Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Getaway did sound even better. Would that it was similarly roughed up on the record.
All in all, this was pretty boring since we didn't hear anything new. I was really hoping for an MFS snippet.

They play that in concert my head is going to do the same thing. I'll even send you a video postcard of it.

I'm hoping for a longer, more extended version. Hell, it'd be pretty rad to get a Single Video Theory type movie.Mike wrote:Do we get to see the full interviews at some point?

I would think so. You don't bring in someone like Apatow to be used for 10 seconds in an EPK.Mike wrote:Do we get to see the full interviews at some point?

Thank you somebody for saying this. The guy is excited about a new record and he gets nitpicked for it on here. Fucking unreal.

Loved the band's reaction to Steve Gleason's question about it being so long between records.

Is that the same car Ed drove at the beginning of Single Video Theory?

I actually find Getaway at least head bob (not o'brien) worthy so maybe I'm a little bias here.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I don't think I ever said I wasn't excited about the new record. I can't wait. I just had a temporary "dancing dad" feeling about this bit. I'm not actually insulting Ed, more the whole concept of the "rocking out in the car" scene. It was a directorial choice I didn't like much. Ed doesn't need defending from this.guitar_davey wrote:evenslow wrote:Yeah this statement is unnecessarily killjoy.harmless wrote:The bit where they're "head-banging" to Getaway in the car was pretty bad.
