Yeah, RIP PJ

True talk. Bad show, 10C.

It was OK but I was expecting more. I guess there is more, and I think we'll be getting that over the next few weeks.

It's the same with other 'minorities', in many ways. On Dutch TV, most talkshow guests are still male, and then when it's females, either the host is sexist, or they are not really asked for their expertise but just for being famous or good looking. There are programs showing all kinds of people in a normal way, but it should have been much more 'normal' in 2013, I think.

Yeah this statement is unnecessarily killjoy.

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

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.

You ever see the iconoclasts episode with ed in? Entire thing is unintentionally hilarious. There's a bit with ed and the dude listening to big wave I think in the car.

I haven't seen it but I can imagine. It's just another example of the dumbing down. They wouldn't have done that in an EPK for any album between No Code and Riot Act.

But that's only because they were ever so fearful of seeming to have fun back in those days.

I don't believe that, they had a lot of obvious fun. It just wasn't cringe-worthy to watch.

Yeah back then we got gems like this

Wait was it nothing? They don't mention it at the end. Hmmm

The guitar part? I think is Sirens.

Booo

I totally agree, yep.

The acoustic music at the very start isn't 'Sirens', guys.

Oh wait, maybe it is, it just sounded different at the start.

Cool vid. Would have been great a month ago sound clip wise.

He probably just messed it up..wouldn't want Sirens to be perfect in any video format

I think you were right the first time..doesn't sound like it to me.

Someone figure it out so I know whether im allowed to like it.

The chorus sounds like it. Either it is Sirens, or Yellow Moon sounds far too similar.

After 1071 pages, I still have no clue how Harmless feels about the album...

I haven't heard it.

Fun to watch though, yea?

Its like a wave, and a surf, breaking, and aw huh, being on it and riding it and then the board, and a wave and its a song....

I hope I've been clear about my cautious optimism for the album.

right now i guess he hates it. He hates PJ and this EPK and everything.
