Man, Yellow Moon better deliver. This is the second interview where Mike talks about fighting to get that on the album. If it's not awesome, he's an asshat.

It sounds like it'll be awesome if you're into the style. But man, Mike likes some pretty terrible music. I'm still excited that it's Jeff talking about the odd time signature, and not Mike or Ed. I feel like Jeff would know about that kind of thing. But he calls it a "couch song" the second after he's been dissing couch songs, so yeah... who knows?

B, you're the man that can change "Let's" into "Lets" on the front page, right?

I can do that, but I don't see where the problem is.

"Let's" is a contraction of "Let us".

The inner grammar Nazi would be happier with Let(s) so you still get the wordplay...

I've got that, but I searched for "lets" on the front page and only got one hit which was the proper usage. Point me toward the error, my friend.

I bet he considers Nothingman and Low Light as couch songs, too. I did not really see "couch song" as a diss. It's just a word for songs that don't rock hard because there was no drummer when you wrote them.

Oh, sorry. It's the "Ed Throwing Hatchets As He Let's The Records Play" headline that should be "Lets" or "Let(s)".

The title of that hatchet write-up.

Ah yes, that makes sense. I mean, these are songs he wrote, so he can't be dissing them.

Audiophiles, can anyone explain why the MYM on that video sounded so much more "full" than the one we downloaded? I don't think it's a different recording, it's just a non-vocal take which is severely chopped up / edited. I thought I had the single version so I'm wondering why it would sound so different.

the more i hear him talk it up, the lower my expectations go

Some funny prizes by some great ones too

I wondered why Jeff never looked at me. All this time I thought it was me - turns out it was him...

To be honest, what could be worse than not having the song on there and ending the record on SBM and FD? Not a lot. Even if the song's not that great, it can't possibly ruin an ending like that.

SBM - Yellow Moon - Future days will be good. Sleeping By Myself will have a good arrangement, Yellow Moon will be the most beautiful song on the record and Future Days will be saved by more intriguing guitar playing, a nice violin arrangement, Eddie's vocal harmonization and the bridge.

Ok?

I'm really excited. I just think we're going to get a better album than I ever thought possible. Will it be perfect? Of course not. Does it have to be at this point? Heeeeell no.

I already really like Getaway, MYM, Sirens, Lightning Bolt and Swallowed Whole. I expect to really like MFS, Infallible, Pendulum, SBM and Yellow Moon.
