OK man, I can do it. May need to have one or two others volunteer too just in case I'm wiped out in some bizarrely misplaced explosion or otherwise unfortunate incident.

or 8 days if you're a Berliner and want to listen to BoB.

This article is an excellent read. It's an interview with artist Andy Smetanka who helped with the animation for the MYM video. Here's an interesting excerpt:

"Another great thing about the digital process was that it created, as a sort of happy by-product of the animation, literally thousands of huge JPG files for the band to incorporate into both the Electronic Press Kit and the album artwork for the upcoming release! Double bonus!"

Uh? So as of 8/23, the album artwork may still not be finished?

Also, here's another interesting snippet:

"Are you a Pearl Jam fan or, if not, have you been converted in any way?
AS: I don't own any Pearl Jam recordings apart from a CD burn of just this one song, but I definitely consider myself a fan of the band, more for what they stand for than for the music itself (although the song is a corker!). As many who know me will surely point out, this has not always been the case. Along with certain other Indy writers, I used to be infamous for knocking them in print every chance I got back in the mid-to-late '90s. But the truth is that I've never had any substantive beef with them, and in my experience it's hard to find anyone who does. We were young, snotty punks and we wanted enemies. Now, of course, the idea of little punks like we were then casting aspersions on what is and is not worthwhile music and "selling out" is just comical to me."

bluestate wrote:What's interesting about the article is that this guy says he was working on the animation for this during the month of July... and some of the leftover images could possibly be incorporated into the album artwork for LB.

So when they announced the album back on 7/11.. there was no finalized album artwork... which might be why we didn't get a tracklist either...

They are still working on the album! That scares me a bit

Why would they do all this before finishing it? Do you think there's internal conflict going on? Jesus, God, please let there be internal conflict going on.

It's Stone's fault... it's always Stone's fault!

And are they still working on it because it needs to get more awesome, or because it needs more fixin'?

I don't like this. I don't like this one single bit.
