17,000 makes into the top 10?

that's a pretty steep decline for just 4 years (not the PJ sales per se, but that they sold about 25% less and moved up 7 slots on the chart.

Haven't listened to lightning bolt since getting back from Brooklyn.
Gonna give it some time. We got 75% of the record over two nights.
They're clearly very happy to be playing these songs.

When in fuck is Getaway gonna turn up?)

Who would've predicted before the tour that they'd play Pendulum every night and Getaway zero nights?
