Red Mosquito

Just about the success/download conversation earlier, talking with a guy last night who'd know and he was saying overhere at least, downloads, even illegal ones from torrents are in a steep decline and streaming has become the new thing with music. We both agreed that cheapens music even further again and is probably quite bad for mid range to big artists/bands in terms of revenue. I've need streamed anything I don't think, I'd rather have it in some form, but it seems record companies are embracing this and arent on the back foot in the same way when the torrent thing kicked the shit out of them.

Preferably someone who speaks in complete sentences.

So not Ed, I guess.

edit - yep this is stupid as hell

Wrong ... that was genius!

By the way, according to iTunes, MYM is the 2nd track on the album. That means none of the rumored tracklists are correct.

Im just waiting for the new fakes to start showing up, and we will see if people pay attention to the itunes tracklist before they throw it out there

Yeah but It had 13 songs.

Mike said nothing about the new album at all.

"If you're a Pearl Jam fan you're going to love it," says a proud Mike of the album, "and even if you're not, maybe it'll turn you into one!"

Why must they be so vague and patronising?

Ha ha, that was amazing!!! I want whatever psychedelics that guys using.... Or maybe not?

stip wrote:I like the art. I think my problem with the title is that lightning bolt is just not the greatest sounding phrase.

The title is really starting to grow on me now but I agree, at first it just felt really awkward. So I've been thinking... What if they called it "Bolt of Lightning"? It would convey the same meaning. The artwork would still be relevant. It's a self-reference, which I always sort of enjoyed. And, most important of all, it's just a much more poetic phrase.... There's a reason Ed didn't sing "caught a lightning bolt, cursed the day he let it go".

Well, that's probably all mike knows about it
