ur confusing the bands stance on the gov't w. the bands stance on their own music. they probably told bob not to talk about the songs.
Knowing the original post is a joke...
There's a sporting chance he really has no idea what that song is, considering it's apparently an Avocado song and he didn't have anything to do with that album
Quite probable. Plus, apparently these tracks were demos. In my experience, I don't think producers have much, if anything, to do with demos. Most of the time, a demo is a track recorded just by the band (in a rough mix/format) so they have a copy as a reference point. Then they can listen to it on their own, practice it, etc.

It's quite possible that B'OB has not actually heard of the tracks, or heard of these versions with these particular titles.

I'm pretty sure that these are from the ST sessions so Bo'B would not have heard these unless presented to him as possibles for BS or LB (which they obviously weren't).

He wasn't lying guys. (or he may not be at the very least).

It's all quality posting so wade on in.
Try the last few pages for the 2 or 3 most revealing reviews.

So are we still expecting a review from Mirella? Once we get that, if we do of course, I'm going to pull together a song by song summary. This has been a wealth of information so far. But it really seems that each new review really confirms a lot of the same things we heard from the first few. Damn, I might even start day dreaming these songs into existence in my head if I get a few more useful descriptions.

How about just a 'Listening Party Reviews" thread? Post all of the reviews in the first post(s). We can still discuss LB here, but that thread can be a place to find, and add more, reviews?

How about we come up with a list of options, and then rank them?
:D
