Hummm?. Strange. Dave once said he leans toward more recent songs when working on an album. This is odd. I guess we all have our favourite "unreleased" songs we'd prefer, but I'll be optimistic that it will be really good since the band has been quite tight of late. Some inspired performances of tho...

Pre-recorded music...humm. No wonder Dave nailed the intro It's a challenging little lick. I know I've fucked it up every time I've tried it. Bring on the live live shows. A Toronto stop would be nice.

I like the "demo/ studio" version better. Listen close and you hear birds. His voice is relaxed like it's a first take early in the morning. I like the slower tempo better; the Palais Royale version sounds a bit rushed.
Off topic, i know. Just my 2 cents about that song

It may be a happy new record year after all. Can't wait to hear the new songs and see more live shows!!

did he say. "Dave Pirner searches for his bong"? Or was it ball?

I think the hair comparison was ridiculous.

I'll be in Florida in 3 weeks, too early for the show, but good news for sure. Maybe Dave will give a more specific release time for "the album". For those who make it there enjoy, they were right on back in September!

"... been holding my breath for so long..."

Yes, we have one cat named Seamus who is sitting on my lap right now trying to type. He loves boxes and talking to birds.

30 years is amazing!! It proves the passion they have for what they do. Like true artists, they do it for themselves and if money follows, great. It's like they've had 3 careers in one. 1981-1992 (the one the general public still doesn't know about), 1992-1996 (their moment in the sun), 1996-present...

I would like them to do "While You Were Out". IF they ever did such a thing, it would be Grave Dancers Union because that was the big one. In reality I would like "the New Album" from front to back. And maybe back again for good measure. Ha Ha Ha!
