Man, Dave has Rand Paul on tomorrow, imagine if the MGs had been on that one instead... fun green room.

For a second I'd forgotten that Congress was on break and was wondering what the hell Rand Paul was doing on Letterman instead of eating dead babies to bring down the budget or whatever the guy does.

really enjoyed the new song! altho i was also pretty overwhelmed by the meta- ness of the moment ("let the camera / pull back" as I'm staring into the screen with laser focus; from california to iowa to letterman...)

new song on letterman was really really great, jd spit some lyrical darts as per usual.
hooking up with wurster was one of the best things to happen to the goats musically.

so excited y'all
btw, i don't think i said this yet in this thread, but another thing i enjoyed about the letterman appearance is that it gave me a chance to stretch music-fan muscles which have long been atrophying — internet/mp3/album leak era etc etc — it was super-fun to tune in and be like "oh boy, something from the new album!!"
― odd future wolves GM trade them all (bernard snowy), Monday, 28 February 2011 15:01 (thirteen years ago) link
((I guess this is something ppl have flapped their gums abt quite a bit already w/r/t the last 2 radiohead albums — the return of the 'event': album-event, fandom-event, etc. Letterman seems as good a place as any for such events!))
― odd future wolves GM trade them all (bernard snowy), Monday, 28 February 2011 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
gonna listen to this today! & also want to say i am NOT anticipating the first negative review of the album that decides to make the obvious but super zzzzz-worthy pun: "All Eternals Dreck"
― Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Monday, 28 February 2011 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link
it sounds like you sorta are anticipating it tho
― odd future wolves GM trade them all (bernard snowy), Monday, 28 February 2011 15:36 (thirteen years ago) link
actually it no longer needs to be anticipated b/c i just preempted it outside the context of a negative review
do you see what i did there

so there's pretty much no graceful way of revealing this, but I did the vocal arrangement on "High Hawk Season" and am singing the middle part along with two of my college buddies (which is why I have refrained from commenting on that particular song, which on its surface should be total "DJP comments on this immediately" catnip)
