First single is Stop Making Stupid People Famous. While I expected this, wish they were more original in what to release first. Feel like this song is old and has been heard so many times. But maybe that’s just fan syndrome.

[xjsb125]

Probably so. In the die hard community it's aged a bit, but there is no full release of it that has been put out. There was a lengthy clip played on an interview with Raine, but not a full song. On top of that, there are more people out there that have never heard it than those that have. If it gets them some radio, then it's a smart decision. I think some people in the community are building this album up in their minds to be just like SM 1. It won't be.

I thought that both interviews were really wonderful. Liked Jeremy's a bit more. It was nice to hear some new insight about the old era specifically. I became a fan in about 2010. So insight about the first peak of popularity is pretty gold to my ears.

I'd love to hear Mike's insight on some more specific songs. Being the guitar player he could really speak to some things and I'd watch that for 2.5 hours easy.

“Stop making stupid people famous” is out next Friday and features Pussy Riot. Interesting.

[Furious George]

The Pussy Riot news is definitely a surprise. Between this and Mike showing up on a song, the album could have a bunch of cameos. Interesting indeed and definitely a new direction.

Jeremy's take on working with Arnold is very much in the other direction, haha. From Jeremy's interview, my take away on Arnold was that he was too involved, which Jeremy didn't seem to like. But it also sounded like he pushed Jeremy into finding his own style when his playing sounded like other people. I guess it's like when you hate the one boss everybody else likes, haha.

I will have to listen to both of these... I never really followed either Mike or Jeremy in too much detail after their departures.

[Forky Meets Porky]

Is someone able to give an overview of Jeremy’s side of things. With his behaviour on Twitter, I don’t know if I want to sit through two podcast episodes on the matter, but would still like to know what he has to say

Just sharing this here ( I'll do also on Discord):

Acoustic show in Buffalo before the live show... it features Clumsy, Wish You Well (man how amazing it sounds acoustically), Innocent and SMSPF, along with a little chat with the band, a bit of a shame that sometimes audio "skips" but is good in every case.
