Does he mind? Does he have time?

I'm not clear on that.

I hope the next thing he waits for is the release of any future music ... I didn't hear anything in this song worth listening to.

Very Neil Finn-ish. Like Neil better.

Is he in The Shins? Sounds like 'em.

ETA: No, he isn't.

I feel I have to save that album cover, and the "childlike empress" within - from the NOTHING.

Normally, I am as easygoing and receptive as the next person....but I would enjoy beating SR senseless. Perhaps with 9-iron.
Future of rock my Aunt Fanny.

It was only three years ago that he was gracing the cover of Toro magazine's premiere issue, which proclaimed him "the future of rock."

Hello,

This is third (or fourth?) time I have heard this song in the past week or so, and each time I like it less. To each their own, I guess.

True on both accounts! Sam kinda looks like Jim Morrison up there on stage.


When I saw him, it was more like "Born to Run" era Bruce Springsteen - scruffy, sexy, and something to prove.

Weak vocals, like 50% of RP's playlist.(or maybe it just seems that way sometimes) So evident particularly after hearing a classic song sung, actually sung, by someone like Van Morrison.

These guys came through Edmonton about a month ago. Played a smaller venue then they should have. It was a great concert. Recommend this album and a lot of songs off of their previous album 'We Were Born In A Flame'.

I'm intrigued by Bill's selection of "Missionary Man" followed by "Uprising Down Under."
