Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Are we to presume you’ve heard a bit of the new DP CD? If so, how about a taste of what your initial reaction is…
Thanks

I take it that promos for the limited edtion are given out now as well? Any news on the japanese release?
September 10th, 2005 at 07:59I assume the “Mr Grover” is Mr Glover & “Mr Gillian” is Mr Gillan or was that the other band, Heavy Mauve. I was never aware Frank Zappa “caught on fire”?
Cheers, LP Norte.
September 11th, 2005 at 19:42While it has some nice solos, I kinda get the impression this is one advertisment for “Classic Rock Radio”.
September 21st, 2005 at 13:27Then I think you misunderstood it. I see the entire song as a light attack on the predictability of classic rock radio and journalists.
September 21st, 2005 at 13:39I don´t have the full lyric in front of me, so I can´t tell at the moment. I hope there is some irony in it as you imply. Sounds like a lost HOBL era song, though. Specially dig the ending that the above lines quote.
September 21st, 2005 at 15:55What is the mood of the song. Fast, slow, midtempo… any comparison to other songs on the album?
September 23rd, 2005 at 11:34Pretty fast, “jumpy”, funny. A comparison to the rest of the album would be that it’s the best son gon the album. :^)
September 23rd, 2005 at 15:11Thanks for the description. It the reviews it sounds like a ‘fast’ track is missing amongs the other songs on the album. Maybe this is the one!
September 24th, 2005 at 05:25I said pretty fast. :^) It’s not exactly “Speed King”.
September 24th, 2005 at 05:59The best track on the cd. Nothing more to say.
