His vocabulary probably hasn't changed much in 20 years.

He was like 30 in the 80s and 90s.

How hip is he going to be at 40 and 50?

Re: The official "The Great Escape Artist" thread

Underground and IF are proper Jane's songs IMO, more so than anything on Strays. They sound like Jane's, and they're easily two of my favorite songs. The rest of the album is going to require multiple listens. It's like discovering a new band. I'm not sure what to make of their sound but I'm intrig...

that's part of it. The other part of the protest is that the banks were then bailed out, with tax money. Made record profits since then.

Isn't that about length of Ritual's side 2? :lol:
Yeah. Three Days -> Classic Girl = approx. 31 minutes.

But Nothing's Shocking's only 45 minutes, and that's with two 6+ minute long tracks.

I'm not sure how you pulled off that rhetorical move there, Hoka. I will say that I tend not to think very highly of 'activist' movements in general, but that's mostly because I don't like "joining a cause", and the whole herd mentality it promotes. Not to mention 'activism' tends to invite the craz...
