REALLY digging the falsetto. Can't wait to hear a live version - even if it were to be from Brooklyn.

Good innit?! :D

Remember, this is the radio edit, not the final version that'll be on the record.

So about a month after the Myspace show? intersting that she'd consider 7 songs publically played up to that point not good enough.

I'm still wondering if:

Joyride
Give Me Sympathy(heavy)
Standing in Line
Up in Flames
Black Sheep(original)

Have been put to pasture - save some old youtube clips.

No confirmed indication they'll be on the(still dateless)album. Annoying that the Brooklyn 9/2008 audio is MIA.

There's no indication they won't be either though is there? The main ones I'm concerned might not appear are Up In Flames and the original version of Give Me Sympathy which I perferred, the panties bit is great!

As for the others I thought they performed Joyride and Standing In Line a few times - I can't remember how much Black Sheep changed, was it a lot from the myspace version?

And isn't it possible nobody actually recorded the Brooklyn gig?

Jimmy talks about the new album. Confirms that Emily went to South America this time last year.

Up in Flames and Black Sheep were the first to vanish from the setlists. BS seem to turn into Freddie, which that band last played 6 weeks ago still sounding like the Myspace version. UIF was discounted in the lowdown interview on youtube - and has been missing from setlists for 18 months(KMB claimed it was played in DC 9/2007)

SIL, JR have been setlist missing for over a year and the HIA video and Jimmy interview I just posted don't seem to speak highly of this material. There's also the question if they were omitted from the Brooklyn setlist rumoured to be a previsionary album tracklisting.

GMS appears to be the slow, pantieless version for good. They may be aiming for a 2nd/3rd single.

I do find it odd that brooklyn audio is still missing. There's tons of photos and fans knew in advance it'd would be an evening of exclusive material. Plus the whole "album" was performed twice in order. Metric tape collectors appear to be very segregated and only in certain areas with many shows privately tucked away. Remember that nobody on this forum admitted to attending the NYC shows.
