Blue Crack Supplier
Ok, so the name dropping has to fit within a certain context for you... got it.
You twist things far too much around here. He's not TELLING anyone anything. Give it a rest...And he keeps on saying it... he should really stop telling bands what to do! It's very arrogant to think he can show bands that it's OK to do certain things THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE.
If you want to talk about Pearl Jam and Radiohead, they were both massive and did not enjoy it, so they changed their situation (and are still huge, and on the radio - PJ and Radiohead had bigger hits on their last records than U2 did). If he wants to begrudge them, fine, but it's extremely unfair. Expecially Radiohead, because as far as I know Kid A is pretty much the consensus pick for best record of the 00s.

You have radio stations that played something off of King of Limbs???
Shocked...
You should try to relax, no one is begrudging anyone.

Bothered by what? There's nothing really news-worthy in it (surprise!).
It's not a surprise they're not going to release it if they aren't thrilled with it.
It's not a surprise there's no timeline for it to be finished.
It's definitely not a surprise that they could still "spoil it."
That said, I liked hearing even a vague tidbit about the Danger Mouse stuff.
Lotus Flower was huge. I heard it every time I turned on the local commercial modern rock station.
I think your inferring a little too much from his reference to Gaye. It doesn't have anything to do with the kind of music they might make.

You mean, like this??
I was really hoping someone could do this.
you have.
That they keep reaffirming the notion of potentially calling it quits.
Sounds to me like they're getting ready to soften the blow.
I was telling BVS the HE can make an assumption. I know that you're trying to look for a contradiction, but you're just showing that A) you didn't finish the sentence or B) your reading comprehension isn't very strong.
I heard it every day on WXRT for about a month. Definitely caught fire on some formats.
Is it a stretch to call 4 weeks of modern rock airplay "huge'"?

Contributing to the sadness of fans obsessing over the lack of news.
"Right now Brian's doing U2.
Hey, look at this:
Broken Bells' Sophomore Disc May Come Before Next Shins Album | Billboard.com
The Shins guy says Danger Mouse is in Dublin, and there will probably be another Broken Bells album! That's all good to hear.
Now you can all go back to arguing about pointless crap.
