[17:02] jillysp: we’re finally listening
[17:03] jillysp: and np: again, again, again
[17:03] jillysp: which should be subtitled:
[17:03] jillysp: Again, Again, Again (Fysche’s Song)
[17:03] jillysp: i like this
[17:03] jillysp: it’s like death from above for lovers
[17:04] jjb: hah
[17:05] jjb: i listened to the whole thing 3-4 times
[17:05] jjb: it’s all right. Rose March is pretty
[17:07] jillysp: np: pox
[17:07] jillysp: i like this
[17:07] jillysp: it makes me laugh
[17:07] jillysp: i think most of the pumpkins’ stuff makes me laugh
[17:07] jjb: yes
[17:07] jillysp: either intentionally or unintentionally
[17:07] jjb: i feel the same way
[17:07] jjb: i talk about it as if it’s all intentional
[17:08] jjb: i guess i feel, as a former artist myself, that you almost don’t worry about the effect you have, you just let it out
[17:08] jillysp: i think it struck me most in atlanta when i was just dying of laughter at united states
[17:08] jillysp: everyone around me was just like
[17:08] jillysp: so serious
[17:08] jjb: or that, if you’re doing your job correctly, that’s what you should do
[17:08] jillysp: and billy is just.. WANKING
[17:08] jjb: hehe
[17:08] jillysp: and you can see both lisa and jeff offstage laughing
[17:08] jjb: so, i think billy does do a good job in just letting it out
[17:08] jillysp: and it was like.. okay, i don’t know who the joke is on
[17:09] jillysp: but i think i’m in on it
[17:09] jjb: hehe, right
[17:09] jjb: i think i’m the same way
[17:09] jjb: well, you should know if i am or not
[17:09] jillysp: because he can’t be serious
[17:09] jillysp: i mean .. he is serious
[17:09] jillysp: but that wankery just can’t be
[17:09] jjb: well, i think he’s seriously trying to Rock Himself
[17:10] jjb: but he knows the whole enterprise is sort of silly or corny
[17:10] jillysp: um, hexen
[17:10] jillysp: that’s all
[17:10] jillysp: haha
[17:10] jjb: that doesn’t mean he can’t execute it as total seriousness
[17:10] jillysp: he’s been that way forever
[17:10] jillysp: right
[17:10] jillysp: i just wonder if he instructs the Band to not laugh
[17:10] jjb: in fact, laughing about it would probably make it a lot less “awesome” = less laughter
[17:10] jillysp: like, it’s Rule #1 of being a pumpkin
[17:10] jillysp: no laughing on stage
[17:10] jjb: at least not at the music itself
[17:10] jjb: haha
[17:11] jillysp: i mean obv they want to laugh at it
[17:11] jillysp: i like the rose march
[17:11] jillysp: esp when jimmy comes in at the.. bridge?
[17:12] jjb: people will hate the la-da-da, but he brings it back in at the end - i am sort of guessing he added it to the beginning after adding it to the end
[17:12] jjb: and i like that sort of trick
[17:14] jillysp: np: sunkissed
[17:14] jillysp: or whatever
[17:14] jjb: me too
[17:14] jillysp: this one at first listen is the least traditional arrangement so far
[17:15] jillysp: not that they ever have traditional arrangements, per se
[17:15] jjb: it reminds me of stellar, which has taken forever to grow on me, but it has
