Been putting some thought into Under the Skin...

(Am currently using the internet station at the local library.)

Probably won't be able to make it out to the States this time around, but I look forward to hearing the album and keeping track of all you guys as you go to see Lindsey live.

My thoughts for the album? Contrary to Mr Stew and some others, I agree with Gerald (no suprise) and friends about the more of 'Shut Us Down' the better. (Is my Shut Us Down avatar still on here? I have avatars turned off for workplace etc.) And most of all I'm hoping for a Down On Rodeo album version of some kind or another! Soundstage was great but the GOS final version was masterfully done.

I will pop in and lurk from time to time as more details develop. See you around everyone!

JOE!!!!!!
Pop in any moment. I miss you like H*LL!!!

the GOS material has never been released in any way, right? aside from the songs that made it to SYW, why shouldn't he use it - we technically shouldn't know that it exists. i want new songs, but i won't be surprised or disappointed if we get a bunch of GOS tunes.

sometimes, there is a downside to knowing what we know. if i wasn't hanging out on the Ledge, i'd never have found the GOS songs or been expecting a solo album (and been let down so many times) etc. everything would be a pleasant surprise... but who wants that

I'd say these...

Somebody's Gotta Change Your Mind - Opener? Like on Soundstage
Shut Us Down - Perfect closer
Given Thing
Down On Rodeo - Could be re-recorded as an acoustic, but could be saved for the follow-up as well
I Am Waiting - Played on Soundstage, I doubt he would use more than one cover of any one artist on this album, but Blue Turns to Gray and She Smiled Sweetly would fit in great
To Try For The Sun - Great acoustic number, but again another cover

I think it wouldn't heard for LB to release Big Love and Go Insane in their acoustic form, like the 2 awesome versions he did on The Dance re-recorded. We will probably get a handful of new songs that he was writing and recorded while on the road during Say You Will.

The rock and roll one will probably have Shuffle Riff, Deep Dense, Gift of Screws, Steve's Riff, Twist of Fate and maybe Gotta Get Away and The Singer Not The Song.


I wonder if he will have any guest artists? Whatever, I am stoked for some new LB
