Having to see UM cover Cheap Sunglasses or Hollywood Nights multiple times sucks because it reminds me they have awful taste in music.

In what world do they think people really care about finding more Easter eggs so that 5 people can win an “AFAF Prize Package”?
At least with the Mantis release tiers it was stuff that benefited everyone.

What exactly do we think Joel means by “recent breakthroughs surrounding the concept of live group modulations”? I mean, they’re a jamband so isn’t “live group modulation” just a fancy way of saying exactly what they do?
I’m also not a musician or musically-inclined so I literally know nothing.

They had to remind BB that they are indeed still a jam band after Bayliss said:
“The jamming thing is where our roots were,” Bayliss says, “playing live shows, not having enough material and having to fill time to get paid.”

It’s under the umbrella of jamming but he’s talking specifically about when they are playing in a given key and, after switching to another chord in that key, staying on that chord to establish it as the new root.

The “not caring about getting back, more where we’re going” is why I think we’ve seen some more of the “type 2” jamming this summer - straying outside the song structure/chord progression, which, I think the hardcore followers of this band who go to see them all the time, have been clamoring for for a long time. It ups the unpredictability of the songs and sets.
There’s more risk taking involved because when you stray that far, you either come together with the rest of the band to really make something beautiful, or you can fall flat on your face and its near unlistenable. But with a band like UM and the musicianship they all have, the juice is worth the squeeze IMO.
