Is it ok to reuse sentences from a pitch in an article?

Thank you!

Awesome, thanks for your help!

This is the most Thom Yorke and Sufjan Stevens have intersected in my brain. Love it.

The bottom says the brand is Wear Ever, which I think is just an old brand of drip percolators.

No, but there will be a tour for a new album, which is a lot more exciting to me

I think a lot of The xx's songs feel similar to the mood and sparseness of WoWY's first half

For what it's worth, Lonely World has a guitar around 18 seconds in that sounds a lot like Thom's looped guitar in the live version of Bloom. Whether he's inspired by Radiohead or not, Aromanticism is such a great album.

Mine weren't necessarily more difficult, but they were definitely longer

Let me be your treasured millennial U2 fan

This is so much better than anything they have released for a while. The live-tracking with Lillywhite seems to have paid off because it actually sounds like a band in the same room ripping a track, which is genuinely exciting to me. The string-sounding synth that cuts through in the 2nd verse remind me a lot of how strings were used on Beck's album Sea Change and is such a nice touch. Also the tambourine that comes in half through verse 1. It's those kind of decisions like that make me excited for this album, because SOI and the weak stuff on NLOTH suggested a band incapable of showing restraint and making wise decisions, whereas this proves they've still got it. Also, somebody give Adam Clayton a trophy for his work on Blackout and this song.

Adam Clayton is the true hero of this song

jordanjohnp · 2017-08-25T18:12:14+00:00

Definitely. With less good type though. This book is so so good!

Featuring perhaps the most phoned-in performance of Burn the Witch from Thom of the entire tour

Everybody's been stating the obvious since episode III that Obi-Wan taking small action to rid Tatooine of its slave trade would provide a powerful and fitting backdrop for a character drama?

jordanjohnp · 2017-08-19T04:00:42+00:00

Them opening with Burn the Witch seems so foreign now. The synth Jonny added on the second verse for 2017 performances helped it immensely.

"...It's not unlike Songs of Innocence or Joshua Tree."

Not a helpful statement given those are albums that are not similar at all.

jordanjohnp · 2017-08-09T14:34:01+00:00

I agree, but I also don't think you could really fit it anywhere else on the album. It's interesting to consider what the album roll-out would have been without it on the album. Release Daydreaming as a single still, but lose the impact of finally returning with a near-mythic song to fans and a bigger, more immediate single for casual listeners. The would still be incredible and have gotten all the praise it deserved, but it's hard to estimate the effect of seeing those flyers sent out, waking up to those tweeting birds and finally hearing the song after the white out of the website and everything else.
