    I wasn't liking it so much at first... but it has totally grown on me!!! :D
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    Grown on me too. Besides, it's not like it was on an album or anything. It was a free gift from the band. Thought that was cool in and of itself.

    i like both studio and the live version, although its better live. everything they do is better live imho
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    Ive not heard it live but I like the studio version, the chorus is great and nails the new wave sound theyve gone for.

    Ed was fucking mental when he was blasting Ole out of the water in Vancouver...

    Awesome tune. I am a fan.

    hmmm nice to see all the support for Ole around here.

    I happen to think it's one of their worst songs of all time so I'm just wondering if those who dislike it as much as I do are just keeping quiet or if I'm truly in the minority.

    Of the Earth is fucking awesome though.

    Olé is not as good as most PJ songs. I dont think it sucks, it's just not as good... But the free gift thing is really cool.

    As am I. It has grown on me since first listen, but still needs some warming up to from me. Can't wait to see it live someday though, maybe that will change my mind!

    Olé is awesome live.

    Especially seeing it in Vancouver. I loved Eddie's raw emotion and distaste for the statues in the front rows.

    I dig it. It's a fun little 2 1/2 minute blast of punk-rock goodness. Nothin' wrong with that.

    I think it's pretty awesome. I've thought that since I first heard it. Think it's a pretty nifty rocker. I'm looking for an album that's 50/50 backspacer/binaural.

    Anybody know if it's a new recording? I figured it was just an outtake from the Backspacer sessions.

    Couldn't really hear much but I like it a bit better already :mrgreen:

    Ed's also wearing my favourite Ed T-shirt. Gawd, I sound mildly stalker-ish.

    I like it...and I think the thing about it being better live goes for most of their songs, just cause they're such a powerful live band.
