    Inspired by this thread… I put Backspacer on in the car while driving my 14 year old daughter to basketball practice tonight.  When The Fixer came on the following conversation was had:

    Her: Oooh… I like this song.
    Me: Really? (She has never said she liked a PJ song despite hearing them hundreds of times)
    Her: Yeah… it’s good. 
    Me: You should add it to your playlist.
    Her: Well… I don’t like it that much.  I meant it was good for your music.
    Me: 

    True story. 


    that's funny...I had a similar conversation with my daughter (23) about the album. She loves the Fixer....I've always despised it but I do like the demo version. I think the song that is on the record is drastically different than Matt intended.
    Where can I find the demo version? I don’t think I’ve ever heard it.

    Imagine these lyrics with Ed singing...full band, etc. Totally different vibe. I love it.
    Very cool. Thank you!

    How can a demo by a member of a huge rockband in 2007 sound so, "cassette tape recording something a room away in 1970"

    But yeah, I prefer this

    It's an okay song... wouldn't go so far as to name a username here after it or anything...

    =)
    I considered changing my username to OneManStandsAlone a while back. Instead I think I'll save it for the title of my memoir.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I'm on team Backspacer.  And this song is amazing.
