    Yes, but "theory" in this context means the best explanation given all the available evidence. If dark matter didn't exist, galaxies would fly apart upon rotation (h/t Vera Rubin). So it's a theory in the same sense that gravity is a theory. Something is affecting visible matter and causing it to cohere, and something is pulling us down toward the center of the earth.

    Sorry, I know you understand this, but I always shudder when I hear "it's only a theory" because people say this to deny evolution without understanding that evolution being a "theory" doesn't mean it's some off-the-cuff idea. It's a well-established, well-substantiated body of knowledge supported by all of the available evidence.
    Yeah, anyone saying "it's only a theory" is just revealing that they don't understand what a scientific theory is.

    Safe to say, if they don't get number 1, their career is over.
    Britney and Tool already killed them. But as remnants of a once no1 band they wander this earth

    I imagine they will have atleast the amount of vinyl options as Earthling to push multiple sales

    The only prediction I'm confident in making about the new album at this point is the astronomy mansplaining will be off the charts

    That was truly a juxtaposed statement given that his comment was taken within the context of hearing only the back alley recording.

    If I recall correctly, disagreeing with Ed is how Brother made the cut.
    wasn't that a disagreement between jeff and stone?

    I'm good for three, one CD and one LP from the Ten Club, and then one CD at retail when my Ten Club order fails to show up on time.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Gonna get completely drowned out by the swifty faithful unless it comes out well before4/19. 

    Does it really matter?  At this point, they're a Veteran rock act with a loyal following.  They're not really mainstream anymore.   Those of us still paying attention will buy a copy or two, but I'm not sure if being overshadowed by a bigger more current artist impact them?  The people most likely to buy the album will still buy the album.  Those who aren't, probably won't anyways.

    I mean I generally agree, but I do think they'd like a little space for the release to "breathe" and then there's only so much music media bandwidth at any given time.  I really do think they'd prefer not to release that close to the most popular star on the planet.

    Says Columbia records. I thought they were on monkey wrench/republic?

    How would Columbia programmers have access?

    Ahhhh. I’m not well versed in this aspect of the biz. Let’s hope we hear something soon.
