[kj] New album, wot did he just say?

[Jiri]

I had the same experience...in the car everything is sounding at the 
right levels, almost polished, I can even hear the vocals quite well on 
songs where they disappear when played on the computer/ipod. I don't 
exactly have a high-end car stereo. Then again I could harldy make out a 
single word from Democracy before I played it in the shower and the 
vocals bounced off my walls just right.

Regarding singles and mix -- I believe it was on the message board that 
someone said they emailed Cooking Vinyl and got a reply that 1) the 
single will have B-sides on it, and 2) that the leaked album mix is 
probably not the final mix. I don't believe either of these (unless 
"b-side" refers to some shit remixes); it's probably just what a record 
company person is supposed to say to make sure people actually buy the 
thing. But thought I'd share for what it's worth anyway...
