Pretty sure "normal" is just being used to say he's down to earth like everybody else.. not absorbed by fame, stuck up because of it, etc. I wouldn't think it's meant to be exclusionary. Just meant to point out that he hasn't changed the core of who he is just because people pay attention to him, and it's very apparent. I like that about him too.
What I meant... Yeah, he seems like stardom didnt get to him, just by hearing him talk, and his stage prescence.... Like after the show (Rivers or Jack), you could find them, say, sitting at the bar, talking to people, just 'hanging out'. He seems genuine. Like, being in a band is his day job. 9-5 M-F Im in a band, and at night, I go see movies, go to bars, etc... Like he wouldnt stand out much, just 'one of the guys'.....
This is definitely my most anticipated album this year at this point. This and DTTM are easily my two favorite songs of the year.
Just went over to my mother's place and I put "Don't Take The Money" on her speakers. She had me download it for her phone and iPod, and when I left she still had it on repeat. I've converted her.
You're Still A Mystery was always a highlight of their live show, partially because of the sax in that song, so it's so exciting to have even more now. Every song has been so fantastic. This album is going to floor me - I expect everything will sound even better as a whole. I love how different and unique each song is, but yet it's also unmistakably Bleachers. I hope this album really blows up, because he deserves to be selling out arenas. Also waiting on either the Lorde/Bleachers or the Paramore/Bleachers or the Lorde/Paramore/Bleachers tour.
I actually really don't like the vocals in the 2:30/40 area, I don't like the way they are strained like he can't hit the right notes. Otherwise I love the song
I'm pretty sure Jack is inviting people to his actual bedroom in NJ for album listening parties. jackantonoff (@jackantonoff) | Twitter
I'd assume that address isn't actually where he lives right? Probably he'll meet people there then take them to his place? Damn I wish so badly I live in New York right now haha
