oh wow. with that in mind I'm very very curious how the PP slot at the damn Illinois State Fair turns out this month haha
the real ones know about the scrapped song from Kindred with her on it that would've slotted between My Brother Taught Me How to Swim. and Ten Feet Tall (II), called Stop That (only on press copies of Kindred before it had a title)
Stop That is a top 5 Passion Pit song for me easy. To this day it baffles me that song was scrapped, but also that the label randomly sent it with the press release and even Michael had no idea at first how people had even found it.
I totally forgot it existed but here's that song, hanging around on YouTube A fully mastered and ready-to-go advance of an album with an extra song isn't quite as rare as you'd think. e.g. Jimmy Eat World's Futures was sent out as an advance with an extra song called Jen, dropped last-minute due to plagiarism allegations and a publishing dispute.
