Random lyric question: the line “I feel like a cello lost somewhere over the rainbow" everyone seems to love that line, why, I don't know, which is making me think there's some secret meaning to it other than what I'm hearing? If not, what's the meaning of that lyric in general? :lol:

I'm so glad you asked this (and for the answer).  I was convinced that the lyrics were "I feel like a child lost somewhere over the rainbow" and I laughed at myself for hearing "cello" but then I looked it up.  It always confused me but so glad to have some clarification.

He did explain it in an interview - I just can't remember which one.

It was an interview in England, in November, I believe.  I had a link, but it looks like the video's been taken off Youtube.  It was the same interview where an audience member reminded Billie he said he was going to move to England if Trump won and asked if that was still the plan.

I don't remember anyone tinkling in any of them.

That was the one at Otis, where they had a mic in the bathroom.

It was this one:

And this is what he said:

"A cello is like a, it’s very, it can be really kind of deep and sad sounding over-like, an instrument, and it’s a very beautiful instrument. Um, I think in the symphony it tells the story of something that is hitting the bottom of your heart."

Has anyone reported finding Tre Cool's drumsticks at any of the shows so far? If so, where were they? I think Tre is primarily hiding them in the very far back, at the very top seats. Anyway, I will have two opportunities to find them this summer and I really wanna. :D

The thing is it doesn't work that well because it's a one off, instant line. So as he sings "fuck you I'm from ____" anyone singing along is still going to sing "fuck you I'm from Oakland" and most likely not even hear him change it. Did he change it in London? I didn't notice because I and everyone around me was shouting Oakland loudly :P 

I didn't hear England either :lol: I wonder if he'll say Ireland when in Northern Ireland or say Belfast :cool:

Ok here's an interesting question - (or maybe everybody knows about it except me, i dunno)

Anyway, was the Kerplunk flower a creation of the lookouts?

Case in point EP 'IV' released by The Lookouts in 1990:

And then Kerplunk was released 1 1/2 years later,...

Chris Appelgren from Lookout records created the flower. He did a lot of the art for Lookout releases around that time period

so what is Jeff Matika's role in the band Banner Pilot? I've seen him credited for playing with them, but I have all their albums and I just checked and he's not on any of them. I've seen them a couple times at Insub Fest in Baltimore and I saw them a few towns over in Endicott back in 2009 but I'm pretty sure he didn't play any of those shows. is he just a semi-recent touring guitarist?

Question: I saw a picture on Google which showed the album bootleg "On The Radio" like a little set. (Cardboard box like Bullet In A Bible, looks like a double CD / CD&DVD release). I got the normal jewel case CD release myself. Anyone got additional infos on that thing? Thanks! :-)

In Europe they did, but they didn't sell individual ones on the US tour - the poster had all the dates on
