You gonna get the new albums?

¡Uno! is awesome, guys. Just straight up Green Day, with something... a little different. It's dirty and sexy, it's sweet, it's angry... it's a little of everything.

Oh Green Day. I used to really like listening to them when I was a teenager.

That's... cool...

Some of this new stuff sounds totally old in the best ways. <3. I don't mean "old Green Day" I mean "old rock'n'roll".

[Mika]

I'm actually pretty unfamiliar with the new stuff.

[femme gauche]

Well, I don't think the promotion may have been as successful as it could be. The new albums ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! started (with ¡Uno!) being released in September. ¡Dos! will be out in November; ¡Tré! in January. Singles so far are "Oh Love", "Kill The DJ", "Let Yourself Go", with "Stray Heart" looking like the first from the second album, and videos for "Carpe Diem", "Nuclear Family", "Troublemaker", and "Stay The Night" up on Youtube (in addition to "Kill The DJ" and "Oh Love" which have videos released for Mtv)

Was it Green Day that did the song with Marie Mai?

[femme gauche]

I have no idea who that is. They've never collaborated on their own albums, except on one of the new ones they have found a local artist from their area of California and teamed up with her with (presumably) very interesting results.

[Mika]

She's a french singer. I remember seeing a band make a song with her over here. It might have been Simple Plan or Good Charlotte or something.

[femme gauche]

I see. If she's french, it may have been Simple Plan. They're French Canadian. But Green Day are a good deal older than either them or Good Charlotte.

[Mika]

I know they are. x3 I grew up with greenday, since I grew up in the 90s. Well, they're a few years older than me, but still. They debuted in 87 right?

[femme gauche]

Something like that XD. I just get a little weirded out when people confuse them with Good Charlotte or Simple Plan xD.

[Mika]

It's not that I confuse them with those bands, I can tell the difference, but they're all similar genre.

[femme gauche]

I see xP.

Green Day's new stuff seems to definitely be straying from that, though. I mean, it's distinctly them, but someone from fifteen years ago would hear this music and have no idea it could ever be the same band.

[Mika]

I should go look it up at some point. x3 Right now I'm mostly digging instrumentals. Like stuff by Yiruma, Detektivbyran, and some of Emilie Autumn and Apocalyptica.

[femme gauche]

That's cool. I can guarantee it is nothing like Apocalyptica because they're the only ones I've heard anything from, but. The newest song that has been leaked off of the second album has a very strong Motown vibe (which I dig, being from just outside the Motor City)
