It's been a while between posts here. So...
As a producer, I thought you might like to know when your work goes out into the world and takes on it's own life in the way which might not be expected. Australia is a very vast country, and as touring musicians here, there is usually loads and loads of driving between shows on tour. Due to that, often, you will load out of a venue at 1:30am and be back on the road at 5 or 6am to drive the 10 hours to the next load in and sound check.
On the last tour, we found that the new Paramore record exudes the perfect amount of energy for the first stretches of driving early in the morning. The energy is evenly spaced track wise too - just as the bounce is wearing off, such things as "It's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going..." lift it again with a bit of sing along relative irony!
Therefore, good coffee + the right musical energy/singalongability (hey, I made up a new word) = a much brighter mood in the van and less bitching and moaning! Haha.
