Two!
You must have listened to ¡Dos! by now, yes? It's the second Green Day album to come out this autumn and the great news is there's another one on the way in January. What a great world we live in.
So what do you think about the third song, Stop When The Red Lights Flash? Does your brain do what mine does and get very confused by the intro? I keep thinking that the very first guitar chord you hear in the song is on the first beat of the bar, which sounds great for a while but then when the drums properly come in sounds really out of sync. It's only when the verse starts that my mind catches up with the rhythm of the song and I realise that very first guitar chord I heard was actually half a beat before the end of the bar.
If you've got no idea what I'm going on about then take a listen yourself. Somebody has put the whole album up onto YouTube and this particular song begins 3m52s in. It's like the aural equivalent of one of those optical illusions that look like one thing then suddenly morph into something totally different.
Enough of that. In today's Deal or No Deal everybody seemed to forget the meaning of the word 'coincidence', which is why Tommy ended up winning just five pounds.
