Cringe inducing!
Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

But it's more than we usually get from them. And yet, I found it through a google search. Why can't they just promote themselves like normal people?

That spooky image at the end is Ian, right?

What is that image of Mac at the end?? I hope that's doctored because it's highly disturbing.

It's pretty funny how the only animated thing he ever does on stage is that swimming bit they put at the end. Well, that and shooting out the lights.

Is he dressing up again?

Even I dislike Proxy. In the folded up sheet I threw up on stage at Coachella (8 of them at once) my last comment to "Mr. Echo" was that they take Proxy off their website and replace it with something more characteristic of the band, chosen from a long list of loved songs. Unfortunately they replaced it with something more obnoxious. If they are listening, they are playing a cruel joke.

Yikes!

Why wasn't 'November' promoted more?

It seemed to be a far better choice for a single and seemed to get lost somehow.

I agree with most that Proxy is a little lame and verging on embarrassment.

Does anyone know the lyrics to November?

I don't think I even want to click on that. Is it worse than Stormy Weather with Ian in the swing?

No. Nothing can be that bad.

This one is just reused flip video from a past U.S. tour. If I really cared, I'd go see if it was 2005 or 2006. But there is a disturbing bunny image that stays on the screen and then the creepy Ian face thing at the end. Just play it with the sound off.

Does any outlet play videos anymore?

That last image, while disturbing to some, reflects a much more mature, dignified, cross-dressing Mac, as opposed to the following images when he was a young, teasing, slut! :mrgreen:

WTF. I feel ill.

Was it not the "B-side" though to Think I Need It Too? So it wasn't promoted at all. Good song though and should have crept in the setlist - it is just crying out to be performed live.

If by magic....

I went back down to the creases
I swore that I'd never go there again
I broke into a million pieces
Can you put me back together again?

If we go now
Into the light
If we go now
And leave this good this good good night

I went right back to the first place
Just another frozen time
A black coat in the first place
Was all that I could find

If we go now
Into the light
If we go now
And leave this good this good good

I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
Down down
Down down

I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
Down down
Down down

I'm gonna walk out into the ocean
And ----------- -------- love goodbye
Shooting stars shot at slow motion
Afraid to fade away to die

If we go now
Into the light
If we go now
And leave this good good night

If we go now
Into the light
If we go now
And leave this good this bad good

I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
Down down
Down down

I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
I'm not the one who told you
Down down
Down down

He's really rocking the mom slacks.

I tried to watch and I only made it about 1:04 in then I skipped to the end to see the creepy part. Look at us now indeed.
