If you'd like to see the cover art we've posted it over at The 1st Five. I'm so fucking stoked about this release. I'm going to buy some new slip on Vans for skanking.

hopefully I'll be able to sell the AJJ/O Pioneers split cassettes by then

Who did you partner with to press this release, Suburban Home or Paper and Plastic?

It's a stupid great record.

ive lost 75lbs since january..

try to remove all of the following from your diet.

sugar

carbs

fat

i mean like all of it.

i was pretty much living off greek yougurt, chicken breast, and slimfast for a couple months... it sucked major ass, but it took the weight off quick, while being super high protein

I want shirtless pictures. Congrats sir!

I've lost ten pounds by not eating fast food and drinking more water. Seriously, go on a few walks every day and eat better. If your wedding is in August you'll be fine.

That was a dumb joke.

How much to ship to the US.

I can't wait until I get the GDP record I ordered on April 24th. I know they had a delay in the pressing but it's almost June. Jesus.

Aw man, I loved this guys music. Sucks to see it end.

Completely agree. His next project is going to be killer though. The doomy band with the dude from Go Rydell that is. Saw a video of them practicing and it was awesome.

Sorry about that. Our host had to do emergency maintenance last night. It's back up.

imadethismistake is breaking up. Kylewilliam was nice enough to announce it in an exclusive interview with the 1st Five. We also have a nice discussion about trends in punk rock and gender politics in underground music, including his views on Odd Future as a feminist hip hop fan. It's a good read. Still really bummed this band is ending, but I can't wait to hear what he does next.

I took all of those lyrics to be not a commentary on drinking but a commentary on the kids who think drinking is all a party is. The girls who get drunk so they can't loosen up, the douchebag frat boys who spend their twenties doing kegstands their parents pay for, etc etc. All my friends are in bar bands isn't about judging dudes who are playing in bar bands, it's about the changes we all have to make as we grow up. He friends are settling down and playing in bar bands, their not out touring and being wild.

I get where you're coming from but look at the record again from a perspective that Soupy is a nice dude who doesn't drink, not straight edger. I think you'll see what he's getting at.

Ah. Still stoked! Em is now posting in this thread. On a sofa across from me. Yuppie Life.

Which Patrick? Patron?

Going this year with the wife. Fucking stoked to death.

dude, will your wife tattoo me? i'll send you money in advance so we can just do it in the room.

it's awesome you're coming.. we can finally meet. we can share a 5 star pizza and a coke.

When are you getting into town? We're getting in Thursday, so maybe she'll be able to get a shop to let her use a room for a day. She's a little weirded out about the idea of tattooing in a hotel room, but I think if she gets a bunch of disposable tubes it would be okay. We'd have to keep it on the DL. It would suck to have people knocking on the door all night thinking they were going to get free tattoos. She wont do them in an unsafe way, but frankly we've got enough time to get her a proper sharps container and enough disposables that she might be able to knock out a couple.

If anyone is interested in getting tattooed at the Fest by my wife shoot me a pm so we can work out details, including cost. We've got to figure out a few legal issues regarding licensing crossing state lines, but any work she does will be with safe, sterilized needles. Just cause it's at a punk fest doesn't mean it will be gross. If you want to see her tattoo work you can check out her https://www.facebook.com/TattoosByEmily

You guys who are just naming the bands you don't like aren't thinking hard enough. Go back in time and destroy their influences and you'll kill them and take out two birds with one stone.

You can stream "Underneath the Sycamore" from Codes and Keys over at 1st Five. I like this song. Ultimately it reminds me a bit of the sweeter tracks off Transatlanticism. But I'm hoping the rest of the record is a bit more aggressive.

Holy shit. This movie was everything I've wanted from a Thor flick since I was 5. Some things I'd change, but seriously I think every ten minutes I was watching with my mouth hanging open in childish awe. Also love that they took so much from Jack Kirby's designs.

Tim Heald is leaving the band and being replaced by Skylar Sarkis who has been filling in for Ben while he's recovering. Story and statement from the band here.

I'll be there. A dude named Jeff Blank is there that night right? I saw him on Wednesday and he had a really funny set. It was a ton like Mitch Hedberge but it was pretty funny, still.

Yep Jeff will be on that show. Met him once at an open mic and I was really drunk but I remember his set being really funny. Say hello, I'll be the dude with the red beard.

I'm going to be on a stand up comedy show in Knoxville this Sunday at the Preservation Pub's new upstairs venue. The show is 3 dollars and there will be a couple of other comics there to make you laugh. I'm going to be filming my set for a "demo reel" of sorts, but since the show is out of town I'm limited to the number of people I can bring.

I know we used to have a pretty decent contingent from Knoxville and the surrounding area here. Hope to see some of you there.

Here's the Facebook event. https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167645406624316

So stoked. I adore this band.

woah, we have alot of stuff. make money, get paid loki

Wont get what I paid for it but I helped keep you and Aaron in sandwiches for awhile. Worth it.

I respect your game.
