Sad Heart

I’m really over $40 t shirts. I know they’re one of the best returns for bands, but god damn. 

I hope they do a bundle so I can just add one item to my cart and check out. Col variants. Hopefully they use a good source and they sound rad. 
 

* there will be bundles available. 

I’m going to the Jersey show on Saturday. Driving up, seeing the show, and driving back. Should be a fun time. 

Definitely grabbing this and the C-Clamp box.

For sure. Had this a long time ago and sold it. I’ll be happy to add it back to the collection. Hoping for Hot Damn, and Dirty soon.

That song has a bridge (the “don’t panic” section). Unless you’re using bridge in the old pre-chorus sense, in which case… it has that too. Does it twice before it gets to the first chorus. (Though I’ll say the ending is a little abrupt. Could have probably used a little tag / outro at the end.)

 

I’ve been kinda surprised by the intenseness of the negativity to these. They’re the only songs of theirs I’ve been able to listen to more than once (if even in full) since American Idiot (and that was even only some songs).  🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t mind them…

I think there is one good album's worth between Uno / Dos / Tre. 21st is awful, as is RR, and FoA. But 'Look Ma' is the first catchy song in the last ten years I've liked. 

Definitely better than the other song.

I just got the standard press a few months ago after waiting a good while for it to be under $25 shipped. Would grab the deluxe if I didn't just get the standard. Glad they repressed this though. It took me too long to get a copy after selling my blue variant a long time ago.

Anyone else going to the showcase in Austin tonight?

How was it? Bet it was amazing. 

Back in for the Vault, and also pulled the trigger on the UHQR 2xLP 45 of Elephant after listening / reading a ton of good reviews. Will be a fun weekend of listening to that when it gets in.

Ordered. Not amazed by the single, but I’ll cancel later if I don’t like the next single or two. 

Fuck it. I canceled. Given I haven’t liked anything in almost 20 years of theirs I’m just gonna stream if I like it. Especially if they have more box sets for older stuff if the works I’d rather my money go towards that.

Dancer single kicks ass. I love that these guys can write an upbeat song but still make it aggressive as hell. 

They never miss.

I'm assuming the song is about the ETID drama and breakup. it was pretty meh on first listen.

According to an interview with Keith it is not.

Face value tix before fees here is 48 bucks. Ridiculous

Must be your venue. Mine was $36. 

Got mine. A little disappointed it turned into a starburst opposed to a tri-stripe like the previews. Even shows the tri on the order sheet inside the mailer. I usually don’t care about variant changes, but I really don’t like starburst, and really like tri’s, but on top of delays and the price, sigh. Oh well.

They both have their own qualities.

Funny enough, a friend reached out today asking if I still wrote & kept up with my records blog, and prompted me to revisit a few old posts. One of which was about the Spiderland remaster.

Great write up, Juan. Might have to grab a remaster. I just have the original mix (2004 pressing). 

Digging the song. Nothing ground breaking, but always dig Keith’s vocals so I’m for it. Interested to hear how this album turns out.

We haven’t even heard a song from Many Eyes yet! 

Thursday and Rival Schools are what I'm talking about. Many Eyes is hopefully a great bonus.
