Well, even so, if we have 20 or so people I think it could be fun. There's always been a lot of discussion about rankings here and plenty of different opinions on what's best. Plus, screw twitter.
Been giving The Big Dirty (mostly the back half after starting at Werewolf) a lot of spins lately as I've been running. Such a good fuckin record. Been scouring the deepest parts of the internet for a simple black ETID logo shirt to cut and turn into a back patch for my jacket and I can't find shit.
Happy people are for it. Gonna try to wait a bit and find out tentative plans for other brackets/wait for at least RK/LP's championship rounds so there aren't too many going at once. Spread the word too if ya like.
I, for one, am mildly annoyed that there is almost zero footage of their double set in Santa Ana. It will have to live on in tall tales and rumors.
Fuckin nice, I get sprinkled in that video every so often because for like the 90% the camera is on the left side of the stage near that pillar with the stairs I'm like literally right behind the camera. And then I show up right at the end right next to Keith during Indian Giver when everyone is on stage. Cool cool video.
Couldn't agree more I was super bummed to see they played INRIHab on this recent TBS tour, just because the Atlanta show was the same day as my girlfriends birthday and I couldn't skip that, and I'm all for bands playing random deep cuts that aren't singles Cities And Years, Depressionista, Rebel Without Applause are all songs I'll never get to see the light of day.
Saw them play it live at Bamboozle 2008 after The Receiving End of Sirens played their final set. That song absolutely destroys live. My friends and I were front row, and waves of crowd surfers came over us during that song and "Floater". Thinking back on it, that was a great string of sets we saw that day. Fall of Troy, Envy on the Coast, TREOS and capped it off with ETID. Fuck haha
I think The Big Dirty is the best of their first 4 albums and Ex Lives is the best of their last 4 albums. I split them that way because NJA was when they made the jump to Epitaph. imo
Hot Damn is my fav of those first 4 probably, it was so ahead of its time that even now it still sounds fresh and interesting. Low Teens is my favorite of the newer batch.
I remember when I first heard them. It was Epitah's Sampler with VA, 2009. The Marvelous Slut was amazing. And still is amazing!
My first exposure to them was my brother and his friends went and saw them with As I Lay Dying in Dallas. They came back and were going on and on and on about how amazing they were, that Hot Damn! had just came out, etc... I heard She's My Rushmore and it was over right then, right there.
