Good on them for giving Kurt a shoutout for using his home videos in their video without his knowledge haha.
So listened to Chase This Light for the first time in a while. I liked it more than I remember. At the time, coming off of Futures, it seemed super glossy while not being as rich/deep as Futures and Clarity while still not being AS immediate as Bleed American. Of course, given their professionalism it still pretty much swiped the floor with a lot of similar albums at the time but I still was more into Invented and Damage when they came out.
I think the second verse of Big Casino is one of Jim’s best lyrical moments. (And there’s some stiff competition there.)
Finally got to Surviving. It was my first full listen to it (though I’ve definitely heard some of these songs before and live). It’s a pretty solid record! Congratulations is a hell of a closer. It feels like they wanted to make another banger like Pass The Baby.
No endorsement of gluttony here, but there's no better named band for today's feast than these lads. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
Threw on my Chase This Light vinyl prepping for thanksgiving today. Probably the best sounding vinyl I own.
Some of the other Halifax shows that leaked like David Byrne haven't been announced yet so still hopeful!
Jimmy Eat World r definitely doing the UK outdoor headline summer shows circuit next year, according to this teaser it's Piece Hall in Halifax, Cardiff Castle and Gunnersbury Park in London all in August and next year will be the 25th anniversary of the release for Bleed American!!
25 years? Feels older than that haha. I always forget Bleed American didn't come out in the late 90's.
Same! I've never been to a gig there but have been for shopping. Looks like a really cool place to watch live music.
Announcement tomorrow morning https://www.instagram.com/stories/j...rce=ig_story_item_share&igsh=MXppeWF6NmkxZ3pu
Anyone think there's a realistic chance Integrity Blues will get some 10th birthday love next year? Obviously it's competing with Bleed so the latter will get more attention, of the two.
