mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 145

Hey, I went to Texas public schools, give me a break!!!

 

Settle down, Oliver.

 

It just occurred to me that "Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt" and "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore" are structurally almost exactly the same song.

 

What a twist!

 

Beautiful minds think alike :)

 

haha oh man, you beat me to it. Nicely done.

 

The wailing of the guitars in Cities of the Plain undo me.

 

I’m glad we both caught it!

 

i just cracked 300 total track plays from the LP. 700 is pretty crazy considering how recently it came out. i guess to put that into perspective, i've been scrobbling since 2005 and my most listened to album of all time has 1700 plays

 

Aw, you have to pay $3 a month now to get historical data on Last.FM? Bummer.

 

still haven't been able to find a decent live video of wendy and betsy which kind of boggles my mind.

 

ppl too busy rocking out i assume

 

From Reddit:

"I thought there was a Teletubbies reference on [Untitled], which made sense to me, because Aaron is a relatively new father. The "Tinky's harp on the wall" lyric in Flee, Thou Matadors! . . . and if you search "Tinky harp" you are rewarded with videos of Teletubbies with a harp.

But today, I noticed a Tinky Timmons thanked in the [Untitled] liner notes. A quick search later, I learned she is a therapeutic harpist.

Introduction to/interview with Tinky Timmons on YT

She seems like a wonderful person.

It's possible it is also a Teletubbies reference, lol, but apparently this is the primary Tinky to whom the harp belongs."

 

oh huh i love that explanation

 

I kind of wished it were a Teletubbies reference.

After finally digging into this album a bit, I agree with the overwhelming sentiment that it's really good.

 

This and Coheed are kind of my 1a and 1b right now. This is easily my favorite release I went into with no expectations. I have so much bias with Coheed that it's hard to be unbiased when ranking albums the year they put one out.

 

I am craving the liner notes. January...
