Motion City Soundtrack - The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World (September 19, 2025) • Page 19

Another random indicator (from when I was too young to understand entirely) is that SA had some indie clout to tack on top of this scene, at least a little more than MCS at the time.

SA had a song or two in Scrubs, a lagging indicator of a broader audience knowing what their deal was, even if it was a less deep read than most of the average MCS fans

 

MCS had songs in movies

 

MCS and Say Anything did a co-headlining tour in 2010 and I believe they alternated on who closed.

 

The interesting thing is that Saves The Day opened this tour and then four years later, SA did a co-headliner with STD

 

God that last sentence sounds terrible when you only use their abbreviations

 

I wish I knew who was closing the Salt Lake show. It seems like its Say Anything, and if it is, I have no problem leaving early.

 

Do not add Jimmy Eat World to the equation

 

Was there a rumored second leg of this tour hitting the east coast? I remember reading it here. Need to see MCS again asap.

 

Yeah there's an east coast happening

 

Not around Max

 

yup — starts in my neck of the woods (FTL) in january

 

Say Anything is closing in SLC

 

I might have one extra ticket to the Chicago show tonight -- any takers? Paid $33; we'll have to walk in together

 

Well... darn... but at least I can get to bed early

 

I feel like Say Anything closing a show should be a win for this very reason

 

Report back on the post-MCS exodus

 

I don’t want to interrupt this important conversation about which mid-2000s pop punk band is nominally bigger, but I’m here at the MCS gig, and I am so stoked! Trying to convince myself not to buy a signed vinyl copy of the new record, since I already pre-ordered, but then again… I could listen tonight

 

Man, where’s my shipping notification for this album?

 

Hey, I willed it into existence! I got it a couple hours after this.


Also, Panic Stations is 10 today.

And Even If It Kills Me is 18!

 

This is pretty good. I really like Things Like This. As usual, I wish I hadn’t listened to the singles so many times since they make up the entire first half of the record.

 

Thats interesting. I dont know anyone in my fairly large cluster of friends that listened to Say Anything. And they all listened to MCS.

 

Yeah, I'm glad I only listened to most of them once.

 

Yay it's here!!

 

Mine should be delivered tomorrow! I think Glow On is the last preorder I received before or on release day.

 

"Things Like This" is probably my favourite after first listen. It feels great to have a new MCS album.
