Honestly, I haven’t listened to the OG’s in a long time. Two Lefts doesn’t come off as too different, assuming the gold is what’s on Spotify. I always noticed the changes on Anatomy, but I never disliked it. It just took awhile for me to adjust from having heard the OG trillions of times.

 

Gold version? I don’t see any of that on Apple Music

 

On Spotify at least, they only version is the remaster (gold) but it didn't notate that, it's just presented as normal

 

It was an intentional decision to make the gold versions the only ones on streaming- they were both remixed/remastered by the same guys who did “mmhmm” to sound more like that album, sonically. Eventually the “gold” label was removed and only longtime fans realize they both have original mixes that are now only available via the old CD versions.

I liked what they did with the new versions - it brought out a lot of instrumentation that was buried in the original mixes. But I do miss the “raw” sound of the originals too.

I’m interested in SMLXL will ever release original mix vinyl versions.

 

2003.

Two Lefts ...

 

Fuck me. These anniversaries are just a new existential crisis for me.

 

I’m starting to look it. At least according to my kids.

 

I don't know if I should make a "nobody likes you when you're 23" joke or "amazing still it seems, I'll be 23" joke... Either way, can't believe it's been 2+ decades already

So many memories between this and Mmhmm. That was the best time being a fan in high school and devouring any music, tour, or news I could get. If only we could get some of that new music/tour news sigh...

 

i think “here at 23 it’s the same old me” would be the appropriate move here

 

Oh duh, how could I forget that?!

 

I’m not emotionally prepared to hit the 10 year mark for AFF.

 

Found this while moving around some stuff today. The original Two Lefts line-up.

 

Edit:

Podcast about a switchfoot song I guess


Matt Hoopes- "Wake up, Mr. Crow"

 

Is that not about a new Switchfoot single? Is there a part where they talk about new RK music too?

 

Ughhhhhhhhjhhhhhhhhhhhh

I saw it posted that it was an RK song, dammit

 

You got bamboozled, Steve. It's from Switchfoot's new album.

 

I hate it here

 

2028. Prove me wrong, Relient K.

 

2029 it is.

 

Stocking up on kleenex for when Air For Free hits the decade mark in July...

 

To anyone planning to watch How to Make a Killing (2026), get ready for a jaw-dropping moment around 45 minutes in: there's a Be My Escape needle drop for about three seconds.

 

I have given up on there ever being a new Relient K album. Anytime we hear about Matt T, it’s that he enjoys being basically retired. It is what it is.

 

Yet he keeps being persuaded to do 6-7 shows a year. I’d wager Hoopes’ busy life plays a bigger role in the lack of new RK music than we realize too.

 

I wonder with Bleach getting back together this year if they could get Relient K to do a few shows. They toured together before and RK did their farewell show. I think Davy did artwork on a few of their albums too

It’s been 10 years since I’ve seen them live, I’m more than ready
