Yeah, everyone seems to dig Mexican Guitars. I don't skip a single song on that album, and I do enjoy the song, but it's just low on my OTIP list.
I think this is the first post of yours I have read and disagreed with. Casey is the best song they ever wrote in my opinion. That said, it's a testament to their talent that we can say this and both love the band.
The last song is the only one I'm not in love with. I find the "L-L-L-Lobby" and "C-C-C-Coffee" part a bit jarring and irritating to be honest.
Your Wild Years has me totally hooked today. Loving seeing people in more high profile bands tweeting about this, the lead singer of Deaf Havana tweeted the "Irish/Polish/Boston" lines yesterday,
Thick as thieves... on our knees... with an ocean in-between. That keeps looping in my mind and it isn't even my favorite song on the record...
Saw them last night, was awesome. Mid-sized pub venue in Melbourne, cheap beer and mexican food. Perfect setting for this band. Opened with Lookers, straight into I Don't Wanna Be Asshole Anymore, then a straight run of cuts from OTIP. Bad Catholics was in there, The Bars, Thick As Thieves, Tellin' Lies, Timetables, plus a few more. They encore'd with a cover (forgot which one sorry, was pretty drunk), and closed with I Can't Seem To Tell and In Remission. Loved every second.
Timetables is such a barn burner, would love to hear that if I ever got to see 'em live. Same with Chamberlain Waits. Side note: It always kinda annoyed me that the song and album are called Chamberlain Waits even though he sings "Chamberlain's waiting" every time. Including when "Chamberlain waits" would have rhymed easier.
Insane night for concerts in STL. For me, it's easy. I like the Menzingers more, so I would go there. Microwave is an added bonus. That said, On Letting Go is a fantastic record. Really glad I don't have to make that decision. Going to both is the preferred outcome haha.
OLG is my fav circa record and they're one of my fav bands so that's where I woulda gone even tho I've seen them so many times and menzingers only twice...thankfully I moved to philly on time and caught the circa tour here and the menzingers show is at the end of march. I feel bad for my older brother tho he loves menzingers and circa both a whole lot so idk what he's gonna do
I don't understand how people don't like House on Fire. WAAAAAAAITING FOR YOURRRR LIFE TO START THEN YOU DIIIIEEEE, WOAH is one of the catchiest choruses on the album
Microwave on this show is so cool. Would love that. I really want The Sidekicks to play the Cleveland show
I mean obviously people are allowed to dislike Casey but I think it's amazing. But I also had a 4 year relationship with a waitress who smoked cigarettes and with whom I would drink and clean the house with, so thematically it murdered my soul in a good way. Also this acoustic video is crack for me. Greg sounds totes dreamy.
