Why is that first statement weird? "It's a bummer that people are only going for Full Collapse" is not a weird thing to say. And the evidence I'm talking about is the reports people are giving in this thread from the shows they've been to. It seems pretty clear that people are less enthused about anything not FC. What's your evidence to the contrary?
every week we find new ways to make the thursday discourse less interesting (& I am absolutely part of the problem to be clear)
The first statement was: "That rocks, but also such a bummer that everyone is still there for FC. Makes it harder to blame the band on coasting for it so much." That last sentence is absolutely weird, but it fits perfectly in this thread full of miserable people.
At the end of the day we all just wish their entire catalogue would be appreciated by their fanbase and thus get fairly represented in their sets
I don't post in here often and am not miserable. I'm happy the shows are good but I'm sure the band, like many artists often defined by a single album or two in the first half of their career, occasionally wishes their later releases picked up as much steam as FC did. I have never been more confident that something I posted was in fact very normal, lol.
i became a fan of thursday last year when they released that ep on new years. i think no dev is my favorite album of theirs, but they're all pretty swell. i'm excited to see them for the first time this weekend!
my gym shuffle "high school" playlist really had me on a City kick yesterday, got Lovesong Writer and Autumn Leaves and jesus man they're just art. the production of the whole thing is just so damn cool, like it shouldn't work for how saturated and complex the mixes are, but it totally does. anybody got any other album recs that are sonically similar? I was thinking Felix Culpa's Sever Your Roots but would love to know some others, especially if I've never heard them.
can't go wrong with pretty much anything Dave Fridmann has produced tbh. his work on Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots is generational. for a deep cut, he produced Neil Finn's Dizzy Heights which is just an insane album on many levels
Yea, stating that being disappointed that more live recognition isn't given to their albums that they barely play while FC gets something literally every year isn't being miserable, and you have an extremely fucked bar of miserable if you think THIS is the most miserable thread on the site because of that lol
That might be true, but out of all the bands threads that I visit regularly here on this site, this is definitely the most miserable. It's usually so that the band teases something and everyone gets super excited and then when they reveal it everyone is just bummed out and constantly complaining.
Waiting for Thursday to come on. Geoff is hanging out in the balcony and the amount of actual fetuses here that started screaming surprised me. Not judging cause I used to be one as well. But I keep asking myself which fans haven't heard these albums played in full yet cause they tour them so much and I think the answer is these young tiny fetuses who weren't born yet
Such is the life of a Thursday fan. We wait for new music. Mostly we get merch and anniversary tours. I promise you it's fun.
This is a 21+ show so technically they're not fetuses but I'm now the age where 21 year olds look 12 cause some of these kids look like middle schoolers wtf
My favorite thing is when bands play double sets like these and do an outfit change. I think it's legitimately hilarious. Loved it when death cab for cutie did it on the transatlanticism/postal service tour and found it funny when Geoff did it here too. And both artists did the same black/white motif change. Like yes get your pop girlie outfit change moment on.
I trust Aaron's opinion on pretty much everything (shout out horror thread!) so this made me second guess my Counting stance--admittedly haven't listened to it in years. I was wrong. It's great. That's all.
my venue didn't have a balcony so he started at the sound booth which was right in middle back of the floor. Stood on a road case to be higher and then walked to the stage.
