Ryan talked about it in a podcast, forgot which one maybe that Stryker interview?, and the basics were the label was all set to push it, head of radio or something said he thought it was the best radio single they had in years ... I'm going off memory ... and then the label basically fired everyone that was working that release.

 

promotion for PW was completely bungled by changes within capitol at the time..if i have my lore correct lol

edit: gonna go ahead and defer to jason and obv WRK on this one, ha

 

Could have been huge

 

We can still make it huge. There’s still time.

 

Also, Afraid and You and Me and One Spotlight could easily have been singles too.

 

guess it's time for a paper walls re-listen, again

 

You and Me —> Cut Me, Mick —> Paper Walls goes nearly gapless and is one of their best 3-song sequences IMO

 

just do a few dumb dance moves to 5 seconds of it on TikTok and go viral, that's all you need these days

 

I know it’s been said a million times but I’d love a paper walls repress

 

A giant hole in my collection

 

I may be late to this but is there any “official” explanation about LP not being on YC anymore? The more I listen to “old” albums the more I find his drumming a key part of their sound.

Sorry if this has been already discussed.

 

You have no idea how many times this has been discussed to death! There was never an official reason given, they had their differences and the band decided to make a change both in the best interest of LP and themselves. Other than the insane people of Reddit, the rest of the YC community has been pretty good about respecting their privacy and understanding that as fans we don’t need to be privy to the details. That’s all i’ve got.

 

very well written.

 

Thanks man, and sorry for bringing it up again haha.

 

It was a decade ago no harm in asking for a refresher!

 

No apology needed, I feel like most people that ask about it are genuinely curious!

 

Yeah, Im not a hardcore YC fan so I’ve missed a lot of stuff over the years. I have a lot of questions about the TBS line up too but I’m afraid to ask lol.

 

Going to do a discography run in anticipation of all the upcoming news. Starting with self-titled. This record deserves more love.

 

Starting a discography run with the last full length album in their discography is diabolical LOL

 

Hell yeah

 

Yeah, I love this record. A great finale at a time where we thought it really was. You can definitely feel the weight of circumstances surrounding it. This album feels like two friends meeting up at a bar for a late-night drink after an exhausting week. A worthy addition to the discography. Glad it wasn’t the end.

 

With Ryan confirming that new music would be out before their tour dates internationally (which begins 4/2), I would have to think that some news is coming next week on all of this

 

The self-titled is still my favorite album. Seeing the extended version of "The Hurt is Gone" live in Seattle, my favorite YC song, was surreal. @williamryankey please record that someday, even if it's just a live recording! I was mesmerized.

 

Listened to the Childhood Eyes EP next in my randomized discography listen thru. Hiding In The Light is just showing off. Ridiculous addition to the library 20 years in.

 

For me it's all about the influencer anthem Honest From The Jump, such a huge chorus
