I love it how a band like sonic youth warrants 6 replies, but any new taking back sunday info and the boards fuckin' light up. It's sad, the majority of our generation doesn't give a shit about any bands that exhibit real creativity, but shit their pants whenever a band releases a new album that sounds exactly like the two that fucking came before it. Blah. "Hey There Delilah" seems to have been such a slice of genius that it deserves its own fucking EP. I just find that slightly depressing.

Most dates are sold out already. I know Philly has been long sold out.
