The Sleeping...I missed them on the Nintendo Fusion Tour because of my friends (along with the Plain White T's and half of Emery's set :\), so I bought a shirt and their new CD to try and make up for it. And on that note, everyone that doesn't already listen to Emery or Relient K really should. Both amazing bands.

seriously.

and its too bad everyone on this site is gonna be all worried about the brand new album in november, because swan lake will blow it away, and no one will even know about it because theyll be too busy making fun of pitchfork for giving bad reviews to (bad) bands they like.

Tony, great call on The Damnwells. They are so good. I guess they would fit in that Alt-Country style, which is some of my fav. stuff.

Also I didnt know they had a new album out, thanks for the heads up

Here are our staff recs for the week.[/URL]
Paul: Seeing [URL="http://www.absolutepunk.net/somethingcorporate"]Something Corporate (http://www.myspace.com/ofmontreal) live like I did last night (I'm a bitch, I know)

i'm sending waves of dislike in your general direction from far far away in new jersey. just so you know.

I've been on a big Say Anything kick recently, also listening to a lot of Straylight Run 'cause they are playing at my school in a couple weeks. I also recently remembered how awesome Anberlin is. So I guess those are my recs for the week.

relevanceof27

10/15/06, 01:56 PM

The new Matches album is superb. Took me by surprise, for sure. Also I've been jamming Jurassic 5, Ever We Fall, Augustana, NFG, Say Anything, Andrew W.K.

I get bored as a courier.

I'll take a stab at answering this - Jack's Mannequin and William Tell performed on the same day at Bamboozle Left and, as posted by "a little birdie" (also known as Jason Tate, I believe), it was wise to wait around after Jack's Mannequin's peformance for something special. That's what they got.
