Bad Astronaut

[CellarGhosts]

...Were fucking amazing. Joey Cape is pretty much a genius, if I may be so bold.

So, discuss away...

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Sadly, I never got in to them. :shrug:

But the songs I've heard were great.

[TheOtherAndrew]

You have great taste in music by the way.

Really good band. Get any one of their albums, they're all killer haha.

Indeed. When I heard the song "the 'F' Word", I almost shat my guts out hahaha. I sometimes wish I could sing like Joey does in that low register.

And thanks, man, hahaha. I guess I do. You've got great taste in music as well haha.

:bow:

Yeah I'm completely in love with that album. I can't even pick a favorite song. Its just amazing. I can't wait until Joey releases that new project he just started.

[CellarGhosts]

Oh yeah, definatley haha. I just read about it this morning in that one thread. It should be incredible.

[CellarGhosts]

Rebellious, reformed then upright
It's cold in Adelaide tonight
These streets are bright
Hotel bound in the small bus
My first whiskey in two years plus
It can't mask the weird vibe
This Sunday night
Passing red cars head to light

rockthafuckoutbrah:headbang:

I couldn't get into that song at first, but I came around. When the bridge ends and it kicks in with the two electric guitars and Joey goes "The stories read of hospitals and alcohol, and empty households...", that moment is just unbelievable.

[CellarGhosts]

Indeed it is. It's so incredible how when you listen to both this album, and Lagwagon's "Resolve", you can hear every little bit of emotion in Joey's voice, and the whole music overall. I think that the man's true potential/genius came out, sadly, through tragedy, in the form of Derrick's suicide.

Yeah its really sad. I think it had alot to do with Derrick being depressed and also dealing with being gay, which I had no idea that he was until recently. But yeah especially on The Thirteenth Step, Joey just sounds so fucking sad on that.

Its really too bad Derrick had to go, he was a great drummer.

[Wobbie]

In case anyone doesn't know, new band from Joey Cape and Todd Capps (who was in BA as well)

It's pretty much the new BA, since that has ended.

Joey's voice in 'Canoe' is so beautiful.

Yeah that's the one.

I really hope a CD gets released ASAP. Bad Astronaut ended too soon.

[Wobbie]

Yeah that's the one.

I really hope a CD gets released ASAP. Bad Astronaut ended too soon.

Yeah, me too. Their myspace says they don't even have a label for it yet.

And Bad Astronaut's cover of Megan > Bayside's cover of Megan (Even though that one is nice)

[CellarGhosts]

Sad indeed. And until now, I had no idea he was gay, actually. I did know he was depressed, and bi-polar...but anyway, bummer of a topic, so let's get back to discussing amazing music. It makes for much happier conversation haha.

But yeah, Derrick was a great drummer...and on that song, Joey does sound incredibly emotional.

I quite like both versions, actually. So it'd kinda hard for me to decide on that one haha.

[capnhook54]

I heard them on the himynameismark podcast, but I only heard that one song. It was pretty good.

They are kind of a slow, acoustic band, am I right?

[Wobbie]

I heard them on the himynameismark podcast, but I only heard that one song. It was pretty good.

They are kind of a slow, acoustic band, am I right?

They were a side project featuring Joey Cape from Lagwagon. Not all acoustic. Most of their songs have electric guitars, and are upbeat. But yeah, they still do have some acoustic tracks. I'd just say a softer side compared to Lagwagon though. But no, not an acoustic band. More straight up rock like The Foo Fighters.

[bradyreier]

Never listened.

not at all. Minus is slow and acoustic but alot of their stuff is very energetic.

[SteveLikesMusic]

Fuck yea. Amazing band. Awesome trilogy of records they put out. The new band sounds equally incredible.

[CellarGhosts]

Indeed it does haha

[CellarGhosts]

jimmy bump world

[CellarGhosts]

do I have to bump this again? I guess so...

[AP_Punk]

Great band.

And I like their cover of "Linoleum" (NOFX).

[CellarGhosts]

Indeed they are (were) great haha.

Hmmm...I don't recall hearing their version of that one. But it's one of my favorite NOFX tunes, so I'll have to check it out.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Joey Cape's solo record that he did (split with Joey Cape) is amazing. It has a version of Violet without the drums and with an extra verse too, that for some reason was cut out of the Bad Astronaut version. I have no idea why.

Foo Fighters? I'll definately have to check these guys out now!

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, yes you will. If you have any sort of music downloading program (iTunes, etc), download the song "the F Word" and prepare to shit yourself hahaha.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Better yet, The 'F' Word is up for free download at Fat Wreck Chords' website.
http://www.fatwreck.com/audio_track/the_audio_file/186/Bad_Astronaut_The__F__Word.mp3

As is Autocare.

I was trying to remember where I heard it from, then I realized it was an AP.net exclusive (http://www.absolutepunk.net/artists/showlink.php?do=showdetails&l=3483), haha.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, I see....

And I just got done listening to the song "Minus" for about the tenth time haha....that song gives me goosebumps every time. Wow.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Haha, I see....

Its not only an incredibly good song, but it also makes me hate the concept of YouTube for allowing anyone to do something like this:

[clace]

mmm Joey Cape

if you like him, the split with Tony Sly is ace.

[TheOtherAndrew]

The acoustic Move The Car is unfreakingbelievable.

[CellarGhosts]

Oh, see, I have dial-up, so I can't load that, or see what it is. (well, I could, but it'd take hours. ugh)...anyway...care to explain to me? haha thanks. If it's someone butchering the song, then shits on them hahaha.

It is indeed, some asian kid with a quarter of a moustache completely destroying the song. You can tell he didn't tune his guitar and didn't even know the words. I left him a really mean comment too. Its probably for the better you can't see it.

Well hell with that, haha. Wow...not only is that disrespectful to Bad Astronaut/Joey Cape, but its also incredibly disrespectful to Derrick. Legal action of some kind should be taken haha.

He deserves the mean comment you left him, though haha. I'm glad now that I can't load it.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah. What pisses me off even more is that its one of like 5 clips on YouTube that have anything to do with BA (the only authentic one being their video for The Passenger). Stupid YouTubers.

[CellarGhosts]

*pssh* yeah, I know...even though I cant watch all that stuff here, due to dial-up, like I said, Ive still used the site at friends houses, etc, and alot of the stuff on there is stupid as hell haha.

[CellarGhosts]

well, everyone im tired as hell now, so im off. see you all tomorrow.

[TheOtherAndrew]

laterz

[Wobbie]

I have their studio "cover" of Lagwagon's The Worst if anyone wants it. And i also have an mp3 of Linoleum, so you don't have to stream it.

(raises hand for The Worst)

[Wobbie]

I'll upload it right now then :-)

[TheOtherAndrew]

I'll upload it right now then :-)
Many thanks. I heard Joey talk about this version somewhere but I could never find it.

[Wobbie]

I'm having trouble getting it up. (Okay, that sounded normal in theory). The internet just kind of stops working when i try and upload, and i have to restart my computer to get it back up. I might have to do it another way. Either way, i'll get it uploaded.

[TheOtherAndrew]

It's cool, take your time.

[Wobbie]

I found another site that didn't crash my internet connection :-) And it uploaded it as a direct link too.

http://minorcrisis.net/files/TheWorst.mp3

[TheOtherAndrew]

:woot:

Muchos gracias

[TheOtherAndrew]

Wow I like this much better than the Lagwagon version. Cool stuff.

[Wobbie]

Ningunos problemas!

[Wobbie]

Yeah, i like it's mellowness. In the Lagwagon version, Joey sounds so sad! (And justifiably so) but i get a little teary eyed when i listen to the Lagwagon version, even though it's not a ballad, haha. The tone in his voice kills me. He dosn't sound as depressed in this version.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah I did notice that. I just like the laid backness of Bad Astronaut better as opposed to the million-miles per minute that the Lagwagon version has. Plus they probably recorded the BA version before Derrick died.

[Wobbie]

Wow, i didn't even know that it was written as a Bad Astronaut song, and the Bad Astronaut version was the original. That's awesome. I guess it took on a new meaning after Derrick died, and that's why Lagwagon recorded it, and why Joey sounds depressed as hell on that version.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah I'm not quite sure why it wasn't released as a Bad Astronaut song. Maybe it was going to go on Twelve Small Steps but Joey just thought it worked better with the Lagwagon arrangement? :shrug:

[mybreakingpoint]

i fucking adored this band :-(

the new project, i can't recall the name right now, is ace too though

[CellarGhosts]

Dude, I actually got a little teary-eyed listening to both versions, hahaha. But yeah, the Lagwagon version is more depressing than the BA version. Not too sure which one I like better...I'd have to say the BA version, I guess. But it's a tough call.

Yeah I did notice that. I just like the laid backness of Bad Astronaut better as opposed to the million-miles per minute that the Lagwagon version has. Plus they probably recorded the BA version before Derrick died.
Yeah, they probably did. And like I said, I like this version a bit better...the laid-back vibe is a litle more suited to the song.

i fucking adored this band :-(

the new project, i can't recall the name right now, is ace too though
As did I...

And I haven't heard the new project, but with Joey Cape at the helm, what could co wrong? haha

[mybreakingpoint]

hahha seriously

i think it's called afterburner

they have 4 songs up

i listened to each one 6 times and i'm beyond in love haha

there was a news post about them a few days ago i believe

http://myspace.com/afterburnermusic

[CellarGhosts]

haha, yep.
Thanks for posting that, by the way.

I'd say that Joey is definatley one of my favorite singers...not just out of punk, but anything, really, haha.

[mybreakingpoint]

one of my favorites too

that split with Tony Sly was one of the best things ever hahaha

i love both of those men with a passion

neither can do wrong

[CellarGhosts]

I actually haven't heard that split yet...but I need to, haha.

[mybreakingpoint]

it's out of this world, no joke

put it at the fucking top of your shit to buy list

[Wobbie]

I actually haven't heard that split yet...but I need to, haha.
Yeah, no joke. Like Nathan said, it's an absolutely amazing split album.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah, no joke. Like Nathan said, it's an absolutely amazing split album.
Joey's songs > Tony's songs though.

[CellarGhosts]

Cool, guys. I'll definatley check that one out.

[notoaststereo]

i recently got into them. i enjoy them very much.

[SteveLikesMusic]

I'm having trouble getting it up. (Okay, that sounded normal in theory).

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Listening to Afterburner right now...damn I can't wait for a release.

[CellarGhosts]

Hahahaha, yeah I lol'd at that as well, haha. I have yet to listen to Afterburner, but I suspect it'll be amazing.

[mybreakingpoint]

someone should rip those Afterburner tracks for me (us) :-) haha

[CellarGhosts]

^^^^ what he said

[TheOtherAndrew]

done.

PM me for them.

Edit: Actually I think since the songs haven't been released and there are no plans to release them its fair game for me to post the link here. I'll post it as soon as I have them uploaded.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Enjoy.

(Click the picture for those of you who are dumb)

[CellarGhosts]

Thanks, man. I'll try and download those, even though it'll take awhile with dial-up, haha.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Wow after listening to this yesterday, I'm not disappointed at all. Amazing.

[dildonicsboy]

I just read the first page, and I must say that Bad Astronaut is indeed awesome. I just got into them late last year after their last album. It is one of the most unappreciated albums of 2006 IMO. I'm not even much of a Lagwagon fan, but Joey has a great voice to go along with the type's of instrumentals of Bad Astronaut.

Also has anyone heard Bad Astronaut's cover of Linoleum. That out does the original by far. It might still be on their myspace, or at least it used to be up for a download.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah its still on their MySpace, and actually that was the song that got me into Bad Astronaut in the first place. I was completely blown away with what they did with Linoleum, I was so used to hearing NOFX do it as fast as possible and here it is being covered using a fucking banjo! Crazy.

Also I just realized that when I ripped the song I ripped it in mono by mistake. Does anybody have it in stereo? I'd really appreciate it.

[Wobbie]

Joey's songs > Tony's songs though.
True. Tony's are acoustic versions of NUFAN songs. Joey's are acoustic reworkings of Lagwagon songs. I remember listening to it for the first time, and thinking Tony's songs were awesome! Then i got to the second half and was completely blown away.

I have a good quality mp3 of it. Not ripped, but the actual source file. So yeah, i'll upload it for you. I can't upload it until tomorrow though.

[decom_poseur]

Wobbie if you could hook me up with that Linoleum cover as well, I will let you see me naked. :suave:

Yeah, I know what you mean. I still think Tony's half is good, but Joey's songs just blew me the fuck away. And the Afterburner songs I uploaded really expand upon the songs on the split and on Bad Astronaut.

[Wobbie]

Here you go guys.

Bad Astronaut - Linoleum
http://minorcrisis.net/files/Linoleum%5B1%5D.mp3

[Wobbie]

And the Afterburner songs I uploaded really expand upon the songs on the split and on Bad Astronaut.
Yeah, definitely. You can hear the new influences on each new release from any of his side projects.

[Wobbie]

Wobbie if you could hook me up with that Linoleum cover as well, I will let you see me naked. :suave:
A promise is a promise dude :-p

[decom_poseur]

hahaha it might be more of a punishment than a reward!

[CellarGhosts]

bump.

[CellarGhosts]

no brakes for my mistakes....

great tune.

[CellarGhosts]

does anyone have the BA cover of "Linoleum" they could upload for me?

mucho thanks :-)

[meliisssaaaa]

i want to see them so baddddd

[CellarGhosts]

well, I think we all feel the same way....but alas, they've broken up. In fact, theyve been broken up for a while now. :-(

oh well...

[AP_Punk]

I can upload that "Linoleum" cover later on, Chris. :nod:

[absolutecrunk]

Whoa, I'm a little late but I would dig the Linoleum cover as well. Man, I never see NOFX get talked about on this site. Even if it isn't talk about their version.

[CellarGhosts]

I can upload that "Linoleum" cover later on, Chris. :nod:

thanks, Kirbie.

[Dr. Acula]

I have yet to check this out. I should get on that.

[CellarGhosts]

You need to get on that indeed haha.

I suggest getting 12 Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment, as it's their best, imo.
but their other two are great as well.

[CellarGhosts]

...unless by "this" you meant the Linoleum cover, haha. so If I'm reccomending you check out a band youve already heard, then never mind haha.

[xvszero]

I loved their first album but the second was kind of disappointing to me, too many slow jams and not even punk rock influenced stuff.

Is the new one more like the first or second?

[SteveLikesMusic]

^
2nd.

I love all 3 albums equally.

[CellarGhosts]

I loved their first album but the second was kind of disappointing to me, too many slow jams and not even punk rock influenced stuff.

Slow jams? and "not even punk rock influcenced stuff"?
The song "Single" off of that album was more or less punk-influenced, and idk what you really mean by slow jams. That just seems like a pretty shallow way of looking at an album, imo...

and their last one is closer to their 2nd than the 1st. and its def their best, though all 3 are great.

[TheOtherAndrew]

12 Small Steps > Houston We Have Issues Related To the Consumption of Alcohol >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Acrophobe

Bad Astronaut - "Linoleum (NOFX cover)" (http://www.mediafire.com/?46gig1tma5o)

Anyone know where this originally came from, anyway?

awesomeness, thanks Kirbie!

I mean more like Grey Suits and Logan's Run and 500 Miles which were pretty fast-paced with punk rock-ish drumming/guitars, not much on the second album like that. Really the only song I ever listened to much on the second album was Break Your Frame.

[AP_Punk]

Fan site with a few more rare Bad Astronaut stuff. (http://users.pandora.be/sadastronaut/wwwroot/)

hmmm

yeah, I guess I see what you mean. I just think that their slower, more indie-rock sound is better than their older songs like that, by far, but to each their own. and Break Your Frame is ace, haha. great song. Though my favorite song on Houston We Have A Drinking Problem might be Our Greatest Year...idk for sure.

Angus Cooke (cellist/guitarist for BA) was one of the producers for my band's upcoming full length. He is one badass motherfucker; and so is Bad Astronaut.

:thumbup:

[CellarGhosts]

Oh wow, that is pretty awesome.

[TheOtherAndrew]

bump.

BA's cover of Needle in the Hay is such greatness.

[CellarGhosts]

holy sweet bump, Andrew!

yes, yes it is. hell, everything they ever did was greatness. "500 Miles" and "Grey Suits/Quiet" off of that album are awesome too.

[AP_Punk]

Awesome bump!

[CellarGhosts]

Joey Cape is god.

Acrophobe definitely has its moments (those three being some of them). It really pales in comparison to Houston and the mighty 12 Small Steps though.

[JimGray]

12 Small Steps made me cry.

[TheOtherAndrew]

12 Small Steps made me cry.
Pussy!

Me too

Especially while listening to it in the winter, on really gray days. God, that was so depressing.

[JimGray]

Exactly, just so melancholy.

I didn't like ball, I just got mad choked up.

[TheOtherAndrew]

San Francisco Serenade might be the greatest song Joey Cape has ever done. No lie.

[JimGray]

Its true, I mean, he has contributed so much to pop-punk, but he just worked, yknow.

[CellarGhosts]

:bow:

It's defintiely a good album, and I think that if Houston and Steps hadn't been so amazing, it'd be alot better. but like you said, they went and made one awesome album (Houston) and one incredible album (Steps) and yeah...that's that.

amazing song. not sure I'd say his best but it's without a doubt really high up there.

Exactly, just so melancholy.

Same here, man. "Minus" still gives me chills like mad whenever I listen to it.

[AP_Punk]

Can't wait till I get my CDs back so I can listen to these some BA.

Ahhhhh!!

[CellarGhosts]

Go Kirbstomp whoever has them and reclaim your musiks!!!!

[AP_Punk]

Go west, young man!

- A-F

[TheOtherAndrew]

a BA b-sides album would be cool, with all the shit that got cut from the three albums. and linoleum. plz, Mr. Cape?

[AP_Punk]

Hi Joey Cape :wave:

(assuming he's lurking this thread)

[TheOtherAndrew]

:moon:

[CellarGhosts]

Yes, please. BA b-sides would be nice.

Minus was the first song I heard by them.

[CellarGhosts]

Mine was Catherine Morgan.

[JimGray]

I lied, I just remembered that i heard them once on an Atticus Comp, and was like, "Dude, is this an acoustic Lagwagon song?"

I felt like such a tool.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, yeah, that was "Catherine Morgan", on the atticus comp. I sadly didn't get into them much though until I downloaded Minus off of the Fat Wreck Chords website, loved it, decided to buy 12 Small Steps, did, had an orgasm over it, etc, the rest is history haha.

[JimGray]

I bet they would love to know that you spontaneously COMEbusted over there album Chris.

Fucking love it.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, I see what ya did thur.

Seriously though, it's so good. I can't get over it haha. Joey Cape has choked me up on numerous occasions now, with the majority of Lagwagon's "Resolve", a few songs on "12 Small Steps" and then one of those Afterburner songs. I forget what it's called though.

[JimGray]

The only Lagwagon song I can't stand, is automatic.

[CellarGhosts]

The only Lagwagon song I can't stand, is automatic.

pft, that song is fucking awesome.

[JimGray]

pft, that song is fucking awesome.

What is pft?

lol

Automatic is terrible.

Its buttrock.

[CellarGhosts]

Not at all. you just called a heartfelt tribute to a guy who committed suicide "buttrock". I hope you're happy. ;-)

and "pft" is a dismissive remark haha.

[TheOtherAndrew]

I just submitted a review for Twelve Small Steps, hooray!

[Genuma]

I just changed my avatar to Twelve Small Steps! OSHIT

[TheOtherAndrew]

:fuck:

[CellarGhosts]

review for 12 Small Steps!?

I wanted to do that. :-(

oh well, it's okay. you're a far better reviwer than I am anyways.

Do one for Houston We Have a Drinking Problem! You're more into that album than I is.

And you're a perfectly good reviewer. :-)

[CellarGhosts]

Haha awesome.

Thanks! :-)

[Chris Fallon]

Andrew's review is quite good :-)

Chris, I recommend you post one, as well. Love for the Caper is always something I enjoy - he's groovy.

[KidCompulsive]

Not at all. you just called a heartfelt tribute to a guy who committed suicide "buttrock". I hope you're happy. ;-)

RIP Derrick

Hopefully Andrew's review inspires some more people to check them out.

Stuck inside an interval
New is unattainable

[CellarGhosts]

:headbang:

man...by that song, I was already in love with that album haha.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Same. That was probably the first BA song I LOVED.

[CellarGhosts]

Oh I loved "Good Morning Night" a lot right off the bat, I had this big, stupid smile on my face the first time I ever listened to it haha. It was just one of those songs that did that to me. same goes for TLA's "Quincentuple Your Money".

[TheOtherAndrew]

Ghostwrite was actually the first song from that album I listened to (I liked the title). I do that for a lot of albums, I'm weird.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha I see. I do like the title too, so I understand.

But man, I think this might be my second favorite album of all time right behind GSET. I just never get tired of it, and every time I listen it still sounds fresh and new.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Its definitely up there for me too. Second favorite of all time? Eh. Maybe. But its definitely up there.

[CellarGhosts]

[CellarGhosts]

Hahaha, +100 points for Andrew for converting another person, and +100 points for you for liking them so much.

:-)

[versus_god]

Today I finished what we started
Today I thought you might be proud
We have recorded your defeat
An album always incomplete

Gives me chills.

[CellarGhosts]

Oh man, that song kills me every time. :bluesad:

[Chris Fallon]

Needle in the haaaaaaaaaaayyy.....

Oh, Joseph Cape ... God bless you

And yes, I know that song is a cover but it was in my head

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, I hear ya, Chris #1. I actually like that version more than the original! :-0

[Billy Da Mute]

houston we have a drinking problem is such a fucking legit cd. anyone know if joeys puttin out more shit as bad astronaut or anything?

[CellarGhosts]

he has a solo album coming out in October.

that's about all there is as far as his non-Lagwagon/Me First and the Gimme Gimmes projects go.

[Billy Da Mute]

awesome cant wait to hear that

[CellarGhosts]

yup, it should be amazing. the man's such a great songwriter/singer.

[Chris Fallon]

:nod:

[Billy Da Mute]

yeah he is. i wasnt feeling the last lagwagon cd, but blaze was so good..its up there with my favs

[chipdip18]

houston we have a drinking problem is such a fucking legit cd. anyone know if joeys puttin out more shit as bad astronaut or anything?


I read somewhere that Bad Astronaut isn't going to put out any other albums since the drummer died.

[versus_god]

Yeah, Bad Astronaut is finished.

[Billy Da Mute]

terrible

[CellarGhosts]

I kinda hope there's some unreleased BA songs sitting around somewhere haha.

[chipdip18]

terrible


Whoa, are you talking about Bad Astronaut?

[chipdip18]

I kinda hope there's some unreleased BA songs sitting around somewhere haha.


Haha i know what you mean.

[Billy Da Mute]

no haha i meant terrible there wont be any new stuff released, when i asked i forgot that derek passed away

[Billy Da Mute]

Haha i know what you mean.


and even if there isnt some underground hidden BA shit, his solo cd should be pretty good

[chipdip18]

no haha i meant terrible there wont be any new stuff released, when i asked i forgot that derek passed away


Hahaha that's reassuring. Yeah that is really sad, but BA had a pretty good run.

[CellarGhosts]

and even if there isnt some underground hidden BA shit, his solo cd should be pretty good
Understatement of the year ;-)

haha. I'm expecting it to be awesome. that acoustic stuff on the split with Tony Sly is fucking golden. And Tony's acoustic renditions are pretty awesome too.

Haha i know what you mean.
:nod:

[versus_god]

Why is their "Linoleum" cover so good?

[Billy Da Mute]

hahaha allright my bad, should be amazing.

i havnt heard the split, ill def check it out

[CellarGhosts]

I think I like it better than the original! :-0

[CellarGhosts]

hahaha allright my bad, should be amazing.

i havnt heard the split, ill def check it out
haha, it's all good.

definitely get on that. they both do acoustic versions of 5 songs from their respective bands, and one new song (well they were new at the time, Stunt Double from the NUFAN "best of" comp is all acoustic on there and "Violet" from 12 Small Steps is on there without the drums/effects and it's a little longer.)

[Billy Da Mute]

fuckin right, ill look into that. i never really got into NUFAN butttt i need some new tunes haha

[chipdip18]

Do it!

[CellarGhosts]

fuckin right, ill look into that. i never really got into NUFAN butttt i need some new tunes haha
haha, sweet. NUFAN are another favorite of mine.

[Billy Da Mute]

yeah my friend reccommended them to me, but i think i bought TLA's cd instead at the time.i love the lawrence arms slash wish they put some more stuff out

[chipdip18]

I still need to by some TLA stuff, i'm going to get The Greatest Story Ever Told first.

[Billy Da Mute]

theyre all amazing cds, i love apathy and exhaustion though the best

[CellarGhosts]

yeah my friend reccommended them to me, but i think i bought TLA's cd instead at the time.i love the lawrence arms slash wish they put some more stuff out

yeah, TLA are my favorite band! haha. i really hope they have a new album out sometime soon.

[Billy Da Mute]

check out the falcon too, its the singer from TLA and dan from alk 3, and im not positive but i think the drummer is from rise against. theyre mad good

[versus_god]

TLA Neil plays drums for the Falcon.

[chipdip18]

check out the falcon too, its the singer from TLA and dan from alk 3, and im not positive but i think the drummer is from rise against. theyre mad good


Hahah sounds good.

[CellarGhosts]

hahaha, yeah dude, I got that shit the moment it came out. :-D

on the EP it was Brendan, Danny, Neil and the guitarist from Rise Against and on the album it's just Brendan, Neil and Danny.

[Billy Da Mute]

word i didnt know who else was in it. either way worth a listen, blackout's a standout

[Billy Da Mute]

speaking of RA, new material is needed

[chipdip18]

speaking of RA, new material is needed


I think they are recording aren't they?

[Billy Da Mute]

i hope so..i love the older stuff, S & W i was eh about

[CellarGhosts]

I think they are recording aren't they?
I think they are.

word i didnt know who else was in it. either way worth a listen, blackout's a standout
Blackout is :thumbup:

[chipdip18]

Yeah yeah... i have no idea where they are suppose to be going with this record, but we should discuss this in the Rise Against thread eh?

[Billy Da Mute]

this is true, got distracted. whats the name of that tony sly/ joey split, i wanna dl it

[chipdip18]

It's just called Acoustic i think

[CellarGhosts]

yeah it's just called "acoustic"

[Billy Da Mute]

yeah it is, found it on itunes. just bought it. wooo

[chipdip18]

Yeah! Now add that to the Albums i just bought or whatever and i'll praise you.

[CellarGhosts]

:thumbup:

not a big fan of buying things on there, given the bitrate on all of their stuff but still, good on ya for downloading it haha

[chipdip18]

I'm not a fan of getting stuff online anyway because i like having the hardcopy, artwork, and it's just a good back-up incase my computer crashes or whatever.

[CellarGhosts]

same here.

[Billy Da Mute]

yeah i agree with that i like having the artwork and shit ..its just easier for me to just click a button and i have all my music backed up on a another harddrive, unless im diehard for the band, in which case i pick up the hardcopy. i just think its a matter of convience

[chipdip18]

Yeah. But some CD's are just too hard to find so i buy them online.

It is, not a bad song on there. But there are awesome songs ALL OF THEM!
