Cap'n Jazz (official thread)

[Fuckmaxbemis]

This band is god.

It deserves an official thread, and I apologize if the search function misguided me and there already was a topic.

But really. I never get tired of these guys, never. I plan to cover this band someday.

[DjJazzyGeoff]

i was actually just listenin to these guys a few hours ago. i only wish they had recorded more material

[Fuckmaxbemis]

*ahem* Street Smart Cyclist?

[Wobbie]

Cap'n Jazz are my favourite band ever. And i'm really loving Street Smart Cyclist too. The similarities to Cap'n Jazz are insane!!

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Hence, why they are pretty much post-CJ.

[DjJazzyGeoff]

i actually havent heard of street smart cyclist ill check em out

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Yeah man, I guess it's sort of hard making this topic since they don't make music or tour anymore.

[decom_poseur]

Never listened to 'em. Where do I start?

[DjJazzyGeoff]

ya theres only so many times you can say "this band fuckin rules!!!" but they deserve their own official thread nonetheless

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Their Myspace of course.

Lil' League is their best: http://www.myspace.com/capnjazz1

[BlinkinDuke]

ya theres only so many times you can say "this band fuckin rules!!!" but they deserve their own official thread nonetheless

There is no limit to the greatness exhibited by CJ. A word has yet to be thought of that encompasses how perfect their work is. So no, you can never say Cap'n Jazz fuckin' rules too many times. IF anything, you are not saying it enough

[Fuckmaxbemis]

So, this band uhh, fucking rules. Living proof that I am the biggest god damn fan boy you will ever know:

I'd also take a picture of my Red Vinyl cap'n Jazz record, but, no camera.

[BlinkinDuke]

I love Cap'n Jazz just as much as the next person (albeit that person has to have heard of CJ to love them but to my point), that may be borderline strange, possibly stalkerish. If there's a line to cross between fanboy and overly obsessive, then you are straddling it

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Then I'll take overly obsessive. I've always thought of stalking tim kinsella down at one of his bartending jobs and then, you know, talk to him.

[Siren Silently]

Never listened to 'em. Where do I start?

I LOOOOOOOVE Oh Messy Life.

[flyeast]

Their Myspace of course.

Too true.
I love this band.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Jeez, if it wasnt so damn hard to get ahold of, I'd tell you to get the whoel discography. Honestly, you either love the fuck out of this band or hate it. If you hate....GTFO.

I have so much respect for Cap'n Jazz, especially lyrically. They are my favourite of the Kinsella projects. If anyone needs help with an Analphabetapolothology link...pm me

we're using bruises to loosely in a haste to lose me. and i've given all i could give. we live in quick flips, slips, tips, and taps to snap us outta these statue traps. and i've taken all i could take.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

^ Those are good.


Halo mah middle ah hoola hoop hug, squeeze too warm ribs stab heart.

Uhm, takingshots, you can buy the album virtually anywhere if you google it. But uhhh, I might get on that.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Thread needs to be bumped.

[Wobbie]

Yes it does.

Do you remember what thread we had those big lists of Cap'n Jazz lyric lines? I can't find it anywhere.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

I was looking for that the other day. The funnest thing to do when you're bored is look at all your old posts. this one was my first:

To add on to that one, Tim Kinsella was NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT the creator of emo in general.

Fuck Max Bemis.

Are you one of Tim Kinsella's 6 friends? :D

[LendMeYourBrain]

Everyone is my friend!

I would already have kids with the man if that was true.

[Siren Silently]

Good point. Fuckmaxbemis indeed.

Everyone is my friend!

I know what I have to do and do it, but don't know what it is until it's done.

I love Say Anything and Cap'n Jazz.

Cfear, d00d, if we ever end up hanging out, just stay away from the CJ. I will sing the whole fucking discography, you dont want that. By the way, that show you were talking about i nthe teenage sex thread, who be playing and where at?

it's at 1919 on Sunday.

Edit: i did that all by memory. i didnt even notice the flyer for the show on the wall in front of me (where I keep upcoming show flyers).

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Alright man. That'll be cool I 'spose. 1919 aint too far either, i'll ask parentals. 7 pm?

[LendMeYourBrain]

Why are Cap N Jazz and Say Anything always lumped together?

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Max bemis vs. Tim Kinsella. That's why. And it's why my name is what it is.

[summer skin]

Taaaake onnn meeee

Ha I was listening to Analphabetapolothology the other day...good stuff.
Was Joan of Arc any good? I never really checked them out, but I saw them live once and it was pretty cool. Tim wrapped the mic chord around some kid and made him stand in one place.
I can't remember what the music was like though, cause I was 14 and probably didn't dig it.

[BGP]

joan of arc is amazing.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Joan of Arc is beautiful. Find the song 'Me and America (or) The Unit colors Of The Gap'. That is their best in my opinion, but if you take a peak at their myspaces, there's good stuff on there too.

[summer skin]

sweet will do.

[summer skin]

What's a good album to start with?

[Genuma]

It's sad that people are using their myspace for shit now though. All the comments are those stupid "Free iPhone and iPod" scams.

halo my middle a hoola hoop hug, squeeze too warm and ribs stab heart

sometimes i wonder how the fuck they thought of some of their ridiculous, yet brilliant lyrics. disc 1 definitely > disc 2. I've been digging "forget who we are" and "planet shhh" a lot lately

[chipdip18]

It's hard for me to pick one disc over the other, what makes you go with disc one?

[Czarsy]

Cap'n Jazz rules.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

It's hard for me to pick one disc over the other, what makes you go with disc one?

I'd assume it's because disc 1 is actually the newer set of cap'n jazz songs. At one point I did feel the same way though, that disc 1 was where they threw all the good songs and disc 2 was where they put all the songs nobody gave a shit about. Mind you, this is very possible seeing how the track "naive" (one of cap'n jazz's best songs) was omitted from analphabetapolothology as a whole, so to think that whoever put together the the track order was a bit embarrassed by some songs. And not to mention, the disc 2 song set is from older releases and features their live tracks.

After listening to this band for four years and it still being my favorite, the 2nd disc I've learned to appreciate more just because of its more sincere quality, and that's why cap'n jazz is so great, it's not superficial emotional rock. People say always that Cap'n jazz generated all these lighter indie bands coming into the emotional hardcore genre, but I'd really have to blame that on Christie Front Drive and other bands who I feel take more influence from the 90's emo band Gauge than anything. Guage has the most direct sound to the lighter pop punk stuff and to get even more specific, "indie emo" was not at all a product of cap'n jazz, but rather Jawbreaker. Jawbreaker really brought light to bands like Hot Water Music, and if we want to peer back even further, Jimmy Eat Worlds 1994 self titled was pretty "gruff" (as we call it) and plays a role into what I feel "commercialized" emo.

I'd like to think and expand on how I think Cap'n Jazz is not responsible for any sort of "indie emo". Cap'n Jazz was clearly just a good old indie band in my opinion, as if pavement decided to get a little more messy and serious about their music. We can leave the emo title to bands like Mohinder and Knotwork.

What an enjoyable and thought-out post haha. Well, i guess i'd have to give the album as a whole more time then, and then decide which disc i like better.

Interesting commentary on the artists who helped "commercialize" the midwestern indie movement transitioning from real emo into the pop-punk with post-hardcore influence of the early 00's. I think you might be the first person i've seen who says Cap'n Jazz doesn't play a significant role in that. I think i'd have to go back and check out Christie Front Drive and Gauge before i can agree with you, but i see where you're coming from with Jawbreaker and Pavement.

Great bump, need to listen to some more Cap'n Jazz.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Yeah, the booklet to the CD release feels so thick and grainy and wonderful. It's the only album I wouldn't pirate off the internet.

I thought this was in need of a bump especially because I made a recent blog post and it's not exactly shameless self-promotion, it being in context and all: yeahitsallrelative.blogspot.com

Mike's music is more mathematically talented, definitely more talented as a musician but Tim, I feel that Tim's output in regards to art is more sincere.

You can't find it for sale or can't find it pirated? If you don't live in total Tardville you'll probably find it at the record store for sale, or check the Jade Tree website. If you are seeking it as booty, just ask any top listener on Last.fm. I'd upload it for you, but I haven't got a computer anymore.

Both. I've looked around in a few record stores that might carry it, but no such luck. I'll probably end up going on Amazon sometime and just buying a copy of it there. It's only $13-ish.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

OR you can just get on last.fm and ask anyone who listens to upload it for you. If you're not one to toy with last.fm, I could do it for you.

I'll probably end up doing that. Seems like the most practical way to go.

This is required listening for anyone and everyone.

[mattmatumbo]

God, its so addicting. Plus i just got American Football, great great band too.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Little League is one of my favorite songs. I think Cap'n Jazz is Tim Kinsella's best endeavor, however I've only listened to to Joan Of Arc and not everything they've released, so I could be wrong.

[mattmatumbo]

Little League is a must for any happy occasion

[ThemChains]

Seriously, Oh Messy Life. Can't stop, won't stop.

For real.

Analphabetapolothology is one of the best things ever released. Their cover of Take On Me is incredible.

the polothology is one of my favorite albums ever. I was never able to find it on the internet, I ended up ordering it off of Jade Tree's website. Worth it.

[SickOfStars]

Can we just stop for a second to talk about how in the nice, pretty acoustic version of 'Ooh Do I Love You,' Tim Kinsella goes ahead and says "step on that little fucker's jaw, snap him in half like a wishbone", and how much "lol" and win that is?

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Tim Kinsella is the man.

[SickOfStars]

Indeed. I would normally say "what a man," but he is in fact not only a great man, but the man.

This family (both literally Kinsella and the folks that were in this band/"family") has shaped the music I listen to in ways that God himself would be hardpressed to comprehend.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

I'm a Kinsella fanboy, but I haven't really listened to much of his solo stuff, or Nate Kinsella's album too.

Right now I mostly listen to American Football, Joan of Arc, Owen, The Promise Ring, and The One Up Downstairs, for bands that veined from Cap'n Jazz. I've been meaning to listen to Ghosts and Vodka though, same with Make Believe and Owls.

Ghosts and Vodka > Owls >>> Make Believe

just so ya know.

Owls and Make Believe are pretty similar to each other, in that they're both midtempo, sorta meandering, and off time. Owls is more rooted in clean guitar and stuff like that while Make Believe is more distorted and noisy.

[chipdip18]

I think i'd kill for a Cap'n Jazz show with Pavement. I could see that being one of the best shows ever.

[mattmatumbo]

Algernon Cadwallader, the rebirth of Cap'n Jazz.

I've heard great things about Ghosts and Vodka, just haven't gotten around to listening to them yet. I also had a feeling that make believe and owls would be similar to each other. Owls seems like a band that Tim Kinsella could have easily fit in with another one of his projects.

[Kid B]

Algernon is nowhere near as good as Cap'n, imo.

I would probably pay like as much blink is going to charge for their tour (i'm assuming $50?)

Holy shit. Would be amazing. Could get The Silver Jews and Owen, but it wouldn't even be close.

I think Silver Jews broke up this year too, although Silver Jews and Owen would be, yeah a subpar Pavement and Cap'n Jazz concert. Do any the Kinsellas play old band material in their new sets?

Old material as in Cap'n Jazz? I remember searching to see if Owen ever played and older songs, but I wasn't successful in finding any. If you or anybody happen to find one though, let me know. I would love to see them. All I could ever find was a few shitty youtube videos of Cap'n Jazz playing live, and that's about it. And to answer your blink-182 question, my ticket was $80, and there are ones that were more expensive. I was willing to pay though, because I never got to see them when I was really into them, and they were a gateway band for me. People seem to pay a lot of money for nostalgic reasons I guess.

Edit: The Silver Jews broke up? You can't be serious. I just got into them not too long ago.

[SanePsychotic]

I'd pay $75 to see Cap'n Jazz and Pavement together. Not much more than that.

Yeah old material as in like Cap'n Jazz and American Football. I would kill to see them live too.

Yeah, and i would pay like $80 to see Pavement and Cap'n Jazz... if they played with some third band i love like the Pixies or something.

I bet blink does a pretty awesome show, as much as i'm not for the reunion, i do bet that show will be like 4 hours of them playing.

I'm 96% sure they did, and yeah i'm just as bummed since i just got into them like a month or two ago... so lame. What a great band.

Pavement, Cap'n Jazz and Dinosaur Jr. That would definitely be worth $80. But so would them with the Pixies.

I bet blink does a pretty awesome show, as much as i'm not for the reunion, i do bet that show will be like 4 hours of them playing.
I'm hoping they put on a show that brings me back to high school for the night. Weezer and Taking Back Sunday are the support for my date, and I grew up listening to them as well, so I'm pretty excited.
I'm 96% sure they did, and yeah i'm just as bummed since i just got into them like a month or two ago... so lame. What a great band.
I'm surprised that you only got into them a few months ago too. Even though they aren't very similar to Pavement, I figured you would've liked them for awhile now. American Water is a gem btw.

Pavement, Cap'n Jazz and Dinosaur Jr. That would definitely be worth $80. But so would them with the Pixies.
I am so behind on my Dinosaur Jr., rec me two albums please haha. I would pay $80 for that show probably though.

I'm hoping they put on a show that brings me back to high school for the night. Weezer and Taking Back Sunday are the support for my date, and I grew up listening to them as well, so I'm pretty excited.
Hahaha talk about nostalgia, what a show. You win if Weezer and Taking Back Sunday play a lot from The Blue Album, Pinkerton and Tell All Your Friends.

I know! American Water is freaking beautiful. A highlight from the decade for sure. It took Vinh's article on the album for me to give it a spin.

I always find that the easiest way to get into a new band is to start with their newest release, that is, if the newest one is even worth listening to. I would recommend giving Farm a good listen, and then try You're Living All Over Me. Those have been my two favorites so far.

Alright good call. I'll look into those for sure.

Cross your fingers. I think the fact that it's nostalgic for all of those bands since they were all huge around 2001 for the same kids, it could happen.

Haha. That's when I first decided to listen to it as well.
Such a good album haha. I love it.

Got any new recs for me? I've been in an exploring mood this week.

[boysandbulletsx]

Mmmm, love this band. I'm so happy to see it up here. Time to listen to Analphabetapolothology.

[chipdip18]

Well my avatar i guess. Curtis Mayfield - Curtis for some good funky jams.

[DejaNew]

Cool. I'll check him out, and I'll let you know what I think. I usually like most of you and Vinh's recs anyways.

[chipdip18]

Cool. I'll check him out, and I'll let you know what I think. I usually like most of you and Vinh's recs anyways.

Haha well most of my rec's are from Vinh, so that would make sense. You should check out his top ten list from this year on Sun On the Sand. He knows where to find great albums, it's incredible haha.

Will do. I'm off to bed though, it was good talking to you.

[chipdip18]

Will do. I'm off to bed though, it was good talking to you.

Good talking for sure, catch you later.

[Kid B]

Can we just stop for a second to talk about how in the nice, pretty acoustic version of 'Ooh Do I Love You,' Tim Kinsella goes ahead and says "step on that little fucker's jaw, snap him in half like a wishbone", and how much "lol" and win that is?
So true. The acoustic version destroys the original in my opinion. Both are stunning though.

Yeah old material as in like Cap'n Jazz and American Football. I would kill to see them live too.
Mike plays Never Meant at a lot of Owen shows.

[chipdip18]

Mike plays Never Meant at a lot of Owen shows.

Really? That's pretty cool.

[achassi]

I always listen to "Ooh Do I Love You" hourly.

[mattmatumbo]

Bump, best band ever.

I don't know, but I never question what Tim Kinsella says.

[GuitarR0cker1]

I like this thread because it made me listen to Cap'n Jazz.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

I was going to listen to them today, but I never got around to it.

[chipdip18]

I think that disc 1 > disc 2.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Indeed.

[chipdip18]

The cover of 'Take On Me' cooks.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

That's one of my favorite things ever.

[chipdip18]

Hahaha mine too. It's a nice treasure.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

God, I need to listen to analphabetatology again, it's been far too long. Oh by the way, I wrote a new song and have to tweak the recording, but I want you to hear it, I think you might like it.

[chipdip18]

Well then by all means send me it.

[Cuddleworthy]

I think that disc 1 > disc 2.

by far

[chipdip18]

by far

It's not even a fair comparison really as the second disc is most made up of songs they didn't work on as long for, were b-sides, etc.

[Cuddleworthy]

It's not even a fair comparison really as the second disc is most made up of songs they didn't work on as long for, were b-sides, etc.

Yeah, I thought I remembered them being b-sides or something. Scary Kids Scaring Kids is awesome though, that's a standout track for me on disc 2.

[chipdip18]

Yeah, I thought I remembered them being b-sides or something. Scary Kids Scaring Kids is awesome though, that's a standout track for me on disc 2.
I totally agree. The song way better than the band too haha.

[Cuddleworthy]

I totally agree. The song way better than the band too haha.

Haha, terrible band is awful. I remember back in high when a couple of my friends thought that they were the shit. So funny

[chipdip18]

Haha, terrible band is awful. I remember back in high when a couple of my friends thought that they were the shit. So funny

Yeah, the only thing i really heard was some music video of them in a car... Needless to say it didn't leave me intrigued.

[mattmatumbo]

Bump: again

Although i've heard olerud a few times, i just realized its utter magnificence!

"I've inherited hard boiled eyes!"

[Sigur Ros]

Olerud is fucking sick. One of the best off of Analphabetapolothology,
Next to Winter Wonderland. That is just rad.

I wish I had a way to see it.

[mattmatumbo]

Agreed, i hope tower theater gets it. They have everything.

[Wobbie]

The film came out 2 years ago. DVD came out in May, which you can buy for $6 here http://www.ihadanaccidentrecords.com/store.html

[xhandgunxheart]

I will probably buy it sometime soon.

[mattmatumbo]

I love that store now, cheap and full of good stuff. Thanks for posting the link.

That looks awful.

Aww come on now, it's probably better than most European films.

[element4433]

Aww come on now, it's probably better than most European films.Nah, it looks like something a high school student would make for a film class--like it was shot with his mom's video camera. Not everything your favorite musician does is good.

[mattmatumbo]

I learned that when I found Her Space Holiday.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Yeah, that film doesn't look too stunning, but is the soundtrack for it good?

[mattmatumbo]

Perhaps, it's by a Kinsella, and where there's one the rest are sure to follow.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

I learned that when I found Her Space Holiday.

You didn't like Indian Summer or Her Space holiday? Both are pretty good.

[captainamazing4]

awesome music here. makes me smile :)

[Sigur Ros]

Wasn't a huge fan of HSH. Loved the fuck out of Indian Summer.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

awesome music here. makes me smile :)

Seeing Built to Spill Next month. With Dinosaur Jr and Lou Barlow. Awesome.

HSH is okay, the only stuff I disliked was his split with bright eyes.

[Cyga]

Oh Messy Life will never not get to me. The chorus slaps me.

[Sigur Ros]

Oh Messy Life will never not get to me. The chorus slaps me.
Dude, same. It's a song I know I'll cry to in 20 years when I dig out my old vinyls to show my kids.

[mattmatumbo]

I just listened to Acrobatic Tenement by ATD-I, sounds very very similar.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Not quite sure I see the resemblance. I could think of a million bands with self-titles that sound messy and melodic. ATDI is no esxception, but I will say that it's a pretty sweet album. Probably my favorite of that band. In/casino out was kind of lame and that's all I really have to say about that.

[yayitsjoe]

algernon cadwallader anyone?

[Fuckmaxbemis]

yeah, AC is awesome. Fan for about 3 years. Not anything like cap'n Jazz though, sorry.

[Rawrr]

http://www.indierockreviews.com/2009/12/08/rumor-capn-jazz-owls-to-reunite/

[ShimmerAndSpill]

That's fucking crazy.

[Rawrr]

Okay, just talked to Sam via the internet, here's what's up.
Motel Smell is indeed a band. They have no intent on recording yet, but they will. He says they're all really stoked on this band. Sam plays guitar and writes riffs, Victor plays 2nd guitar (but he's providing a "supplemental role", Erik plays bass, Tim does whatever (vocals? guitar? i dunno), Bobby plays keyboard, and Theo plays drums.
He also said that the Cap'n Jazz reunion is actually happening. He said they're having a lot of fun playing those songs, and they're not writing anything new... just playing their oldies.



Yep

Not seeing this reunion may be the death of me...

[Fuckmaxbemis]

I don't have the money or the experience, according to Tim Kinsella.

I now declare myself actually pissed at Tim K. 21+ shows? Fuck you.

anyway.

great band, i saw them twice and it was probably one of the best shows i've ever been to. also own analpoefkwpeofkwpefk; and would listen to it constantly around 15-16. but unfortunately i stepped on it and it's cracked/broken and scratched now. :-(

[shit stroll]

oh look a dilesmavis sighting.

[TrblBndTrblSng]

This band is god.

It deserves an official thread, and I apologize if the search function misguided me and there already was a topic.

But really. I never get tired of these guys, never. I plan to cover this band someday.

This band is good. You may like the new blog I am working on.

[boonethompson]

Anybody see them in Brooklyn back in July? I was one of the unlucky ones who wasn't able to get in :(

[boonethompson]

I have so much respect for Cap'n Jazz, especially lyrically. They are my favourite of the Kinsella projects. If anyone needs help with an Analphabetapolothology link...pm me

Favourite lyric(s) people?

I remember her saying, "This whole world is a waste of my time" and all I could say is, "I wish I had something to say..."

Mega bump.
