Hey Geoff,

I really wanted to thank you guys for what you do-- putting on great shows, working your asses off on tour, making music that you not only care about, but that really means something.

One of my favorite bands went major this past year on a label that caters mostly to pop acts. They went from this amazing, passionate and talented hardrock band, to this washed-out, uninspired, commercially-poisoned pop-rock band. It really kills me inside when that happens.

On the other hand, you guys have been working so hard to put out the music that you want to make. You use your talents to the best of your abilities to create something you can actually be proud of and that people really feel and connect with. I really think it's a beautiful thing that you guys are doing, and I feel happy to be a part of it by watching it happen.


Common Existence rocks, the show out here kicked ass, and I hope to catch you guys again really soon!

Love, Laura

Hey Geoff, I just want to thank you guys for being amazing and putting out great records. You're saving music from all the crap that is being sold and played. Keep going! Also, I tried to go to Taste Of Chaos, but I couldn't. Just keep rocking, and keep the Thursday spirit alive! Oh, and congrats on getting that AP Cover.

hey!
so i was supposed to see you guys at taste of chaos last weekend but i had to jet early, and let me tell you I am super disapointed. AND I was supposed to have a meet and greet with you but i wasn't told to come early! Disapointing, but i hope to see you guys back in MD again! And I was extremely happy to see you were selling United Nations shirts! Sady, I only had $10! Anyways, are you guys selling the cd/shirts anywhere? I didnt see the cd at your merch table, and I'd like to get a shirt also. Thank you so much i you read this!!

Where would you recommend pre-ordering the CD from. Is there any site you guys are endorsing for that?

Geoff i respect and love evrything youve done and stood for.I agree the whole scene has gone very very stale.It really does sadden me.I used to get this chill when id goto shows.Now not so much.
Bands are more worried about looking cool just writing one catchy song and making money.
It used to be about being diffrent and being open minded and non materialistic.Rock def wasnt made to be perfprmed by boy bands like now lol. ACBTLD was a great album.i dont care what the others say.ya it wasnt my fav,but if it were your first album def..Ive always thought about undeground rock as a movement,i grew sick of listening to the same overated mainstream bands.then back when i was 12 i came across Thursday and Refused on napster back in 99 or so.
never heard anything like this..i just thoght it was so powerful and inspiring .it just hit me on a diffrent level. But currently the trend is poppy cookie cutter bullshit and generic breakdown cookie monster screamo and new hardcore that has no cause whatsover.

Dear Mr. Rickly,

This is what MySpace thinks of contractual obligations to anonymity:



I can't wait for the Thursday/Envy split so I can buy it and stare at it utterly perplexed, as I have no idea what to actually do with vinyl.

Huzzah!

And make no mistake: irony tyrannizes us. The reason why our pervasive cultural irony is at once so powerful and so unsatisfying is that an ironist is impossible to pin down. All U.S. irony is based on an implicit "I don’t really mean what I’m saying." So what does irony as a cultural norm mean to say? That it’s impossible to mean what you say? That maybe it’s too bad it’s impossible, but wake up and smell the coffee already? Most likely, I think, today’s irony ends up saying: "How totally banal of you to ask what I really mean." --David Foster Wallace
