(Great thread)
That Stay On My Side Tonight EP is such a gem.
just stuck this on
helping my Monday morning no ends
The best song on that whole record
not even for the Davey bit, just for all of it. So good. Never gets old I LOVE IT.
Best song is If You Don't, Don't
that's my 2nd favourite
just for the way he says 'straight'
one of those songs where hearing the opening just makes me grin like an absolute loon
Probably my favourite song ever.
Random fact
the chorus to this http://youtu.be/YCG_yP5MsMc?t=47s has always, ALWAYS reminded me of not only J.E.W. but A Praise Chorus. Even if unknowingly, he nicked it right?
i've always thought this.
I always want to song 'heeeere toniiiiiight' at the end of the chorus of Saturday Superhouse (after the 'you're not the lucky ones' bit)
it's so amazing.
few other songs have that guileless, youthful energy. And it's so motivational - it unfailingly makes me believe that anything's possible. And I love the production (on this, and the whole album), it sounds so fucking chunky.
And yeah, the Davey Von Bohlen backing vocals, which I didn't fully appreciate when I was 15 but I definitely appreciate now.
yeah love it
reminds me of a really special time in my life, seems endlessly nostalgic
they started with at the reading set they did when they headlined the lock up stage
the same day they played main stage. so good.
the best song that isn't on clarity, and isn't 23
and For Me This is Heaven at both sets :D
Oh man, that was amazing
I remember being a drunk/stoned blubbering mess the second time they played it. And not being the least bit ashamed.
They did Sweetness both times too
That whole day was magic. Biffy opening with Bodies in Flight, Interpol closing with PDA...
Out of interest,
was anyone else introduced to this song by this Kerrang compilation?
http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Hot-Stuff/release/2392563
yes!
I'd completely
forgotten how great this song is!
Floods of nostalgia just from those opening hi-hats counts.
WHY DID WE EVER MEET
this was the moment emo exploded
It's
Don't don't, don't let's start
Why did we ever part?
that does it for me
Bleed American is such a landmark album in my life.
It evokes such great nostalgia; first love, kissing and sexual adventure, September 11, my first set of exams, becoming a scout leader... and despite that I can objectively look back on the album and say that yes I was totally in love with a classic record of our time.
^this to everything but the scout leader bit
I was too busy slamming tequilas and touching up girls in the student union. EMO LAD.
But yeah, one of the few records from that period of my youth that I reckon would easily hold up without the benefit of nostalgia.
^this but I was younger so it was
all teenage makeout parties and friends getting drunk for the first time and awesome, awkward unrequited lust. And exams. And playing in terrible bands, skateboarding and smoking hash.
I cant listen to Bleed American without feeling sad and nostalgic.
Reminds me of GCSE results,
fancying a boy who didn't fancy me back, getting stoned, playing THPS, getting my first guitar.
shame about The Middle huh
I really wish I could pretend The Middle didn't exist
Along with everything post-Bleed American with the exception of SOMST.
I used to listen to this album on my paper round
on my minidisc player
this thread
='(
had forgotten to buy the album until 2006
working at a fast-food joint, a co-worker was trying to get me to agree about the genius behind the line, 'crimson and clover, over and over'... so of course I went right out and bought it and agreed completely. Still my favorite song on the album.
I echo all the good feeling and praise for this song
it's utterly wonderful.
OUR HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, WHY DID WE EVER MEET?
Gonna blast it on the way home.
that bit is so Nothing Feels Good-era Promise Ring
you mean
that it's the chorus from Why Did We Ever Meet by the Promise Ring? Sung by the guy who wrote it...
Great song yeah.
Saw JEW play A Praise Chorus when The Promise Ring were supporting them.
At Rock City.
Davey V-B came on stage to sing the refrain. Good times.
