Bought tickets this morning at the box office. No Ticketmaster surcharges there...it felt good.

The "Cherry Tree" EP has a couple of really good songs on it, especially "About Today." Their self-titled album is good but only has a few standouts.

Alligator and Boxer are amazing. The rest of their albums are simply good.

The last 3 songs on "Sad Songs" are pretty fucking depressing, huh?

Quote:
"Everywhere I am is just another thing without you in it"

"I fell in love with you no matter what you say / but you were right about the reasons"

"You clean yourself to meet / the man who isn't me"


I hope they start playing some of these live again at some point.

funny, i was going to post this next:

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
I'll overdo it
