This is reminding me of last year when I went to the ten-year ...Is A Real Boy concert. I don’t know whether I’m just different at 26 versus 16 or if Say Anything didn’t really pan out as great as I thought they would...but that album will always be amazing. One of those albums where you don’t skip a single song.

Your arm must be so fucking tired from carrying that torch for a decade and half.

uh fuck yea

I’ll admit I listened to these on repeat, but I was Team Brand New, no question. Because mics are for singing, not swinging.

Oh don't knock Chick tracts, I loved them as a kid. But for all the wrong reasons. Actually I just recently read a book about him and it was deliciously crazy!

I don’t get it. They died? She killed them? Fed them to a neighbor’s snake? What?

Not me but relevant.

Yup...!
