I'm still confused about whether this is the band I saw open for Titus Andronicus or if it was a different band called Ceremony (last.fm tells me there's multiple). I really liked whatever band I saw 3 years ago.

I think you'll be fine if you go to a late showing. Or just sit near other people and pretend you're with them.

RIB just has this great epic quality to it, it's packed with songs but every one flows together really well.

As someone who still thoroughly enjoys both bands, I am very jealous you got to see them on a double-bill.

Considering they're playing Lolla's South American dates I think we can take a wild guess why they aren't playing Chicago.

Fold Your Hands was my second B&S album after Waitress. I've always enjoyed most of it, especially the last few songs.

I've listened to the album a few times through, but I keep getting stuck on that song. I think I played it 5 times in a row the first time I heard it. My favorite off the album.

I've been really digging "We Need a Little Christmas" lately. Not as sad as this, but I do love the line "For I've grown a little older, grown a little sadder, grown a little older." It hits at that mix of emotions around the holidays, where you may have had a crappy time but you still want to celebrate.

Definitely exists in the Bing version. It's the one I've heard the most and I always remember that line.

Someone needs to release a cut of the movie without that scene. Less to ignore that it happened and more so that I can watch a great film without cringing for five minutes in the middle.

I wasn't aware that it had been taken out. Every version I've listened to has it.

"Come Thou Fount" absolutely kills me every time. It's just such a lovely arrangement. I can't actually listen to any other version of it, the rest sound insincere.

She was clumsy but it's never made in connection with her weight. I always saw it as more of the "ditsy artist" cliche: too busy focused on perfecting her dishes to notice her hand is on the stove.

Your story just brought up a repressed memory of attending a Christian comedy show my first year of college. In order to not be raunchy the guy ended up being mildly racist towards Asians. Oof

They weren't my first band (I'll credit that to Travis), but Brand New lasted the longest for me. Got into them when I was 15 and Deja came out, still consider myself a fan today. Daisy was a letdown, but I can still listen to everything else to this day.

Doctor Who has made me cry plenty of times, but no episode has come close to the emotions of "Vincent and the Doctor."

I just have to hear the beginning strums on the banjo for that song and I start to cry. It's a beautiful song.

A BBT fan misspelled Hulu plus as "Hulk Plus." This response back made me chuckle:
"Hulk Plus programming includes Green Acres and Anger Management."

This is the first time in a long time this joke has made me chuckle out loud. Thanks for that, especially with all the sadness around.

I say we combine the child-laughing horror trope with the child-laughing indie song trope and create the most twee scary movie ever.
