Worry loving rules. Only problem I have it is almost the entire second half consists of minute-long songs that sorta blur together.

Whatever happened to the supposed recording of BTMI's last show that Jeff was gunna release? It's been like two or three years since that show, where the gently caress is the video of it.

Looks like victory and Streetlight finally resolved their legal disputes. Hopefully we'll get new songs sometime in the next decade!

Oh, yeah you're right. Dunno why I thoguht it'd be 9 albums from 3 bands, maybe I just assumed it'd be 9 11-song albums. I wonder what the other two "Streetlight Manifesto related" artists were are.

Agreed. My biggest regret is that I forgot to bring cash, and the atm refused to take my debit card so I couldn't buy one of the great shirts there. In retrospect I shoulda offered to buy someone there a drink with my credit card in exchange for them buying me a shirt.

Catch rules, Tomas is a talented jerk, Jeff is a talented cool dude, Fateo and I stayed in the same hotel, the Streetlight/BOTAR thing on Saturday is gonna rule but all it'll do is just remind me that Tomas is never going to record anything new ever again, I'm currently two songs into POST- and it's p good but so far is just WORRY 2 and I kinda miss when he was making Get Warmer through We Cool? where each successive album has at least a little bit of a different sound


e: Powerlessness is the best song so far simply because it sounds different than the others

Funny, I thought POST- sounded pretty different from WORRY. I don't like it as much as WORRY right now, but Jeff albums usually take a few listens for them to grow on me.

Super excited to see BOTAR tomorrow in LA! To celebrate, here's a video I put together of "rare" Streetlight songs/demos from old rear end live shows and whatnot:

This is great, thanks for making it! One thing I like about Streetlight is how much their songs change as they're being worked on, so it's fun to find early versions as they can often feel like entirely different songs.

The Aquabats adjusted their kickstarter goal to be much less insane, and have been funded for a new album + mini episodes + a live concert album. There's 3 hours left and they're 50k away from getting a second new album, if y'all wanna contribute to hopefully get it up there.

But on the other hand, lol kickstarter.

For me it's Hello Rockview. I get that the scene tends to like less polished recordings, and there is some really great stuff on Losing Streak and I love it too, but Hello Rockview is great almost from start to finish. I could do without Motto and Richard Allen George... but I like every other track on that album. About half of Losing Streak is great, but I'm not into the other half.

I've had Borders and Boundaries for years, but I don't actually know it that well. I could only identify about 3 songs on it if pushed.

What the gently caress has Big D and the Kids Table done lately? I liked the direction their music was taking, though I am kind of under the impression that fans didn’t. Feels like a lot of bands dropped off the face of the earth five or so years ago. Big D, Mustard Plug, Catch 22, etc.

My friend just introduced me to a podcast called 23min of Ska. It's exactly what it sounds like. No intros, no commercials, just 23 minutes of back to back Ska.

A lot of the episodes feature new bands/songs, which is not a thing I thought was still happening.

Anyhow check it out if you want. https://radjose.wordpress.com/

I saw him do his solo act and someone in the crowd yelled "MRS BUTTERWORTH YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE TONIGHT" and he was like "I don't need an excuse" lol

Why the gently caress doesn't he just do it? It's clear tons of his fans really love the song and it connects with them in some way. If he's embarrassed about it why doesn't he re-write it to be not as embarrassing to him? He's clearly willing to re-record or re-write his old songs.

I get that it's his song and his decision and such but c'mon, man.

He doesn't play BTMI songs, but he says it's out of respect for the old band members. Playing those songs would be like saying "I don't need you guys" to them.

That's totally fair, for sure.

But devil's advocate weren't like a significant chunk of BTMI shows just Jeff and an iPod?

Also a little weird since like half of the band he currently plays with are old BTMI people I think. And I think he occasionally plays old BTMI songs at shows to please the fans.

But yeah either way he still has tons of really good new music to play. Seriously Worry may be the best album he's ever released.

LOL remember when Kalnoky said he was going to slow down on touring so that they could focus on making music? And how he said that it was because of Victory that his albums took so long to release, but now that they're independent they haven't released a single new song? At least The Hands That Thieve was a pretty drat good album.

I mean they said they'd tone down the shows to record more, and now it's retroactively to have more personal time. Which is fine, but doesn't give me much hope for them trying to tone down shows more. I suspect we'll hit some point (soon?) where they just stop touring or releasing new stuff and everyone kinda just forgets about them.
