The Starting Line Band • Page 50

Mighty fine avatar you got there.

 

I think BOATS is my favorite TSL album now. I’ve watched the performance 5 times already.

 

Same to you! Great to see another Bearcat fan here

 

Ugh. I only bought the BOATS live vinyl, but I'm sooo tempted to buy a ticket to the stream for the interviews.

 

Can I still watch them? Thinking tomorrow is the day.

 

You can watch all of them through Feb 5th I believe

 

Hella yes - I think people thought the quality was better for direction but I’m thinking boats.

 

Sweater shipped today!

 

I'm relistening to the BOATS livestream and I'm amazed at how well they pulled this off after so many years. The songs have a lot of moving parts and they're just nailing them

 

Give me Lasting Impressions full band baby

 

Nights and Weekends! Brian would nail those overlapping vocals in the chorus

 

My sweatshirt came today! Material’s a little thinner than I was hoping for, but the material is super comfy and the graphic print is a great size.

 

If they somehow play “Classic Jazz” I will absolutely lose my shit. It would give that amazing song a proper recording. All we have is love video and a basement demo.

 

It would be a crime to omit it.

 

If they play Classic Jazz or Nights and Weekends, one of those alone would be worth the price of the ticket.

 

Time To Run!

 

Kenny's anecdote on The World makes it almost unlistenable for me haha. Way too funny

 

Care to share?

 

on the livestream he introduced the song as the worst starting line song ever recorded

and that the record label kept sending them back to the studio to record “a hit single” and the band had no idea what that meant. And this is what they came up with

 

There were some recycled anecdotes from the recent Music + Stories tour. Kenny has really strong opinions on just about every song.

 

His anecdote about the head of Geffen Records was really funny

 

It should’ve been a hit single!

 

Fuck, I like The World. I'm a sucker for that kind of song

 

I’m sure his intention wasn’t to shit on anybody for liking it as much as it was to just give a firm indication almost 16 years later that they’re well aware of how silly and completely out of character it was. As cornball as I think that song is, nothing bugs me about it more than how disingenuous it sounds coming specifically from them and specifically on that album. Love hearing Kenny go on the record calling it out as such, but the song itself is fine in a vacuum. Even for all its cookie cutter-ness, it would’ve been most other pop punk band’s biggest single
