    Secured the boardwalk print. Now I can enjoy the show without worrying about it.

    I have so much stuff to hang up I couldn't swing one more poster.

    Don't recreate the scene, or reinvent the meanings Supporter

    Got my poster as well. Not having to pay coat check for it makes things easier at the show.

    I have a portfolio of stuff that needs to go up. I’m in a tiny apartment and have pretty much maxed out my wall space. I usually rotate them to keep things fresh, this is absolutely going on the wall.

    It's definitely within the top 10 IMO. Short and sweet, and features some of Brian's best lyrics.

    I would describe Orphans, We Came To Dance and 45 as all top tier Gaslight songs.

    We Came To Dance - like Sink or Swim overall - is just so imbued with heart and soul and passion that any technical or production shortcomings are drowned out for me. The songs are so good and still when I put the album on I can hear and feel the four of them pouring everything out into this shot at doing what they want to do.

    Orphans is a damn good song and like a lot of American Slang it kinda gets overlooked. The songs are all short and sweet and peppy but for me they are deceptively good and nuanced and a little deeper than I think they get recognized for.

    45 is kinda weird for me because if I think about the song and how I would describe it - lead single, high energy, etc. - it doesn't sound like one that would usually be one of my favorites, but whenever I hear the song it is just so f---ing great and I find myself shouting along to the lyrics and doing cheesy air punches and stuff.
