Thursday Band • Page 43

look out for pretty years in: my top 10 of the year

 

I'm removing your router from the wall

 

Lol

 

if anyone's looking to trade thursday holiday show tickets for friday, hit me up

 

I am doing well how are you my friend

 

I am well currently at work just wanted to check in on ya and say hey

 

Workforce my fav opener. I love "save our ship" and "I can see them, they don't touch me" parts

 

There are so many little moments in their discog that just get to me. Like the "BLINK IF YOU CAN HEAR THIS" in Resuscitation or the bass and drums in Tomorrow I'll Be Yous bridge

 

Looks like it's both

 

Ok that makes sense. From the looks/sounds of it I believe the bass starts that riff then the guitar joins in and then the cymbal hit happens

 

I see me! Can't believe Wrecking Ball was a month ago already. Desperate for them to tour next year.

 

It'd be dope if they pulled a Kill The House Lights and released a live dvd of the wrecking ball stuff along with a handful of new tracks

 

There's also this set from Wrecking Ball which is of pretty decent quality. Now I know what I'm doing after work tonight.

 

When is Andrew gonna start his own hardcore band?

 

I want new United Nations probably just as much as I want more Thursday.

 

Pretty sure division st is in a weird ass tuning like open d or something think it's DADFAD. I think the song war all the time is as well. Ive got the WATT tab book somewhere

 

I was just thinking about this, but I really love how spot on the album art for Common Existence and No Devolucion is. Common Existence has that stark duality of the black and white, which I think kind of correlates to what could be seen as atmospheric aggression. And if you think of the white as the atmospheric part (there's less atmosphere than there is aggression, less white than there is black), then it makes the shift into No Devolucion and its art almost like a companion piece. The art for No Devolucion has that barren, wide open starkness to it, but it's less severe than that would have it imply. There are still edges, but for the most part, it's just consumed by the wide openness of it all. It also works as a nice call back to the Full Collapse album art, which I think is their third best behind these two. I don't know if they were aware No Dev would be their last album for a minute but it's really good bookends on their part. Not to discount Waiting, but it seems to me, someone who knows about their career retroactively, that Full Collapse was when everyone REALLY noticed them -- it was the start in terms of having momentum. Anyway, the art for CE and ND just do an excellent job at matching the contents. Good shit.

 

I just realized "The needle and the damage done" from Understanding In A Car Crash is a Nirvana reference

 

oh yeah I guess that would fit in with the twilight world in blue and white line if it's a reference to Nevermind maybe

 

I'm pretty sure it's a Neil Young reference.

 

the knife reference on last call >

 

its a double reference then, because Nirvana have a compilation named after that and I believe a song lyrics. Geoff is a HUGE Nirvana fan so its probably an upturned reference to both of them. Pretty cool

 

Nice! Didn't realize there was a video of the actual first show, too. Fucking chills @ 2:50-ish

 

Listening to the ACBTLD demos (shout out to the people who helped!) I like these so far (this is my first listen) and I'm sad that there's no "K-I-S-S I'm in distress" line so far I literally love that line so much

 

Eh. I personally think that's a stretch. The song is one of Neil Young's greatest hits, which many artists have covered, and since Cobain was a massive Neil Young fan, I'm sure that's the origin for him too. For Geoff, I'd be completely, completely surprised if the inspiration didn't come directly from the Neil Young song, especially given its fame.
