thanks chris, but i have the album, i just wondered if that was an online mp3 of kick the tragedy. and if it was, i wanted to bring it to everyones attention so that they could listen to it and discover how great it is

Like a public service announcement?

You HAVE to listen, Ally, or he'll kill you etc.

Does anyone know what that girl is talking about during that break near the end of the song?

surfing i think.

I thought it was death. But maybe that's just because of the title.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't remember its been about 10 years since I last heard it....time to dig it out of the archives.

I think it was the first time I realized I could change the world, or at least change the way my sister hit the clock on every tick just to see what would happen. The time was really flowing by I guess and it's hard to think of the way it might have been or remember really specifically the words and all the rest of it. I was down, more than I'll ever be probably, that has more to do with it altogether. Like the orange trees in the backyard and it's Easter and it just won't end. Fucking Phil, he's off on his board somewhere and I'm just sitting here getting more and more lost with everything. That is the thing about it, it's not as if a cousin had promised something and taken it away. It was like nobody could share my so-called dreams which really meant none of it was happening. And that reach around midnight left just about that, nothing. There's not anything particular about it either and I think that the whole thing gets vaguer every second. But I am too and there's nothing wrong with that. It's even funny when I stop and realize I'm just nineteen, how serious can anything be anyway? Not very.

Shit. I haven't listened to this album in probably about 8 years. Time to get re-acquainted.

Thanks for the lyrics! Though I still don't really know what she's talking about.

I was hoping this thread was about the Drop Nineteens. I was in love with these folks back when I was about 16. Delaware is one of my top 30 favourite albums of all time. I even used Crayola fabric crayons
to fashion my pretty little self a Drop Nineteens t-shirt--unfortunately the shirt met its demise at a Porno for Pyros show during which someone of little intelligence jumped feet-first off the balcony, landing on a fellow next to me. I had to use my beautiful creation to mop up the poor soul's blood. Wow. That's a pretty awful story. Why do I tell these things anyway?

I never even realized anybody else liked them until they were mentioned on ILM.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

They belong on a "bands that made one genius album and then immediately turned to poo" thread.

I like the National Coma record a lot too, although I don't even really think of the two as being records by the same band.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, and that one Hot Rod record was good-ish too.

two years pass...

This and the Pale Saints "Half Life Remembered" = nostalgia

i was playing this just the other day because one of the new camera obscura songs they did at the Spitz reminded me of it.

and half life is a pretty much perfect ep and it always puzzled me why they had to go and rerecord almost all of it on other releases.
