word

duh!

i will post in here just to agree with all of the positive things posted since last time i posted here

great album

truer words were never spoken.

go ahead Hewlett's Daughter... click the pic...

poke is song of the year.
great video.

Can't wait to watch these videos, look great.

Also, that Madison show the day after Metro, on a Friday, eh? Might be worth the trip up for 2 doses of the Rabbits.

I actually pre-ordered this yesterday afternoon along with the other few singles I didn't have. Good bye money!



I like where your head is at, PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS! I like it a lot.

that Madison show is kind of tempting... are they headlining or opening for Spinto Blah?

opening from what i can gather...another sign that the apocolypse is upon us

guys couldnt write a song out of a paper bag

terrible vocals and lyrics...come on guys this band is nothing special...

if you want real indie rock check out the national and the walkmen...both of these bands i dig in BIG ways

so who is Jimmy Chamberlin?

Nick?
Rufus?
Sausage?

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one, Jimmy. Im with Nahgode and Simakos. This album is brilliant. Id say its better than Alligator even. But not better than Boxer. Nothing is better than Boxer. Give it another try!

don't be an idiot...nothing is better than those albums..

i already deleted the album to make more room on my hard drive for pictures of my kids & wife

you need to get your priorities straight jimmy.

i think jimmy chamberlain needs to lay off the coke...

So I think I started singing 'Fast Blood' outloud on the bus tonight back to my apartment. I can't say for sure I did, but I've got a pretty good feeling it happened, as I'd been drinking all day and it came on my iPod.

And now I sit listening to said song on the ol' record player and singing along to it before heading out again this eve.

Good times.

so a co worker of mines female roommate was watching one tree hill this weekend (apparently a dawsons creek type show) and Poke was one of the songs in the background...

oddly enough i watched the second harold and kumar (awful) this weekend and the chick in it is from that show (i imdb'd her right afterwards)...

killing them, hopefully

Whoever it was that mentioned a live, acoustic version of Midnight was right:

wonderful news

Anyone know where I can get this thing on vinyl? It looks like it is sold out on their website. I have checked ebay, insound, etc.

You have to go through Fat Cat's UK Store. It costs a pretty penny to import to the states, but hey, it's worth it I says.

if they are sold out of it there, though, well, I dunno friend. That's how I got mine. I hold the thing every night as I fall asleep.

Oh fuck yes. Live acoustic record. Wonderful. Comes out the night I see them in Toronto too

I said hullo to Scott tonight and said I know Simakos from Chicago on the internet.

Good gig, We Were Promised Jet Packs are good too.

did he know who the heck you were talking about?

tell me more about We Were Promised Jetpacks? i almost forgot about those kids...

Obviously I didn't refer to you as Simakos but Bill. So yes, he knew who I meant and said you were a 'good guy.'

WWPJ-P were a little rough round the edges but the songs sound pretty good, could go far / a little way.

i love the internet

So everyone knows, the whole acoustic disc is streaming through Fat Cat's website.

http://fat-cat.co.uk/fatcat/release.php?id=275

So fucking pumped for this show. I feel like my whole life has been leading up to it.

Shit is going to be loud.

hey this is really good. big surprise.

Fucking rawk, can't wait to listen.

Who's going to Madison too?

yeah

biggie?

btw....this acoustic disc is pretty god damned great.

i wanna be in this band!!

"The Twist" was on Chuck last night. Cute.

i missed Chuck last night?

I'll have to wait until my roommate watches this tonight to hear him go "DEREK ITS THAT BAND YOU TALK ABOUT TO THE POINT OF ME WANTING TO STAB YOU IN THE THROAT//....LISTEN!!!"


I wait with bated breath

HD's clearly the new Frightened Rabbit fan #1

(though you're still the original, Simakos)

Gotta love that acoustic disc.

Finally seeing them for the first time in 3 weeks!

anyone have a rip of the acoustic disk?

i know it is streaming, but i'd like to take a Fall walk with it...

Indeed. Great stuff.

As well as The Thermals and Flight Of The Conchords.


Good music episode.

Hi guys,

Huge FR fan, just joined the SOMB... Earlier in the thread people were mentioning the demo cds the band used to give out before midnight organ fight came out. Anyone on here get their hands on one? I'd love to hear some demos.

Thanks so much simakos! I really appreciate you sharing those demos.

To show my thanks, I uploaded some stuff i have, in case some people may not have it.

This zip contains sessions frightened rabbit did at WOXY, KEXP, and their Daytrotter session, as well as their 2 midnight organ fight b-sides (Soon Go & Set You Free). To make them more listenable, I took out the interview parts of the sessions and broke them up so each song is its own track. Enjoy!

Also, i'll be going to both the chicago show on 10/23 & madison on 10/24. Has a meetup been arranged for either? I'd be down for that...
