how so?

its about a forth of an inch taller and a forth of an inch shorter than a normal cardboard cd case

huh. mine's not like that... which CD are talking about? MOF or the new live thing?

Frightened Rabbit on KEXP tomorrow at 6 CST, apparently.

Mods can we just pin this?

So wait, this band is called "Frightened Rabbit"? I wouldn't listen to them with Montana's dick if you paid me.

Montana's dick I've heard provides some of the best sound quality this side of the Mississippi.

Midnight Organ Fight's sleeve is square. Most CD jewel boxes and digipacks are a little wider than they are tall. Hadn't noticed this about MOF before, but it's true.

January 24 is the Empty Bottle date. I'll be late, and miss support, but I'll be there.

Anywhere where all of the January dates are up?

this is true
but after listening to an album my ears start to hurt so i have to take them out and just use my stereo

so when did Falconi start trolling threads? weird, huh? what's even weirder is that he is judging a band by their name, considering all of the garage and punk stuff he likes with weird names. he always seemed like a stand up guy around here.

what's up, Ted Falconi?

duh

Oh, that's the LOPP Effect.

If this thread were a piece of gum it would be stark white with absolutely no flavor or flexibility.

so why do you keep posting here...if you dont like these guys stay out and let us enjoy them

He refuses to run away like a frightened...something.

I still haven't heard this band. The original link is no bueno. I don't like most indie stuff, though. Do they play like Dave Mustaine or Greg Ginn? Those are my requirements to listen. Or if they are mathy....but not trigonometry-y.

When are all the January/February dates being announced?

Also, it's been too long since there was a post in this thread. For shame, SOMB!

all of the dates ARE announced:

Jan 16 2009 Johnny Brenda’s Philadelphia, PA
Jan 17 2009 Bowery Ballroom New York, NY
Jan 18 2009 Great Scott Allston, MA
Jan 19 2009 The Rock And Roll Hotel Washington, DC, Washington DC
Jan 20 2009 something cool pending maybe
Jan 21 2009 still awaiting that offer from Pittsburgh folks for a house party. if not, it will be a day off.
Jan 24 2009 Empty Bottle Chicago, IL


there will be no more added / announced, guaranteed. and, honestly: tickets are selling fast. these shows will all sell out in advance. that's not me hyping / being a douche... if you want to go to these shows, please buy your tix soon. once they are gone they are gone.

i'm back from tour managing Dungen, so i'll be back to trolling these boards now. what happened with the PMs? they changed the allowances? i didn't get any new PMs, and then suddenly my mailbox was at 250% capacity. strange.

also... i fly to London tomorrow to see FR play the next 7 nights with Death Cab For Cutie, and then head back to Glasgow for their homecoming headline set at King Tut's. happy thanksgiving for me! if anybody has any messages for the boys, please post 'em and i will deliver.

Hm... In DC on the 20th? What other fun things are going on that night?

selfstarter, tried sending you a message a little bit ago, but your inbox was all full up. pittsburgh is mostly a go, can paypal the money to you, have potential venues lined up, etc. let me know precisely what to do next, but i (we, whatever) are still fucking psyched.

selfstarter, i'm workin with empty bottle on a support slot for the chicago bill. If you or anyone in the camp could give us a listen and maybe put in a good word, i'll owe ya and stuff. thanks.

yo tweeder, the new tracks sound good... i always loved that "anyone" song.

Has everyone from Wicker Park posted in this thread yet? Or are we still waiting for that shoe doctor with the little side shop?

Monty if you actually ever listened to these guys you would dig it... they have heart. now go away from this thread.

Dang, was really hoping for a Toronto date to be added, since I heard in a review of the show with The Spinto Band last month, one of the guys said they'd be back in "January or February". Ah well, convince them to come back sooner rather than later!

Also, that Pittsburgh house party sounds amazing. Fuck, I wish I could go.

washing machine - nope... no Toronto shows, as i had said previously many times. you had yer chance!

brobee - PM me, and we'll talk details!

montana - bite me

partlycloudy - unfortunately, not THAT cool. but now that you've pointed it out to me, i'll have to make sure they can at least stay in DC through noon on the 20th, eh? shit. i wish i could get them to play an inauguration party. i should check to see if the Scottish Arts Council has a party of some sort!

my lady is coming around to the album. she hums it a bit when when listen to it while driving and when 'twist' came on
she was like 'oh its this band'

oh, tweed - sorry... forgot to respond. unfortuntately (for you) it looks like FR are bringing support with them on all of these dates, so... no local openers. not 100% confirmed at the moment, but... about 99.999% looking to be the case. i'll give the stuff a listen nonetheless!

So the show that was scheduled for urbana on 1/22 is not happening?

http://www.flowerbooking.com/artists/frightenedrabbit/

yeah... those 2 college shows are happening, but we're not supposed to announce them. glad our booking agents went ahead and put them on their website. sheesh!

so, yeah... add:

01/22/09 Thu Urbana, IL Courtyard Cafe
01/23/09 Fri Ames, IA Maintenance Shop

to the list, and i'll keep you all abreast of goings-on for 20th and 21st.

i'll try to send some reports back from the DCFC shows, too.

We Were Promised Jetpacks?

naw... too expensive. USA bands. friends. no politics or maneuvering or anything... they just want to do these shows with some friends and have some fun.

New song?!?!!?

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/down...klyn-mp3-stream


AWESOME

hmm...

They played a FR song on Chuck the other night...

...except they kinda ruined it with "it takes more than loving somebody to keep yourself warm"

I heard about this. Tried to think it was all lies.. And will still try to think such things.....



Oh, so I think I am going to invite my old man to come out to their January show. I'll see what he has to say about it tomorrow. This might be a monumental moment in my life...........

Cool! Maybe I'll visit the kid at school for that one. Y'all don't need an opening band for that show do ya?


Nice!

nope... no openers needed for the tour. it's gonna be a couple of their friends from the east coast, and a couple of FatCat bands... solid bands all, but nothing that's going to make any of you pee your pants.

what the funt? Takes away the entire point of the song

yeah this is awkward. still, good for the rabbits.

that may be the three worst minutes of television ever

Don't forget this.......

does this show really exist?

I have heard yes. It exists. My roommate is a fan. I shun him routinely.

I'll stick up for this show, which has been routinely entertaining this season.

so, um... this is kind of funny. Hewlet's Daughter's room-mate spotted this bit of graffiti on the train this morning:

^^^

Yeah getting that emailed to me this morning brought a smile to my face. Someone is walking around in this city with a broke heart and song lyrics. Good for Rabbits.


'Last Tango in Brooklyn' is a superb song. More of you should listen to it and talk about it. Or I'll just to it by myself. That song is great. Yeah, sure is great. Ok!

I like the song a lot. Nothing more that I can add besides that.

word is that the Empty Bottle show is selling fast and will probably sell out soon... FYI.
