i think this is a little taste of what keasbey nights (2?) is going to be like

thats day in day out (many shouold recognize it from KN) with another song tagged at the beginning all tagged into one big song

im thinking this is probably what they're gonna do with the rest of the songs

jettadude77 01-15-2006 04:45 PM

the song at the start is a new streetlight song that will probably be on the next album of original songs.

Ross 01-15-2006 05:18 PM

Just bought Keasbey Nights, and I am blown over. Wow.

Yeah that album is amazing. Especially if you've heard other Catch 22 first. Then you're already knowing it's a good band then BAM!, they get even better.

Ross 01-15-2006 06:14 PM

Dang, in that case I've done it the wrong way round.

The chorus on the title song of keasbey has some of the most addictive lyrics I've ever heard! Were these guys sent by god?

ThisUserIsAPipebomb 01-15-2006 06:18 PM

Well have you heard Streetlight?

The rest of Catch 22 will probably dissapoint. That's what happened to me. It's still good, but not as good.

or you go "how did they go from THIS to...[I]that[/I]?" and get the answer "Tomas left"

whether you've heard EGN before or not, KN is amazing

i doubt it

i dont think tomas has the attention span to write new songs, using them in tours, and tagging them with KN songs at the end and then not using them in the remaking of KN and instead waiting for another 1 or 2 years to release them in another CD.

we'll just have to wait and see, i'd like to believe i'm right, but it could just be wishful thinking

This is true. The very first time I listened to Keasbey Nights (the album) (by recommendation of amazon.com) I was blown away. I listened to it multiple times in a row. It's rare to find an album I know I'm reeeeally going to love, just by the first listen, but that was one of them.

Ross 01-16-2006 01:07 PM

Nope, but I'm about to go on amazon and order one of their CDs :)

Liebensaft 01-16-2006 01:32 PM

If you're ordering Catch 22, get Alone in a Crowd. It's the least disappointing of their other albums.

And if you're looking at SM, it's not like you have a choice which one to order.

DaveToopes 01-16-2006 10:13 PM

But he will have a choice on MARCH 7TH, 2006!

TAND 01-17-2006 06:21 AM

I was blown away the first time I listened to Keasbey Nights back in like 2000, and still am everytime I listen to it.

Henrik 01-17-2006 06:33 AM

WOW, I would have loved to have known the cd for so long time. I bought it last year.
Didn't you have like huge expectations when you heard about streetlight?

tappenzee 01-19-2006 05:17 PM

Nobody answered my question how they got the name Streetlight Manifesto :-(

Ok, here's another question...

In the lyrics of "Here's to Life", Tomas says (if I hear him correctly)

Hey there Salinger what did you do
Just as the world was looking at you
To write anything that meant anything
You told us you were through

And it's been years since you [B]passed away[/B]
But I see no plaque and I see no grave
I can't help believing
You wanted it that way.

Okay, so my question is, why does Tomas say this when Salinger is very much alive, but just reclusive as hell? Is he speaking figuratively, is he misinformed, or is he speaking for the future?

I don't really expect an answer from this, just your interpretation I guess

Brain Toad 01-19-2006 05:24 PM

I think he means he passed away from the public eye. Look at the next lines about seeing no grave or plaque, showing that he probably really hasn't died, but to the public eye he has.

Liebensaft 01-19-2006 07:05 PM

I'd agree with Nick.

Please check out my new website, it's got a few pictures of Streetlight from about 3 different times I saw them, plus some of other bands.

agreed

he's also "the hero of the story" (and a f'ucking awesome writer)

POINTLESS5448 01-20-2006 10:43 AM

doesnt streetlights keasby nights come out today?

Liebensaft 01-20-2006 02:06 PM

It would if it was actually released on the date that Victory gave like a year ago. Read back a couple pages.

AIRIC 01-20-2006 02:07 PM

It'll never come out.

Liebensaft 01-20-2006 02:08 PM

Not with an attitude like that! Turn that frown upside, Mister.

AIRIC 01-20-2006 02:09 PM

:mad:

Liebensaft 01-20-2006 02:11 PM

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]:mad:[/QUOTE]
You almost got it. It should look something like this: :)

It better be coming out on this announced date.

AIRIC 01-20-2006 02:12 PM

It won't.

Liebensaft 01-20-2006 02:13 PM

Quit being such a negative Nancy.

AIRIC 01-20-2006 02:14 PM

I'm being realistic. Tom is unreliable.
