[QUOTE=Pirate Satellite;14959112]I'm sort of surprised to see people turning around and saying positive things about this album. I think it's laughably, irredeemably bad.[/QUOTE]

I think people are just getting over Against Me! "selling out" and taking the album for what it is.

[QUOTE=Brewing Up With;14959222]Me too. They played surprisingly well on Conan actually.[/QUOTE]

What did they play?

It's not about them selling out it's about them getting progressively worse.

[QUOTE=Johnny Quest.;14960129]What did they play?[/QUOTE]

condoleeza

Thrash Unreal. i'm glad they played that song, I was expecting White People for Peace.

oh, and maybe it's just because I'm an indie fag, but Borne on the FM Waves is an awesome song.

Oh. wrong talkshow. mah bad.

Is there video of the Conan performance?

I saw it on youtube

[QUOTE=Anarcho Poser;14960679]condoleeza[/QUOTE]

its called 'from her lips to gods ears' and\or 'the energizer' and is one of the best songs on that album, i don't know why everybodys hatin on it all the time.

eh. it was called condoleeza on the stolen demo.

They're apparently playing on some show on Fuse.... nowish.

I'm seeing Against Me! August 15th at a local bar.

I'm thinking of roadtripping to Des Moines on August 1st to see them. It's only like 3 hours away and they're headlining at a smaller venue than the one I saw them at with Mastodon in May.

I was so excited when I realized they were playing in my area and in a small venue too. The tickets are also pretty cheap like $12.

I missed an Against Me! show in a really small club around the time As The Eternal Cowboy came out and I've regretted it ever since. I saw them a year later in a bigger venue and while it was still awesome, I really am pissed I missed the other one.

Go see 'em, especially if it's in a dive bar.

In October of 05, I think, I saw them at a smallish venue but I only knew like 9 songs by them, only what they had for download on their site, so I didn't really get into it. When they toured with Alkaline Trio (last April, I think it was) they played this smallish (but still kinda big venue) and I stood out in the rain for 2-3 hours only to learn it's sold out. Have since taken to buying tickets in advance if I really need to be at a show. Then they came to a super small venue in April and I couldn't go cos I was in France. Seriously considered skipping France for it.

I missed out on that show too, I was pissed.

I think it was at the Quest, that place burned down too...

Did it burn down? I haven't been by there lately but last I heard they had a huge flood or something. I didn't like that place much.

They were pretty good on Conan. He seems to like the band.

don't make fun, but i made my family postpone our trip to florida by a week like two years ago so i could go to warped. The week we were originally supposed to go there was a huge hurricane that wiped out a bunch of s'hit and we JUST missed it. Then the day we were leaving, another big one was supposed to touch down the next day. I'm a hero! also, i didn't even end up going to warped...

Maybe it was a flood... Now I'm not sure, but I think it burned down. I heard that somehwere. Either way the place is history now.

Where do you live?

Minneapolis, MN.

Oh, I thought maybe you were from northern Iowa and just put Minn. as your location. i'm from Iowa, and I'm drunk as hell off a bottle of brandy.

Go midwesterners!

Do a lot of Iowans like to pretend they're from MN? I think us Minnesotans would like to think so.

I was just watching an interview with Tom and Warren, and they were talking about a tattoo they all got on a tour with Rise Against, None More Black, and Anti-Flag. I dunno when it was, but, minus Anti-Flag, that's damn near a perfect lineup as far as I'm concerned.

I saw them in 2004 without none more black but with rise against and anti-flag. It was a good show, even though it was actually my first introduction to against me! I really enjoyed their show.

I saw them for the first time on that same tour also.

This band called Murder by Death supported Against Me when I saw them. They sang about whisky, satan and girls, all with a dark country-folky sort of twist. They were not nearly as good as they should have been.

Yeah I saw them with murder by death too. It was a kicka[size=2]s[/size]s show.

Then I saw them again on the Fat Tour with Smoke or Fire, the Epoxies, and the Soviettes. It was a less kicka[size=2]s[/size]s show.

I'm listening to an audio rip of the New Wave dvd right now, they played most excellent. I'm very happy to learn that they also played Bastards Of Young, which for those who haven't heard, is awesome.

I'm uploading it to Megaupload right now, I'll post it here later today.
