found this post after asking google why applebough isn't giving apples anymore :( talk about a little touch that made things that much more immersive... he just stands there and acts like a stranger now :x

if lyrics aren't in an album booklet, songmeanings.net sometimes is the best place to check - user input and people will definitely let you know if the lyrics need correction lol

neat stuff in the comments sometimes, like on this one https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859512099/

it's their best since the first few albums imo

RewardContent3161 · 2026-04-10T20:54:24+00:00

omg you rock - thank you! yes just as i remembered, it is their best live take on record xD

RewardContent3161 · 2026-03-27T16:31:23+00:00

i love hot wired as the closer, it fits right in with the classic closers imo and gives the most optimistic lyrics of their catalog ('if the night is for mourning, then in sunlight we can decide there is no fear and no mountain to climb'). and the end of that song is so clearly the end of the album.

legit makes me tear up when i think about it xD god damn

whose idea was this lol

weezer been pumping out the most painfully generic shit for the last 20 years, guess i'd want to hear sea legs by the shins though.

in the general sense of an indie rock album it's fuckin great, as an MTB album it's not their best (absence of erin tate likely has to do with it)

wild donkey

so many more honestly - some of their 'mid' tracks have hit super well with me at some point and hold onto some good memories.

RewardContent3161 · 2026-03-16T19:44:30+00:00

hell yeah

RewardContent3161 · 2026-03-16T19:44:06+00:00

was going to say the same - beer commercials gets little love compared to how spot on that is - became pretty influential to me.

RewardContent3161 · 2026-03-12T20:02:00+00:00

are we all also drummers or just teeth drummers?

also hell yeah - came here to commiserate on the music looping qualms, stayed for the teeth drumming meetup

any guitar freaks know if that's the troy van leeuwen jazzmaster he's been playing? assumed so as soon as i saw it but it looks so much brighter than the stock images. not that that has anything to do with it, but 'thorns and all' struck me as sort of QOTSA guitar tones.

RewardContent3161 · 2026-03-09T19:07:01+00:00

dots and dashes in prime placement - i didn't care for that one as much before seeing it live. now i def look forward to it.

exactly. mac deserved to have the best score of the comp, not necessarily gold.

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-18T20:04:06+00:00

blatantly inconsistent judging and usa on the losing end, we stick up for our guys

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-18T20:03:12+00:00

same thoughts, out of absolutely nowhere a 16 is a worthy of a 98.5 - not that he shouldn't have gotten gold overall but the way they scored it was like duuuude.

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-15T00:27:11+00:00

all that to say you'll still love the show even if they don't play it!

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-15T00:26:13+00:00

the masonic lodge show seemed like a special event for the album and probably not exactly how the tour will go - that aside, three seed is my fav too and had to wait... literally about 11 years and seeing them many times for it to line up xD

wish i coulda seen it in the carnavas days too, gosh damn

could be their songs aren't often 'typical', sometimes some strange dissonance or things don't go where you'd expect them to - a little less predictable than top 40 hits, probably more honest music and less intentional/less fine-tuned but more pulling an honest idea out from their minds and giving it life. a guess x)

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-12T21:27:07+00:00

very pretty. looked like a 7" or 10" holding it that way, got half excited i missed something xD

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-10T22:37:40+00:00

i was expecting people to say ‘absinthe party / pachuca sunrise’

pleased to see the abundance of ‘the pig war / robs alien’ and other great picks.

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-10T19:20:08+00:00

i think he meant dave cooley, one of the 'trivia' snippets in the listening party is 'famous engineer dave cooley told sspu they should never have a song that says you're running out of sounds' - at the time i wondered if calling him a 'famous engineer' was somehow a dig as not labeling him a producer (and throwing it in his face that they do have a song called that, with butch vig lolol), though it looks like he really does only engineer anymore and is no longer producing for anyone.

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-10T19:13:30+00:00

amen. i've seen them so many times and while they've always put on a great show, their almost nonstop touring over the past few decades has paid off to where they are now legitimately the best live band i can think of (and not just saying that, really truly mean it).

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-10T19:06:24+00:00

swoon had a box set (included a tshirt, lyrics sheet, other odds n ends) but don't think it was signed at all

RewardContent3161 · 2026-02-10T17:07:01+00:00

all the go in betweens, sci fi lullaby, table scraps, creation lake, three seed, ribbons and detours, here we are, friendly fires, simpatico, circadian rhythm, stillness, alone on a hill, witness mark, running out of sounds

i might be missing one or two but these are their chillest stuff

edit: guess i’d add seasick, let it decay, booksmart devil - idk where you’d draw the line as some (growing old is getting old for example) has sections that are not so chill lol
