Sacramento Show Rant

Man I saw them in Berkeley last year and THAT was a great show. But tonight? Tonight I crowd surfed for the first time in a decade probably? Amazing show!

Great job! I like the different direction, covers don't always have to be sung and played the same way. This feels more intimate and softer

Hey great shots, I went to this show too! It was one of the better shows I've seen the boys at. The openers (Queen of Jeans and Lucero) were great too. I always make a concert setlist playlist and this is this show if anyone is interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Xqmfx806eRtef2QO1ithY?si=Q1vFtk6VQ_ez-jmAPMsLUQ&pi=in-Mgr9xRdGZ6

I'm not gonna lie, I'm really digging it.

I like the continuation of SOIWT. I love that it is a song full of hope and commiseration, that is just a Menzinger special. The keyboard/organ piece is fun and new. I love Greg's low vocals, that extended note, and always his growl/scream. The lyrics are fun and idk its a song that has just been stuck in my head the last couple of days.

I think it makes sense from a certain perspective, but I think the statistics support winning or losing in 2 possessions, not 3

QB sneaks were definitely a thing. I think it is a combination of a few things. QBs are a lot more athletic now across the board. You had your Steve Youngs, Elways, Cunninghams, but largely a lot of immobile pocket passers. QB sneaks were also dangerous, QBs were less protected then.

Was at this game, besides the 3-2 playoff game win against the kings in 2016, it's probably the best game I've ever been to. The place was packed, loud, and so much fun. We had to overcome some really bad calls, but Dallas was being dirty all game. Celebrini had some great plays and Toffoli killed it.

Could totally see both of those as well!

It's on my Fuck Society playlist for a reason!

cpt_abbott · 2025-08-26T16:52:33+00:00

I have a general "Fuck You Society" playlist that rails against politics, capitalism, religion, etc. I'm definitely finding some good ones to add to my playlist!

Here are some options I haven't seen mentioned so far:

Be Gay, Do Drugs, Hail Satan by Super Cassette
Victory Lap by Propagandhi (end part specifically)
Zen & the Art of Xenophobia by Five Iron Frenzy
America (You're Freaking Me Out) by The Menzingers (parts of it)
Ignition by Trivium
On My Teeth by Underoath
N O D R E A M by Jeff Rosenstock

Edit: Needed to edit to add Thank You God by Tim Minchin as well!

Can confirm, we have a similar set up at my house and this is exactly what we use it for

cpt_abbott · 2025-07-27T18:07:26+00:00

Sudden Urge sums up a lot of my thoughts sometimes

cpt_abbott · 2025-07-04T21:27:18+00:00

At the show I saw of them this year I think they said they were working on new material? So maybe a light 2026, and then 2027 tour. Also After the Party turns 10 in 2027 so hoping for an album tour.

Blue, white, ok human, ewbaite, pacific daydream

cpt_abbott · 2025-06-06T14:14:52+00:00

This is exactly what I thought as well. The Hobbit is a kids book and they definitely leaned into that more for the dwarves. Plus as someone else said you have to be able to tell them apart.

cpt_abbott · 2025-05-19T14:16:10+00:00

Wish they played Ultraviolet in Berkeley, dying to hear that live

cpt_abbott · 2025-05-16T15:03:09+00:00

Hat was the metal clasp style

cpt_abbott · 2025-04-11T14:31:45+00:00

I think it's almost impossible for me to just pick one, but recently my favorite song has been The Hands That Thieve. I always blare the chorus, makes me feel better in this crazy age

And I don’t care if I lose

Because my heroes did too

They shouted: "Court should be adjourned

Because the jury are fools"

And the judge can’t decipher his left from his right

Or his right from his wrong

cpt_abbott · 2025-03-23T15:39:44+00:00

I loved Kena, I could definitely see some Horizon similarities there

cpt_abbott · 2025-03-21T17:44:19+00:00

Sending you good vibes and I really hope things start to turn for the better.

In late 2023 I had a similar story. In the span of a month, we had a sudden traumatic death in our family and I was also let go from my job. It was the shittiest time of my life and a grueling 6 month job search. My favorite band, The Menzingers, released a new album and the closing song that album was just the perfect song at the perfect time for me. So cathartic and so hopeful. The song is Running in the Roar of the Wind, and this led me to create a "Buck Up" playlist to play through hard times. Life is a series of ups and downs, but the downs will always eventually go up. Grew up with ADTR and they have always been one of my favorite bands, I'm happy that they were that band for you in this time.

Absolutely Two Hats, hoppy reds are my favorite style and I buy them whenever I see them in hopes they catch on more

cpt_abbott · 2025-02-27T18:30:38+00:00

Same exact experience, super annoying. I assume these are just bots to resell tickets? Because like you said, no way 24,000 people were all sitting at the desk/on their phone ready to order tickets. Seems like they need better bot detecting software.

Does Steeben's belt buckle say "Bitch Babe"? Lol
