Has anyone been to the Streetlight shows yet? Rumor has it there's an acoustic part of the show. I'm going to the Orlando show, so I don't know what will make it this far south, if it even exists.

The Skatalites. Try "From Paris With Love," it has less vocal tracks than some of the other stuff I've heard.

They wouldn't play Scott Farcas at the Florida Friends tour during requests either. Chris said something a long the lines of "that song loving sucks." They played just about any other song, including old/rare stuff. IWTOC does have good songs, but they're so overproduced on the CD. A lot of the songs live are pretty good. Vinny said they're trying to get "the energy" back into the next album, as the production of IWTOC kind of sucked it out.

WaffleZombie posted:Oh christ was that a mob scene after the show. I think they eventually ran out before I got to the front. I just gave up and bought a Stitch Up cd. And I got the set list off the sound board, so I'll equate that with the signed poster. Also, not that I really know sound boards, but it looked like they were recording the show. I also loved how a good 3/4 of the crowd new every lyric for every new song. The set list for the show at Starland: The definitely were recording at Respectable Street in 2005, the night before the first time they got robbed. But I'm pretty sure the two times I've seen them since then, no apparent recording was going on. Orlando show was changed to The Social. Quite excited about that, probably my favorite small venue I've been to.

I think you were the one that was there for the LTJ Florida shows? Well the SM show didn't beat those (those were the top 2 best shows I've ever been to) but it was still pretty good. It wasn't too crowded, but I couldn't hear Tomas from where I was. SM won't play Receiving End on this tour Tomas said something about it "being too hard for him to sing."Also someone IMed me about going to a SM show, but I was AFK and never got back to them. Sorry to whomever that was.

I love One Last Cigarette. I have about 20 favorite LTJ songs though, I like 99% of their entire discography. I really wanted to see Pezcore played in its entirety, but I ended up with Anthem and Borders and Boundaries. I wasn't disappointed at all. Still the 2 best shows I've ever been to. Edit: after watching that video, I really hope they do the Florida Friends tour again. Chris said they wanted to do it annually.

Mike_V posted:EDIT: This isn't very important, but I've been thinking that we can say that we've moved into 4th wave at this point, with bands like the Toasters, OpIvy, and others in the mid-80s until the early-mid 90s representing 3rd wave. Essentially 3rd wave being from like when the Toasters started up until around the Bosstones. RX Bandits would be the closest thing to 4th wave, but they've started to leave the ska feel behind more and more. Not that they're still not awesome. edit: And I was beat? drat. Josh Wow posted:Think about the waves, 1st wave was in Jamiaca and has what we now call the traditional ska sound. 2nd wave/two-tone was in England and added punk elements to the ska sound. 3rd wave is in America and added even more punk influences and sped things up. This is obviously an extreme simplification but you listen to bands/artists from the 3 different waves and they have really different sounds. There are always exceptions and bands that sound different, but it's about the overall sound of the bands in the scene. That's about as simple and accurate as you can get.

I've liked Anthem, B&B and IWTOC a lot more since the tours last February. I'd say Losing Streak > Anthem > Pezcore > Losers, Kings, and Things We Don't Understand > Borders & Boundaries > Hello Rockview > Goodbye Blue & White > B is for B-sides > ... > In With The Out Crowd That's right, I consider Hello Rockview to be one of the weaker albums they've put out. And I'd still place it in my top 25 favorite albums. IWTOC is the only album (not including cover songs) that I end up skipping more than one track on. IWTOC would be 99% better if they re-released it completely unmastered.

I really really hope FIF does a reunion tour. Reese seems to really hate the fame from FIF though. Is Amazon adding any exclusive stuff? I have every LTJ and FIF CD already :| StrikerObi posted:LTJ's In With the Out Crowd get way too much hate. Sure, half the album is entirely mediocre but has a couple absolutely amazing tracks on it. A Still Life Franchise and P.S. Shock the World are two of their best songs ever in my opinion. I've got a personal love for Soundtrack of My Life because it reminds me of listening to Less Than Jake for the past 10 years. More like Overrated's original lyrics. IWTOC doesn't have bad songs, but the production of that album was horrible. Hearing them live is like hearing a completely different song.

I think the best album is The End, but FIF is one of my top 3 favorite bands and I'd place all the CDs very close to each other. All The Hype That Money Can Buy - I personally would say start with this. I feel the variety of songs and styles is the broadest on this CD, if there's nothing on here you like, you probably won't find anything else from them that you like. Electric Boogaloo - You could start with this too. This is probably their "hardest" or most "aggressive" album, but it's FIF, so that's not that aggressive. This is closer to a "punk with horns" or "rock with horns" CD than most of their others. edit: I just looked at the track listing of all their CDs I have (which is... every single one). I'm not good for this. I honestly think every single one of them is great. Electirc Boogaloo is probably the most "accessible" though.

I hope maintains some Vinnie has control over it. edit: Checked over which stuff he actually produced. I thought he did recent Alkaline Trio stuff, but he hasn't done anything of theirs since 2001, so that's good. The production quality he does sounds about on level with the production of Anthem, which was a pretty good compromise of balance and levels, emotion and energy. I'd still rather have the production like Losing Streak had. Mysterious Aftertaste fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Apr 10, 2008 |

The Streetlight show in Ft. Lauderdale was great. Watch it Crash We Will Fall Together Mephisto's Cafe Receiving End of it All Failing, Flailing Here's to Life It's a Wonderful Life Linoleum (NOFX cover) 40 Days We Are the Few If and When We Rise Again encore: Dear Sergio Somewhere in the Between A Moment of Silence A Moment of Violence I might have missed a song or two, but that's roughly how it went (I know the last 4 are right)

It's a very good cover. I don't know what they've done at other shows, but it was Tomas (acoustic, vocals), Conti (vocals), Chris (drums) and Pete (electric upright). Actually towards the very end Matt Stewart came in too. No other horns, though. I kind of want to see what other NOFX songs would be like if they were all kind of acousticized. I love NOFX as it is, but this was an awesome version of Linoleum. There were a lot of people that didn't know the song at all, but I was freaking out. I was not expecting a NOFX cover.
