You know, he's truly the only artist that I've ever seen that can sound the same in person as on an album. In terms of vocals he can hit almost every note, even when he's sick he does well.

I don't if I have a favourite song in terms of vocals. Almost everyone on Avalanche is geard towards his voice, but then again you look at songs like the rat who would be king or some of the stuff on Loser Anthems and it's just awesome.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

i don't know guys, i haven't listened to LOTGA in forever, and i'm listening to it right now. It really is a good album too, much better then i remember it being, esspecially when you realize that they're just a really young Indie band. I can see why this album set the record for most sales from an Indie artist

i dont have lotga, but i'd say its because of alabama motel room and symbolistic white walls. they are pretty mainstream sounding for an indie band.

:GASP:

Omissions of the Omen :drool:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

inacoma.ca is finally up and running. It's got track listings (which we knew already), some RSS feeds for his blog, and a secret section that will have different teasers every week or so (apparently). Right now it's a very short clip of a new track.

I'm hoping he doesn't have a clip of Big City Life. I don't know, I was never a fan of clips of songs, it just kinda ruins it once you hear the final version. And this song is what I'm anticipating the most. The acoustic Advertising On Police Cars is up there too. Hell, the whole acoustic cd is going to be great.
