*Co-headline w/The Faint

Yay. I saw them last year and as soon as the show was over I wanted them to come back already. I've been counting the days.

... also I haven't been to the Roseland since I was a virgin.

I actually had one of those as a kid. I think my parents got one for my brothers and I. It probably got thrown in the garage with the unicycle and other things that were impossible to actually ride.

Pfff, all I wanted was big wheels.

I think one of those girls pick pocketed me once!!!!

The Faintness that you hear is nothing short of brilliant.

I have to say that The Faint are by far my favorite new band (in contrast to the much older favorite Skinny Puppy) But one thing about this interview puzzled me... and that would be the surname given for Todd. "Fink" Now either I'm not as obsessed fanatic as I used to be... or something is wrong here, because I had always assumed that Todd and Clark were brothers.

So I head over to www.thefaint.com and check the BIO page... Could it be? Am I wrong?

Checks liner notes for WFB ... No names of anyone, Next booklet I found was for BWA... And I breathe a sigh of relief as I read: Todd Baechle - vocal, synthesizer. Just to be on the safe side I dig up some old interviews... lo and behld: I have confirmation. But Now I am left with a greater question... Just what happened that brought about this change?

Also, I want to say that I think Todd' s lyrics are more inspired, unique, and honet than any I've heard, well... since Ogre... but in a different may. I have an enormous amount of respect for his words (Your Retro Career Melted is the most powerful existential sci-fi narrative put to music... ever, not even Gary Numan could match that shit).

And, am I the only one that likes Media as well as the newer more electronic albums? Honestly I find it a quite beautiful collection of songs, and the first track seems to make sense of the initially baffling pub. title they've chosen "Grammar out of Context" - lucid to the language now, absolutely critical comprehonfusing in the spirit of Carrollian portmanteau.

Anything relating to The Faint makes me happy. I've only seen three shows in my life, and the fact that the third got to be my favorite band of all time was amazing. The Faint were perfect live. I;'ve never had so much fun before, and doubt I will again until my next show I see them in

I wish the interveiw was with the whole band, but im greedy . I LOVE the new album "Faciinatiion, "forever growing centapedes" being one of my favorites songs off of it.

man...i cant wait to see these guys again, and i hope they keep coming out with more albums!!!

That is absolutely too long from now. You must set up a public audition or something similar in the nearer future.

by audtion I of course meant rehearsal..

Any excuse to come see you play.

any other gigs coming up?

Sadly, I never make it to LA. Last job had me in Cali from time to time (San Diego, Frisco, Walnut Creek, Redwood City) but have yet to even set foot in LA. Too bad, I glanced through your shots and the band looks like it's quite wacky.. or should I say shows "personality" in photos. Too many band photos are just the standard brooding poses..... if you guys happen to ever make it to Tampa Bay, let me know, we could work something out!

for sure

for sure

Hi, I was just on the faq page and noticed that your profile pic is a little scewed/stretched. I can fix that for you. Just post the original in your pics folder, I can download it from there and edit/crop it, then send it back on your journal. Otherwise, you can email it to me and I can email it back with less uploadings on the sg bandwidth.
This is not a solicitation. It is just a friendly gesture from a photoshop savy member who feels that people shouldn't have to go through life with a warped SGprofile pic. I have fixed a few profile pics for people, and they must be happy with the results, because they are still their current profile pics.
let me know, doorwaybeyond@gmail

Just got home from work, here you go. Choice of three.
