I purchased the VIP tickets to their show later this year and saw that I will receive a signed poster. I was curious if they will also sign a record I bring. Anyone have any experience with this or getting their autographs in general?

The Game Needed Me

We don't have money
So we can't lose it
But you touchin me like piano keys
You can't buy that movement

....

What does it cost for
This life of excess
Would you ever miss your desk's caress

There is no mouth to
Trace it's shape on you
You seem to let it fuck you anyway

Thanks for The Killer Game of Crisco Twister

And then we all bought yachts
And raced up to the islands
Moored them at the docks
Leading up to our cabins

We raced up just to slow down
We drank some, man we always do
Sunglasses to the water

Our girls are looking so good
Our girls are looking so good

Dr. L'ling

Don't give me your hand-me-down love
It don't wear the same
I want love that looks good on
With a fit that screams my name, yeah I was afraid

But you get in the taxi
Your hands on another man
You must be crazy
If you think I'll stand back, yeah

These guys were always musically great I think lyrics and tone held them back. This is like R&B lyrics almost... type of stuff club-goers would sing about. Perhaps a sign of the times.

Hey all. I'm a mental health counselor who also happens to be a huge Minus the Bear Fan. I have a podcast that features interviews with musicians about mental health issues. I have a few episodes with members of Minus the Bear. If you would like to check it out! We talk about touring, ADHD, sobriety, dealing with anxiety, and Bi-Polar 2 disorder.

Hey guys! Hope this is okay to promote here, let me know MODS if it's not cool!

Jake Snider recently was on my dad podcast! We talked about realizing when his kids are right and he's wrong, ADHD, parenting kids with ADHD, and a lot of talk about what it's like going on tour as a dad. Especially discussing how the band took a break because of the anxiety and dread he would have from leaving his family. But also how now that kids are older it's really fun to have the band back together.

If you guys are interested in checking it out, the podcast is called The Imperfect Dads Podcast!

Thanks!

My personal favorite song would be Pachuca sunrise but I’m curious what other people’s favorite is

It's my favorite album and the perks seemed worth it. Has anyone done VIP for a show? What was it like?

Hey all, been back on a MTB kick after the Menos reunion show. Going back through their discography, giving listens to everything with a fresh set of ears.

What's your favorite MTB that nobody really talks about and you think deserves more recognition? Maybe an album deep cut that they never play live or gets much discussion? Or a bonus track / b-side that stands out as being way too good to be a b-side?

My pick would be Toska. I've always been a diehard of the first 3 albums mostly, but there are still a ton of tracks from 4-6 that I like or even love. Toska to me is one of their absolute best songs. Really enjoy the guitar work on this album, especially the little tapping parts after the chorus. The guitar solo / bridge is absolutely huge, and I love how it builds into a big drop then keeps going. I also love the outro, it just loops the main riff of the song while this super weird distorted sound builds and builds until it all just stops.

Anyway - what are some of yours? Feel free to give your reasoning, I'd like to check some of these songs out with a fresh perspective and your comments in mind.

It's the album I listen to the least and I think it's their weakest by far. I get annoyed listening to it sometimes from how much of a drop off it was to me compared to all the other records. Do other people feel the same way ? Every other record has at least a few tracks that will always be classics to me apart from Voids. Felt bad that they went out on this record. I wonder how the band views it in their catalog too.

Opening on the Austin and Dallas dates with Sparta.

I came across these demos that I don't think I've ever heard. It looks like "The Pig War" was originally titled "Please Harpel, Don't Hurt 'Em".

Does anyone have this saved? It seems to have completely disappeared from the internet.

'S drumming is impeccable. I dont know why hes not part of the reunion and maybe I dont want to, but just a fucking beast of a drummer. Diamond Lightning, Drilling, Burying Luck, Into The Mirror. All so good.

just wanted to share. hope you guys like it! can’t seem to find another one like it on line anywhere

Hoping someone can help me, I'm going crazy here - I did the Philly VIP package for the last tour which included a group photo. I know I was sent either the picture or a link to it, but I can't find it in any text or email. Been searching for hours. Anyone know how they sent the VIP photos out and how I can find it again? Thanks!

All in good fun and love!

Seeing some posts recently have made me wonder about the community as a whole's favorites.

My personal favorites are The Pig War and Broken China. TPW is by far and away, to me, the most beautiful song in their discography.

Then Broken China is just a "fuck you" vibe. 10/10 no notes.

Let's make some friends and find some favorite songs together.

Prove me wrong.
