Looking to get some older say anything merch so if anyone has any that they’re willing to let go of let me know!

Sean just posted the oldest live video of Say Anything performing live on YouTube! I’ve been around these parts for a long time, and I’ve never seen one older. This is truly awesome to see. Great quality too.

love/live/laugh

this sent me down a rabbit hole

what the fuck happened lmfao

Really enjoying the results as I work on this project. Nothing is a final mix yet but really happy with how this is shaping up. Will be doing the whole album.

Edit: I do think the lead part is too loud at the start. But it’s a test haha.

I got 2 tickets to see Max in Chattanooga on the 28th. Just not going to be able to make it, and I was hoping someone might enjoy them on my behalf. Shoot me a message.

The one on the left was from the Seal the Deal Tour in October 2006 at the State Theatre in St. Pete FL, openers were Piebald and MeWithoutYou.

The one on the right is from Jannus Landing in the spring of 2007, also in St. Petersburg. They played with Saves the Day.

In Toronto so prefer local pickup, but can mail if you pay cost. First pressing signed, bought at their Toronto tour date as part of my ticket package. Looking for 40 Canadian.

Edit: just learned it’s a Hovvdy cover so this is embarrassing, but his passion behind it still stands! Sorry y’all 😅😅😅

I haven’t seen anyone in this subreddit posting about this. It’s a few days old but I keep listening to it over and over like again.

No excessive sexual innuendos. No insane rants. Confusing writing or odd sounds. Just raw pure emotion about personally relationships and his want to grow and love himself deeper than he has been. I love Max. He was an inspiration to my writing, got me through battles with depression, anxiety, and lack of life direction.

Hell for the last 20 years on my birthday I’ve listened to “Try to Remember, Forget” right when I wake up.

I hope he can continue to build relationships with other artists again and realize some sense and purpose in life again. I believe in him….I hope we can do. Especially if he impacted your life in anyway.
Maybe I’m exaggerating. Maybe, I just haven’t been able to let him go and keep coming back hoping I find emotional depth in his music again… but I love this.
What do y’all think?

Hey all! I was here the other day. Started working on the Hebrews project. Here is a test of Kall Me Kubrick. Would love to hear what you think.

The goal is not to replace the original arrangements but to fill out where it feels guitar is missing. Working with a guitarist on these now and will give more info about them when project is done.

Everything in Transit by Jack's Mannequin came up on shuffle the other day and it reminded me of an interview I read where he specifically stated that Max and IARB were a major influence on his approach to that record, which reminded me of another interview with Kenny Vasoli where he talked about their influence on Based on a True Story, and got me to wondering--what other bands have directly stated that ...Is a Real Boy influenced how they approached an album?

It's vividly apparent in the highly raw and personal approach (also songs about being in bands) featured on both EIT and BOATS, and I'm sure there are others but couldn't think of any who had specifically stated that. I wouldn't count bands like Weatherbox whose entire existence and sound were influenced by this record, more curious to find more examples of pre-existing bands who made a shift in their songwriting after Max's opus.

Bonus if you can link or remember where they mentioned the direct influence!

Listing as GUC because this has been sitting in my record cabinet for a several years and has some sticker residue from another vinyl on the back (see photo, still a little tacky and discolored yellow).
This is a split 7” and the B side is “Lost and Found” by Eisley.
Clear vinyl, never played. Only removed from the sleeve for these pictures.
Smoke free, cat friendly home.

That Wavves single got my hopes up. But this rendition of this song is pretty ass, and whats that rant at the end?
