Who knew they had ten songs?

What are you talking about Alex? These guys are going to be the shit on ILM in 2014.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Sunday, 22 June 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

We really have run out of bands. I'm going to start a 3EB POX.

They'll always be better than Weezer at the least.

If you say that in a restaurant in NYC, I am so going to sigh, put my napkin down, inch the chair back and count to ten.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 22 June 2003 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

No worries, Anthony. I'll say it walking down the street instead.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 22 June 2003 23:20 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah ... i demand a MiSex POX!

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 22 June 2003 23:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Anthony you won't have to do that because I will have already stabbed Ned with a fork.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 22 June 2003 23:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm. You sound aggrieved.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 22 June 2003 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned's gonna show up in NYC with Rivers' head in a box. I know it!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 22 June 2003 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

This implies I think he's even worth killing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 22 June 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

the first EP had a couple of good songs, the first album had four, haven't heard the second and the newie is a corker, so that's pretty much ten.

yah, the new record is pretty amazing. i don't really like either High/Low or the proximity effect (with the exception of Hyperspace) all that much; the new record sounds like a completely different band.

Blizzard of '77, High Speed Soul, Blonde on Blonde, Inside of Love, and the Way you Wear Your Head are all classics

― MerkinMuffley (MerkinMuffley), Monday, 23 June 2003 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, so i kind of enjoy "the way you wear your head", but then i listened to the lyrics in verse 2

i want to want you, i need to need you, i'd love to love you, i want to want you, i need to need you, i'm beggin to beg you

i'm having problems keeping myself from being very annoyed by this.

i still like the part that goes "woooOOOoooOOOO" and the guitar part that goes "bowndowdodowdowdow bowndowdodowdowdow bwow bwow bwow"

― ron (ron), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

yes. that solo is :D :D :D :D

― MerkinMuffley (MerkinMuffley), Monday, 23 June 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought the blizzard everybody and their mamas wrote songs about was in '78. or is that a funny

i just got this in my inbox from Amazon (you might like to know that Karmic EP will be released on November 10, 2009.):

Before their major label signing to Elektra for the Ric Ocasek produced High/Low CD, the band released a 5 song EP chock full of indie-pop gems with catchy guitar hooks and sharp lyrics. Hi-Speed Soul Records is proud to re-release the Karmic EP - the album that started it all. This Karmic re-release includes a bonus track called "Pressure Free", only previously available on an out of print 7-inch.

re-re-release. that disc was already reissued a couple of years ago, with the bonus track. why the fanfare for what is essentially a repress?

― frank bananarama (electricsound), Saturday, 7 November 2009 04:29 (sixteen years ago)

Nada Surf is awesome.. I'm pretty sure I could do a POX at this point....

huh, guess I hadn't seen a picture of these guys in a long, long time. Adam Duritz walked so this dude could run.

dude's commitment to dreadlocks is all-time, for sure.
