We coulda just stopped this thread after this comment.
Though the idea of a Mutt produced JEW record is kinda novel, I think they'd need to revisit their songwriting before committing to it. Well-polished turds and all that.
Maybe if the dude took a hiatus and got accepted to Harvard...

I wouldn't mind Jim Adkins coming to school.
My lunch with Rivers Cuomo was totally akward, but when I met Jim Adkins he was rather pleasant!

About 50% of Futures is really good, I think; some of the rest is very meh.

I thought 'Clarity' was excellent but the last one didn't do much for me, although I tried and tried because apparently I was missing out on something, according to some.
I bought 'Futures' cos I couldn't find anything else at the time. I played it twice and thought it was flaccid awfulness to the extreme. Something was telling me to persist, which I did, and it's becoming worthwhile with its hooks and harmonies. Yeah, so what, it's 'nice' but sometimes that suits.
Not really bothered by bad names and bad haircuts. I find it's the music that counts.
Who did the song " If Jimmy ate the world I'd be pretty pissed off" Made me laugh anyhow.

These guys went the same way as The Promise Ring for me. I had them on a pedestal and then they blew it. All their songs sound too similar now and they seem to have replaced their authenticity with production.

I think "Praise Chorus" is the one that cites the other lyrics -- "Crimson and Clover"; The first song from "Nothing Feels Good" by The Promise Ring; "Don't Let's Start" by They Might be Giants.

Mostly he just talked about how he really liked meditation, and a bit about Boston bands that were around when he first went to school. Nice enough guy, just impossible to get him to say anything really. Shy in a way that unnerves.
