I suspect it could have totally worked on drunk northface girls somewhere.

if you are wearing a skirt with a northface jacket, i'm not interested in seeing your world.

Wasn't implying any of us would try

for the record

feel like i have to now

is this bump about a new album? y/n

relevant:

"I'm doing fine," says Dave Matthews, checking in from his Seattle home before kicking off his first South African tour November 30th. "I was stuck in traffic this morning." After a huge summer tour, the singer has been staying busy hanging out with family and working in the studio on his band's follow-up to last year's Away From the World. Matthews reveals he's teamed with producer Rob Cavallo and engineer Doug McKean, who both worked on 2009's Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King (the band worked with Steve Lillywhite on Away From the World). "I've been in the studio trying to get a couple of things ready for the band to go back in, having fun," Matthews says. "I'm just trying to come up with something that doesn't sound like the past."

He won't give too much away, but fans may already be familiar with some of the upcoming material. "There are some songs the band has been playing for a long time," he teases.* "And then whenever I start messing around in the studio, I start writing, so hopefully we can come up with something worth listening to."

*actual chills

DMB's sixth straight record to debut at Number One reunited the group with its Nineties producer Steve Lillywhite; the album's political entreaties made for some of 2012's best GOTV rock. But there's also a stormy introspection to these tricky, rolling jams. "Rooftop" is a drunken, vengeful breakup fantasy; on "The Riff," quiet romantic desperation gets run through Boyd Tinsley's jabbing violin lines; and when Matthews sings, "That's not a star, that's a satellite," on "Drunken Soldier," it's clear he's standing under an angry sky.

i'm starting to get a picture of dave matthews as this guy who checked out a book about satellites from the library in the 90s and smoked his first joint. now he walks around spreading the most basic or even incorrect information about them.

North face jackets are great for when you get dmb teaser induced chills

Reading through part of this thread and it strikes me how similar it is to the commentaries under any given article about Justin Bieber in Norwegian online papers these days. Except these comments are by people now in their 30s or 40s (mostly) while the ones raging about how great Justin Bieber is were in kindergarten in 2003. :)

i'll probably buy this :-/

one of my favorite DMB stories is the Pawtucket show in April 2002. he introduced the guest sax musician Ralph Dharel, and Dharel said "you really should have been a Ralph, Dave", and ever since then all of us on Dancing Nancies call Dave Ralph as an inside joke lol

"I'm not a bad and hated man, I'm just...not a lucky man"

Some Mexican dude zipped by the other day on his Harley, and he was blasting some music that sounded exactly like DMB, only in Spanish.

First rock and roll band ever to sing the lyric "Mom it's my birthday"

it is more of a shouting tbf

or a saying, if the narrator is reliable

a complex piece

i find it really strange that frat dudes listen to this guy and Jack Johnson. It just doesn't compute to me at all.

Having gotten to know a lot of (former) frat dudes over the years, esp in law school, it computes to me perfectly well. To the extent there was a "profile" at all, it was not the aggro, alpha-male type you see in 80s movies, it was more of a mellow, straight-laced, don't-rock-the-boat kind of guy. Nice, risk-averse, usually not severely neurotic or suffering from low self esteem, but confident only up to a certain point.

agreed with that description, up until the booze flows

otm description, def casually racist too

Daaaaaaave

yeah maybe so. the guys I knew were mostly from northeastern colleges and maybe the frats there leaned a little more liberal than average

plus it's unchallenging mid-tempo stuff that undiscerning dudes can purport to be discerning about on the basis of, like, "musicianship."

yessssss

also earnest John Mayer heads

I kind of like the break in the middle of WWYS, where the band drops out and it's just guitar, and then there's a sax solo. Freed from its context, I feel like it could mesh well into a good DJ set.

dated a jam-band guy in the late 90s so i've seen dave in all his splendor. not my most pitiable concert-going experience, which might be papa roach. tbh there are a number of contenders.

I would see DMB 1000 times before sitting through another youth lagoon show
