a word to the wise,
DO NOT WAIT FOR THE PROPER RELEASE OF PHRAZES FOR THE YOUNG. seriously, you'll hate yourself later. those amazon previews were SHIT SHIT SHIT. you cannot condense musical genius into thirty second snippets.

CLICK ME IF YOU LOVE TO BE HAPPY.

thanks so much Katie!

  5. hahaha well I figure that people will buy it anyways, like I do. I just meant don't wait a week and a half to listen to it. just think of it like a week long test drive or something.
    it's not about money. it's about music.

    And you're right Hanan. I think I still feel kind of guilty though.

  15. Sorry for turning this into a forum but...
    Top Three Songs?

    Mine:
    Out of the Blue
    River of Brakelights
    Glass

  16. This is a nice forum indeed. Will it explode if we comment too much? Hanan, this makes you a mod! Congratulations!!

    Top three:
    Glass
    Tourist
    River of Breaklights

    But I like a lot at the same level. It is so incredibly hard to choose. 8 songs was a great idea - there's nothing at all to dislike.

  21. What a fucking happy day! Phrazes, getting drunk dialed from another country, and riding beardy. EVERYONE HAVE AN MAGICAL WEEK FULL OF AWESOME!! :) oh and on 2:24 of the extended 11th dimension "woo!" totally sounds like Mario from SuperMario64, in a good way.

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Allie - Riding beardy? That sounds, uh, dirty.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ridin' Beardy sounds fun and awesome! Whatever it is ;)

    ReplyDelete
  24. HAHAH, 'riding beardy' Allie that is great.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Dirty is good. Whatever this 'beardy' business is, I want in.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Left & Right In The Dark
    Glass
    11th Dimension (who likes the new keyboard solo section? It is a lot better now)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I feel really conflicted about whether to download it or not. I kind of wanted to wait until I owned it physically to listen to it for the first time if that makes sense? But now it's, like, right in front of me to be listened to... Ahhh!

    Should I just do it? I mean, I'm obviously gonna buy it anyway. Not gonna lie, there's some angst going on here.

    ReplyDelete
  28. oh Tara you should know now that you should ALWAYS succumb to peer pressure.
    *nods*

    my favourites are:
    Out of the Blue
    River of Brakelights
    11th Dimension (although Glass ties with this one)
    but ah! I love 4 chords and ludlow street so much! they're all really good, well done, Jules!

    you guys can comment away and start forums galore because I (wisely) changed my email settings a couple of weeks ago so that comments sort themselves into another folder automatically. then what I do is I quickly scan and see which posts have new comments and, instead of opening each email, just go to that post. it's highly efficient if I do say so myself

  29. Glass is so amazing. It's like the Ize of the World of this album. The climax.

    ReplyDelete
  30. that's so true! especially because he does so many different things musically within ONE song.

    ReplyDelete
  31. How the hell did he make a country song sound cool?

  32. Allie (aka ridin beardy OG)October 25, 2009 at 12:19 PM

    You know katie I think you would be masterful at riding beardy. Its not as dirty as it sounds but i guess you can make it dirty if you want. and really isnt that the american dream?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yep, just shed a tear after the first few lines of Out of the Blue. Jesus, this man just makes me hysterical in a way no one ever has in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hahaha! I just saw this after sending you that email. I was out of town for two days and already I've missed out on so much =-/

    ReplyDelete
  35. Becky, I shed a tear or two when I heard Glass and 4 Chords for the first time too. That man really does have the power to render me emotionally instable, in a good way!

    The Phrazes love here is incredible, I kind of just wanted to make it 40 comments :D
