s/t, xo, and either/or are all tied

I vote that they finish the record instead of touring. I'd rather see a new tour in support of a record instead of this 890 year AGIB tour.

Seriously, though, I don't think we've mocked the very concept of this thread nearly enough yet.

Because it HAS to be mocked.

from rolling stone:

Rock Daily Exclusive: Modest Marr!

We

One of the best bands in the world right now. Forgot It In People is certainly moving up my all-time list, as many others have said. I love the newest album too. It doesn't have the punch of Forgot... but it is still one of the best albums of the last year or so. I have seen them several times over the last 3-4 years and they definitely deliver live. One of the best rock shows around. Their shows with Feist at the Henry Fonda this year were amazing.

Everything he said is true. The new album was a grower for me, and yeah, killer concert.

He might like the Mats but for the most part, he is a gigantic idiot.

1) Secaucus

2) Metacritic claims late 2006, but I'm assuming 2007 is more accurate.

Are the lyrics "what light" or "what a light" or "one light"? "What light" sounds dumb. "There's a light, one light, inside of you" sounds more appropriate.

Following up on the version in the main tab thread, here's the way I like to play it.

[G] And in my sleepless [Em] head our love's been [C] dead a week or two

Sometimes good times [b7] are [C] stuck inside of [Am] you

and then they're [G] gone [F]

but I don't know [C] why

A lot of things have changed since you [C] said goodbye

[C] There were reasons for you to love me [D] but I gave you none [D/C]

So I tap my glass and nod my chin

[Riff 1] And wonder who you've been in rhythm with

[G] So time's just time [F]

[G] Cars can't escape [F]

[G] When clouds are gray and [Em] close, not often, [C] too far away

And blue has no [b7] value, [C] power, or [Am] hue

Or open [G] skies [F] relation[C]less

Carelessness is what I miss, and that's [C] how I think of you

[C] Sometimes, good times were [D] all we had to do

So I tap my glass and nod my chin
