Arizonan pop-rock stalwarts Jimmy Eat World have come to the end of their contract with Interscope Records and are now free agents. Despite the fact that they technically had one album left on their deal following 2007's Chase This Light, the band revealed that they are now back to being an unsigned entity.

“This is the strangest bathroom I’ve ever been in.”I’m not one for urinal conversation, as a rule, but I have to be polite, too.“I’m sure I’ve been in stranger,” I reply. “But I can’t remember when.”He laughs. “You like Jimmy?”“Yep.” I say.“You better.

It's been quite a while but I don't know if anyone even checks this thing anymore so it's not like I'm disappointing anybody by not writing. So here's the update. For said update, let us flash back to an age when Nathan was quite a different chap. In 2001 I had no idea what good music was. I was a freshman in high school and the only CDs I had purchased at the time were the Star Wars soundtrack...
Sooo after Futures came out in '04, My "Jimmy Ears" were molded to a newer, stronger, more refined Jim and Crew and I liked it. Not to say that Clarity and the fine pieces of work before and after it weren't great as well, but Futures brought in a new era, and so in that tradition, Chase This Light enters the collection. I have yet to sit down and have a "session" with this album as I like to c...
Jimmy Eat World"Chase the Light"Pretty good..."Stuck in 2001?"What is subjectivity? I was thinking about that the other day. The Oxford American dictionary defines “subjective” as an adjective that is “based on or influenced by personal feelings, opinions, or tastes.” To you, for example, this is just another album review. To me, however, a review is like Lindsay Lohan’s rehab stints: I
this is an older track and i've always liked it, but not the way i like it now. i find myself blasting it in my car all the time lately and it's because of the lyrics. "you know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in... just be yourself, it doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else... after a while everything will be alright..." i love that! :) so for all the ladies our...
Jimmy Eat World's next tour will not be in continued support of their last album 2007's Chasing Lions. Nor will it be in support of a new album. Jimmy Eat World are going ten years back, getting back on the road in support of their 1999 classic Clarity. While some 17 bands, from Fall Out Boy to Yellowcard, cited this album as a major influence, which basically means Jimmy Eat World inspired emo...
I don't often look to pop music for wisdom. A quick listen to most of the drivel that's being shoveled out there is enough to let anyone know that what sells tends to lean towards the banal and vaccuous, and yet the masses today eat it up and come back hungry for more. Still, there are songs whose lyrics strike a tone with me and really make me think. This is one of them. Normally, I wouldn...
