I wrote this on my livejournal in a caffeine-fueled stupor last night. . .the nice thing I've discovered about hopped up on Red Bull is the things you say don't get any less true in the morning: "You know what is also really great is the new Jimmy Eat World song. It's so epic and self-assured. It's got such classic rockstar swagger and yet every time I listen to it, I still get this sense of 'look at us! we formed a band!' It's very sweet, in my opinion." To which near... MORE
The above, totally generic video for Jimmy Eat World’s (aka JEW - oh how we lol’d) song Always Be seemed absolutely hilarious to me at 7am this morning, probably because of the dude’s CP30-like match at around the 1 minute mark. On second viewing, however, I take a small amount of comfort in the video’s bog-standard tale of American High School Stereotypes in Love and the gentle, no surprises emo of JEW (oh, how we lol’d). Almost makes me yearn for the times when the l... MORE
Have you ever heard a song so great that it changes the way you look at the world? A song so good that it gives you hope, not only for music, but for yourself? A song so good that it can be a light for you when everything else is dark. In 2007 i found just a handful of those songs, and Jimmy Eat World's Dizzy was the greatest of them all. Absolutely incredible from beginning to end. Perfect musically, lyrically, emotionally. This song still sounds fresh 100 good listens la... MORE
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 try to take each one seriously and make it better than the last. Hence, it’s sub... MORE
2007 was an interesting year in music. For me it didn't really have that one definitive album of the year. That album that was 5-star tracks from start to finish. Last year that was Butch Walker's "The Rise & Fall". The year before it was Jack's Mannequin with "Everything In Transit", and the year before that, yet again Butch Walker with "Letters". Thats not to say 2007 didn't have great albums, but for the first time in awhile i had to consider what my album of the year w... MORE
So I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but today I was walking around campus--of course seeing the people who are really into Halloween all dressed up--and loving the beautiful weather we have right now. I was listening to my feet shuffle through the leaves, drinking my pumpkin spice coffee, and started to think about how much I love fall. It really is my favorite season. After thinking about how much I love fall, I thought about the kind of music that goes with i... MORE
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 call it, where I put on some coffee, turn out the lights, put on my headphones ... MORE
Yes that moment is almost here! For Jimmy Eat World to release another album which will be called "Chase This Light" on 10.16.07, nearly 3 years since "Futures". I don't know about you but I'm excited and to top things off they just released their single "Big Casino". It's awesome! Who else is excited!?
