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...

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 last year is working out well for fans of Jimmy Eat World's seminal masterpiece 'Clarity'. The even better news is that should you not be able to catch the boys on tour, you can now witness the magic courtesy of a live album.

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 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. Been my favourite band since I was ten years old. That’s... that’s almost ten years.”Aw, hell. Now I really f

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 surpri

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 'lo...

I've discovered the perfect album to play on a sunday morning. Clarity by Jimmy Eat World. I mean, I've already known about this album for like, forever, but playing it today just seemed to add just a new dimension to it. Its my favourite album by one of my favourite bands, but today *click!* it became the best soundtrack to the end of my weekend. Does anyone else get like that? Where a song or...

first of all, I must say that this post was inspired by lemontwist's featured one. I thought she was going somewhere completely different with it when I read the intro - don't get me wrong, I wasn't disappointed, but this particular topic is something that drives me up walls. yes, multiple walls. and I don't particularly like driving up them, because gravity is a bitch and I fall down and go splat

so, I'm back at college, where we have established that there is no radio (but thanks to those who made suggestions, I am in the process of checking these things out). I'm all right with this, though, as I had my classic rock fix at home. six hours round trip plus a lot of running around equals good radio time.speaking of which, one of my local stations, dubbed 'Frank', had a countdown of the b...
