Say Anything....

Blah. Yeah. Pretty much what I was expecting but less than I was hoping for. I figured it would at least be full-band acoustic stuff with decent production (think Incubus acoustic) so it wouldn't be exactly the same as all the other live, solo performances I've heard of these songs way too many times...but it wasn't. Just Max and his one guitar strumming away, the single undistorted guitar sounding a bit awkward in certain parts, and the vocals varying melody and rhythm from the recorded versions ever so slightly.

Did you hear the acoustic version of "Woe" from Punk Goes Acoustic 2? It had a few interesting piano parts and nice production....but like you and Jeff said...we've been hearing these songs for nearly 4 years now. Even an interesting acoustic recording will only hold my attention for a few minutes.

Ooh, no I haven't. I'd check it out...but I'm not THAT interested. If it's free and easily available online, sure. Otherwise...meh.

Now that was interesting. I like it a lot.

I'm not sure if this is old news, but according to their website In Defense of the Genre is set to release on Oct. 23 now.

I read that too. I also read...

The first single should be released either at the end of September or at the beginning of October.
An AP compilation will have "Walk Through Hell" on it. I'm not sure if its a new version, but its almost certainly a cleaned up version.
Max is singing backup on New Found Glory's cover of "Crazy for You" on their new CD which comes out tomorrow. You can here it here.

I am very excited.

It appears to be a new version entirely. There's a brief clip you can listen to on the comp's Myspace (I don't remember the URL, but it's linked to in the Say Anything bulletins).

Yeah I heard it, but I didn't want to jump to any conclusions based off a 30 second streamed clip.

I'm going to see Max and Co. with Hellogoodbye in a few weeks!

**Skeeter** · 09-20-2007, 12:17 PM

You lucky bum. They're coming to Seattle but not on a day that I can go. I've been to two of their shows and they were two of the best shows I have ever been to. That was a poorly constructed sentence, but it gets my point across: I love their live shows and I want to see them again.

natedawg5280 · 09-20-2007, 07:13 PM

I saw them in concert with mewithoutyou.

It was an awesome show in a tiny bar. I love them.
