I always like this song "Blonde on Blonde" that they play on KEXP; any reccomendations, thoughts, etc?

The last album wasn't too bad, the one on Barsuk, and they've been pretty good when I've caught them live...

That's all the recommendation I can give you...

Let Go which has "Blonde On Blonde" on it is pretty badass. If I can find it, AIM me and I'll let you have it.

Boring pop band as far as I'm concerned. If you want, I can send you the CDs I have by them. I've been looking to unload them.

I'm one of the big advocates I think on this board (cmj) for this band. I think "Let Go" was the opposite of "ok" (perfect would be my word) and they are far from boring. Pick up "Let Go" and then we'll go from there.

I love their entire catalog, but I've loved them since Popular.

Not to be missed live either!!

That back to back night in '03 at Schubas is still fresh in my head.

"Let Go" is bad to the bone. It also has "Happy Kid", "Fruit Fly", "Hi-Speed Soul" and "Blizzard of '77"

Chris and Cory, you are nuts to let this one go. (pun intended)

Their first album "High/ Low" which had one MTV hit, "Popular" is terrible.

Thanks, but I'll take the freebie from the Fu Man over the internets. I'll probly only like that one song anyways. I'm weird like that.

I'd totally bypass Nada Surf and pick up every Superdrag album out there, if I were you.

I'll back you up Opa. I traded all I owned by them several years ago and have never looked back.

As an aside, I think your taste has improved a lot in the past 6-8 months. There's a compliment in there if you look hard enough...at least its intended as one. lol

np: Dr. John "Gris Gris"

I was very surprised "Let Go" wasn't on more best of lists in '03 or '04, whenever you picked it up. A definite big jump in the maturity level of Proximity Effect to Let Go.


Are Nada Surf and Superdrag really in the same genre??

Let Go = great album. Listen and judge for yourself. I don't really get the Superdrag comparison, but whatevs...

The others = not so good imo, but a few bright spots.

I liked them live, too.

By this rationale, I guess my taste has gotten worse in the last 6-8 months----Damn Billy, I knew there was a downside to my CMJ/Obner membership. :oops:

Let Go is a good record. "Blizzard of 77," "Blonde on Blonde," and "Hi Speed Soul" are all quality tracks from the band.

Pitchforkmedia shredded Let Go, which further solidified my belief that they are full of shit.

i was gonna say that someone can have my copy of Let Go that I've listened to once, but now i feel i owe it another chance. If it still doesn't do it for me then it's up for grabs

Not until October. Besides, I'm all alone in Chicago. THe wife and kid fled to Sweden for 6 weeks.

I'm mad at her anyways. I've been waiting for her to email me a picture of my son on his new bike for 4 days and she is too busy surfing other things on the net to email me 1 gawd damn photo. She just logged off saying "bye, I'm going to watch tv." How much more fucking rude can you be. I haven't seen my son in a week, all I ask for is a fucking photo, and she can't do it. :mad:

You obviously have never met Timmy in person. I'd be upset if I were her.

Huh...my comment was not about you, the taste of any others on the board, or even Nada Surf. Just thought I'd say something nice to Opa for a change.

np: Dr. John
