Agatha - Have you knowingly passed up any opportunities in your lifetime?

pokemon asks: kanto league // accepting

"Yeah, mostly from record labels. Rise, Hopeless, Bridge 9, SideOneDummy, Fearless... major labels, too, Atlantic and Geffen come to mind. I'm pretty comfortable with how things are with Equal Vision, so I don't really wanna jump into a partnership that might end up makin' me miserable. I've thought of maybe joining up with Epitapth or Fat one of these days, but they're all the way out west, so that kinda puts me off it. Honestly, if I had to pick one label we'd be most likely to switch over to, it'd be Pure Noise, but... again, I just don't see it happening anytime soon."

F yes!  New Menzingers!  Always stoked for new Menzingers.  And it’s a good song.  Not a great song but it’s good.  And it looks like they have a new album coming in October, which gave me two immediate thoughts.  The first is that I think this is kind of an important album for them.  “Hello Exile” will be their sixth studio album and fourth for Epitaph.  Chamberlain Waits and On The Impossible Past are both classic albums in my opinion. Rented World was...ugh I don’t know, I just didn’t like it.  They definitely bounced back with After The Party but even with as good as that record is, it somehow didn’t really seem to propel them forward.  “After The Party” was an amazing video and one of their best songs ever and has the same 1.5 million youtube views “I Don’t Want To Be An Asshole Anymore” from Rented World has.  I guess my point is I think this is kind of a “Prove it” record for them.  It’s a record to prove The Menzingers haven’t already written their best songs and that not only should I continue to pay attention to the music they make, but people that have never heard them before should start paying attention too.  And my second thought was “Fucking October?!”  Jesus, are we still doing fucking three month roll-outs?  I know punk rock is usually up it’s own ass but you’d think they would have adapted to how like literally everyone else releases music these days.  Fuck you trickling out an album’s three best songs over the course of as many months.  Just drop the fucking album if it’s in the can or if you’re dropping the first single, don’t make the release more than a month away.  These fucking kids do not have the attention span for you to slowly build anticipation for an album the way you used to. 

The Menzingers - Anna

I’ve memorized every single moment Every fleeting passage of time The way you’d laugh and dance in the kitchen After drinking too much cheap red wine I always rewind the home movies in my mind Back to the times, first moving in with you

I have so much to tell ya Please come back to Philadelphia This place ain’t the same without you Anna

You got a great big new promotion But now you travel so damn much It's like our studio apartment Is just a place to keep your stuff And when you’re away, I walk around in a haze Reminiscing the days, first moving in with you  

I have so much to tell ya Please come back to Philadelphia this place ain’t the same without you Anna And oh, how the neighborhoods changed   And all our friends keep asking for ya This place ain’t the same without you Anna

But I will wait, for you babe Take as long as you need to take I’ll be fine on my own Counting down the days until you come home

But I will wait, for you babe I have so much to tell ya I have so much to say Take as long as you need to take I have so much to tell ya I have so much to say   Oh, Anna

Gave you all those reasons to run away And I’m bursting at the seams

What the world needs now is some accountability, We can't buy more time because time won't accept our money, If your soul needs love you can always have my pity, But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more

La Dispute - Anxiety Panorama

You plead for distance I never change Buried in behind the brightness Spill like poison in you My palm against you Your ever-anxious days Buried in behind the brightness Spill like poison in you And it causes you to shake The shape of my mistakes Buried in behind the brightness Spill like poison in you My palm against your forehead Your ever-anxious days

I felt afraid and ashamed That I felt anything at all I felt you panicking You're shattering Your catastrophic fall And I felt long gone Already so far gone Already anxious You're shaking now You're breaking down I failed you all along

My panic grips, your own pain spills that poison in you I'm pleading for forgiveness I failed so many times Competes now with your own pain In your ever-anxious mind

You plea to break your chain Our ever-changing life To be buried from behind the darkness hides That brightest light My hand against you Your ever-anxious mind Will be buried in behind the poison spills That panic brings back Image in my mind of the nightstand by your bedside And the sharp edge you would swing to strike Would break my hand instead How you clattered all arrhythmic on that fixture on the wall Where I caught you silver cabbage moth Your powder left still lingers in my palm

I was building landmarks for my errors in your scars I was in the wrong to start I was building landmarks for my errors in your scars I was in the wrong

I felt your pain I felt my hands shake hard I felt afraid and ashamed That I felt anything at all I felt your panicking You're shattering Your catastrophic fall And I felt long gone I said your name out loud Already anxious I broke it all I'll fix it all I failed you all along

My hands buried all the bad in you My hands never get it back My hands buried all the bad in you My hands never get it back
