the sound clip before tearing in my heart is will's sister from years ago... she walked around france with a tape recorder and recorded kids playing, and that's her talking... sdre signed a two-album deal on time bomb... anyway, since i mentioned seven in my last show review i've gotten a few e-mails from people that mentioned they saw them play seven at a show... yes, they did open with seven at one of the shows on the hiftbso tour (can't remember which) and they did play it at bumbershoot 98 (i was there!). but it was very obvious they were doing it just to please the fans (or in the case of bumbershoot, make the people that didn't know them very well go "oh yeah, this is the band that does that song" since it got a lot of airplay on KNDD in seattle back in the day). when they played it, jeremy was not into it at all... it looked like he couldn't wait for it to be over. they've mentioned a few times they're tired of it, and i certainly don't care... there are so many other better songs of theirs. especially if they don't want to play it that much. but, like i said, everyone was yelling for seven every time i saw them on the hiftbso tour... and i didn't hear anyone yelling for it last night... which i thought was nice.
