Perhaps there should be a super-reunion; with, like, Mineral, Far, Jejune, Jawbreaker, and the absolutely mandatory reunion success story, Sunny Day Real Estate. I think I had a wet dream along those lines one time. :) -josh.
[sdre-l]: Pictures from Atlanta show
For anyone who's interested in seeing, I scanned some pictures I took at the Sunny Day Real Estate show in Atlanta on July 14th and put 'em up on a web page. They were taken with a disposable camera, so they're not of high photographic caliber. There's a few from the signing as well, and a scan of the set list (Woo-hoo! I snagged it! :) The URL: http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte761n/sdre/ The show was great, even with the thudding of a rave going on below. Definately one of the best, if not the best, I've ever seen. I went to the Athens show too (no pictures), and the atmosphere was better (no smoking helps a good deal, coupled with with no annoying thudding inbetween songs), although I think I liked the performance in Atlanta better. The set for the Athens show was the same; this disappointed me a bit, although it didn't significantly detract from the show. I just would have liked to have seen some other songs performed, but oh well. It still was amazing. Anyway, enjoy the pictures and stuff. -josh.

Hrm. An addendum.. Someone posted earlier on the list and said at a show Jeremy said he was "pregnant," which was either a joke, or maybe he has a wife that is pregnant? Although there seems to be a lot of chatter in places about Jeremy being gay, which I think is just silly speculation and should be ignored (so, like, you didn't see me say that). And, on the "In The Blue" website (I believe it was that one), there are pictures of Nate with is "hot wife" (and she is!) on their wedding day. As far as Will goes, I know at one time he was married, but after all the stuff that happened regarding the Foo Fighters, he started drinking heavily and I've heard that he hit his wife? I won't say that's fact, though (also, you didn't see me say that) So Will is, or at least used to be, married. And what about Jeff Palmer! You forgot to mention him! Although I have no idea what's up with him :) -josh.
RE: [sdre-l]: SDRE Sales!
> Eithe rway I'm sure SDRE, at 15,000 x 15$ = 225,000$, isn't complaining. > Or maybe they are, I dunno. :) Oh, if only it were that easy. It's more along the lines of 15,000 x $15 = $225,000 - (record store overhead) - (distributor overhead) - (BIG kickback by record company since it's a major) = Only about 5-15% of the original amount. Although, SDRE hardly seems a band interested in doing it for the money, and I'm sure, in the end, they'll make quite a sum since their bound to sell far more than 15,000 records. -josh.

But > whoever wrote the > rising tide lyrics was absolutely positively not the same person who wrote the > majority of the lyrics on diary. sorry if it makes no sense. > Okay, after doing some research, here's my understanding of how the lyric writing on each album breaks down. Look through the "Diary" liner notes and at the bottom of each song, you'll see either "hoerner/enigk" or "enigk/hoerner." >From the SDRE FAQ, this means "/", and I'm sure there was some collaboration between the two. On "LP2", from what I understaind, the band wasn't getting a long very well, especially between Hoerner and Enigk, Hoerner did not take much of an active role in writing that album. Also, it was about that time that Enigk was "finding god," so a good deal of the lyrics on that album are some Christian references. And later, of course, I think they were back to collaborating, although the albums themselves do not indicate which individual contributed what to each song. In "The Rising Tide", it gives the lyrics as "Hoerner/Enigk", and the music as a collaborative effort by the band. And yeah, the same person(s) that wrote the lyrics to "Diary" wrote them to "The Rising Tide." I think TRT is a good deal less cryptic than "Diary," which is both a good and a bad thing, but not necessarily something that discounts from either album. Since it lists Hoerner first inside TRT as a lyric writer, I suppose he probably wrote most of the lyrics. This, however, does not necessarily account for it being less mysterious, I don't think, since a lot of the poetry/lyrics I've read that I know are by Hoerner tend to be some of the hardest to discern. -josh.
RE: [sdre-l]: Atlanta appearance
> Does anyone have any news on the record store appearance /show in Atlanta? The web page says they'll be at Criminal Records at 5:00 PM. I assume they'll play at least a short set, maybe mingle and sign autographs and stuff. You could call the store, I'm sure, for more information.

Your best bet, if all you have is a credit card, is suck up the fee and get a cash advance, which you should be able to do at any ATM. And I reckon calling the venue that they're playing at might be a good idea, just in case they are some sorta special place that does do credit card merch merchandise. Of course, online ordering accepts credit cards (at a premium..). -josh.

I hope it's cheaper at the shows, although I'll shell out whatever it takes anyway. That's the real advantage of being indie (or, as indie as Sub-Pop is.. at least they let SDRE chose their own web designer [who was better than the new one, I might add]..).. t-shirts for under $12. (Well, yeah, there's other advantages too, but..)
