The Bumbershoot artists for this year are already listed on bumbershoot.org. Sunny Day is not listed, but Elliot Smith, Modest Mouse, and Sleater-Kinney are.

[sdre-l]: Seattle show, comments on Jeremy's passion
Another thing i hear about the album is that aside from the production aspects (get over it, just imagine how much better HIFTBSO would be with some decent production, especially on the drums) that the band doesn't sound passionate about the new songs. I fear that with the disappearance of Jeremy's screaming people have it in their minds that Jeremy is not as passionate or emotive as he used to be while singing. Just because a singer does not scream to emphasize anger or sadness does not mean that the passion is not there. Seeing the show in Seattle yesterday, I have to strongly disagree with the above. Jeremy (and Will and Dan for that matter) was VERY into the music-new and old. I was so amazed by how much passion and emotion Jeremy put into the show. His face portrayed how deeply he felt the songs from The Rising Tide (since most of the songs they played were from the new album). I also want to comment on the back-up vocalist. I thought he was horrible! He sounded all right on Snibe, but he totally ruined One. Jeremy took the low part during the chorus, and the back up guy did the really high falsetto part-it sounded really bad. For most of the other songs, you could hardly hear him, which was probably a "technical problem" (like the unfortunate fact that Will's mic wasn't working). The show was great! My favorites were J'nuh, 8, In Circles, Disappear, and Killed By and Angel. I've never been to a concert before last night where the ENTIRE crowd was so into the music. Everyone was moving, cheering, and getting really into the music. It was an amazing experience. Tara Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [sdre-l]: Sunny Day Real Estate Listening Parties
I was just wondering about the listening party in Seattle at the Breakroom: is it 21 and over only? I would assume so due to the location... Will there be another for the rest of the SDRE fans or are we just going to be left out? Thanks! Tara Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[sdre-l]: Problems downloading One
I have tried and tried, but for some reason I can only download one second of One from the Time Bomb site. Can anyone let me know if you have it up on your site or if there is an alternate place to get it from? Thank you! Tara Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [sdre-l]: SDRE Tour Dates and a question
I noticed that the only Seattle date is at the Croc which is 21+. I realize this is tentative, but it still makes me nervous. I hope they add an all ages show for us youngsters! What do you all suspect is the possibility of that? Is there any way to let them know how much us 21-ers long to see them? I also have a question: what was the demo released before HIFTBSO? I am rather curious-I wasn't on the list at that time. Thanks! Tara Seattle, WA PS: Anyone going to the Fly's show tomorrow on Capitol Hill? Maybe I'll see you there :) __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [sdre-l]: what would you recomend...
I would definately recommend diary first, because it was their first...In my experience, the people that hear HIFTBSO first, seem to not end up liking sdre as much they should be liked. you know? Hearing the albums in the order in which they came out ... seems like a good idea because you can see how they have matured throughout the years. Like reading a book of their lives... (instead... listening to their lives). You do it in chronological order You don't pick up a book and read it from the last past page to the foreward. it wouldn't make sence. Same with their albums. It's a story of their lives... what goes on, growing up and realizing new things... don't you agree? ** HIFTBSO was the first Sunny Day album I was exposed to and I consider Sunny Day one of the greatest bands to ever touch my life. I am a fairly new Sunny Day fan (obviously). If Dairy had been the first album from SDRE I had heard, I don't think I would have been as impressed with them. I know this may sound sacreligious to many of you, but I am drawn to HITFTBSO far more than the other two albums. I love all three, but HITFTBSO has something more that the others don't...something that really moves my soul and touches my emotions. I was so surprised when I joined this mailing list and read the comments about HITFTBSO. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like many of you don't hold it in very high regard, especially in comparison to Diary. Don't worry guys! Admitting you like the later album as much or more than the earlier ones doesn't make you any less a fan ;) I suppose many of you were drawn to SDRE because of Diary and HITFTBSO just isn't the same. It is my humble opinion, however, that HITFTBSO is SDRE's best album and I look forward to seeing (or hearing :) how they grow in the future.
