Bad Books - You Wouldn't Have to Ask

[welcomethefate]

the drummer is cute... ;)

[gophins23]

they need to tour again

[DarthXasthur]

The ear to ear smile i wore for that entire video performance was rejuvenating as well as therapeutic.

With the inception of Bad Books, its seemingly pointless to mix in other music of any kind. Ive sworn off other entirely and am now on a strict vegan diet of Andy and Kevin.

2 of the 5 greatest songwriters of our time are in this. They should tour with two toughs, another amazing all-star band.

Really though its a rather elementary concept.

Andy Hull plus Kevin Devine equals? Nuff Said...

[jkim0218]

@DarthXasthur who are the other 3?

[DarthXasthur]

@jkim0218 The other 3? Max Bemis, Jesse Lacey, but more than anyone, Chris (motherfucking) Conley.

I've actually met Chris and talked to all of Saves the Day, as well as having them all autograph my Daybreak LP. They are truly an amazing band who i would love to see tour with Manchester, or Bad Books (Manchester+KD)!!!

[ferris0913]

@DarthXasthur I would argue Rivers Cuomo, Adam Marsh, and Ben Gibbard would be in a top 5.

[jkim0218]

@DarthXasthur I'm so glad to see Max Bemis and Jesse Lacey on that list. I was going to recommend (and be shocked) if Jesse Lacey especially wasn't on the list. I haven't listened to enough of Saves the Day to know about his songwriting. What I have heard is pretty good though. Haha, I bet you loved that video of Jesse, Andy, and Kevin all just jamming out at Looney Tunes

[DarthXasthur]

@jkim0218 Yeah i cover a whole bunch of Say Anything and Brand New on my page, check it out if you got a second. Ill eventually get around to dooing Mesa Arizona, Right Away Great Captain, and Do You Really Like Being Alone. Ive just been far too lazy as of late.

HAHAHAH! All the Manchester video's are priceless. They are more funny and entertaining than anything thats on mainstream tv these days. All those bands kick ass! Thats pretty much it for good new music though. Typical dickhead stance.

[docBOSS1444]

@DarthXasthur you can't say that, there is so much good new music its overwhelming but you just have to dig a little more for it

[SheistyProductions]

the drummer is so cute :)

[leadchariot]

tim lincecum plays the guitar?

[RD2006]

Who the fuck is Shay Carl?

[yousuperpussy]

@RD2006 i wish i didn't know this but he's on that shaytards youtube show. it's not bad but I don't watch those people.

[tornupcollegeapps]

to the drummer: OH HAI MARK

[Maxochist90]

@tornupcollegeapps Ben definitely looks like Mark. Oh man.

[OTHSFTW]

Andy Hull > all

[masterfries]

Could use more cow bell....

[meagansmith7]

comparing Shay Carl to Andy Hull? go die...

[srowella]

i think there's a lot more andy hull in this combo than devine

[llxBRADxll]

In Bloom. This did it proud.

[nmg18ismuzik]

Can't wait for Manchester Orchestra's new album Simple Math!!! Just pre ordered it!! Anyone see the Spinner interview with Andy Hull?

[wmgilmor]

Did you guys see Manchester Orchestra's video premiere for "Simple Math" on IFC? Its pretty rad.

[Kyle5152]

clearly there are at least 4 rebecca black fans...this is not a good thing.

[Kyle5152]

clearly there are at least 4 rebecca black fans...

[chaneltalbot]

FUCK VEVO

[anewbredkilr]

EPIC SOLO. im surprised this only has 32K views. some of the horseshit music on here man. i almost give up hope on humanity but then i come and listen to this band.

[Soxrule11]

Nice song Bad Beards ;)



[theedwardcunningham]

@Soxrule11 Good Beards you mean ;) ;) hahaa

[bethanysmitka]

I miss Jeremiah.

[Zbabyyy5]

Andy Hull wishes he could be as cool as Kevin Devine

[asoftapproach]

@Zbabyyy5 I'd say they're equal... but that's just my opinion. The dual vocals is so clutch.

[MrBrettlewis7]

I never realized how short this song was till just now.

[natrix19]

Kevin Devine looks like Toby from the office, also I'm waiting for Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl to make an appearance ala Lithium, lastly...great band

[danatan79]

great video. bad books are great live :D

[byuckert]

Classiest video I have ever seen.

[glitchbreaker]

4 people asked 

[mrdrstandrew]

ok, so, funny story:

1. at my school's radio station, some Kevin Devine solo CDs have ended up laying out in the open.

2. the other day, this video played on MTV in one of the school's cafeterias. (i hate MTV, but it's what's on.)

3. I just found out that this is one of Kevin Devine's songs.

it's obtuse, but it's twilight-zone-y.

[xmlex]

Go to my channel and my website and vote on there! It's for a scholarship. Be productive. :]

[danktheone]

Fuck weezer!

[fallysfinest]

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING WEEZER COVER BAND U RETARDED FAGGOTS!!!

[phillykraze]

"Later on with my brother 69in'"

Even if I got in a car crash earlier that day, the SF Bad Books show was pretty amazing and made it a great night.

[mudandbleach]

excited to see them on sat.

[ckbennetttn]

this song rocks, and needs to be longer!!!

[AbuseAccess]

bad books is so freaking amazing!

[JohnLennon100]

I loved the vocal harmonies ... didn't like the guitar solo ....great melody ...

[DeathBox18]

this song song like weezer..

[Huntertington]

@DeathBox18 yeah well that would make sense considering andy hull has talked about Weezer being a big influence on his music a lot.

[julia17long]

This randomly gets stuck in my head all the time xDD

[MrMrEdakiss]

[PariSmelsLikPIS]

@gladitsnotme Oh god.... please don't compare that imbecile to Andy Hull...

[cmtkl]

@gladitsnotme Die

Shay Carl can't be compared to Andy Hull

[Awesomolocity]

I'm reminded of the Pedophile beards video...

[seansaccount101]

[spazcabrera]
