cap'n jazz - oh messy life.

[Crixilius]

Analphabetapology change my life.

Just sayin'.

[muiscnight]

This is the only cap n jazz song that sounds like punk

[TdWpMETALCORE]

on amazon this albums selling for 500 dollars

[krosm]

Maybe its cause I'm older, but we were never concerned with labels and theory. You think these guys set out to make a "blank" record? Hell, no. It's sound and words and an expression. That's it, that's all. We'd go to gigs, we'd move our feet, we'd drink some beer, and hope to meet a nice chick. It's beauty is it's unabashed need for explanation and you're ruining it. Do you talk during sex too?

[beatles61]

@krosm sometimes. . . but i'm also usually the only one in the room

[afreijat]

@krosm the kids that are making the music are too busy to get on youtube and blab about how important music theory is, because really music theory is just people trying to make sense of one of the rawest forms of art.

[DocCereal]

I don't understand what emo is! !! But, I looked up scary kids scaring kids, and it was another band, and in the comments I slowly began to realize. .. Cap'n Jazz isn't that. ..

[ihatemyjobman]

What, are you 17?

[lukyrubbaducky]

Wow, I cannot believe people are talking about this song/band....I cant believe they get any recognition at all. That being said, I do like this song.

[imakillamann]

@lukyrubbaducky your comment makes no sense, at all.

[guildwarshobo]

A true emo band.

[yourlipsarerubyred]

1:37 p.m sunday march 20th 2011....hey you. well, i think you know.

[Tofu00]

Emotional hardcore and all of its byproducts are simply wonderful. I love how the community of 'true emo' revivalists have absorbed and appreciated some of the worlds most talented and expressive musical genres, like how screamo has evolved and almost merged with post-rock, and this brand of indiemo has grown with and encompassed much of the math rock scene. It's almost transcendental, in a way, how it balances technical musicianship and music theory without distancing the audience.

[Circletakesthejake]

@Tofu00 amen brother!

[Dhoomra]

@Tofu00 what a bunch of elitist bullshit

[imakillamann]

@Tofu00 tl;dr

[1313silverscreen1313]

@Tofu00 lol good trolling man.

[Bakersfieldsucks777]

@Tofu00 -wtf?

[Bytorand1]

@Tofu00 it's weird true emo music like this turned into math rock while emo turned into faggoty pop bullshit

[FranticFoxxxy]

Word*

[FranticFoxxxy]

@xcrookedearsx, gay? Haha. Nice wird placement

[Aurileus5]

Pure raw unadultarated fuck the way everyone made music before. I fuckin miss these guys. This music has so much soul

[robingahan1234]

@Aurileus5 how could u miss them if theyve been back playing gigs for a year?

[smokeydadj]

@robingahan1234 where can you find touring info ?

[L07EK]

@Aurileus5 algernon caldwallader might appeal if you like bands that sound shittygood.

[asthesunsetsxe]

4 people must be deaf.

[pubfun]

I think this would be better if you could actually hear and understand the lyrics....its allways soooo much better when they lyrics are understandable.

[clownhunter5]

@pubfun the point gets across, so i dont mind

[punkisALIVEagain]

Only emo that I like. Fuck the rest of that pussy mediocre bullshit.

[Epsilon15]

@punkisALIVEagain

You should check out Rites of Spring, if you haven't yet.

[punkisALIVEagain]

@Epsilon15 I will check them out right now man. Thanks!

[hellraiserheights]

It sounds like America's youth screaming altogether.

[yourlipsarerubyred]

awesome.

[dudebroization]

They shred the gnar man

[GrockJake]

"i like this part, but not the rest." "i like them but they kinda suck." BLAH BLAH BLAH. If you don't like something or see it as anything special, don't waste your life on it. 'nuff said.

[Nakedguy01]

I like them but they're not great either...they're overatted on the gaiaonline music forum.

[CondomsonRccars]

@Nakedguy01 wtf no one at my school even knows them...

[Nakedguy01]

@CondomsonRccars They're not that popular at my school either. And gaiaonline is not a school...I'm confused...how did you get the idea that I was mentioning school from my earlier post?

[itsonlyonyxia]

@Nakedguy01 jesus, way to let your music choices be picked by nerds with no life.

[Nakedguy01]

@itsonlyonyxia A lot of people on gaia in the music forum are actually very educated on music (they compromise of the ages of 18-28) ... And I in no way let them influence what I listen to, I just don't happen to enjoy this band as much as everyone else.

[YUMMYngbird]

I love the beginning, rest is also good but "oh messy life" really is a shitty title. Irony to the point of vomiting - there, i said it. No one feels the same?

[Danthedeipnosophist]

@YUMMYngbird there is nothing ironic about it, learn the definitions of words before using them.

[YUMMYngbird]

@Danthedeipnosophist I do know what irony means thank you, but if the title isn't ironic it's just pathetic for the sake of being pathetic, and that's not better. The band definitely have it's moments, but I like Beat Happening's naïvity a lot more.

[XtinwoodsmenX]

lovely!!

[GSarovich]

XD I LOVE CAP 'N JAZZ forever

[faithful11]

Best song by CaP'n Jazz.

[ConnectionLost71]

This band was so epic live.

[faithful11]

@ConnectionLost71 Were you there at wicker park last night too? I was front row touching his legs the whole time haha

[MONSTERQNUG]

we are all all we've done.. we are alll defenses

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

Chords used in this song: Intro, G, D, B, C

Chorus: G, C

Interlude: G and D, occasional palm muting.

Figuring out the timing and the beginning is just octaves of the base notes, except G, which is an octave up to a higher G. It's pretty simple.

Good luck! I'm posting a cover of this myself, So that's why I figured it out. I just thought I'd let everyone know so they can enjoy playing this song to :D

[StaleMilk5]

How did emo music turn from so awesome, to such shit ?

[OwrKeeng]

@StaleMilk5 Because it's not really the same thing.

[karllovekarl]

does anyone know about any tabs for this song or just say the base tones/notes?

[crassisdead]

@karllovekarl Just learn it by ear. That's how I learn most songs.

[noobz0r]

FIRE IS MOTION! my favorite by them

[NiKkOSkAtE]

i love capn jazz!

[stoopidnerd75]

This song is amazingg, heard it while listening to Tim McIlrath's (Rise Against lead singer) Q101 Radio Show(: <3 Rad band BTW

[elextrixtechnixtree]

dude.. best music ever. this and bear vs shark. thats all ill ever need

[LoveHamir]

my brother went to high school with both kinsella boys. anything tim touches, just turns into something worth while

[Reaper9907]

Yeah Cap'n Jazz isn't even the wikipedia page for emo, but Embrace is?

[rubberfactorytv]

incredible svounds

[Retardedgofer]

I have to say

I think this sounds exactly like Baxter

Whether this is what influenced Tim McIlrath or not we'll never know but this sounds like Baxter

[noracine]

wich "Baxter" please ?

[crassisdead]

I read in a magazine once that Tim Mcllrath's vocal style was ifluenced by Tim Kinsella. I can't believe you know about Baxter. I was just listening to them earlier today. Great band.

[Retardedgofer]

Yeah, my friend told me about that thing in a magazine. Baxter is damn good. It's hard to decide which band I like more. Baxter or Cap'n Jazz?

[crassisdead]

Wow, it's hard for me to decide which band I like more either. I like them both for different reasons.

[LogInAnders]

It's very likely since they are both Tims.

[slowfaller]

@crassisdead hahaha Baxter hell yeah...saw them at some Knights Of Columbus in the nw burbs of chicago,,,you know they have a 2 disc CD floating around?

[crassisdead]

@slowfaller That's awesome dude. To be honest, I've only seen one picture of them playing. I don't know why they're so obscure. Yeah I know about the 2 disc CD. This may sound pathetic but my one of my goals in life is to get my hands on a copy of it.

[slowfaller]

@crassisdead Years ago I knew the guy selling the Baxter CDs. I'm gonna reach out to my facebook friends and maybe I can score a used copy for you seeing how I lost mine. I'll let you know.

[crassisdead]

@slowfaller Thanks a lot. That would be really cool.

[slowfaller]

@crassisdead Alright, I got the guy's number who pressed the Baxter CD's and his wife says there are 3 left. I'll call him tomorrow for you man! Glad I can help out :D

[crassisdead]

@slowfaller Thanks a lot man. That's really cool of you.

[slowfaller]

@crassisdead Hey I should be picking up the Baxter CD this Sunday, 8/1. It's $10 and you can paypal me it when I mail it. Messege me an addy I can send it to.

[crassisdead]

@slowfaller Oh shit dude, I thought you were going to just mail it for free. I would definitely send you the money if I had some but unfortunately I don't have any money (I'm 16). Sorry about making you go through the trouble getting the CD and all that.

[slowfaller]

@crassisdead I wish I could be the Santa Claus of the internet but things cost money. haha

[crassisdead]

@slowfaller Haha yeah I hear ya. 

[easternwolf657]

i love how unrefined they are

[mresplendent]

@easternwolf657 The drumming is definitely not unrefined.

[Gnostic88]

@easternwolf657 Was that sarcasm?

[gcccx]

wow

[blackfireINSANITY]

i miss cap'n so much

[analog4ndy]

ahha are you serious?

[crassisdead]

It's CAP 'N JAZZ!!!!!!

[EZBruv]

Haha, I'd be scared to put on the internet XD

[icantfnduser1]

why?

[C0rporeal]

I can't remember where, but someone did. It didn't have some of in it obviously because of how messy it is lol.

[analog4ndy]

And you are are bolder than buzzing bugs.

Oh god please come back Cap'n.

[VioSpilumEndalaust]

I will pay someone to tab this song for me.

[alexander9213]

someone get me the lyrics :p

[ganstamannirvana93]

LOVE this song so much.

[Creoenlavolta]

This is kinda smilar to At The Drive-In

I like this.

[backofthegibbin]

hardly really is it?

[MrSNES1]

in basements we will hide

[iluvatarkyro]

yeah acrobatic tenement took a lot from the midwest scene

[Genesis7377]

my friend got me into listening to them, im so lucky.

[JumboThyShrimp]

wow. freaking deep.

[drylips1]

is this cutoff?

[ballofuzz]

If you read the lyrics these songs really don't make any sense i dont think they were supposed to but its so mystifing,right. I LOVE CAP'N JAZZ!

[GeorgeMellllow]

lol if you look at them alot, they;re actually pretty deep

[arturobandiniti]

they are poets

[analog4ndy]

AMEN

[schokoprinz]

wow, this brings back memories from when i was 15/16

[MrSNES1]

this, and piebald.

[3KeepDaBeat6]

LOVE this!

[JuracidFive]

This is a great song.

[InfamousEU]

where did these MCR fans come from? oh yeh they searched emo in google and added everything to their fav songs....

[HostofSorrow]

haha true

[domb09]

hahahahhahha. hit the nail on the head.

[Xxxxmcr4everxxxX]

cap'n jazz is awsome lol

[darla78678]

Thats pretty god damn ignorant. I loved Cap'n Jazz before I ever labeled them as emo. When you search emo in google, I doubt capn jazz even comes up.

[subhuman2178]

where did all these little hating internet users come from? who cares who likes this music, u would ssume the more the better...cd sales and more concerts n such....but i guess its only cool if its a small entity that ur a part of right?

[OhTheSea]

@InfamousEU this is what absolutely killed us,

faggot kids saw us or heard of "emos" from a friend and they took one good look, and tried to turn it into something completely different. "emotional hardcore," "emo" or whatever you want to call it isn't about tearing people apart or partying until you're dead, nor is it about wearing neon colors and having the same, unwashed feathered hair as everyone else.

it's something completely different and kids don't realize that at all.

[OhTheSea]

@InfamousEU they tried to mirror us, somewhat, but made emo become a completely negative term, even if it already was in the first place.

but now people HATE us, hate us.

these kids don't know shit and they don't realize that looking like a clown on his way to a funeral down't make people THINK you're emotionally disturbed(because none of them are, that's what they want), it make them look like IDIOTS.

thumbs up if you agree that this is bullshit and want caP'n fuckingJazz back..

FUCK BMTH.

[m0nkeyl0ve101]

@OhTheSea its hopeless man...

[OhTheSea]

@m0nkeyl0ve101 i know..

no one even thumbed up aha

[Youand1death]

@OhTheSea Emo's have always been hated. even in the 80s and 90s punks and hardcore kids used emo as an insult, just the way it is deal with it emos are, always have and always will be outcasts :)

kinda the way i like it :P

[SilentEcho33]

@InfamousEU hahaha this made me laugh...i hate emo now it's so fucking gay....there was a time when it was amazing

[xcrookedearsx]

@InfamousEU Your gay My Chemical Romance is not emo

[epetro10]

where did all these foreigners come from?

[derf234]

my fav is ohh do i love you but this one pwns also. i'm glad i found out about capn jazz

[rockandreset]
