[BryanGordons]

bass drum

[YummyBaer]

Kimmy on Bass, the best female Bassist EVER IMHO! Simple and Sincere

[robotsforever]

I really dig the interplay between the guitars on this one. There's a lot going on here.

[infinateone2003]

God made a rock album.... and this is what it sounded like.

[ttyradio]

This came out when I was a senior in HS .Friggin EPIC album . Every song is great Still impresses me to this day. Did they get back together?

[jhall701]

@ttyradio - They were on the Jimmy Fallon show recently, but just reunited to play that show. They've remastered a few albums and are re-releasing them on vinyl (which is awesome).

I love it. The question what's punk or not is as dumb as conservatives are. They're like music-nazis. And i say that as a german....

[GreatMoleRatCharles]

@MrNwango i'm also german and i approve of this message, people who judge music by genre are not real music lovers!

[GreatMoleRatCharles]

@MrNwango i'm also part german and i approve of this message, people who judge music by genre are not real music lovers!

[MrFreako2010]

@MrNwango I don't eye-roll at how "punk" has been used since the 90s because it hides how classic punk music was subversive in many ways - it was more than making a fashion statement, or hating your parents, which isn't subversive at all. (Maybe it's all been a giant conspiracy to suck the true rebellious urge out of young people?) It's not a comment on the music - which in this case I liked - but on the rest of the world.

[schicksta1]

Kim Colleta was my 8th grade history teacher!!!!!

[ttyradio]

@schicksta1 AWESOME!!!

[ScienceofShadows]

i agree so good!

[icecoldsenddown]

qqqqqqqqqqq

[icecoldsenddown]

Too bad Jawbox broke up. At least Kim & J. Robbins have their backup gigs as detectives' Iams & Stabler on Law & Order.

[lessthanpinochet]

Jawbox were so good they transcended the 90's.

Just timeless!

[twentyhourcrash]

hell yeah! can't pick a favorite song J. Robbins is a part of, but this is way way up there, probably in large part due to the bass in this one!

[icecoldsenddown]

Kim colleta and J Robbins also play detectives

Iams and Stabler on law and order. LOL

[JackBNimbleify]

The 2 people who hated this must not have much of a life.

[superdude593]

fucking underrated

UNDERRATED

[elmerslashp]

Jawbox is the epitome of everything that was good about the 1990's.

[BradyA1124]

Jawbox is my exact style of music that i love. And it doesnt exist anymore. how am i gonna live another 50 years.... crap.

[xTheOxx]

@BradyA1124

Check out the latest album by Medications, "Completely Removed".

[BradyA1124]

@xTheOxx i will do that. thank you. (ive been listening to a lot of COCTEAU TWINS lately)

[ZUEL22]

90´s 90´s 90´s 90´s 90´s 90´s

[andernelson]

Como eu adoro esse som.

[zebrasoma11]

Diese Band hätte in den neunzigern mehr Erfolg verdient.

[nickostolgic]

kicck ass only the 90s can push out baby!!

[TheBrentandkelly]

the fucking greatest

[mitzjob]

one of my favorite bands who faded into legend

[wvredsoxfan]

Saw them at the "9:30 Club" in DC and it was amazing! It was 1996, and Nada Surf opened for them, even better.

Tried to see them at the "Black Cat", but couldn't get tickets, and we met the bass and guitar player outside, and they couldn't get us in. That sucked.

[PhillipFlan2008]

I just got an email from Zach Barocas who allowed me to refer to one of his blogs in an essay Im doing about Jawbox and independant music! I am well stoked :->

[PhillipFlan2008]

only the 90's could have a video based around a band playing in a massive game oif kerplunk

[twadorno666]

lol

[twadorno666]

im 16 again :):):)

[replikantzero]

it is the alt bruce willis

[fooberdoobs]

I covered this tune.......

not just farting around, either........I did both J. and Bill's parts, and harmonies........this band is legendary

just copy this and search:

Matt Gurley Jawbox Mirrorful Cover

[Zombien20]

Very very very good sir. Very fucking good

[muaythai101]

i love them so much

[smickitysmack]

anyone know where i can get guitar tabs for this song?

[kicksex]

i may be able to work them out for you.

[smickitysmack]

thank you so much!

[mrovantes]

you unfortunately need to figure them out on your own. I never could find them.

[2PacChopra]

Swervedriver are awesome too

[smickitysmack]

yea, two guitars, unverifiable tunnings....i would have to sit and listen this over and over again for days to conceive a possible rendition in tabs. unfortunately i dont have the time nor the drugs

[wackiirahki]

is it just me or does anyone else find this album impossible to sound dated? play this now and it'll put today's "popular" bands to shame...brilliant songwriting is simply timeless.

[smickitysmack]

agree...but musically this is much better, the lyrics just sound current

[cupolove1]

my first show was jawbox. i still love this band!!!

[smloveskittycats]

I don't think grunge was ever considered punk really, maybe the people you know. While Nirvana was original, most of their songs were more poppish with the catchy themes and stuff, and as for Pearl Jam, they're are amazing, but the fact their genre and intention is different you can never really compare the two. I respect Pearl Jam for trying to fight becoming mainstream. This is a great band and song. Plus, I don't believe in punk, if you call yourself a punk you're not one, labels don't exist.

[xStupidRobotx]

...all the "punks" i know don't have any idea of what a great band Jawbox (and Fugazi) were, can't believe they call themselves punk when they've never heard about this awesome 90's acts!!!

[reymundosonfire]

yeah man, I think there's a lot more punk in those bands then in what is widely accepted as punk's child which is grunge

but I find more punk in jawbox and fugazi than I'll ever find in Nirvana or Pearl Jam

[blackfireINSANITY]

I'm a punk, and I love Jawbox.

[dreaminginnoother]

look, J Robbins has some hair! But in all seriousness. This guy has been a huuge influence on me. Brilliant. Especially Burning Airlines.

[swapp2]

Wow... WE ALL HAVE BEEN MISSING ALL OF THIS ... I MEAN PEOPLE LIKE ME SHOULD APRECIATE MUSIC LIKE THIS..

[shrn666]

tee hee!!! seeing j. singing into the air in the formulaic "sing to the camera..." too cute! i miss them tremendously. funny how when a band's music is so significant and a part of a chunk of your life that they sorta feel like they belong to you. if you know what i mean. it all becomes a part of you. damn. i miss them so much!!!!!!!!!

[iamiams]

Great band.

I was actually just band surfing, and somehow I ended here. Either way, it's on everything music-carrying I have.

[botch061502]

please one more tour

[geekmo]

kerplunk..how amazing!

[alvaritooooooooo]

Comeback!!!!

[zkagtrendy]

cant believe this band is from the late 90s

they sound new, real ahead of their time!! ace

[alvaritooooooooo]

If you enjoyed listen to this check also Shiner, Burning Airlines...

[mandaji]

channels too, the new J´s band with his wife

[blackfireINSANITY]

early nineties, dude.

[apex028]

Jawbox was so far ahead of their time.

[hopesfall123]

JawBox rocks ! One of the best shows I've ever seen to date.

[soma95207]

Excellent! Thanks for posting! Great quality! I wish they would get back together but J. Robbins has some excellent post-projects with Burning Airlines and now with Channels.

[EmoSweet13]

This song is Fantastic...!!*

Jawbox el mejor por ziiempre...!!*

=P

[Errorkin]

One of the best 90's bands. This is why I love 90's music. Hard hitting, thoughtful lyrics, roaring guitar riffs and real melodies. Technicality came second to melody. I like all of their stuff but there's no denying the melodical evolution they went through. The harmonies on this song are MMM! perfect!

[zachhobbs]

@Errorkin I think you are pretty right on here. I have been enjoying some great 90s stuff lately, Jawbox included.

[JohnFordDanceTroupe]

@Errorkin Walt Mink, Shudder to Think, Jawbox, the Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Slint, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub....

The list goes on.

[tlm315]

this is my all time favorite band im just sad that there no longer around scrapbook of my favorite accidents is all they left us with but i want more

[jasonant1]

Totally in agreement that the self titled album ruled. Sorry, both the major label albums kicked more ass than the dischord releases. Novelty is prtty fucking awesome though, especially the song Static.

[emilbus]

long time no se this vid, awesome!!!

[shrapnelenema]

i love this stuff

[zakalwe30]

Who cares what all you purist snobs say, Jawbox fucking ROCKED. Grippe, Novelty, Sweetheart, whatever, it's ALL good...

[zombiesaredudes]

totally agree

[Mase666]

the s/t was a pretty terrible album but this song and the ones on the pre release 7" are good. they only showed this video 2 times on mtv.

I have to totally disagree wih this, i LOVED the self title it was atlantic and their lack of promotion that made this a terrible album. but i dont liek the mtv part BOOOOOO (N)

[clacas1]

sugar?sound like...

[Beanz2055]

Jawbox was the only reason I ever picked up a guitar in the first place. So I have to thank you for posting this, and reminding me of the genesis of the years of joy playing music has brought me (even if I'm STILL terrible at it).

[paulkaiser]

ummmm. who is the putz that said j robins stuff is going downhill? First listen to Grippe and then to the later albums, much more polished. Plus Texas is the reason's album sounded great, produced by j. J Robbins needs to get his name out more! Anybody needing jawbox mp3's i have every one. I know how hard it is to get their CD's!

[moneypaperhearts]

j robins made one good jawbox record, and the first burning airlines is decent, his engineer work keeps getting worse and worse

[zombiesaredudes]

i'm a record producer (and that doesn't mean that i'm the master of truth) and i totally disagree...

[seankagalis]

@zombiesaredudes ditto...

[mrovantes]

??? this is a weird comment

[fuckingcrazymalone]

THANKS SO FUCKIN´ MUCH

[andicesharks]

the s/t was a pretty terrible album but this song and the ones on the pre release 7" are good. they only showed this video 2 times on mtv. sucked i was hoping they would stay semi popular after fyoss where they would keep making music but indeed after listening to this album often im very glad they quit when they did. it was going very wrong... straight into BA which is rather bad imo. channels is somewhat better but still no where close to jawbox

[mrovantes]

what?!? this album was awesome. The parts on some of the songs are super complicated.

[mannequincitizen]

yeah, i jus cant get hold of this album :( why the fuck did they discontinue it?!

[henrilionel]

Best band ever!

[DJMarcO138]

One of the best albums they did...sick.

[hoochie123]

theyr emo

[soreilly205]

Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Channels...every project J. Robbins undertakes is awesome.

[BobGunderson]

Thanks for posting this vid. I love this band.
