The live one is great.

As far as I know the new album will be out in September.

i love all the different versions of the singles they did
for the 1st album, really odd but strangely compelling

[numb, glory box, sour times]

remixes

for instance, there are 5 versions of numb:

numb (album version)
earth-linger
revenge of the number
and another one without a title (hidden track, sort of)

Very pleasant."

dummy rocks the house. i really enjoy how the lead singer
sings in that. i think she got a bit vindictive on the self
titled....

favorite song: wondering star

instead of buying the live album buy the dvd, it has the
full concert PLUS all the music videos.

as for a new album, don't hold your breath :(

clapping is kewl.
if you were beth or andy or geoff, i'm sure you would not
have minded much.
get on stage and you'll see how much of a heart warming
experience it is!

seems to me that they're a lot more down to earth than their
fans think, they grin and goof around a great deal on the
pnyc dvd.

i hope i get to see them live some day...

i must have listened to dummy every day during the month of
april this year... i had to give it a rest for a while..so i
havent really listened to it since then... i dont think i
like the self titled as much as dummy, and i havent heard
pnyc or glorytimes

I know, I noticed from the photos (and captions) on their
website that they seem quite playful, whereas their music
would suggest they are very moody & serious.
