Yeah, I was really excited about Wild Flag, but after listening to them, I found myself just missing Corin too much. Which is really messed up, because for one they are a different band, and for two I LOVE Mary Timony. When Ex Hex came out I was completely obsessed. Also, I saw her open for Sleater-Kinney at the Warfield, and as a guitar player, I was blown away. So maybe my expectations were unreasonable, but I tried to like them.
Anyway, at the time I was excited enough that I posted the only thread I have ever started here about them. http://www.rilokiley.net/viewtopic.php?t=14160&highlight=wild+flag

Oh. I thought there might have been an old thread, but I couldn't find it. I personally LOVE the album. It's amazing. You really don't think so?

I haven't been able to hear the whole album. All I've heard is what's on youtube. I'll have to figure out a way to get ahold of the CD now... Is there a stream of it anywhere? Now I'm interested again.

When I got into my car this morning to go to work, Romance was playing on the radio. It was a good way to start to the day.

Thank you! You're right, the album does kick holy ass. I think the problem I was having with the live videos was that I couldn't hear Mary's vocals very well. So now that I know what the songs are made of, I'll go back and listen to the live versions again just to see if I can hear where they are going with them. This is really cool for me, as I haven't been excited about music for way too long.

Endless Talk. Am I wrong, or could you get Ric Ocasek to sing this and then it would sound exactly like a Cars song? This is not a criticism...I love the Cars, and this song reminds me of the Cars, so I love this song.

That'd be one hell of road trip. It's only 2050 miles from Springfield to San Francisco!!
