Somebody should tell them that it's pretty common for young people to give up their ideals and compromise with the system when they get older.  It's not really something to brag about or be proud of.

me neither...still, somehow this song renews my fear of growing up :(
That song is just awkward.  They don't offer any other solutions, so it comes across as very pessimistic.  They're hurting the movement they helped build.  :mellow:

I love Against Me! Not so much New Wave but I'll still listen occasionally, it's just a progression in their sound, you can't just keep churning out the same music album after album. I really like Tom's solo stuff too.
As for them selling out, well, it doesn't bother me as long as I can still appreciate their music. However, my bf's band used to tour with AM! and he was good buddies with Tom (when I say "good" I mean they used to email daily and talk on the phone every week or so) and he said once they signed to the new label he could never get through to Tom anymore and he wouldn't personally respond to his em...

This is off topic, but did anyone hear about Against Me's private show they had not too long ago? Apparently the only way to have gotten a ticket was to test drive a Kia... "Baby I'm an anarchist and you're a spineless liberal"? Fuck, I drive a 95 Chevy Geo... I guess I'm a spineless liberal on this one.
*Note to self beware of potential Kia owners, may be crazy anarchists*..

I have the acoustic EP as well, but I feel like it's too short to really compete with the others.  Still better than "Searching For A Former Clarity" though.

i've always loved that ep alot even though its short and james tdbtb is amazing, i have it on a 7inch.
