Excited for this. My station still plays "I Will Possess Your Heart" like it's a current, so it should quickly add this one.

^Yeah, my Alt. loves Soul Meets Body (so does my AAA) - really want to hear this, but May 31 is a long way off...

My Alt station in KC still has Cath... and Grapevine fires in current rotation. I'm just happy to hear a new song from the band.

You are a tourist! Don't deny it, you tourist you! I can see your tourist clothes and tourist hat and tourist glasses! You are without a doubt, 100% tourist!
That's what this song is about. ;)

^ So you think it's an anti-touristic anthem?

It makes me think of Edward Norton's character telling off Marla (albeit hypocritically) in Fight Club.

Not sure what to make of this - it's the same lyric over and over again through the whole song - I mean, it's poetic, but I'm not sure it's the kind of thing anyone can put in power rotation

I really like the sound of this. Was a bit surprised by the lack of lyrics, but I suppose you could compare this to something like "Is There A Ghost?" by Band of Horses.

These past few days have been pretty exciting for me, but I'll take the time I say I think this sucks.

Barely any lyrics and it's just the same one repeated. Yeah... I'm not sure how much I like it. |

I really like this. I don't think being repetitive is automatically a problem, and I happen to think it has great lyrics anyway.

I like this a lot too. It took a little bit, but now I'm really feeling it. I like the production a lot.

Yeah, I think this could be their biggest hit to date.

Heard this for the first time earlier today. I like it, though it feels much more like a part of something than it does a standalone single. I'm hoping that bodes well for the album as a whole.

Is this #1 on alternative yet? Hehe why don't you check the alternative chart for yourself and find out. You might stumble across some other goodies while you're there. And for what it's worth, no it's not, and right now, it doesn't appear to be headed there. They've never had a #1 on alternative so you stating it as if it's going to happen is unfortunately a bit overconfident. This only appears to have about a 50-50 shot of going top 5. |

I don't get the song, but the music video is well-done.

It's repetitive if you don't like it. If you like it, it's a groove. For me, it's a groove. Plus, I dig the riff.
