No adds date yet , but SF and LA have already started spinning this and a video has already been released. Don't know if it will do much airplay-wise but it's definitely a good choice and I might end up liking it even more than Lazy Eye. Probably my favorite track from the album.

It went for adds August of last year I remember. Giving this a second chance is the smartest thing they could do for a follow-up.

Agreed, nice choice. I was hoping either for this as a re-release or "Dream of Tempo 119." Funny thing is that I think it's a lot more immediate than "Lazy Eye" was for me. That took like 2 months for me to fully appreciate.

Definitely don't have a problem with giving the Twinkies to alternative radio. :)

This doesn't really have a chorus. Then again, neither did "Lazy Eye".

Maybe if you didn't spend all your money on pot you'd have some food right now.

Being high constantly through college is about the only way to make it out in four years now-in-days. That explains why it took us extra time heh.

So I guess you're saying you wish you had taken more drugs.

Cool video, reminds me a lot of the video for Money City Maniacs from Sloan.

Just heard this for the first time. I like it better than I first liked "Lazy Eye", but as I said about that song too, it's going to have to be a quite a grower to be memorable for me.

I just heard this song and Lazy Eye a few weeks ago. I thought it was Metric for awhile (never really listened to them either). to my surprise it wasn't Metric and in fact the singer was a boy. that was a shocker... anyways I'm sure the point the singer sounds like a girl has been made in a posting before so I'll leave it at that.

The lead singer is a guy??? :o Yeah... the DJ on my local station mentioned that the other day, and my first thought was "Ah, another Kill Hannah band." As surprised as I was, I don't really care if whatever vocalist is male or female as long as they sound good.

Geez, that completely changes my perspective of the band...at first I thought they were a titted Smashing Pumpkins, now they're just a Smashing Pumpkins.

Now #35 in its 4th week on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Starting off slow, but hopefully it'll take off soon the way Lazy Eye did.

This song has grown on me like "Lazy Eye" never did. Simply amazing. I'm starting to understand the hype on this band.
