I know I got to see them last year around this time at UofT for free but that was a huge stage and crap.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

This band is proof that punkers can be manipulated into thinking any kind of music is cool.

SumWon (July 23, 2007)

No, this band is proof that punkers can think any kind of good music is cool.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

hmmm, interesting.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

i concur

Someone (July 23, 2007)

This comment is proof that you're an idiot.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

damn, stole my line.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

I agree, all you need is the right record label and a frontman with a punk past. They could be singing gospel and punkers would think they are cool.

SumWon (July 23, 2007)

What's your problem with gospel?

Oh, and "punkers" is not the preferred nomenclature, dude. It's "punx." We're not talking about the guys who built CBGB's, man.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

haha!

Someone (July 23, 2007)

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know there were so many rules to being a punk.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

haha someone hasnt seen the big lebowski.

David_Arquette (July 23, 2007)

Asian Americans, please.

Someone (July 23, 2007)

i agree with you, but at the same time think you may be a moron.

call me crazy!

Scruffy (July 24, 2007)

If it was good.

punkbytheounce (July 23, 2007)

Fuck you.

GlassPipeMurder (July 23, 2007)

what kind of music is "Confessions of a Futon Revolutionist"?

ChokingVictim (July 23, 2007)

i don't think their biggest fan base is punk kids

SloaneDaley (July 23, 2007)

Fact:

Unless your name is Blake Schwarzenbach or Paul Westerberg chances are you aren't writing songs that are as thoughtful and engaging in your punk rock band John K. Samson has been doing with the Weakerthans.

SloaneDaley (July 23, 2007)

*as John K. Samson yadda yadda yadda

Someone (July 23, 2007)

when i saw them on a boat in NYC all these guys were screaming "play jawbreaker!" it was funny, and they knew when to stop before it became annoying. that day, the weakerthans were that day, and always will be, fucking amazing.

GlassPipeMurder (July 23, 2007)

I would add Craig Finn and Brenden Kelly/Chris McCaughan to that, maybe Josh Caterer given the song.
