It's not as good as Live Ire & Song. Not bad though.

cnn, desperate for filler.

This guy is getting huge. Not that it's a bad thing.

In other Epitaph news, I'm pretty curious to hear what the new MCS sounds like. Supposed to be the hardest stuff they've written. Actually, are they even on Epitaph anymore? I Am The Movie is still great, I don't care what anyone says.

Motion City Soundtrack? According to Wikipedia, they're on Columbia these days.

i'll be honest, i'm not usually hugely into the sort of stuff they do, but i fucking love all three of their records, especially "even if it kills me."

"Cunt" is fine, but if you start throwing around "wanker" or "bloody" people get offended. Funny.
