.orgasm

rob_rob (October 9, 2009)

Civil war was lacking something. I can't figure out what though.

MilesQToast (October 9, 2009)

do you prefer another d4 album over it?

rob_rob (October 9, 2009)

I prefer Vs God, that album is just fucking sing-a-long-able. Its not that the album is lacking speed or aggression, which is an argument i hate when bands "get old", its just missing something.

LinoleumMagazine (October 10, 2009)

vs god is my favorite.

justinhangsout (October 10, 2009)

Maybe the sound quality?
I saw in an interview they recorded all the instruments one at a time instead of like, all together or something.
It's still a great record, but I agree with it sounding "different".

Cheesetits (October 9, 2009)

Good music.

Ivyleaguedisaster (October 9, 2009)

Aggression and speed. The record was a bit too mellow for my tastes.

Paris_In_Flames (October 9, 2009)

balls

CrankWillDestroy (October 9, 2009)

Yea, maybe 1 more song.

IamtheAvatar (October 9, 2009)

bad songs

Mammoth (October 10, 2009)

it was their weakest album for sure.

kingkbar (October 9, 2009)

Are we getting another free fest compilation? I love those things, I found so many great bands on these comps.

You_Are_A_Loser (October 11, 2009)

I wish. I thought they had posted it, but it's the Fest 7 comp. Grr.

LinoleumMagazine (October 9, 2009)

I want a Lawrence Arms live video. A full show. Anyone know where I might find something like this? (not youtube clips)

lostmagi (October 9, 2009)

LinoleumMagazine (October 9, 2009)

IanIsSuperRad (October 9, 2009)

When you see the kid in the red shirt jump off the speakers into the crowd at The Venue towards the end of the video, that dude landed right on my head.

and it was unpleasant.

MilesQToast (October 9, 2009)

it's ok tho cuz you fucked him up like the hard ass bro you are.

Preston (October 9, 2009)

The D4 set was fun to cut. I got to recollect all of the moments I vaguely remembered.

JeremyS (October 9, 2009)

the Municipal Waste set is being uploaded for you right now, hooray for abusing the UF Campus internet

swiftjustice (October 9, 2009)

can someone tell me what the song is at the end of the fest preview??

party-animal (October 9, 2009)

It's Alive by 10-4 Eleanor.
They're not that good at partying but that is a good song.

Tim, you should bring your little crew to Road 34 tonight if it's not too collegy for you.

10-4Eleanor (October 9, 2009)

"They're not that good at partying but that is a good song."

Says the guy who isn't going to fest so he can work and go to school. Haha, sucker!

I might drop by, we'll see.

party-animal (October 9, 2009)

With 50 hours work a week and full-time grad school I can and probably do party your ass under the table. Let's not forget the 10 years or so I have on you.
Actually the more realistic reason I'm not going to fest is that the lady is living in Connecticut for 2 years and I'm saving my time/money and traveling to have a long distance relationship. We've been together since you were about 9. Sucka!

acris (October 9, 2009)

awwww yeaaaah

Ivyleaguedisaster (October 9, 2009)

I really wish I had the money for the Fest. Then again I like having a roof over my head. A shitty roof over my head...

AK3punk (October 9, 2009)

wow. That was epic. The quality was kick ass!!!

CrotchRot (October 9, 2009)

mmmmm

xshoutoutx (October 9, 2009)

AWESOME that 10-4 Eleanor is the closing song!

CBSrocksteady (October 9, 2009)

I can blame it on money, I can blame it on class, I can blame it on work....but not making it to fest in the end is really just my fault. I will be there next year (if there is a next year) if I have to scrape my way down the freeway by my own damn fingernails.

StaceyFitz (October 9, 2009)

Great music selection for the preview. Makes me all the more stoked for Fest in 3 weeks. Fucks yea!

xshoutoutx (October 9, 2009)

Stacey's thighs in january!!!

StaceyFitz (October 10, 2009)

Well, what do you know. you come here often?
did you check out that closing song by apt. 9?

xshoutoutx (October 10, 2009)

it's apt. 10 cockgoblin... and this is DREWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

this is some next-level communicating we're doing here!

StaceyFitz (October 11, 2009)

yeap, and the org will only have to suffice for 18 more days. then...you know.

CrankWillDestroy (October 9, 2009)

Goddamn...wish I was going

TeaEssAre (October 9, 2009)

before, i was sitting at dunkin donuts, shootin the breeze, when some hairy skinny dude came up to me and pointed to my shirt and said "HEY KID DYNAMITE!" he started to walk away and then said very properly "this is my fuck you." I gave him a head-nod, and then he was out the door. i then realized this was Daryl Palumbo. cool

JeremyS (October 9, 2009)

ever see the episode of Tonight Show with Jay Leno where he randomly showed up at his apartment
it was almost odd to watch since I'm a huge Glassjaw fan and Leno obviously had no idea who he or Head Automatica was

kylewagoner (October 9, 2009)

I just downloaded D4's live album illegally off of Mediafire yesterday! I can definitely deal with some more live D4!

Whats_Wrong_With_The_Kids (October 9, 2009)

Does anyone have a copy of the penetrators - basement anthology they can pass along to me. I was going through my old cd's to put on to my ipod and my copy is fucking cracked.

Lars_Frederiksen (October 10, 2009)

i walk across the screen right after the screen says "tent city".

14theroad (October 10, 2009)

I'm from 17-20 seconds with the red bandanna.

kencollapse (October 10, 2009)

The Lawrence Arms are the Robert Deniro of punk.

mikeva (October 11, 2009)

Deniro is neither terrible or overrated.

friokir (October 10, 2009)

judging by this video, d4 are sloppy and their sound is quite bad live, but boy, do I love them and this video.

crackpotdemagogue (October 10, 2009)

awesome. thanks national underground!

14theroad (October 10, 2009)

I hope you're teeth sparkled after you said that.

mknz (October 12, 2009)

i bet they did. and I guess let me respond:
thank you guys for noticing!
we're just a bunch of volunteers that do this for fun. if you like it, tell others or buy one of our supporter packs to help us get the money for tapes for this year's fest (gotta buy them next week)...they come with a grab-bag item...we've still got some test presses left too!

timahelm (October 10, 2009)

whats the full list of D4 related bands?

Billingsgate
Cleveland Bound Death Sentence
Bombsite
Man Afraid
Scooby Don't

is that it?

14theroad (October 10, 2009)

The Arrivals?

syr667 (October 10, 2009)

paddy is/was/has played for...

bloodbath and beyond
the fuck yeahs
sean na na
off with their heads

14theroad (October 10, 2009)

I forgot he was in Bloodbath and Beyond. Probably because the only time I saw them Floyd had to play for them because Paddy was sleeping in some fire ants.

timahelm (October 11, 2009)

awesome! Thank you so much!

timahelm (October 11, 2009)

wow! i dont know any of those bands! thank you so much!!!

Regulartrite (October 10, 2009)

Yeah you're forgetting about the arrivals

timahelm (October 11, 2009)

thanks!!!

Superdookie (October 10, 2009)

I picked up the Have Nots record a couple of days ago and holy shit, this band is the second coming of Rancid. Best new punk I've heard in fucking ages. And if it wasn't for their ad at the top right hand corner of this page, I never would have heard of 'em.

RavenEffect (October 10, 2009)

Fucking aweosme that they used Its Alive! by 10-4 Eleanor. More people need to hear the greatness of that band.

TEF (October 10, 2009)

I just noticed now that Paddy only sings about half of the right words in Minimum Wage.

skasucks76 (October 11, 2009)

So this is how Quagmire felt after he discovered Internet porn.

Turnstyles (October 11, 2009)

I picked up D4's Situationalist Comedy today and wondered to myself "how did I live in the Midwest and go to punk shows and not every listen to these fine gentlemen. And by fine gentlemen I mean drunken slobs with badass rocking abilities. Also, Fest Documentary, thanks for reminding me that I live in Arizona and go to school. Bummer.

skasucks76 (October 12, 2009)

Sorry if this is a dumb question but when Paddy started out with "This song is about stealing shit from your job and trading it with shit your friends stole from their jobs" was he also referring to Folk Song?
