What I got out of reading that was to go listen to was 'For Your Own Special Sweetheart'.

ditto

I think you mean "You'd Prefer an Astronaut" or "Downward is Heavenward." Perhaps even "In Streams?"

bastard_squad (May 23, 2011)

No, I only like good things.

Make_Way (May 23, 2011)

this made me laugh, but seriously, Hum had some pretty decent material.

bastard_squad (May 23, 2011)

Yeah, I know. I was just being a dick, as usual.

This. Jonah Matranga covered "Savory" at Krazy Fest this weekend and I about died.

Did you hear about those clowns in Washington? What a bunch of clowns.

I saw Hum once in like 2003 or 2004. They played some weird Festival in Alabama, with bands like Hatebreed, Taking Back Sunday, Andrew WK, and Rise Against...it was an odd line-up for sure. I had never heard Hum before, but they were really good.

I forgot about them. Though all I never knew of them was that I put that stars song on a mix cd like 10 years ago.

snowcobra (May 23, 2011)

one of my favorite bands of all time!

Thought it said HIM...that would be just sad.

you_are_a_loser (May 23, 2011)

I figured it would just be all these different bands covering "Stars".

icapped2pac (May 23, 2011)

Holy fuck. That Constants cover of "Bloom" is going to be tremendous. I'm actually pretty excited to hear this. I fucking loved Hum when they were around, but sadly never got to see them live.
