Jet Set Sail - When I Was In Hell

“fuck your band”

Jet Set Sail rules. They slayed the handsome woman last night.

The results are in: We rule!

We just spent a long weekend driving. Friday night we played out in Kutztown, PA, where kids were super cool. It was in an art gallery, and some of the pieces we’re skateboarding photos from the 80’s/90’s, in addition to weird student art stuff.  We left around midnight.

Then we drove through the night up to Concord, New Hampshire, where there are no places open for breakfast at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning. Like, none. It was stupid. Get with it, Concord. Some boring junk happened there and we left around 4 p.m.

We drove down to Connecticut while listening to Japanese language learning CDs. “Sumimasen. Nihongo ga wakarimasu ka?” We arrived at The Handsome Woman around 6 p.m., and we were greeted by Derrick from TWIABP. The house is awesome. There were show fliers on every wall. We changed clothes and showered and stuff, and I went with some guys to a food co-op to get beer while the other guys napped. The show started and Derrick’s other band I’m O.K. killed it. Another local CT band played and left real quick. It was weird. We played and “slayed,” as its been described. Ape Up! and Cassilis also played. I got to talk to the Ape Up! dudes for a while and they were super nice. Casillis absolutely blew me away. They were heavy as H-E-double-hockey-sticks.  

After the show, we went to a pizza place across the street, and they had the most killer onion rings I’ve ever had. We left the Handsome Woman around midnight, and got back to Philly at 5AM.

Also, the weather was super nice all weekend. So, that was cool.

idealism (ideally): Dear Bandcamp,

kevinduquette:

You’re killing it. You’re right on the cusp of filling a niche that’s been vacated for years. For years! But there’s a few glaring issues for me. Here’s some simple requests:

1.) Sortable albums on the homepage. I’m talking drag & drop. Some real like, 2007 kinda stuff here, you guys. The ability…

My man is dead on.

Hey, this guys said nice things about us: extended-play: <a href=”http://jetsetsail.bandcamp.com/album/jet-set-sail” _mce_href=”http://jetsetsail.bandcamp.com/album/jet-set-sail”Jet Set Sail by Jet Set Sail; I’ve been absolutely hooked on this record. Jet Set Sail is comprised of three dweeby fellows from Philly who “play noodly beardy guy rock that made a lot more sense 15 years ago.” And boy do these dudes have chops. Their time signature switch ups are elegant and their song arrangements are well-crafted. The extended instrumental breakdown on the last track, “Tails Out,” is a great example of their sparkling arpeggiation—Often, this kind of move results in what a friend of mine once called “twinkle-daddy rock” which I find narcoleptically boring. Not to count out the drummer, either, because he keeps it fresh and that maraca in the last cut is choice. One last thing: These guys manage to be sincere and retain a sense of humor. One line that continues to amuse me is from “When I Was In Hell”: “Why don’t you go and buy a mic/so you can record whatever the fuck you think sounds right/’cause I’m pretty sure I’ve had about all I can stand/Adrian, fuck your band.” The timing is what makes it.  -Emmet

I’m all for file sharing. That’s great— as long as people are prepared for the significant consequences. One is that music will become completely couched in advertising. That’s already happened. And another is that people should be prepared to have fun with the past because the only music that can possibly be free is the music that’s from the past. It costs money to make music. And if people are prepared to only have the past to listen to, then let it be free. But if they want new music then they are going to have to figure out a way to be patrons of the arts. And they will.

- Ian MacKaye (Pitchfork Interview)

Lisa over at Kind of Like Records just posted this about file sharing and all this SOPA business going around over the last few weeks. I like that this subject is creating such a passionate discussion. It reminded me that I’ve had this Ian MacKaye quote sitting in my draft folder for weeks now. And it perfectly expresses my thoughts on file sharing. I have no problem with people downloading our records. In all honestly I think it promotes the bands and the label in a way that we’re probably not capable of ourselves. In many ways, file sharing is the “word of mouth” of 10-15 years ago. And people who want the physical product aren’t going to be phased on an album leak one way or the other in my opinion. In the end it’s a question of whether you find value in the art you enjoy. If you do, then give back to it. Go to a show, buy a record, buy a tee shirt…because that’s what gives it continuance for yourself and for all the people that follow us. And if you don’t think that’s important you’re not paying much attention to the environment we’re living in these days.

We live in the future, bros.

Nothing Important To Say About Anything: Your scene sucks, let me tell you why.

deadwithmyfriends:

You book the same shows at the same houses with the same bands and you promote them to the same people as another excuse to go out and rent a keg for your stupid parties. How many times am I going to see the same four bands on a line up before you wise up? A saturday night show in Philadelphia…

To be fair, there are rarely kegs.
