In the Philly area, you can hear it at 88.5 YRock on XPN, or on-line at:

I'm thinking it'll probably start around 10ish EST.

    (Missing one song (Dancefloor)
    they are getting better-pay no attention to the hype

    first record is one of the best records in recent history-the entire thing

    new one is very good

    over hyped, but not overrated
    great band, great songs

    how can you say a certain romance is horrible?

    hey, there was already a multi-page thread from a couple weeks back about whether or not they are overrated, overhyped, suck, or rock...so if you have an opinion on that then you should add it to that thread.

    Now, back on topic thanks to the thread poster for this. I saw them earlier this month and they are tight live...definitely worth tuning in.

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    Rude ... but that's okay. You just don't know what you're missing. The Philly show was great, especially from in front of the stage. Crazy Philly crowd loving a TIGHT band playing complex, clever songs. If you love rock music, you just can't ignore how real these guys are. Matt Helders is an absolute beast at the drum kit.

    I've seen a lot of shows in a lot of places, but the two times I've seen this band, I've come away feeling electrified. Their albums and singles get lots of play around the house (and car and iPod) and we've put them in the Pantheon of our favorite top ten bands of all time. (This family is known to be a "tough room" so that's saying something. We listen to A LOt of music and dismiss lots more as crap.)

    Y-Rock is replaying the Philly show on 05/22 at 3:00 pm EST.

    I know what you mean ... in '92, I got excited about this little band from Seattle that was getting a lot of airplay. They've lasted what ... ?

    It's not about trends, it's about substance.
