Say Anything MEGAPOST

let me just get this out of the way, I LOVE SAY ANYTHING. one of my favorite bands ever, no doubt.
it’s a love that hits on a lot of intangibles and is wrapped in a blanket of pure musical enjoyment.
- introduced to me by an ex-girlfriend and close personal friend to this day
- i interviewed max bemis right after “…is a real boy” came out and was getting hyped like mad. completely down to earth, modest, and easy to talk to.
- …in fact, he wasn’t quite 21 yet and we had to sneak him into the bar where we interview him. he refused to drink, probably for the best considering what happened to him.
- max is a fucked up dude and devastatingly honest about it
- max spent time in a mental ward in Houston a few months after I met him for trying to kill himself. he mentions this in “Hate Everyone”, an awesome texas shout-out.
- max seems better now but still has a pretty deep well of trauma to pull material from
- at a sxsw max got me into a party years after seeing him last, instantly recognizing me and nice as ever.
- I have seen say anything in concert about 5 times, each time better than the last
- I feel I can deeply relate to a lot of say anything songs, take that as you like.
- I have introduced their music to many friends and lady friends over the years and will continue to for as long as I can.
anyway, this new self-titled album is about to come out as a follow-up to the 2CD “in defense of the genre”, its great and I recommend it.
