That's a weird way to spell "none of their songs", Tekkactus.

So has anyone gotten the pumpkingram with "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Road" ? And are they loving it as much as I am right now?

That's a weird way of spelling The Devil's Ball, r4v5.

Gremlin: You're thinking of "Hothouse Flowers".

Probably because it's the only bad song they've recorded.

Saw them a basement show at my friend's place two nights ago, and Jack complimented me on my Witch Hunt shirt twice. Some guy started yelling "that's not true!" when everyone was singing "Only Anarchists are Pretty," so I started singing it really loud as close to him as I could get in the pit. Great night!

Agree with Sukka-man, Red-eyed soul remains my favorite album of all time.

RE: what album to start with: I always recommend that folks start with Red-Eyed Soul...but that’s mostly because it was mixed rather more better than their earlier albums. Also, because it’s got the most tracks on it-& I assume that the more Inferno you hear, the more likely you are to get hooked. Which is my primary objective. Personally, my favourite albums are The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League & Just the Best Party-but, uh, honestly-just listen to whatever you can get your hands on. They’re all good. Seriously, they all are. I say that with No Reservations Whatsoever. [i]So good.[/i]

I'm actually glad it was at the Savoy. Some things just are meant to be appreciated without having to smack 15 kids in the face to avoid getting a mouthful of elbow. Lame about Jack not being able to light his cigarette because of shitty non-smoking rules.

red-eyed soul was the first album i listened to by them, and fell instantly in love. i still think it's their best album, but just the best party doesn't come far behind. i'd recommend listening to both of them, they're pretty different from each other. also, saw the "Addicted to Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century" special show yesterday here in helsinki, finland. it was pretty fucking sweet, with all the video projecting and acting goodness between songs (jack playing peter lorre, and the keyboard player, raja azar i think, playing fritz lang). the only downside was that it was in a fine theater, so people just sat in their seats during the whole show. good times nonetheless, i think the normal, 50-something theater-goers were a little bit surprised where the hell they had just stumbled in to when the show began, haha.
