Okay, so they’re not reuniting. But they ARE playing a show together in July. And (for all the people who have lamented being unable to actually obtain their music after hearing me rave about them), they’re re-releasing their albums through my new favorite record label, Hardly Art.
In addition, they’ve got a compilation coming out on July 13, called They’ll Only Miss You When You Leave: Songs 1996 – 2003. My only complaint on that front is that it’s got only a couple tracks from Ugly But Honest (my #1 album of the past decade). But when there’s so much great stuff to choose from, you can’t really get it wrong.
Track list for the compilation record:
1. Low Budget Slow Motion Soundtrack Song For the Leaving Scene
2. Die
3. The Color That Your Eyes Changed With the Color of Your Hair
4. One Night Stand
5. You Should Be Hated Here
6. Drunk with the Only Saints I Know
7. Phantom Fireworks
8. So You Wanna Be A Superhero
9. Brooke Daniels’ Tiny Broken Fingers
10. Ignorant Piece of Shit
11. Blessed Arms That Hold You Tight, Freezing Cold and Alone
12. Blue Champagne Glass
13. September Come Take This Heart Away
14. All Apologies and Smiles, Yours Truly, Ugly Valentine
15. Sympathy Bush
16. They’ll Only Miss You When You Leave
Just heard about this last night, so exciting! Too bad I'm on the east coast 🙁
Now that I think about it…they probably saw your albums of the decade and decided, "Hey, what the hell, let's do this". Yeah, that sounds about right.
