I wish I had been old enough to see the 'mats all drunk and doing weird covers, but I was not.
How I miss those days.
Good times.
'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I am with hayden on the kooky goodness that is the released "Can't Hardly Wait." Also, I saw the 'mats live once, with amych, and enjoyed it muchly.
Question born of ignorance: why the 'mats? Why not the 'ments?
Short for Placemats.
It's short for Placemats.
I see. Thank you.
But I got some bootlegs from Tina last year that captured the reckless, wasted glory as well as The Shit Hits The Fans, and some of those I could only listen to a couple of times as well.
Silly - you sent me that bootleg. The Metro show from 86? Full of reckless, wasted glory it is.
Just last night I was trying to remember what the mats song in Say Anything is - the one that plays as he is leaving his sister's apartment to get on the plane just as the movie is ending. Anyone know what it was off the top of their head? If I don't have that somewhere, I need to buy it.
I am getting the Fiery Furnaces today because of all the squeeing here about it. I need a new CD and am uninspired about everything else out right now.
I was at that show!
With friends of friends from Mpls who were amazed at how sober and professional the 'Mats were in Chicago.
"Within Your Reach"
You should just buy "Hootenanny" - besides this song it also contains the wonderful "Color Me Impressed"

"Within Your Reach" is the only one listed on the soundtrack so I'll go out on a limb & guess that. But I don't really remember.
