Thanks for keeping the site alive! I just rediscovered it after many many years...

Hey guys, I'm not good at self-promotion but I will now enter into uncharted territory and promote my own concert. (Please excuse my vanity) Anyway, if anyone's in the Boston area, my band The Tropics is playing tomorrow night (Tuesday the 16th) at TT the Bear's in Cambridge (Central Square). It's r...

i just got back to my house and my neighbors were having some construction work being done and the workers were listening to eisenhower.

but i don't necessarily think that's a bad thing

i think the bss flaming lips influences are pretty clear. that line from paper birds (the chord progression in the chorus) is incredibly similar to anthem for a 17 year old girl. although this has been mentioned years ago when the song came out. also, in the intro to that song a lot of the stuff mar...

why???????????

actually these are my least favorite slip lyrics to date i think and i don't think they do justice to the music. i would say especially the words to airplane/primitive (moreso because the music to that song is so sick). the chorus is cool but the verses, especially "it's the day before the rest...

actually i think i hear what you mean. i really don't know if this is an error or not because mine is in perfect time too. that's really strange and really subtle. good ears.

oh and that's a great quote by Marc Ribot. he's a pretty nasty guitarist too.

yeah maybe trite isn't the best word. i think calling your album the last name of a former president is a little questionable. i mean the word eisenhower has a nice ring to it so it's not as bad as calling it hoover or taft or something. but the slip is a fabulously creative band. they could have co...

does anyone really have idea why the band decided on Eisenhower and not a different name? I know there's been all sorts of speculation on this message board but has anyone heard anything from the band or anywhere? i mean i can't imagine the conversation that took place when they were deciding on the...

Well... only judging from the 4 songs on myspace I'm a little disappointed. And not because I want the old jam band slip back. I'm digging this new style. It's more that the music is really solid but I feel like the lyrics come up quite a bit short, especially for an album clearly dedicated to focus...

how is it that some people have the album already. through leaks? or did the band let it out to a few select individuals?

how do i find brad's myspace page?

thanks

agreed. this was well-needed and well-done. thanks a lot.

and Tara, that's a great picture.
