Auren Suicide: The Faint

I saw them play in Council Bluffs, Ia this year. Too bad I really don't remember it I was so trashed. What I remember sounded good though.

Oh rock, I love The Faint!

If i were stranded on an island i could listen to nothing but The Faint all day and all night long!!!!!!

Congratulations to Auren!

I love the faint waaaaay too much for my own good......

Right on!

Fucking ridiculously excellent band.

Oh wow, thanks!! I'm so excited

ROCKIN'

On an interesting note, as soon as I finished reading this thread, "Glass Danse" began playing...

Out of 2,673 different tracks set to play randomly.

The Faint are one of the musical discoveries that I am most grateful to have made this year!!

I still do not understand why they are not hugely popular, they are way catchy plus there are similar sounding bands (The Killers and the Bravery, for example) which are not as good plus are inmensely more popular.

Those guys can do things with keyboards that I can't even understand.

ohh OOhh Ohh erection ... sorry .. done

The Faintness that you hear is nothing short of brilliant.

I have to say that The Faint are by far my favorite new band (in contrast to the much older favorite Skinny Puppy) But one thing about this interview puzzled me... and that would be the surname given for Todd. "Fink" Now either I'm not as obsessed fanatic as I used to be... or something is wrong here, because I had always assumed that Todd and Clark were brothers.

So I head over to www.thefaint.com and check the BIO page... Could it be? Am I wrong?

Checks liner notes for WFB ... No names of anyone, Next booklet I found was for BWA... And I breathe a sigh of relief as I read: Todd Baechle - vocal, synthesizer. Just to be on the safe side I dig up some old interviews... lo and behld: I have confirmation. But Now I am left with a greater question... Just what happened that brought about this change?

Also, I want to say that I think Todd' s lyrics are more inspired, unique, and honet than any I've heard, well... since Ogre... but in a different may. I have an enormous amount of respect for his words (Your Retro Career Melted is the most powerful existential sci-fi narrative put to music... ever, not even Gary Numan could match that shit).

And, am I the only one that likes Media as well as the newer more electronic albums? Honestly I find it a quite beautiful collection of songs, and the first track seems to make sense of the initially baffling pub. title they've chosen "Grammar out of Context" - lucid to the language now, absolutely critical comprehonfusing in the spirit of Carrollian portmanteau.

Anything relating to The Faint makes me happy. I've only seen three shows in my life, and the fact that the third got to be my favorite band of all time was amazing. The Faint were perfect live. I;'ve never had so much fun before, and doubt I will again until my next show I see them in

I wish the interveiw was with the whole band, but im greedy . I LOVE the new album "Faciinatiion, "forever growing centapedes" being one of my favorites songs off of it.

man...i cant wait to see these guys again, and i hope they keep coming out with more albums!!!
