My daughter (age 10) went to her first concert in July to see Jimmy Eat World in London. Unfortunately this tour t-shirt shown wasn't available in a size small at the show.

You seem to be able to buy it unofficially through eBay, but does past experience for you, the fans, tell you if this will ever be officially available online in the UK to buy? So she has a memento of her first concert?

Thank you.

Clarity is now, sadly, behind us. Lest you think we're jumping right into Bleed American, we have a few releases to consider that paved the way for it. We'll now be working through the Singles compilation the band released in 2000 and sold mostly while on tour. They used the proceeds to help fund what became the Bleed American sessions.

This is very much a compilation album; it's hard to feel that there is a throughline from start to finish.

We begin with "Opener," a song that has Tom's usual, um, interesting lyrics and ends with some great screaming from Jim. If you haven't heard it, check the link above. I've seen them play it live, and it was awesome.

In Sweetness Jim says “I’m still running away” and in 23 he says “I’m still driving away.”
At first I thought it might be an intentional reference to Sweetness, but I think Jim just really likes using physical distance to describe emotional distance. Like instead of just saying he’s moved on from something, he emphasizes that in the moment he’s still moving further and further away from it.
Just thought it was a cool little similarity between the two songs. Wondering if anyone else has noticed it or if there are other examples of him doing this.

Well here we go, the final track on Clarity, and one that take sup over 25% of the album's overall length. For all the drama the band had with Capitol Records, I want to give the label credit for looking at this entire record and saying, "Sure, you want to close with the 16-minute experimental, ambient/electronic loop with layered vocals? OK."

The lyrics are heavily influenced by the John Irving novel A Prayer for Owen Meany. (Incidentally, "Owen Meany" is also a terrific Lagwagon song.)

As an 18-year-old when the album came out, I just thought "Sky Harbor" sounded so cool and I had no idea it was the name of Phoenix's airport.

If you are ever in downtown Oklahoma City, check out Clarity Coffee! Jim posted an Instagram story about it when the guys were in town opening for Fall Out Boy. I am in OKC for a couple of days so I had to come check it out. It's a great little coffee shop! This is not a paid advertisement! 😆☕️❤️

I put this together manually from setlist.fm, so hopefully it's accurate and hopefully I captured it accurately. I only included shows where they're the main headliners, so no festivals where they played a shortened setlist.

Took a bit of a dip on "Blister" compared to the tracks preceding it, but that's not unexpected. Here we are now, on the eponymous track. One last banger before... something different.

I’m a public librarian in NC and just found out about the new Jimmy Eat World library cards in Mesa, AZ. Anyone in Mesa willing to help me get one? Anyone on here already have one?

Hey all!

Work got in the way so I am looking to sell two tickets to the Tampa show, Section 16, Row Y, Seats 24+25.

Originally paid $76/ea, looking to get $115 for the pair via PayPal G&S.

Let me know if you have any questions!

"12.23.95" took a bit of a hit compared to the rest of the album - significantly so. How will "Ten" fare? To me, it's sort of another bridge track. Beautiful, and it builds upon the minimalism of the previous track, but I am often excited to get past it for what comes next.

Originally released as a "Secret Crush" on a EP with Mineral and Sense Field, the Clarity version is a bit more polished, and it's the one we'll use for our mega-rating exercise.
