Video: The Faint - "The Geeks Were Right"

Thursday, January 29, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: According to Google Maps it's about a 20-hour drive from Austin to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I'd say that's roughly 15 more then I'm up for, which means I won't be Amble Down's awesome looking two-year anniversary party on February 28. Bummer. One of you better go for me. On Monday I mentioned Maria Taylor and how she had readied a new LP without Saddle Creek. Today, as fate would have it, features Broken Spindles [...]

• Broken Spindles - Introvert

This year has been a surprising one for music. After last year I thought to myself, "How could this year possibly be better than last year for music?" And you know what? Album after album I was shocked, no musical lull in sight. Nothing but quality as far as the eye could see. Well, quality in terms of the albums I was looking for. In particular, bands that released somewhat unimpressive sophomore albums came back this year with some intense and riveting releases. Bloc Party, The Stills, The Killers, and Longwave all regrouped and recalibrated to create releases that [...]

I hear that the Faint is going to be at the Pageant on Friday, December 12. Tickets on sale next week; all details TBA. "The Geeks Were Right":

Ob-sessed with this one from The Faint... Egghead boys with thin white legs They got modified features with software brains But that's what the girls like, the geeks were right... Gettin' his fix - Tabloid Junkie.

The Faint are back. After a five year hiatus, they return with new album Fasciinatiion , which will be released this week. In order to promote that, they're going on a UK & Ireland tour, which includes our very own Crawdaddy in Dublin. The gig takes place on November 17th, ticket details to be announced. November 17 - Crawdaddy, Dublin 18 - Oran Mor, Glasgow 19 - Academy 3, Manchester 20 - Scala, London 21 - Brighton Digital, Brighton Watch 'The Geeks Were Right':

Arguably you could be forgiven if you thought that The Faint was the next new sound to hit your ears. . Without trying to be disrespectful to such an accomplished outfit, it isn't difficult to group their style of music alongside many of the other flash in the pan acts going round right now. I'm sure when they hit the music world some years ago no one would have ever given a hope of obtaining the fan base and longevity that they have achieved. The Faint have been doing this for [...]

Im a big fan of "The Faint" @ first I was dissapointed with the new album feeling like it wasnt as dark or energetic as previous efforts but after listening to it for the past few weeks I've completely changed my mind. Consume this! Besides its on theyre own label "blank.wav." so you can feel Xtra Indie by supporting them.Heres the vid for the first single "The Geeks Were Right" And prolly my favorite track from the album "I Treat You Wrong" I Treat You Wrong - The Faint [...]

The Faint regresa este año con nuevo disco bajo el brazo. Fasciinatiion es el quinto álbum de la banda de Nebraska que lanzaron por Saddle Creek Records, sello independiente con sede en esa misma tierra de buenos talentos. El primer sencillo de este LP es "The Geeks Was Right" (Jackie les posteó anteriormente el MP3 ). Sinceramente, no me sorprende mucho esta canción, prácticamente sigue siendo el mismo dance-punk que vienen haciendo de sus últimas entregas. No he escuchado bien Fasciinatiion pero haciendo una evaluación prematura, puedo decir que [...]
