That's amusing to watch. Genius too.
I adore speed-up "Salty Eyes" :)

I would have gotten so confused! Now when I hear the regular version of Salty Eyes it seems entirely too slow.

I'm gonna go play with my new sticker maker now!

Much Love!

That's definitely too complicated for any of the madden games. Although, with those kind of moves, you could get extra strategy points. Especially Matt. ;-)

I enjoyed listening to the sped up version of Salty Eyes

Kind of remeinded me of the Chipmunks Christmas cd? You know the one I'm talking about?

Yah, it was pretty amazing

Still Lizz,

Still Matt Whalen.

I'm so glad that you're not a chipmunk, Shawn. As amusing as it would be for about ten minutes, it would make me and probably many people quite sad.

Okay.. did anyone else see the person at the end, when the picture goes static??.. first time i saw that it creeped me ouuttt!!..haha

And I definitely know which picture that it, at the end, beneath the static.

...That was a little too poetic for its own good.

Wow complicated, but I must say following that bouncing ball is rather amusing.

They did a good job with that! The face is a bit creepy, though.

I've officially psyched myself out.

Continuously replaying the last 3 seconds of the video over and over again really wasn't a bright idea.

i must say the most enjoyable part of the whole entire process that is salty eyes...was the sheer joy and laughter that was brought to me by hearing you sound like an oompa loompa.

I never thought I'd miss the smell of sweat, burning in my throat, and the wonderful damp hugs like I do.
Five weeks can't be too long can it?
I guess I will have to do with the lovely sweet nothings to lift the tired feeling, untill then.
Not that I don't love them.

See you soon.

yeah...you, jon and justin were pretty good in the video, but really, HAIL MARY (with all the rosary beads and shit) to matt whalen. It was matt whalen then, and it's STILL MATT WHALEN. haha. xoxoxoxo

This is completely unrelated.

I just wanted to say that I was at the Atlanta Warped Tour just a few hours ago. I accidently missed your set. Then, later, while I had been given a concussion due to Coheed and Cambria, you were talking to my friends and even redrew one of their Sharpie tattoos backstage. It was just a sad day for my relationship with the Matches.

So, I guess, I thought what would truly fix this fiasco, is if you just replied with some words of encouragement or endurance.

I'd appreciate it,
Trace.

okay, so i didn't really have much to say about that diagram, but then i read some of these comments. i do believe the football term has gone right over some folks heads. i think they believe that you are actually praying to matt... interesting.

Recently, I saw a picture of you from the Atlanta show. There seems to be a strip of about two inches of hair missing from around your left wrist. What are they doing to you guys on Warped!? Haha.

I would say I hope it didn't hurt at all but theres no way, I have a older brother, I know these things.
Hope it didn't hurt too much.

I'll apologize for my last comment.

Here's something to make up for it... Involving Chris;

The Matches call a fan:

Oh my God.
To Built A Mountain is ....incredible isn't good enough.

I have no words, just chills and maybe slight tears.
I was waiting for a good time to say something about that headline on here...
Wow.

Seriously, To Build A Mountain is too good for words.

I never thought I'd feel like this about a song.

I doubt you'll answer but I'd LOVE you to make a blog on this or to just answer my hope by telling me it's on the new album.

July 21, 2007 5:48 PM  
Blogger KatieB said...

I hate commenting again on a completely different topic but...whoa. To Build a Mountian is amazing (in the truest sense of the word of course). I really hope its on the next album and if not, i still know it will be completely filled with more reasons to be in love with the band. and its pretty cool that you posted the ethanol line in a blog a while back. i never thought id hear it in song.
i love you guys!

As the people before me said, To Build A Mountain is amazing.

...and the little moving diagram made me giggle

The new song is great, it's nice to hear new material. I think it's great that you guys are writing songs about world issues, very nice change.

Last night, in honor of THAT video, I named my friend's car (previously named Lola... it doesn't look like a Lola) Matt (it looked like a Matt in the first place but NO he couldn't drive a boy car) so I could scream "MATT WHALEN!" when he comes. =^D My friends are weird... and name their cars... Mine is named Shawn. =^]
