TMBG NAMED GREAT
Says here we're the 84th grea-*test*-('") living songwriters of Paste Magazine's 100 Best Living Songwriters! Yes!..... 83 in 2008! http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/articl...est_living_song writers_8190


#9... #9... #9...

wooo news! I can't wait to get a hold of a phisical version of the album, it'll be great!

I like those little (might be) Johns in masks

yeah, they're cute. i hope they also do some pix with their real faces though...

i never got to see it at #9 on the regular chart. it's always #12, right after Elliot Yamin. (i saw that guy on TV this week, & no offense on him, but he sucked!)

they're right back to number 11 again
can't wait to get my tour dates
I wanna see Dallas on there!!!

if i saw any town in Arkansas, i would literally die.

well that would be a waste

well, i don't think you have anything to worry about, cuz it's never gonna happen. in all the years they've been touring, they have played in AR exactly twice.

There's no show in Washington. But i'm pretty sure they've played in Seattle more than twice. That blows biff.

well, St Louis is only 5 or 6 hours away, if you drive really fast once you get on the interstate.

i'm gonna see em on this tour. i don't care how far we gotta go. so there. (my poor hubby)

yaaaay the NYC shows! I'm so excited! And the Long Island shows! Holy crap so awesome!
And really, thank God for NY's 18+ shows. EVERYTHING in Chicago is 21+ and I hate it!! And look at the other dates listed here- all of the ones that are not "All Ages" outside of NY are 21+! Thank you, NY!

Mhm: http://tmbw.net/wiki/Show_Search?queryType...t=Seattle%2C+WA

I woder if they'll do a show in Oklahoma? one can dream, right? I'll probably go to a St. Louis show too, they seem to go there a lot

according to the wiki, they've played Tulsa twice.

Amazing, this'll be the fourth time they'll be in Detroit rather than Ann Arbor or somewhere else in Michigan. They sure do seem afraid of Detroit or something from how long it took for them to come back.

man, Arkansas must be really scary.
