I feel like Pinback is a pretty fantastic experience when it comes to interpreting lyrics. Some songs are literal (Walters, ect.) and some are pretty nonsensical (49531 doesn’t mean anything, it just fits nicely).

It leaves every other song in this perfect grey zone where you can kind of pick and choose. If some lyrics don’t fit your personal understanding, you can just ignore them. If you want to attach meaning to others, go ahead. Nothing is stopping you.

Hell, some songs I’ll just change the lyrics. Who’s to say in Glide, he didn’t say “Dreams move country” instead of “Dreams won’t come true”? I like my interpretation better. It’s more hopeful. And you know these captioning services can be unreliable.

That’s one of the reasons Pinback is my favorite band. I can tailor each song to be comforting, and still feel like it’s the correct version.

I genuinely thought this was for pinback buttons on the first post, but it lead me to find some cool music! I have a couple of Pinback's songs on my playlist now :)

I ordered some pins off ebay and they arrived today. I'm such an angry citizen I had to get two of the pin🧑‍🦲♥️

The middle three are from booths and the top one is from a pill cap and the bottom one is just a soda cap lol

Always been nervous to do a Pinback cover. Finally decided to take the plunge after hearing this one a bunch of times.

I really like the album art....I was on discogs hoping someone was listing BSL on vinyl for a price less than my car payment. No such luck.

Personally, my favorite is non-photo blue live at lou’s. Something about the way they were playing live scratches my brain in the best way possible.

I sold off most of my vinyl collection in 2009, but found these hidden away between some books in the office.

I don’t know if it’s just because my app is glitching out but at 30 seconds of shag it starts distorting? Has this happened to anyone else? Amazon music.

Scrolling around cali when this caught my eye on Wplace. surprised there's a fan that is active on there!

Title. I really like the song and wanted to learn it, but couldnt find anything. Thanks

IE- Rob Crow, Thingy, Systems Officer, Goblin Cock, etc..

The vocals are just..... no. (WaaTaEr... FiIRRE, raIIN, and HaaAAIILL.) OOOOOOHHHH OOHHHHHH WOOOAHHH

For the longest time I had really only LOVED their first 2 albums. They just had such a calming sound, and SIA just felt... different. Up until yesterday I saw that as a flaw. Then I relistened to it and went "wow this is actually an amazing album". I still will always have a special place in my heart for those first 2 gems, but I've started to really love this one too.

weird especially for a fairly recent album

Hi all! Just was listening to AHE and I was wondering who was the drummer for this specific EP. I know there was Prescott & Zinser (from Three Mile Pilot) performed with them at some point. But also from my understanding most of their early stuff was programmed. Anyways, would appreciate it if any knowledable fans would provide some clarity!

This is the first song I've recorded. I've been told by a couple people it sounds like Pinback. Which is high praise in my book. What say you?

Found this at my local record store, me and my friend geeked out.
