Jack's Mannequin/Something Corporate, The static's where you'll find me...merged Options

[~AngelBabi~]

I'd never heard of them until their song Bark Blue was used as part of a slide show in memory of a ninth grader at my school who passed away in May now I can't listen to that song without crying. I downloaded two of their other songs Kill The Messenger and The Mixed Tape and really like them.

I love Jack's Mannequin!

[seafoam]

I like JM...

But i like SoCo more; it just isn't the same. |:

Yay I'm glad there's other people here that like Jack's Mannequin, let's make this thread longer than the Jonas Brothers thread

I like JM...

But i like SoCo more; it just isn't the same. |:

Yeah I love SoCo too, they'll always be my favorite band, but I've stopped hoping for a reunion. But as long as Andrew is still making amazing music, no matter what the band is called, than I'm happy

[lc123]

Thank you for making this thread. Andrew is amazing!

I was going to go to the show in Costa Mesa but I have to go to a school function instead.

HELLO!!

[noclue07]

I love Jack's Mannequin. Saw them in concert at the electric factory in Philly last year, they were awesome. The lead singer said something about it's not the end of Something Corporate, havent heard anything about them though.

[Kayli]

They are coming to our state fair with Paramore so I might get to see them.

[Niki]

Andrew has the voice of an angel.

I also like SoCo better but JM is good too.

[Niki]

Here, I found that other thread, so we can merge them maybe?

I love Jack's Mannequin. Saw them in concert at the electric factory in Philly last year, they were awesome. The lead singer said something about it's not the end of Something Corporate, havent heard anything about them though.

In an interview recently Andrew said this about SoCo:

"The thing about Something Corporate is, well, it’s hard to explain how each one of us has our own lives and the people in our lives. That is me and Something Corporate. We have our own lives and how we interact.
They’re really dear friends of mine. We see each other all the time and talk all the time. There’s definitely always discussions of when are we going to put something together. And when I say put something together, I don’t envision for me personally, that we’re going to come back and make a new full length record. At least not any time soon. And go on a world tour and be out for a year working on a Something Corporate record.
That’s like the dudes and friends I grew up with in high school and we had this amazing experience and this huge connectivity on stage and it was undeniable. It was really special, something I’ve never experienced on stage. But we were also all 16, 17 years old and as you grow up, you get older and you start liking different things and you start going different directions. It just made sense for me and everybody’s got their own things that they’re doing.
It’s like we’ll do something because love each other, we respect our fan base and we know that we have the ability to really make cool stuff together. There’s all these songs that never really got to see the light of the day that I would love to do a huge package of. And music, there’s a whole different world of music now.
Commerce and music are two totally different things. It’s not like you make a CD and it sells. So, I kind of believe in this idea of making other things that sell. Like if we collected all these amazing b-sides that we’ve done that nobody’s heard or stuff that’s been kind of scattered. “Konstantine” was never on a freaking record. It was never on a record. That song has its own area code and it has never been on a record. So to find a home for this and something that really shows people what the experience of being in Something Corporate was really like–there’s pictures of us being babies on stage, high school, it was really a cool thing. I want to do something to celebrate that and throw some new tracks on there and these handfuls of demos and songs that we had never put out that I’d love to finish that are really cool songs.
I think the biggest problem with Something Corporate was that there were so many people around with so many opinions outside of the band that some of our coolest crap that was really groovy would have to be put on the back burner because we’d been pigeonholed into this Drive-Thru punk rock thing. But I mean I loved everybody there and I loved everything about that. I wouldn’t trade that experience. Sometimes in our own head, I think that we didn’t let our selves be as free, we didn’t let ourselves put out these songs that maybe were a little more challenging and not just straight up the main vein, but were really cool adult communications that got lost along the way."

They are coming to our state fair with Paramore so I might get to see them.

You should definitely go. Paramore puts on a pretty good live show, but Jack's Mannequin's live show is absolutely amazing

Andrew has the voice of an angel.

Yes he does

I got a mod to merge these two threads. What are people's favorite Jack's Mannequin/SoCo songs? My favorite JM song is Bruised and my favorite SoCo songs are Walking By and Me and the Moon (my username ) Although all the songs are amazing.

Yay, we're merged! As for my favorites, for JM, We Were Made For Each Other/You Can Breathe, Dark Blue, and La La Lie... and for SoCo, Konstantine ( ), As You Sleep, Fall, Cavanaugh Park, and I Want to Save You.

BUMP. Go listen to Jack's Mannequin new single The Resolution. http://www.myspace.com/jacksmannequin Ahhhhhhh I love this song soooo much I just saw that he uploaded it a few minutes ago and I've already listened to it a butch of times

[Laura_2222]

I've only heard Dark Blue, but I love that song.

[nacosociety]

The Ghost Overground EP is awesome. I've been listening to The Resolution so much in the past few days that I already know most of the words. Bloodshot sounds different from their old stuff, but I like it. Especially the chorus. The live stuff is amazing as well.

2 weeks until I see them!

[stellarstarlight]

Forget Decemeber. I'm such a old school fan I grew up soco. I like JM but soco will always be my favorite.

[--erikaa]

I love SoCo more than JM, but as long as Andrew keeps making awesome music, then I'm fine with it.

"Konstantine" is hands down my favourite song ever.
