i saw jimmy eat world on monday night for the opening night of the clarity x 10 tour. amazing band, amazing album, amazing performance. i wish i enjoyed most shows as much as i enjoyed this one. i felt like i was 16 again and going to see shows for the first time.

it’s still pretty awesome to think that fueled by ramen was the first label to release some of the songs from clarity. to me, their self-titled ep is still one of the biggest highlights of the fbr catalog and one of the reasons i became such a big fan of the label and ultimately an employee.
