it’s just that

i never used to be so scared of everything. i took a chance and woke up with this wedding ring on my finger. i owe you for fucking up your life. i just hope i can make it up to you. you’re the reason there’s a flutter in my heart. you’re the reason nothing ever falls apart in this house that we built for our family of three. i’m so impressed that you’re still in love with me. you’re the reason there is hope at every turn. you’re the reason that i feel the sickest burns when you lay out the facts of each case we discuss. i agree that it’s hard to disagree. you’re the reason there’s a stranger in our bed. you’re the reason we’re less fucked up in the head. and the time that you spend on remembering it all deserves more than the words you’re hearing now. you’re the reason you’re the person you’ve become. you’re the “hard-ass-inward-look-at-how-it’s-done” with each lie you’ve dismantled and replaced with truth. you’re the epitome of living proof. you’re the camera’s lens, the checkbook, and the key. you’re as piscean as one could hope to be. and the lighthouse of love that you shine day and night beckons homeward toward us wandering erudites. you’re the witchiest, the baddest of the bad. you’re the best defence the dark arts ever had and the spells that you cast can cure every disease. it’s an honour to be part of this dichotomy. you’re the common sense that cuts right to the core that made that sassy mess we both get to adore. and the love that we share is imzadi times twelve. there’s no chance that you’ll ever get rid of me.

there’s no chance that you’ll ever get rid of me

01.02.06 - Motion City Soundtrack at 93 Feet East, London

By 2006 Motion City Soundtrack were my favourite band. It had been a slower burner, the odd track here and there from I Am The Movie, but when Commit This To Memory came along I was all in. Most of the people in my life at the time were big fans too, so were the other bands we liked. MCS could do no wrong, despite never making it to the dizzy heights of the UK singles charts.

This was my second time seeing them. A one-off headline show at a club in East London called ’93 Feet East’. Has anyone ever been to or even heard of this place? It’s my one and only time having been there and I’ve rarely heard it mentioned since. It definitely had far more of a club vibe than a live music venue so perhaps it’s better known better for that.

I hadn’t been to London for many shows before this, and those were more central. Getting off the tube at it’s quiet final stop felt a bit intimidating on a dark February night. Perhaps I was still on edge from the altercation we’d almost got into on the District line when another passenger accused us of staring at them. Seaside kids in the big city.

16 years later it would be rare to have such a feeling at a gig, or travelling to one, but in a weird way I think it added something to the whole experience back in the day. A bit of danger and a fear of the unknown just made it hit home more that you were stepping out of your comfort zone and into a larger world. Nowadays the risk at shows is standing next to someone with a suspect cough.

I can’t remember if it was The River Club or The Maple State who supported, maybe it was both? Either one I think may have been a bit too cool for me at the time.

At the end of the gig Justin (Courtney) Pierre made a huge effort, as he often does, to greet everyone in the crowd. I’m sure he signed my ticket, but the one I’ve photographed isn’t, which poses the question, whose ticket was this?

MY DINOSAUR LIFE ~ MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK

Earlier this week, I bought myself two CDs - I Am The Movie, and My Dinosaur Life. Both are by Motion City Soundtrack, a band I don't think I can really actually express my love for adequately. When I say that I was so excited to get my hands on these albums I had to use my inhaler, I'm not actually exaggerating. Anyway, My Dinosaur Life has really quickly become my favourite CD I own, and I really gotta gush about it before I ultimately implode under the pressure of keeping it all in, and what better place than here I thought! I won't talk about the songs, this is specifically about the CD and art etc.

First of all, here is the back and front of the CD case! The part that reads MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK is actually a sticker on the case as opposed to being printed directly onto the album booklet. The case for I Am The Movie has a similar deal going on, but I'll talk about that another time. I'm just a fan of the little dino guy (designed by Joe Ledbetter, no less [additionally, someone that understands Wikipedia needs to add a citation to his page with regards to his work with MCS please!!])! As you can see by the back, this is the standard edition disc as far as I'm aware, it features none of the alternative versions found on the deluxe editions, and it's certainly not the Japanese release.

Anyway, next up: the disc itself! I'm a big fan of the disc, I think it's very sweet. I think I might have almost died when I opened it today to see this. I am a huge fan of shiny discs, but the best part came after I removed it....

As you can see, removing the disc shows the art behind the disc itself. The same dinosaur, but this time on display in a museum. I cannot understate how fantastic the graphic design of this case is, it is beautiful, and fantastic, and there is so much to see in it, wherever it is you look.

Whenever I have a CD, I usually expect that the lyrics will be in the accompanying album booklet, perhaps with some additional notes and thank yous. However for My Dinosaur Life, I was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of the lyrics was a booklet filled with art by Joe Ledbetter. Each of the artworks corresponds with each of the songs on the album, which is a fantastic touch and one that excited me even more than the bones behind the disc did. I've taken a picture of every single one of those illustrations, which are all gonna be shared here for everyone's viewing pleasure (because they're like. really really good okay).

Every single one of the art pieces is brilliant and filled with so many little references and correspond to the ideas of the songs, and I will be honest in saying I have been staring at them for a lot of time today. I wanted to make sure everyone else had the opportunity to see them as well!

Additional Information: Produced by: Mark Hoppus (of Blink 182) Mixed by: Andy Wallace (worked with Nirvana, Sepultura, System of a Down, and plenty others)

There is also a link to a website on the back of the disc. It seems the domain is now owned by someone else, however it was archived on the wayback machine if anyone is interested! It has plenty of information on the making of My Dinosaur Life, pictures, schedules (and at the bottom, it says "powered by Tumblr", which I wasn't expecting). You can access this here!

I don't really have much else to say other than there is not enough Motion City Soundtrack on here anymore and I plan to change that single handily, fuelled primarily by a very intense interest in them!
