As much as I do love Tegan & Sara, I can't keep a straight face when I think about them. My mind just flashes to the day I walked into Lowe's and heard them playing. The hilarity of it almost killed me.

I remember being dumped when I was 16 and So Jealous was all I listened to for the next month. "Where Does the Good Go?" and "I Can't Take It" alone were enough to make me never want to leave the house again. So Jealous is definitely the saddest of all of them. Some Con songs are kinda meh on the sadness scale. But every single song on SJ is killer. Particularly Fix You Up. Fuck my life.

That shit will gut you everytime. I think my favorite on SJ would have to be "Downtown". Ohh mann <33.

I want to grow up to be just like them, between the two of them they have the perfect voice and body.
When I was dating a soon-to-be-lesbian she made me buy The Con and it became the driving music for me and my two guy friends every morning on the way to school.
I can't wait for sainthood and I want those boooks

I'm sorry but Soil, Soil is so much sadder than anything on So Jealous.

I love getting on a huge "fuck I'm in love" bender and listening to it like 30 times in a row. My last.fm is such an embarrassment right now.

Hop a Plane is WAY sadder than Soil, Soil. It's weird that they stopped playing Soil, Soil, it's so good live.

Hop a Plane is too upbeat for me to find it sad.
Knife Going In can fuck off, that song breaks me. "Emy, should I stop?" KILL ME.

It still has lyrics, ya know.

Yeah but still. If a song has sad lyrics and not sad music it doesn't make for the whole experience!

It makes it even worse, because for days/weeks/months you're so happy listening to a happy song, right? Until the one time you pay close attention to the lyrics. Then you want to hang yourself. See also: The Format. And Speak Slow, fuck 'em both.

Well apparently I'm musically retarded. Even if the lyrics are gut-wrenching, happy beats are all I hear!

I believe it's no secret how much I love Tegan & Sara. Well, it was, until Dave outed me in a LastFM thread on the OMB. But I feel no shame. I love them so hard.

When I first saw how many T&S plays Dave had on last.fm, I said to Casey, "Oh I didn't know Dave was gay..."

I have 1,000 more T&S plays that Davey. Wow.

I would have way more if you took into account how much I listen to the cds/how much I listen to them on my MP3 player.

Post by Tanya on Sept 14, 2009 16:33:52 GMT -5
Most of my plays are from my iPod actually, so I have no excuse.

I have a total of 1910 T&S plays in iTunes. So not including the times I listened to the CDs. And I only have 3 albums so far. I guess I like them a lot.
And now this thread's made me listen to them now.

Tegan & Sara are pretty much my favorite band ever and I really don't think there is any album in the world that's better than The Con. I'd have that CD playing almost every morning on the drive to school and my sister and her friend learned all the words without even liking the songs.
One time, "The Con" came on in Coldstone and my sister got so mad, haha.
I usually like Tegan's songs a lot more than Sara's, though.
And before I deleted my Last FM account, I think Tegan & Sara had about 4,000 plays in less than a year. My second most listened to band was AFI, who had a little more than a thousand in about 3-4 years. Wow.
PS - I registered just for this thread. Hi.

Yeah, I definitely paid 111 for the NYC show after all the charges. HOW DO YOU FUCKING SLEEP AT NIGHT, TICKETMASTER. WE ARE IN A RECESSION. Hahahaha. But that's insane.
