The Faint Provide Soundtrack to TMT Roadtrip, Tour

As you may have gathered from Judy Ain't No Punk's recent review of the Dismemberment Plan reunion, there was indeed TMT representation at the Saturday night set at the Black Cat. What you don't know is that I was there too, but instead of being a responsible and respectful journalist/concert reviewer, I was three pints to the wind and blissfully, exuberantly crushed in a crowd of kids at Travis Morrison's feet.

What you also may not know is that my iPod car adapter recently died a spiteful death, perhaps in protest to Public Enemy's "Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man" being played on a loop a few too many times. Either way, Judy and I were reduced to mix CDs, and since we both neglected to create "TMT Does DC or Bust!" mixes, we listened to a range of scratched mixes circa 1998-2002. One mix of Judy's kicked off with The Faint. Two songs later, we again listened to The Faint. The disc proceeded to end with The Faint. "Um, I guess I really liked them," Judy said.

What's also important to note is that Judy liked The Faint in high school. I was slow on the uptake and danced with skinny hipster boys in tight pants to "Glass Danse" during my sophomore year of college. Moral of the story: if you attend this upcoming tour, you're probably not as, uh, cool as either of us are now. But hey, it's okay. We (er, maybe just I) got really excited/nervous to blast "Fuck Tha Police" in Brooklyn. Bad. Ass.

"Call Call" is a pretty excellent song, regardless:
