Something Corporate and Jacks Mannequin: The Pop Rock Works of Andrew McMahon

[Soot and Stars]

OK I'm listening to Annie Use Your Telescope and it's instantly better than the Something Corporate songs, it's more of a Coldplay style song, the piano is audible and the lack of guitar is refreshing!

Now onto The Resolution, I agree that his songwriting has got better. It's a much more mature sound in JM than in SC, more stripped down too which I like in itself

Awesome! If only Jack's Mannequin had written Konstantine!

So finally Konstantine is coming out on a standard album! Something Corporate are touring again and have released a greatest hits package which includes an EP with Konstantine! Besides the fact that some songs are remixed and good mixes at that I have every song on it but I find owning an album rather than a single with Konstantine will be worth the money!

I highly recommend this hits package for strangers of Something Corporates music!

I Woke Up In A Car


Letters to Noelle


Wait


Watch The Sky
(previously unreleased on album)


Forget December


And the only time I've ever repeated a song in a thread because it's so important this album has Konstantine available to the mass public for the first time:

Wait a tick.....I thought Andrew McMahon said he'd never play this song live.

He recently brought it back! Sometimes you have to give something a rest period and bring it back when it feels fresh again! I would love to see him play even more now that there is a chance for a Konstantine appearance!

My friend really likes Jack's Mannequin; she's the one that tipped me off to them in the first place, as a matter of fact. I like "Dark Blue," although I don't care much for the chorus. "The Mixed Tape" is a very good song though.

If you saw him live and he played "Konstantine" would you lose it like someone in the final stages of the Bieber Fever?

That's cool! Have you given Something Corporate a try. I'll always connect to them more for various reasons though Jack's Mannequin is great as well. They would both have to be considering it's Andrew writing for both.

Yes, I would! No screaming brat would be able to match my enthusiasm!

It's been building up for longer than Justin Bieber has been in music.

I'm really starting to dig "Drunk Girl," I should definitely look into them more. Bought another album of theirs from FYE.com with a spare gift card that I had to use, as well as a vinyl of Radiohead's The Bends.
