[sdre-l]: POLL RESULTS!
Only got twenty votes but it seems like there was a solid enough pattern to see how people in general feel... Lets get to the ones that got no votes.. Disappear The Ocean Television The Rising Tide This is not to say that these aren't great songs... because they are. The Rising Tide has gone from one of my least favorites to in my top three but.. alas... There must losers if there are to be winners, so there you have it. Here is your favorites... 5th place: Rain Song 4th place (tied). Killed By An Angel 4th place (tied). One 4th place (tied). Snibe 1st place (tied). Faces In Disguise 1st place (tied). Tearing In My Heart 1st place (sort of winner cause it gets my vote). Fool In The Photograph I guess the results arent really that interesting because everything tied. But all of the 1st place songs had more than double the amount of votes that the 4th place ones did. So it is clear that those three songs are the big favorites. What is going to be interesting though is when i hold this same poll again in a month or two. I know that just about every sdre song has been my favorite at some point or another so this list should change. So, thanks everyone that voted. Especially the ones who wrote funny stuff in their votes. It makes stuff like this fun. -=pete dodd

[sdre-l]: Time for a Poll!!
Ok people, since i don't have a job and i'm a geek I have decided to give a poll. If any of you were on the list a couple years ago you will remember that I would do this all the time. Respect my polling abilities!?! Sho nuff! Ok-- before I even tell you what this poll is for make sure you send an email to me AND NOT THIS LIST!: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you send it to this list you will get the plague, be laughed at behind your back, and will be on my forwarding list for all email concerning how to make a million $'s at home and little billies fight against cancer in east peru.GOT IT? [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok on to the poll I am interested in finding out what your favorite song on the new album is. I plan on splitting this poll up into two phases to see the diferences--- I will do this same poll in about a month. So send a private email to me picking your *1* favorite song. I will close polling friday night at 11:59 EST. DO NOT HIT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!! GO CREATE A COMPLETELY NEW ONE WITH ONLY MY ADDRESS IN IT!

[sdre-l]: The website
I am a recent addition to this list so i'm sorry if this has been covered but. Does anyone else find it insulting that the "note" on www.sunnnydayrealestate.com is signed by Jeremy, Dan Will. Why the f*ck would they do that? It's pretty apparant that the three of them didn't get together and decide on that to be the message. It's the same thing with the newsletter. Arrgg it makes me so mad! Who ever is making that site should be hurt. Badly. Arggg -pete
[sdre-l]: will's drumming
Will has chronic pain in his hands that he developed while on tour with the foo fighters. He also said something to the effect of "i dont feel the need to beat the shit out of my drums anymore" in an article i read somewhere. This could explain his "sub-par" drumming. Personally I think he still rocks, he's just not as aggressive. Much like SDRE as a whole, I suppose. BTW- I listened to the rising tide 7 times in a row today. I need a f*cking job. And a life. -=pete dodd
[sdre-l]: Back again-- Got Rising Tide today
Hello all. I used to be on this list along time ago. Actually it wasn't on sixfootone but I think it was still the same list. Alas... I'm sure i am not the first to review this-- hell for all i know the whole album is probably on napster and i was the last one to get it--- but here are my thoughts. I got the Rising Tide today and i must say it is pretty freaking intense. I've had two listens and I'm starting on my third as we speak. First of all the production is something... I like it but i can already imagine all the indie "stripped down" kids bitching about it. The production makes this a big rock album-- sort of like Guided By Voices "Do The Collapse" And talking about big rock-- the first guitar line of the album is as huge a rock riff as you will ever get. Very nice. Jeremy's voice is about two inches from ridiculous. He is starting to sound like Getty Lee (sp?) from Rush (at times) but he never falls into cheeseyness. He comes close but pulls out at the last minute. The fact that he can sing so high and all over the place and not sound cheesy is amazing. This is probably the best vocal record i've heard since Radiohead "The Bends." Well-- let me think if i can come up with any negative stuff Umm-- If you only like Diary and LP2 then you won't like this. They certainly aren't as heavy anymore-- although this record has some heavy songs. Jeremy doesn't scream at all... atleast that i've heard-- there might be some hidden in the background as the production is very lush. There are about four songs that don't sound like old SDRE at all. They are a little bit more poppy but remain quite dark. That's not a complaint, I actually like those songs the most. Right now my favorite track is "Killed by an Angel" but I know that will change very soon. So basically this album is what i'm sure you are all expecting. It sounds like an extension of HIFTBSO but it also forges into territory you never imagined. It sounds good-- the songs are good. The art is good-- oh yeah- i'm sure this has been covered at one point or another but the art is nearly identical to Godflesh's "Songs of love and Hate" I am just going off of memory but in my mind they look identical-- especially the back. And god, jeremy is a good bassist. Ok for the 3 of you that made it all the way to here could someone send a private email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and update me on all recent sdre news. I know about the tour but little else. And does anyone have any links to reviews of the album? Are there any in magazines yet? --pete dodd the drums are a little quiet for my tastes. -- yes! there you have it-- i have a complaint! I used to be a music critic so i was getting worried-- but, i guess i am more of SDRE fanboy than a critic anyway
