There's Nowhere, Now I've Found You, That I Won't Go
Well, in my desperate attempts to have everyone enjoy The Academy Is..., here is a post for survivedestiny, since she had to look at my userinfo to figure out what 'T-A-I' stood for.
Ok, as I am a lazy bum (I had to go to work again, I was busy, really!), I am shamelessly linking the primers that writer_of_sins made, then adding some stuff.
N.B. I'm pretty sure all the dl links on the primers have expired. And I'm repeating some stuff too... because I'm really that lazy.
So. Here's the original TAI primer! From January 07
Now, other important people are Mike Carden, the guitarist. He gets his own primer because (a) it's amazing, and (b) if I could give my whole heart to three separate people entirely, he would be the third person I would pick out of everyone in the world.
Also, since the TAI primer is from the time before we loved Chiz, here's a primer on him. He's awesome, by the way.
Now for Downloads.
Almost Here, their first album from 2005.
Music videos chez youtube from this album:
Checkmarks
Slow Down
The Phrase That Pays
Santi, second full album, from 2007.
Music videos from Santi:
We've Got a Big Mess On Our Hands
Neighbors
Everything We Had
and Jack the Camera Guy made a video for their bonus song,40 Steps, which is the lead singer's favorite song, btw.
The other wonderful thing about TAI (well, one of many), is that they make TAI TV. Here are some favorite episodes.
Old school, with Tom and filmed by Jon Walker, who's now the bassist for Panic! at the Disco:
Double Duel. Quite possibly the funniest thing ever.
20 Questions. Mike is snarky.
New ones, with Chiz and filmed by Jack the Camera Guy.
Chicago/NYC, shows right around the release of Santi.
MUSTACHES. This one you have to watch because I gave them the mustaches and was about five feet away for a significant portion of filming. XD
Pause Button. This one is not only one of my favorites, it features Jack and Tony and James, three of the crew. Their crew rocks my socks. A lot.
How to Understand Australian. Chiz and James are from Australia. Oh, lost in translation!
Outtakes. I don't even remember this one so much. But outtakes! Come on!
Ok, so I realize this is a lame-ass primer on my part, no pictures or anything. But I'm tired. Believe me, if this interests you at all, I will get you pictures.
Oh, btw, if you are thinking of making a snide remark about how I am offering the albums for dl, STFU right now. Ok.
