The first time I heard it I said something along the line of "Jurley?, what kind of name is that?" I always found the "J" to be pretty clearly pronounced. The name's just not very appealing, and I also have to say that it is one of my lesser favorites. It's still good, just not my thing.
But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?

the change into the bridge of jurley, i feel, is one of their finest.
You know you have problems, with both money and alcohol, when you find yourself shoving beers down your pants outside a Features show.

True, the old stuff probably wouldn't stack up to the new, but the old stuff, in its own rite, is really cool. Radio One!

As for Jurley, I think hearing live helps. It's easy to get into then because every one echoes back, "Likes to do" and whatnot. When I first heard it live and every one was singing along, I thought it was a cover. It's a fun song, but it's a misfit now...kinda like REM covering Aerosmith.
That's right...NO AVATAR!!!

All y'all can take all your avatars and SHOVE IT!!

"Radio One" is a very good song...as far as old songs are concerned, i also like "roger's theme" and "anti-gravity class of '93", BUT i definitely enjoy their newer material over any of the older songs which they have now (for the most part) abandoned.

"Roger's Theme" is actually the old song I think it would make the most sense for them to bring back (for special occasions). I think that it fits their current trends as well as Armani, and they've played that relatively recently at a few shows.
