[edit] Article organisation

I am not too familiar with the Wikipedia style guide, but I get the feeling this article would look and read a lot better if we got rid of the huge logo, downsized the band photo, and had all the discography on one page. It's not warranted splitting up such a short article over several sections. Galaga88 14:23, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eh?

"The feeling at the meeting was described by Lytle as the result of a breakdown in communication between the band members" - is the band simply the members as a whole? Conflicted individuals...

Awesome random notes, Mr. anonymous. Burn my bridge for me. Sleepy_boy_on_the_tracks


[edit] Needs Fixing

One of the "Split Singles," Alan Parsons... is not in fact split, and that article mistakenly says that it is a non-album single. In fact, it was released on the It's a Cool Cool Christmas Compilation. Additionally, the "compilations" section puts all bootlegs in there, which aren't really compilations. - Zeichman —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zeichman (talkcontribs) 02:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Most underrated band of the last few years

Yeah, yeah, I know this discussion page isn't for discussing the actual band.. but I just had to say that these guys' music has helped me so much through such dark times. Plus, they helped me not lose my faith in contemporary music. Anyone who's ever listened, actually listened, to any of their albums knows that there is actual Quality (with a capital Q, like Pirsig's) in their art. It saddens me deeply that they broke up; one of my dreams in life is to meet Jason and just, you know, shake his friggin' hand. Maybe even buy him a beer. It's uncanny how these guys have often put into words and music my own exact feelings. If you ever read this, thank you, really, thank you from the bottom of my heart, from Guatemala! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SaulPerdomo (talkcontribs) 09:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] Indietronic Link

The linked word 'indietronic' just links to the electronic music, which doesn't mention 'indietronic' as far as I can see. --Notquitethere (talk) 13:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
