Lulu Letty: And the Beat Goes On: Jimmy Eat World

And the Beat Goes On: Jimmy Eat World

There are a few bands that strongly remind me of my college experience (1999-2003)- Air, The Strokes, The White Stripes, Coldplay...and Jimmy Eat World.

So, remember how yesterday I mentioned picking up something I've wanted for a long time...well, meet Millicent, my new (vintage) bicycle!
Vintage Bicycle
This is the craigslist photo, so please ignore the fuzziness. I'm going to spend all day Saturday painting her a lovely hunter green- to match my wellies, of course. I'll have proper photos for you on Sunday.

Happy weekend!

XOXO

Jimmy Eat World has a special place in my heart. Reminds me of high school. =D One of the few bands that I listened to then that I still really like now.

Nothing like the Clarity album,don't you agree? I love it. My husband and I harmonize together listening to it every year around Christmas time. He saw them in 1999 and only about 30 people were there. pretty odd. I don't know if I saw them or not the following year (I saw 3 shows every weekend for 3 years so my memory has died in that sense). I don't know many people who have listened to them also since their earlier days. Most people I knew started talking about them two years after I was already listening to them, which was nice, but weird since they were not interested in hearing lesser known bands when I told them about them back then. That is always a little sad, but oh well. Yey Jimmy Eat World!! I need to listen more to their newer albums. I've had them, but I hardly listen to them. I mainly listen to Static Prevails, Clarity, and Bleed American. I do like their two other albums though. and I still have to hear their EP and self titled album as well - I probably have them too. I'm bad. . . :: sigh ::

I used to listen to Jimmy Eat World all the time! I kinda forgot about them though. I should put them on my iPod again!

You bike is super! I hope you have lots of fun on it!

Vanessa  – (April 24, 2010 9:58 AM)  

Love the bike! I have a nice vintage bike as well. Love it but needs repairing after the winter.

I like Jimmy Eat World. Or at least I am pretty sure I do, Matt keeps track of my bands for me. ;) I am that musically impaired.

I love the bike! I tried to get a bike a couple of years ago but it didn't work out.

Meaghan Kelly  – (April 24, 2010 11:36 AM)  

oh Maria she's perfect! What a beauty! I've had my eye out for a perfect one too, and man you really hit the jackpot!
I miss being able to read yourblog every morning, but i suppose this way i just get to browse it for longer reading posts i've missed and gazing at your pretty pictures!
Your comment on my last blog meant so much to me! I really appreciate all your kindness and how you comment even when I never post!

I love that you posted about Jimmy Eat World! Their first three albums were kind of my high school life too and I used to stay up late doing my calculus homework and listening to them. I loved that their name came from a picture that one of the band member's nephews drew with a caption that said 'Jimmy Eat World.' Adorable!

xo Jenny

Hey, I was just letting you know that I'm tagging you in my "Looks I Love" Sunday post! Hope it's okay :]

PinkBow  – (April 25, 2010 2:11 AM)

Manja  – (April 25, 2010 7:00 AM)  

I used to listen to Jimmy Eat World back in High School :)

Oh, that bike is so cute! I have been meaning to paint my bike and make it all pretty for over two years, whoops. Well, but to me riding my bike is nothing too special because it is my main means of transportation here :)

Dottie  – (April 25, 2010 3:26 PM)  

Bicycle!! I can't wait to see how she looks all green. I hope you post lots of pics with her. Spread the bikey love :)

Millicent is very pretty!
I adore Jimmy Eat World's music, Bleed American was part of the soundtrack to my summer in the US too :-)
