I regret not having any of their albums besides Frame and Canvas. But it's one of those rare albums that I can listen to over and over without skipping a track. Oh and "Killing a Camera" is like my personal anthem.

As wonderful as Braid is I like Hey Mercedes better. Yeah I'm that guy.
My first real band used to cover "A-List Actress". I still love listening to that album.

Frame & Canvas is such a great album. I haven't listened to that in years, going to play it right now.

HIGH FIVES FOR BEING THAT GUY WHEN I'M THAT GUY TOO!!!

(for lack of a "high five" smiley)
"Bells" and "Stay Six" were personal faves, but "A-List Actress" was certainly up there. Also, participating in the Hey Mercedes mix-CD swap turned me on to The Stranglers.
That said, I would definitely go see a Braid reunion tour if it ever happened and swung my way.

Braid already did a reunion tour like 7 years ago, with Minus the bear and Murder by death on the bill. I wish i went.
My favourite Hey Mercedes jam is definitely Bells. Shit's like pop gold.
And Bob can definitely sing awesome.. sometimes. By Hey Mercedes i think he figured it out.
I've been heavy into both HM & Braid as of late.
and yesterday i figured out forever got shorter on guitar.

Yeah, but wasn't it just a midwestern thing? I didn't think they made it to the East Coast. Either way, I shoulda found a way to go...

I've been rocking Hey Mercedes Loses Control a lot lately. This group of guys clearly knows how to make a solid album, because there isn't one song on here that I don't like.
