i first gotin to Far a few years ago. I heard funeral for a friend on scuzz and then decided to get the album this got me into rock music in general. After that i read a review of water and solutions in metal hammer and they said they were similar to FFAF, so i bought the album. Not only are Far not like FFAF but Far are much better!! hearing Far got me into other bands like mineral and sunny day real estate.
if someone could upload all of fars albums including 'listening game' and earlier ones that would be amazing an i will love you forever lol.
Oh and Jonah rules all!! except maybe chino :)
if no one does anything by thursday i can upload some of it
wow yeah that would be great! just listening game would be fine :) thx alot!

oneline drawing is great - jonahs voice is so unique and cool! wish i had the chance to see a far gig though :(
Havent really checked out far but i will now because ffaf has become one of my favorite bands. I dont really like emo bands at all but i wouldnt really put funeral down as an emo band. Casually dressed is a great album and their stuff from before that is even better. Hours is a bit softer but still has some great songs. I'm a big ffaf fan so i'll take your word for it and check out FAR.
jonah = really overrated
what?serious?
Quote from: stu on Sep 08, 2007, 12:40 AM
jonah = really overrated
yeah, I don't really get it either. I love Far, but it's just as much the music as the vocals that make them so good. most of the other stuff I've heard with Jonah was pretty lousy. I saw a video where he does Be Quiet And Drive, just him and his guitar... well it sucked.

Just wanted to tell you all that a brand new Far b-side has surfaced. It's called 9 miles (from the tin cans era), features grady from will haven & can be heard in www.myspace.com/far. Check it, it's pretty tight. I know there's another b-side from the water & solutions era, but only a clip can be heard on their dvd (which I don't have, if somebody has that motherfucker on digital format would be appreciated).

i have that song somewhere on a burned cd in mp3 format along with another one. i believe its called "heather"
anyways, i have no idea where the cd is now, but i'm sure i still have it though.
Brand new? More like brand old LOL! Naw just kidding maybe, but I've had this song for like 1.5 years or something...I got it from Tuck's (fellow board member and Will Haven fan) Will Haven fansite.
Anyways, on the subject of rare Far songs...on the enhanced CD portion of the disc there's a video titled "Montage" that shows photos of the band playing live and stuff, with a looped instrumental song playing in the background. I was wondering if someone could extract/rip the audio from it and turn it into mp3 fomat? I know it's an odd-assed request and I hope I'm not asking for too much... but it would be much appreciated :D
Yo can that last request for now... I'd rather have the limited edition 10 track version of Quick...PLEASE this is so rare you can't even buy it...only 500 copies went out so... if someone could upload those I'd be a happy camper :D lol
I have the instrumental, it's called bingo and I'll upload it tonight. Nebontha. do you have the water & solutions dvd? i'd like to get a hold of a dvd rip.
Yeah I have the CD/DVD. Got it for Christmas a few years back, best Christmas present I ever got...
As to a DVD rip, I have no idea how to do such things...oh wait I just remembered there's a DVD player in this computer now...LOL
I'll see what I can do...no guarantees tho...
Here it's; Bingo!
http://www.mediafire.com/?ilqozkn1gne
Yo fuck me some of the vids on the DVD are like a gigabyte in size...Even if I can properly put them on my comp, there's very little chance of me being able to even upload them properly...and on a holiday weekend in a house where 2 other kids use the computer, and the computer's set so we're only able to be on it for 5 hours or less per day...

no problem man, thanks anyway.
Yeah. I am raising this thread from the dead just to expose my all time long live for Water and Solutions.
Bury White and Really Here and basically the whole album is so amazingly good.
I mean, it hits me down to the bottom of my heart with inspiration and this STRENGTH that I can't describe. Truly inspirational, and even surprisingly mature. I mean.. yeah.
I won't lie I have all their albums and i'm a fan, but they're my not my absolute favorite band. As far as Water & Solutions goes Far influenced a lot of bands with that album. I completely botched this post lol.
Water and Solutions is the only album I have by them. Checked others, wasn't satisfied. This does not make WaS seem at least a little worse:)

I know what you mean. They're earlier stuff is a lot different. Like I meant to say earlier...definitely not my favorite band, but they have some good material.
The title of this thread still makes me laugh.
OP needs to listen to more music.
the probability that some people have far as their favorite band is pretty big.personally I'd probably laugh if the case were that nobody in the world had them as favorite band, THAT would be funny
i've literally never even listened to far... maybe i should.
they got a couple of nice tunes... another way out, job's eyes, all go down are songs that's easy on the ear i think

Those two and Another Way out are the way to go, definetively.
What I ve Wanted To Say
Oh man! I had water and solutions and I didn't really fully enjoy it. It wasn't until I heard "job's eyes" on Buffy that I took interest. "Tin Cans with Strings to you" is fucking genius! And lately I've been listening to Water & Solutions and At Night We Live on repeat.
"Tin Cans With Strings To You" and "Water and Solutions" will be pressed on vinyl. Hopefully, they will be available on August. Super great news, I always wanted these on vinyl.
Pre orders are up! Looks like it will be out at the end of this month:
