i would be remiss if i didnt mention my love for all things that have stemmed from cap n’ jazz. i used to shop at this cool record store in tinley park, il called record swap. there used to be a location in homewood and there still might be one in champaign/urbana. in any event, it was a killer record store and the staff was awesome. it was at record swap that i had my first encounter with cap n jazz. although it started as a total love affair, the various incarnations of the off shoots has tested my love, somewhat.
i will say this, if you are looking for a pop/punk record to whet your palette, you need to look no further than either cap n jazz’s analphabetapolothology, if you are lucky you may be able to find the original lp on ebay, or the promise ring’s nothing feels good.? nothing feels good, imo, is probably the greatest pop/punk record in history.? it is so hook ladden and catchy its almost embarrasing.? so here are some cap n jazz related tracks from various cap n jazz related bands.
little league – cap n’ jazz
why did we ever meet – promise ring
red paint – promise ring
i never trusted the russians – promise ring
picture postcard – promise ring
trial at orleans – joan of arc
white out – joan of arc
im 5 senses (none of them are common) – joan of arc
the deep south – promise ring
the united colors of the gap – joan of arc
there are so many more cap n jazz/promise ring/joan of arc off shoots than i have provided.? check out jade tree’s site or just google tin kinsella or cap n jazz or promise ring.? most of it is pretty solid stuff, but there are some real clunkers in the bunch.
here is another gratuitous photo of annie of giant drag.

Where’s American Football???
Used to listen to Promise Ring A LOT back in high school. Thanks for the post.
That’s a nice post. These guys don’t get talked about too much anymore, and PFork always intentionally gives Joan of Arc a 1.8.
of course joan of arc is hit or miss but imo more hit than miss.
How Memory Works and Live in Chicago are near-classics.
