You know, the only Weakerthans I even remember is the first one, which was released in 1997. Since then, I’ve been completely ignorant of the band. I should probably know better, but I don’t.

Also, The Frequency isn’t just my favorite song on the album – it’s my favorite JTB song of all time. So I win.

having jets at 3 makes it forgivable to completely exclude the weakerthans. i just listened to perfecting loneliness today and i’d put the frequency at like 7 or 8 on that album but those are my ears… or maybe i’m just an asshole.
