    Stay home is the best American Football song. I used to love Never Meant, but I think Stay Home perfectly expresses what American Football attempts to convey to its audience; the facts of life, the melancholy nature of it, and finally acceptance of the order and chaos of the various interactions and experiences that people have and make with each other.

    I'm in the midst of looking for inspiration for one of my band's new song's bassline, and for some reason since I heard the track I thought of American Football as the vibe I want it to take. Hearing the interview part of this performance and hearing Mike say that their bassist can hear and think of their songs in a way he wouldn't have thought of (colours) hit a nerve :)
    Had never heard an interview with them, nor a full live show for that matter, only to their records but hearing him say that and Nate's reaction to that comment made me feel "right" about thinking of this band for the song we're working on

    The first 3.15 minutes are mind-boggling. The tension is high and is dissolved by the bass line that make me crazy. The rest of the show is great. Welcome back American Football, you are geniuses!
