-- Posted by boywithstars on 12:48 am on Jan. 4, 2008 From Adam on Myspace: "Dear You, I've been pretty slack keeping you posted on the goings on in the world of Jawbreaker, so here's a few answers to some frequently asked questions regarding the old group: 1. Yes, the documentary is still on, still being made. The hold up is that Keith and Tim have yet to find a distributor who is willing to pony up the closing costs to finish this thing (flights, editing time, blowing it up to 35mm. etc.). So they are doing this as a labor of love in between their regular gigs and family time. I trust this love bodes well for the finished product. A few months back they came to SF and we got some really great footage with all three of us and Billy Anderson (who worked on Bivouac, 24 Hour Revenge Therapy and a couple one-offs as a producer/engineer). We even played together, but didn't roll footage out of both respect for the sanctity of the moment and fear that we'd suck. Anyway, I have audio of it. Maybe I'll post that some day. 2. A lot of you ask about where you can get the records. Well, if your local mom and pop don't carry them, you can always order them through midheaven.com. They should have vinyl even. If the digital domain is your thing, I’ll paste the links to iTunes and Cinderclock (for swag) below and you'll be a click away to keeping food on my table. Thanks, and happy winter. Adam" Holy crap! A jawbreaker reunion without an audience? Adam, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that all of us would really like to hear that audio, and would love to see you guys playing together... -- Posted by Andon on 8:33 am on Jan. 4, 2008 Agreed! -- Posted by bald_steve on 12:56 pm on Jan. 4, 2008 I third that motion.  I'll give you rights to my non-existent first born. -- Posted by kasey on 12:56 pm on Jan. 4, 2008 most exciting news i've heard in a long, long time!  wow! -- Posted by alex on 9:38 pm on Jan. 4, 2008 Sad the updates go to myspace now.  Slightly bittersweet I see a snap of it all from a comment.  Oh well.  Grateful nonetheless. -- Posted by jerry curlan on 11:04 pm on Jan. 4, 2008 HAWT. -- Posted by boywithstars on 11:43 pm on Jan. 4, 2008 Quote: from alex on 9:38 pm on Jan. 4, 2008 Sad the updates go to myspace now.  Slightly bittersweet I see a snap of it all from a comment.  Oh well.  Grateful nonetheless. Where did you find that pic? -- Posted by Your Mom on 12:48 am on Jan. 5, 2008 I would sell my Hannah Montana tickets to see a reunion!  (Yeah right...like I could get my hands on Hannah Montana tickets.  If I had that kind of money/influence, I wouldn't be wasting my time talking to you people). (Edited by Your Mom at 3:49 am on Jan. 5, 2008) -- Posted by David K on 8:18 am on Jan. 5, 2008 When the guys got all their levels set, guitars tuned, drum positioned, what are the chances the first song that they collectively played was Busy? Ha ha ha. Doubt they had a "set list" but wonder what era stuff they found themselves playing?!? -- Posted by incognito on 9:52 am on Jan. 5, 2008 Quote: from alex on 9:38 pm on Jan. 4, 2008 Sad the updates go to myspace now.  Slightly bittersweet I see a snap of it all from a comment.  Oh well.  Grateful nonetheless.

That man's recorded some pretty bitchin' bands. -- Posted by kouka666 on 9:22 am on Jan. 7, 2008 what was the reason for recording the audio/video, was it for the doc? also, was it all instrumental or did blake sing at all? -- Posted by sean on 12:28 pm on Jan. 7, 2008 Quote: from adam on 2:37 pm on Jan. 6, 2008 i tried to upload a song to the myspace page but it was bivouac (no vocals on what we played that day) but it was rejected as being too long. i'll try again! left to right that's chris, shawn from the studio, blake, billy anderson (prod/engine) and me adam...

People are nerdy and stupid??? -- Posted by boywithstars on 11:00 am on Jan. 10, 2008 More from Adam.... "A few "new items" i read mentioned the doc and us playing together. it was a reunion of sorts - we hadn't seen billy a since our last sf show in 1996. but i doubt i'll put up any songs from that recent session. the best one is way too long a file to upload, and anyway, i didn't even ask the boys if they had an opinion - bad. and hey, check out the interview with billy in the blog section of our page - it's a good read, especially if you're into nuts-and-bolts recording tech. i'm remastering unfun next month wit jon golden. i'll let you know release date later and yes, it'll be available on itunes and all the other usual suspects. okay, thanks for (still?) listening! adam" I'm usually not to big of a fan of remasters, but I think Unfun could be a good one, I'm looking forward to it.  As opposed to the Remastered "Energy" from Operation Ivy, waaaay unessicary. -- Posted by kouka666 on 11:54 am on Jan. 10, 2008 Quote: from DividedByZero on 2:48 pm on Jan. 8, 2008 Blake looks insanely tan, especially for Dec/Jan. reminded me of that leathery lady from There's Something About Mary.. -- Posted by DividedByZero on 1:32 pm on Jan. 10, 2008 You haven't heard? BS now runs a salon in Brooklyn - Tantastic Planet -- Posted by Your Mom on 3:53 pm on Jan. 10, 2008 I also would have accepted: I Love Your Skin So Much It's Killing Us Both or Bad Tan, Everyone's Fault -- Posted by jerry curlan on 5:45 pm on Jan. 10, 2008 Unfun remaster? Why, Adam, why, says the original master freaks including me. -- Posted by adam on 12:42 am on Jan. 11, 2008 first off, the original plates for the unfun lp are long gone. i could do it from the cd but that's lame. also, john g originally mastered the lp way back in the day. then he remastered for cd when we went to cd (believe it or not, that's how fuckin old we are. when that record first came out, not that many people -- certainly the "punks" were buying cds). so it's already been remastered. this will be thrice the charm and if i know john, there likely won't be a lot of tinkering with the overall sound (though i always thought it could literally be LOUDER and maybe less compressed. kosher? -- Posted by jerry curlan on 12:49 am on Jan. 11, 2008 Oh. *throws away cd, buys original lp* Any extras on this new release? -- Posted by adam on 1:23 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 well. it won't be a revisionist/greedo shoots first thing, anyway. and on that, we were NEVER happy with how bivouac was mastered. i'd really like john to get his mits on that one... -- Posted by Your Mom on 1:06 pm on Jan. 14, 2008 From Adam's keyboard to Punknews' ears: http://www.punknews.org/article/27288 (Edited by Your Mom at 4:06 pm on Jan. 14, 2008) -- Posted by bald steve on 7:16 am on Jan. 15, 2008 I'll buy the remastered unfun, any chance to throw any extras onto it?  I'll even take cleaned up versions of live stuff I already have, those tracks that keep showing up on all the new compilations are pretty stellar.   What's not to like about Bivouac? PS I really hate that everybody just sends updates through myspace, I don't even consider going there to get news about stuff I like. -- Posted by drfaustusf4 on 8:10 am on Jan. 15, 2008 C'mon Adam, spill the beans... Did you guys even discuss doing a reunion show?????  Last time I saw you guys play was in Gainesville, FL. in 1996. My friends and I ran into Blake at a Laundromat in the afternoon of the day of the show.   -- Posted by kouka666 on 8:32 am on Jan. 15, 2008 if there are going to be extras, how about some of the demo songs (ie "Rich" & "Down" from demo #1 or "Driven", "Imaginary War", or "Want" from #2)? -- Posted by locationiseverything on 8:13 pm on Jan. 15, 2008 A Bivouac reissue would be interesting. It is definitely the most misunderstood album in the band's catalogue. I would love to see a proper CD tracklisting. -- Posted by locationiseverything on 8:14 pm on Jan. 15, 2008 Quote: from DividedByZero on 2:48 pm on Jan. 8, 2008 Adam, you look good man. Hope all is well. -Hugh (Edited by locationiseverything at 11:15 pm on Jan. 15, 2008) -- Posted by adam on 9:20 am on Jan. 17, 2008 you're too kind. there's maybe half my hair under that hat. -- Posted by jawbroke on 7:39 am on Jan. 22, 2008 Cool news. I need to check this forum more than once every few months. :) We're all getting older. The band still looks good. Don't wait too long for the reunion. -- Posted by alex on 5:05 pm on Mar. 12, 2009 Any update on the Unfun reissue?  I really hate going to the hot topic website :)
