Modern Minstrels

The Best of Me and You're So Last Summer

The Starting Line were on Jimmy Kimmel last night and performed The Best of Me. Their performance was excellent, though I was hoping they'd get to play 2 songs. I'm looking forward to seeing them October 4th at the Drive Thru Invasion Tour and their acoustic EP/DVD entitled Make Yourself at Home is due out around the end of November.

Taking Back Sunday will be on Kimmel tonight, and my guess is they'll be performing You're So Last Summer which they just shot a video for with Flava Flav. That song has one of my favorite lyrics in it: "The truth is you could slit my throat and with my one last gasphing breath I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt." This will be their first TV appearance with the 2 new members of the band. If they play 2 songs, I would have to guess it would be Cute Without the 'e', Cut From the Team, which is a great song and the music video, which is based on Fight Club, is even cooler.

Update: The Starting Line's performance on Kimmel can be downloaded at Punk Rock Vids. Damn, that was fast.
