The Dismemberment Plan

I'm very saddened that not many people have heard of this group. Or maybe it's just the people I talk to. Anywho. I just bought Emergency and I and I must say it is one of my favorites now. They are so spaztic. It's a shame they disbanded in 2003. :\

They're hella spastic dude. Listen to their album "Change" for a completly different sound.

Thats what I like about them. Their guitars are like random and off-key. It's like they got together one rehearsal and the guitarist said "Look at my new idea for a song!" and flailed his hands on the guitar and they set it to print.

I used to listen to "8.5 Minutes" all the time when I had to make the trek to my old job. It definetly bashed my head sufficiently enough to wake me.

This is like my favourite band at the moment. "The Dismemberment Plan is Terrified" is one of the very few albums out there that keeps me guessing the whole listenthrough- it's so incredibly spastic and weird, I love it! Just imagining the songs from that album in a live setting gives me chills- from the sounds of it, Travis Morrison would be an absolute madman in a live setting. It's like pure energy in music-form.

The amazing thing about the D-Plan was that they sounded so random and odd, but if you listen really closely, everything was actually meticulously arranged and intentional. The out-of-tune guitar sound is actually just really jarring blue chords, for the most part (unless you're listening to a bootleg where the guitars are honestly out of tune).

That and the speaking-no-wait-singing-no-wait-screaming-like-a-maniac style, which is hard to imitate without becoming kind of self-conscious.

I totally agree about Travis Morrison's crazy vocal skills. Especially Girl O'Clock. Wow.

Yeah that was another good one. Does anybody know if Travis Morrison's solo album is good? I've read mixed reviews...

Happy to see some DC band love here!  My hometown puts out some good stuff.  I love Dismemberment Plan.

I haven't heard T-Mo's solo album yet, but here's a link to Dismemberment Plan's live performance on KEXP:

Like it getting a score of 0.0 from Pitchfork, which is unbelievable?

You think THAT's spastic? Check out The Dismemberment Plan is Terrified. That record is pretty underrated, IMO. Amazing Indiespaz.

Also, The Plan = my favorite band.

As for Travis' solo debut. It creates it's own genre. Suckcore. Ok, I'll be nice. Dissapointcore. Either way, it makes me cry. I wish he'd do more spaz and take out some of the cheesey keyboards (Change's chorus is vomit-inducing).

WHY TRAVIS WHY!?

EDIT: I wish they'd release some major collection for them. It would be great to have some live stuff and rare tracks. Just thinking about something like that would make me hard. :P

I do not really have anything new to add here, but I adore the Dismemberment Plan.  Their shows were always fun too.

I loved his LL Cool J cover and the way he messed up on The City, but I can't seem to find a way to put any of the songs on my MP3 player, and I'd also love to listen to a full-band performance.
