Paramore Covers Jimmy Eat World?!

WOW . . .Paramore is doing "Sweetness".  Is this actually happening, or did I have a stroke.
I guess today is the day of post about super-young vs. not-as-young anymore.

This is so bizzare to watch/hear.
"Sweetness" was my JAAAAAAAAAM in 2000.  Right when I was first getting my feet wet in the whole "There's music that doesn't involve rapping??  WHAT?!" (thank you, college)  Jimmy Eat world was one of the first bands that I got into.  Oh, to be 18 again (no thanks, really).  I remember, my roomate at the time, who first got me into this kida stuff, and I were incredibly proud of ourselves because we managed to download a version of the song that wasn't on the album.  Not even the "demo" version that shows up some places.  The audio was cheaper, the vocals sounded alot younger, there was a longer acoustic bit in the middle...it was fantastic.  To this day, it's one of the prizes of my .mp3 collection, as I haven't been able to find another copy in 9yrs.  Good times.

Jimmy Eat World

I love this idea:
Jimmy Eat World have announced a quick 10-city tour for next year, but there's a catch. On this go-around, they will only be playing songs from their 1999 album, Clarity, as a 10th anniversary celebration.

The demo version of "Sweetness" (don't you dare tell me it's from their self-titled album in '01, I'll fight you) is easily on my list of "Top 10 Songs That Changed The Way I Listen to Music", and it's the absolute crown jewel of my mp3 empire (nope, and it ain't the one you can get on iTunes these days). It would be dope to cross a live performance of that one off my list.

P.S. If a J-E-W show isn't emo enough for you, dig this . . .The Get Up Kids are back together.
