Hey guys, if you want to see another site the Features have created, you can go to www.purevolume.com/thefeatures. They're working on it, so be patient - I think. Yes, that's right.

They're working on it, or you're working on it?

Didn't you read the guy's signature? He's obviously talked with Matt Pelham before so of course each and every member of the band is intimately involved with the creation of that web site.

bwaaaaaaaaahahahahaha.

cool man.

"By the way, have you guys even visited the site? I don't think you'd be dissing it if you actually had. It's really pretty cool. I mean, you can totally tell that the band was involved in the creation process. It just screams 'we're the features!' god, i'm kind of thirsty. i wonder if anyone has any water...?" - Me
"Yea, there's a whole pitcher right there. Take what you need." - Matt Pelham

"...Take what you need...weirdo." - Matt Pelham

I don't see how it's any different than their already popular myspace site....

Thanks for helping out and volunteering your time, Matthew. Meeks told me you'll be helping out with the internet stuff.

I'm sure the band appreciates it, even if the holier-than-thou, bitch-rather-than-contribute folks who post here don't.

And you guys wonder why this board has been so dead lately...

I wasn't trying to be "holier-than-thou" I just honestly don't see how this is better than myspace. I'm really not into the music scene, to the extent of many here, and so perhaps I'm wrong?

Carl wasn't talking about you Joey!. . . GAHHHD

Thanks Carl. I didn't know helping the guys out would mean rolling around in land mines with the fans. I consider myself a fan, albeit I was not introduced to the Features until September 13, 2004. I've taken to memorizing all the older stuff - and I respect the path this band has taken to get to where they are. Personally, I'm excited about helping this band out - they're on their way up, and hardcore fans like us are lucky to be involved before they start playing stuff like Starwood, Madison Square, etc. I hope that you guys will help me out as far as input and where these sites need to go. It's people like us who know what we want to see. Thanks.

On a related note, I just noticed that the FeaturesFist.com domain name expired last week.

weak

Whatever happened to the "fist team"? And who won the drawings?

the quote is funny. excuuuuuuuuse us, carl-suh.

meeks called.

he said this guy was a tryhard gaywad monkey boy, but that he works for free so we should like him but it's ok if we don't for obvious reasons.

They're still at Carl's mom's house.

Some people really don't have anything better to do than just sit around a bitch and moan. You know, I was just gonna drop it, but some people are just pathetic. How about this, forget who's doing the site, and just support the band you claim to enjoy. Grow up already.

On a related note... another website/blogsite is "under construction" for The Features. Be sure to check out tagworld.com/thefeatures.

did you really get a new username?

I'm not the same guy but we do work together.

okay okay. i guess it's pretty cool that you do all that work for the features and take only some of their pitcher of water and use of that story in your signature as payment. props, man.

In the interest of full disclosure, do you work together or go to school together?

We both go to MTSU and work collaboratively on Features material.

In case you haven't visited the purevolume page lately, The Features have added 4 songs, including a live version of their classic Temporary Blues. You don't even need to register to listen!

Thanks for getting this going, Matthew.

That's a cool pic. From what show does this version of Temporary Blues come? I don't really remember the old way they played it, but I'm guessing this is it.

It sounds like the 5-2-02 the boro show. I like the way they play it now better (though it's not really that different).

No, I think its the 8-24-02 show at 12th and Porter.

And I'm kinda fond of the old way. Although, many are the days I find myself at work singing ".....I wanna goooo home...."

That was the second Features show that I went to (the first being in April), and I was completely hooked after that.

And, like Carl said, thanks Matthew.

Thank YOU, guys. I would really like more fan input as to what would be good for these other sites. Essentially, I want direction and material, as well as a framework from Meeks, other ideas from the band, and still more ideas from guys like us who watch these boards religiously.

Guys like us? Seems I got a letter from George W saying something like that back in 2004... hmmmmm

Are you implying that he sounds like a politician, PF?

In the interest of full disclosure
does cc really stand for cocksucking conservative?

I'm confused. I thought conservatives were against that.

i hear conservatives get it up the ass hourly.

I'd really like to meet Richard Nixon too. He was a great president...oh wait...nevermind.

"Guys Like Us" was my favorite Dan Akroyd/Chevy Chase vehicle, and subsequently my favorite Paul McCartney song.

On a related note, happy birthday Richard Nixon's Head.

Futurama...excellent.

I agree, in the interest of full disclosure - and since you guys brought it up and not me - I guess I should explain myself a little. I'm 19, I go to MTSU, I help the Features out a little, and I'm running for County Commissioner. Sure, helping the Features out is a great hobby (which will pick up quickly with the second album release), but my career looks like it is going to be in politics. The CC stands for County Commissioner.

Need a bitchin' Coutny Commish commercial made?

Nah, but thanks for the offer. It would be unwise to spend money on something of that nature.
