Philadelphia pop-punks Modern Baseball recently dropped by the Rolling Stone office to play us "Wedding Singer" from their new album album 'Holy Ghost'.
I love Brendan's smile towards the end of the song. Not sure if he was just happy playing the song, or thought of something funny, but seeing those guys smile when playing is just the coolest feeling
I've been a Modern Baseball fan for a few months, and it seems I can never slow down enough to fully appreciate an album, but I finally sat down to listen to Holy Ghost the other day, and this was by far my favorite song. The intro inspired me to pick up my guitar and play It:) It's been forever since I've felt inspired to play something on guitar that made me feel really alive. I love this band so much, and I think chances are low that they ever come back, but I would really really love it for sure. I had a missed opportunity to see them once, and I wish I could have made it happen then:/
Find it hard to believe tonight In a curiously well-kept house built before I was born This year we're gonna stamp out the sorry feeling Rain on summer vacation five blocks from Tasker-Morris Station Fucked for the ride home if I can't find two bills to rub together before Midnight rolls around I thought you heard me sing your spirit's sound But you turned in early Left the TV flickering its staged romance across your face Said goodbye from the front porch I always wonder if you're smiling at us or if you're looking away I'd ask, but either way I feel sorry for you Locked your love in a screenshot They all work that way but I've been wishing I could say that I don't The selfish side likes to think my execution's more Of an honest one, these artists all cut cloth with underscored conviction Blacked out, friction flies me back to Baltimore to wait for you But I'm stuck here too Until midnight rolls around I thought you heard me sing your spirit's sound But you turned in early Left the TV flickering its staged romance across your face
I loved seeing yall at the cats cradle in North carolina. and I can't wait to see yall the 8th. Thank you. A special thanks to Brendan for being so sweet in person.

+tssfallen There's already a pretty good version on Ultimate Guitar, but essentially it's C moving to Am through C/B (C with B as a bass note), also some F and G. Occasionally some Dm or D7 too, nothing too fancy.
I came here to say the same thing... it made me really happy watching the earlier performances, and these two always looked at each other with a deep love and admiration. Does anyone know what happened between them?
