8/10/2023 0 Comments Jimmy eat world are you listening![]() I spent many weeks writing about them in the chapter dedicated to the band in my forthcoming book ( SELLOUT by Dan Ozzi, in stores October 26, for more info visit ). I’ve been thinking about Jimmy Eat World a lot lately. Anyway, enough rambling! Let’s get to the “point”… Listen to all past episodes in the meantime, on Apple or Spotify. It was a very sincere and emotional (but also fun) episode and I’m excited to release that later this week. I recorded a podcast episode last week wherein both myself and my guest started crying. So, for today’s REPLY ALT, I thought I would repay the favor by being a real jerk and writing about why I’m not a fan of their most popular song! (But ayyy no disrespect to them!) Overall, I find them to just be generally nice men. Hey speaking of people who were interviewed for My Book, all four members of Jimmy Eat World kindly agreed to let me badger them with questions for months at a time. The show is called Friday Beers and even though I don’t drink, maybe I will get all hecked up on cream soda and spill some book details early. (I’m also a huge fan of his music-not just his work in At the Drive-In and Sparta but that solo album he released back in 2011 is a nice little gem in his catalog.) He invited me and I said sure. Jim is a big part of the book and I really enjoy chatting with him. BUT I am going to be a guest on Jim Ward’s Instagram Live show this Friday. ![]() Number two: Mercifully, I am gonna hold off on doing press-type things until closer to the release date in October, so I will refrain from begging you to watch/read/listen to me blab for a few months. (Sorry but I paid like $20 for that domain and I’m determined to get every penny’s worth.) If you haven’t pre-ordered it, you can do so at. So I am genuinely sorry if I didn’t get back to you but I really appreciate the support. All the notifications and texts and emails started piling up and my brain is just incapable of allowing me to enjoy compliments in a healthy way so I had a big freakout where I turned my phone off for the day and took a long walk while listening to Okkervil River. Number one: THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the nice messages about the SELLOUT announcement last week. Before we get to today’s topic, a few housekeeping items… Hello and welcome to REPLY ALT, the greatest newsletter about music in the entire world.
