Heartthrob is nine years young, today, and to celebrate, Sara annotated the song that inspired our pop transformation. Was it "energetically stuck" or genius? Listen now | A Little Pop
Talking about bridges, I can't believe you left out the bridge (or the last part) of "You Wouldn't Like Me" in Still Jealous :C That's one of my favorite songs and that last part is my favorite part, and as I was listening to it, I was waiting for that exciting moment, and nothing hahaha gone... :/
The back and forth banter between you two during your shows has always made me laugh. It may, possibly, be even funnier to see it in text. I have been a long time fan and love all your albums, but I will say Heartthrob has seen the most plays on my iTunes. I remember when I first listened, and I thought, "Woah. This is NOT like The Con or Sainthood. This is so different, but also still very much them." I also enjoyed bragging to others (as if I knew you???) like, MY favorite artists can do different things with their brand, and they still kick ass. It's hard to pick a favorite song from this album, but Closer is at the top of the list. I can tell you from personal experience singing this in my car that nothing about this song or album felt "energetically stuck."
Guys, could somebody help me? This Closer version is AMAZING. Sara mentioned Warehouse March 2021....is there any way to get access to those concert? Youtube, whatever. Cannot find anything
Gah, this whole album saved me during a really formative period while I was in college and figuring out that I am bisexual. I can't pick just one song because they all resonate with me, but Shock to Your System hit me on a spiritual level. Thank you, Sara. My only tattoo so far is Who gave you reason? in my own handwriting. Who gave me reason to do the things I do? And who gave me reason to feel how I'm feeling? It reminds me that I am powerless over everything in life except myself. And that my depression does not define me.
Gosh, it was 8+yrs ago when I watched you in Shanghai! Hope you still remember that time in China. I couldn’t get over you until a week after, or 2, or never hahaha, and til now I still remember Tegan’s dance moves on Heartthrob’s songs, lol. I was so thrilled watching you live (the only time). Hope you’ll get back on tour soon and consider Dubai, too next ;)
the FYI about sex in LTRs is sending me. I love the idea of annotations of each other’s songs but even more than that I LOVE the counter-annotations from the other person.
Just thought I’d also leave a comment to say I’m in the UK and the Where Does The Good Go acoustic just came out. It sounds great and a nice surprise to go to sleep to. 👌🏼😊
Just joined, and am just about to finish High School, and this is my first comment so please bear with me while I geek out. At only a year ahead of you both, and being from Calgary (still) as well as seemingly having a lot in common with your mom makes me feel (unreasonably) close to you, so I can’t overstate how fucking cool it is to read this and feel like I’m more ‘in the know’ than others. Thank you so much for sharing things like this- you’re hilarious and your stuff is so much fun to read. I’m super excited to see everything you’ve got coming! 😊 (Alsoyouresuperfuckingcoolandbeautifuljustsaying.)
Forced myself to wait a whole day to reply, so that I wouldn't come on here and say something super embarrassing (like this?). I tried- a little- not to reply at all, but, I mean, c'mon. I'm star-struck. You get it. Tegan or Sara replied to me, AND Tegan and Sara's freaking MOM liked my comment. And now I can die. Thank you.
Well. Looks like I embarrassed myself, after all. I thought about deleting that comment after I realized that TnSMOM is NOT, after all, *the* mom. But, I'm trying this new thing where own my shit, so the comment stays.
Still feeling special about TnSMOM liking it, though ;)

So, what do you have planned for the 10th Anniversary of Heartthrob? Something awesome I assume.
Acoustic Closer is just mind blowing. Thank you for sharing!
I agree completely it's a totally different song acoustically imo, there's a real melancholic feel to it that I like.

“People have sex in long term relationships. FYI.” LOL LOL

It's so interesting knowing how a song started and seeing the different stages it goes through before it becomes the final verison.
Omg this is the content I live for. I love the notes from each of you. What a gift with the audio, too. You're so generous 💜

Hi Danielle! Was just in Calgary! What a great weather weekend :) Thanks for being here!!!!!!

Right....I'm still praying for a read and response to my intro🤞You are lucky.
