its so weird how people have created different titles.

i dont know what Clap Clap is supposed to be called (i call it ed is sexy)

i think that Take Aim is supposed to be called Exhaustion (its on were never going home as exhaustion)

I also call it Ed Is Sexy, and I'd love to know where that name came from.

who is ed?

i have both ed is sexy and clap clap they are the same song no differences what-so-ever. but what is take aim?

I'm pretty sure "Ed is Sexy" was just a name given to the song by a fan. The band didn't actually name it after someone they know, they didn't even name it that.

"Take Aim" is another title given to the song "Exhaustion," they're really the same thing too.

exhaustian and ed is sexy are fan made names. against me actualy put out Clap Clap and Take Aim on the Remember Your Roots album, so the official titles for ed is sexy and exhaustian are Clap Clap and Take Aim respectively

This is what wiki says about it ... with a "citation needed" footnote:

In between these two releases, a demo was stolen from someone affiliated with the band at a joint Against Me!/Lucero show. The tracks were leaked to the Internet and some of the fan-given names included: "Miami," "How Low," "Joy," "Holy Shit," "Exhaustion", "Ed Is Sexy" and "Problems". When these songs appeared on Against Me!'s next album, they had the same names that were given to them on the demo by the band's listeners. This was a knowing snub to the thieves and an acknowledgment of the act on the part of Against Me!, a band generally known for their more lengthy and cryptic song titles.

Drumma, do you know if Warren is still sore about that?

lucero is good!

It's not something that comes up in regular conversation very often, but yeah - it was an invasion of their personal space. They had put their trust out to the world, and then were taken advantage of and disappointed - so from that perspective it still hurts.

But as with all things, there's no going back - learn from it and move on.

:[ Such a small percentage of the world would have done that, I hope they haven't lost all faith.

even though it sucks for them, its good for us in that we got to hear Exhaustion and Ed Is Sexy (even though exhaustion is on the dvd).

in my opinion, Exhaustion is better than any song off of SFAFC (with the exception of miami).

didnt someone end up sending them an email saying that they had done it and that they were sorry?

i probably agree. when i heard exhaustion, i was completely disappointed that it wasn't on any ep or lp.

i think i remember thats what made tom so mad...if u never heard those songs u wouldnt have been disappointed and thats exactly what he didnt want to happen...dont get me wrong im glad we heard them too its just really shitty for the band and for someone to do

Ed is sexy is one their more epic songs, it came from the Searching for a Former Clarity sessions I think

Yeah, he definitely mentioned someone sent them an anonymous (I'm pretty sure it was anonymous) letter/e-mail or something, and apologized for doing it.

I love the lyrics to this song.

if the water dries, the ground shakes and the sky turns black
If it was all over this minute, this second, is there something that you'd regret?
If we were written as a story, actors portrayed us in a movie
Our lives sung in a song on the radio
Would it make you want to sing along?

Would it show us all a reason to stay strong?
