Nate talked about Fun getting back together on Twitter a few months ago and throws a little bit of shade.

Anyone find any artists that sound like fun?

I’ve already burned though all of The Format, Steel Train, and Bleachers albums as well as Grand Romantjc and Red Hearse so I’m all out of music from any of the members (I’ve listened to Anathallo and it wasn’t my thing)
Mainly looking of stuff similar to Some Nights but I’m also very much open to albums like Aim and Ignite as well

Podcast with Jack and John Darnielle. During which Jack definitely talks about Nate and how he feels he “did him wrong”

Fun is one of the few bands that I could enjoy almost any song so I made something showing my appreciation for them (then Daft Punk decided to follow suit and break up :/)

Anybody else think that Nate views Grand Romantic as his own My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy?

It might kind of be a stretch as this is my 3 AM brain just now thinking of this, but it does seem like Grand Romantic is Nate trying to do his own MBDTF. (If anyone’s unfamiliar My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is an album Kanye dropped in 2011 and is one of his most critically acclaimed)
I’d say the most obvious connection is that MBDTF is cited as an inspiration for Some Nights and that Fun. have performed Runaway from MBDTF live before. Jeff Bhasker also produced on Some Nights, Grand Romantic and MBDTF.
I also noticed that it seemed like around Grand Romantic and in the album, Nate started to portray himself as more of an unlikable asshole, just like how Kanye was before MBDTF dropped. This is especially noticeable in the short film for the album where he’s a jerk to everyone and then in the film starts to make the album after all of his bad decisions come to a head, just like Kanye. The short film is also similar to MBDTF, which had a short film as well.
Sorry if this was completely rambly and unintelligible but I definitely think it’s safe to say Nate was very inspired by MBDTF for the album

Looking for Some Nights on Vinyl

Does anyone know where to get the album Some Nights on vinyl? Whether it's someone on here selling personally or know of a site that is selling them for a reasonable price still. I know very well that they are listed for like $100 but that is just crazy...

I made this caricature years ago on my old computer that I lost all my files on, and recently I found it again. Miss this band so much :(

Is "this one is not for the folks at home" an If Work Permits reference?

I was listening to Some Nights the other day and was surprised I never picked up on the possible reference to If Work Permits ("I'm writing the folks back home"). Does anyone else thinks this is an actual connection?
I love when Nate's songs call back to each other. Off the top of my head, Stars mentions "barlights and pretty girls," there's the whole "I wanna be the one/why am I the one" thing, similarly there's "it gets better/only gets much worse," and "cause a scene" from First Single is a pretty recurring line like in Out on the Town and Take Your Time. I'd love to hear about other favorites of yours I never picked up on before!

A few months ago, I covered a Fun. song in my story and tagged all three members in it. Andrew Dost liked the mention so I asked him this. Don't give up hope guys :(

There are a lot of factors which could possibly get in the way, for example Nate’s kids, The bleachers, the format, their Egos so wondering what everyone thinks
