Cap'n Jazz & American Football

There has been many covers of a-ha's hit song Take On Me, but none of them - none!- has ever been as wonderful as the one made by Cap'n Jazz, the greatest of all Kinsella-bands. In 1989, the Kinsella brothers Tim and Mike started the band that would be one of the most influential emo bands in history. They broke up in 1995, but in 2010 they reunited for some shows, and decided to keep on going.
The music just makes me want to dance, and I feel so happy. The first and second time I listened through Analphabetapolothology I didn't notice the screams. I still don't understand how I missed them.
The Kinsellas have had a lot of musical projects since '95 (both solo and together, I believe), but the only one that I've heard that has caught my eye (or ear, maybe) is American Football, which, compared to CnJ, is a bit slower and.... Well, I don't know what to write. Sadder, maybe? Give them both a listen and decide for yourself.
