Maybe this a stupid question...

But where did the name of this site come from?

"and i spent time 'neath the tressels
with the punks and the dimestore saints
kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat"

I'm guessing?

Oh, thanks. I haven't listened to "Sink or Swim" enough. Can't find a copy around here...I did find one once but it was $27. Rip off. Probably end up ordering it soon.

Yup, a line from the Navesink Banks.


Incidentally a dimestore saint is a little plastic model of a saint or Jesus sold in dimestores. But I'm not totally sure what it specifically means in the context of the song.

no, this is a good question... here is the pointless history of this forum that no one really cares about...

JULY 2008: www.thegaslightanthem.forumotion.com starts up... the name is way to long, it takes for ever to show up on google search and no one can remember which order to put big forum and pro in.

A few months later: www.dimestoresaints.com starts up, we work together to make one forum. We use DSS as the website but transfer the content from BFP

Today: everything is perfect.
