Because that album sounds so good, especially the drums- so clear and crisp... I love the playing as well, of course, but some wonderful audio production went into it and I wanna like write them a letter or something

I'm looking for a website that would have been active around 2001-2006, it was kind of twee and had like paper cut out illustrations of robots and such. I remember one saying something like "put down that stereo, you will not find love on the radio." I feel like it was popular with people who listened to Rilo Kiley and The Postal Service??? Help!

First one I got added was Blake in 2007. I remember when I was adding Jason on it back around 2019, he was like “oh wow, I’ve never seen this one before” and started flipping through the article and looking at the other photos of them.

About twenty years ago, a group of ten or so people from the rk.net forums became very active on a Whispertown 2000 fan site forum. I think the full website name was Livin' In A Dream, but we called it LIAD. We had such a tight-knit little group for a while. I haven't kept in touch with anyone and was wondering if anyone from that forum is in this sub! I would be tickled if anyone from there saw me reaching across the internet void twenty years later to say hello.

Had to crop out something

I was at today's show. Jenny mentioned early on this would be their last show "for a minute." Not a surprise, but they were obviously having fun playing, so I kept thinking they'll be back soon.

But then the set ended after a bit of an extended jam on 'Portions for Foxes.' Everyone left the stage but Blake, who was switching off his pedals. Jenny came back out, and they hugged. I gotta say...it felt like a This Is It kinda moment.

saw them last night at the hf cemetery ! great show the moon was out and we even did a little glendora karaoke. anyway i didnt make it in time to get the night exclusive poster if anyone got an extra and is willing to part with it please let me know! got a tshirt too and lost it on my way out 😭 oh well what a night!

also, was anyone else 100% expecting jenny youre barely alive for the cemetery? i was a little let down but maybe i set myself up.

the HSB schedule just came out and wouldn't you know, there's Rilo Kiley playing at 4:50pm on Saturday 10/3! https://hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/rilo-kiley/

The Rilo Kiley Instagram said that Hollywood Forever was the "last headlining show of 2026," but this makes it seem way more final.

So I’ve known about Jenny Lewis for a while now because I’ve been a decent fan of The Postal Service since my dad introduced me a decade ago (I also knew her from The Wizard lol), but I had never listened to a Rilo Kiley song before with the exception of I guess “Silver Lining” playing in Supergirl but I really don’t remember where it was in there. But tonight, I decided to finally give them a listen and listened to their top songs on Spotify. I found “Silver Lining” and “Portions for Foxes” pretty good and then really really liked “With Arms Outstretched”. But what sold them for me was “A Better Son/Daughter”. Instant waterworks. That song encapsulates so much pain that it really had an effect on me. I followed that with “The Execution Of All Things”, “Pictures Of Success”, and “Science Vs. Romance”, all of which were rock solid. What other tracks would you recommend for a newbie? I’ve loved everything I’ve heard so far so I’m open for whatever!

I grew up listening to all of the Saddle Creek bands, but Rilo Kiley didn't fully click with me until recently. I just relistened to The Execution of All Things and I'm stunned by how brilliant it is and how long it took me to realize it. I'm thinking about how much rarer it is to feel like an album is soundtracking your life once you're well into adulthood (when I think of the albums I listened to when I was in high school and college, I can recall specific moments I attach to them).

So I was wondering: Does anyone have a personal story related to the album that they'd be open to sharing? Maybe how you discovered it, or a song from it that inspired you somehow, or a memory connected to it? I really love hearing how other people relate to the music they listen to.

Does anyone remember a B-side back in the early 2000s where Jenny is on the phone with another woman? She is going on about "are you going to pick me up?" and then says "well, then I'm not going to go." She's pretty extra in this song and I used to love it. Would love to listen to it again if only I could remember what song it is!

I saw Supergirl last night and I absolutely (embarrassingly) squealed when I heard Rilo! I feel like they don't get a lot of soundtrack love, especially in mainstream cinema, so it was definitely a pleasant surprise. Btw, of you're considering seeing it, I'd give the movie a solid 7/10 overall. I expected it to be way worse based on the reviews but it actually a lot of fun.

Hello, I know there is a video of this show on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV2xhNgsDY8), but the video quality is only 480p (I think the original broadcast was 720p). I occasionally scour the corners of the internet for a higher definition recording, but I have never found one. If anyone has access to this and could share it, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Looking through old show posters I had collected from Kilby Court back in the day, I noticed one was for Rilo Kiley. I didn’t even know I had it. It doesn’t list a year but I’m pretty sure it’s from 2001 or 2002. Only $6 to see them.

I just wanted to say Pictures of Success is one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s such a “slice of life” (i don’t know how to explain it) and I could bawl my eyes out to it any time i want. It’s so wonderful and I think it beats The Absence of God to become my favorite RK song.

It's been said before that it is known as "Thankful Meditation". At some point, in a short documentary on youtube, Jenny seems to say that it's a short story that she wrote playing on a wonky recorder. Does anyone know the real answer?

Does anyone think they’ll add more US dates to the 2026 tour? Three shows was not enough for me!
Also, shoutout to the folx at the TN, MI, and Chicago Theater shows!💋#puremichigan

I found this one in my searches, but little else beyond TV show performances. The Austin City Limits one is great.

Would love something from the reunion dates. Did they not promote the tour on late night etc?

Jenny not being in the top 100 songwriters is criminal for “good that won’t come out” alone, thoughts on this reader curated list?

also- the lack of diversity is mystifying.
