"now shut up and listen to the music!" by John Hampson
I was reeeeeeeally bored, so I had a look at my recommendaytions on Amazon.co.uk. Since I'd bought loads of Goo's stuff, Nine Days were near the top of my recommendations, so I decided to check them out on KaZaA. I downloaded some of the Madding Crowd - which at the time I didn't think was that good, but I kept coming back to a little song called 257 Weeks. After a week, all the songs were stuck in my head, so I bought the CD and it swiftly became one of my favourites.
i first saw the video for absolutely on VH1, i believe, thought the song was awesome and then bought the madding crowd. after a few listens, i thought it was awesome. about the time they were recording SHU, i first checked out the nine days website. also during this time, i listened to TMC more and it became one of my favorite cds. this is when i really started getting into them. and the rest is history...

Around February 2000 I was looking on Napster for Third Eye Blind rarities, and I came up with a result titled Third Eye Blind - Another Day, which I had obviously never heard of. I downloaded and when I listened to it, my handy Winamp player listed the artist as Nine Days. I loved the song so much that I started searching for more, but I found nothing. I eventually gave up but then a couple months later I saw the ending of a video on Vh1 and I liked the song so I decided to stick around and see who it was by and sure enough it was Nine Days. I then rebegan my search and I found Absolutely, If I Am and I think one other. I loved all three and then counted down the days till the CD came out, and bought it that day. I then stayed up all night listening to it on repeat, and loved every second.
It was a long time ago when Story of a girl was getting some heavy air play, I was working at a bowling alley as a party hostess/Q-zar marshall, and mini golf attendant...
anyways, I spent most of the summer in a mini golf shack listening to the radio, and I just fell in love with the song, bought the cd, started going to shows, met some amazing people, and the rest is history.
wow, if i'd only known then, that by this time I'd be working at a mortgage company.... (sigh) oh well.

He was like "nine days" ... and switched it to Absolutely and i realized the song i had heard before.. i was like..

I got one for all of you. I remember when WDRE was playing them when they were doing a highlight of local acts. I got into them hearing "This Music" How about that for Old school stuff.
I would have the radio put me to sleep every night and one night Absolutely came on. It hit me hard, I thought it was the coolest song ever! The next night it came on again around the same time (I assume it was on some sort of schedule). Every night for about two weeks I would make sure I was in bed in time to hear it. Then I bought the CD and I've never grown tired of it

I was on the internet in like April of 2000 and was listening to a local radio station when "Absolutely" came one and after the song went off the DJ said that Ninedays the band who had sung that song was coming to this Free Hoo Ha Concert along with like 7 other bands and so we got the free tickets and went to see Ninedays and met them and thats how i became a fan
This is actually one of my favorite stories to tell...
It was November of 1999, and I was in the car with my cousin driving back from Roosevelt Field mall. She spent the entire time complaining about her boyfriend, how she wasn't sure if it was working, thought she was always doing something wrong, thought he was going to leave her, etc.....which really interested me since he was my ex and all. I originally went into a monologue talking about the wonders feet, how cool it is that they can hold up your whole body - I was that desperate to change the subject. So finally I gave up and went for the drown her out by turning up the radio tuned into LIR method. As soon as I turned it up "Absolutely" began play and the song just swallowed me up. I heard them say it was an LIR contest winner called nine days, but of course I forgot that by the next day, and proceeded to spend the next 5 months obsessing over finding out more about this band. I finally got my way at the album release at the Sam Goody in Roosevelt Field =)

I would go and see them back when they were playing every monday nite at the Village Pub in Port Jeff. The set was done completely acoustic.

Heard 'Absolutely' on the first episode of lizzie mcguire!
As France is the worst place to find good US rock bands, it wasn't easy to hear about the band... But one day, in front of an episode of Dawson's creek I heard Absolutely and I said... I need to know how to play this song! I downloaded it, and that was it. The best pop song ever, it's part of History now (well, for me it is...).

In 2000... that's when I first heard Absolutey. I really liked the song and I bought the entire cd without listening to it in the stores. Good thing too! I will never ever regret that!. The cd stayed in my discman for a good 13 months. I remember driving my friends crazy by singing Revolve haha... Ah... those were the days my friends... when I was still young (ahum)...

"We'll never know 'till we try..."
Like a good many Long Islanders, I first heard the band on WLIR as the winners of their 1997 local band of the year contest with "This Music".
I moved in w/ KT freshman year of college....and she was into this band called Nine Days and just went on and on about them..then she freaked out cuz they were playin the Rec room for FREE...so I went w/ her...and we met Christina...and KT was a freak and knew the answer to every question that the radio people asked the crowd..and when Johna nd Brian walked in the front doors, I thought KT was gonna jump them...then we sat 2 feet from the boys as they played like 3 songs..adn we met them..and so I got hooked cuz of KT
Early spring, 2000. Probably around March. I'm in the shower, listening to my shower radio and washing my hair. This insanely happy song catches my attention. I cease my shampooing action. I forget to rinse, lather, repeat. I press my ear to the radio and finish listening - and THANK GOD the DJ announced that this was "Brand-new Mix music, Absolutely (Story of a Girl), by Nine Days". I went to WalMart and bought the CD that afternoon, and for two hours that night listened to "257 Weeks" on repeat. It was one of my favorite CDs that spring, but became one of my top two after a roadtrip that summer. I listened to it on the way to school every day my senior year - and then, wonder of wonders, ND played GradNite at Disney that year! Having been a fan for over a year by then, the scream I let out when they announced this at a senior meeting in the school theatre is probably STILL echoing :-p
'tis a beautiful love story
