DESCRIPTION:

Indie pop cratediggers, behold the miracle: Record Store Day 2026, Merge Records is reissuing Words of Wisdom and Hope, the 2002 album by Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair. Available on vinyl for the first time since its original 2002 release, Words of Wisdom and Hope is accompanied by a bonus 7-inch, "Always In My Heart" b/w "Rock Me Tonight," with the B-side's North American debut making this the definitive edition of the album.
Words of Wisdom and Hope is both a curio within Jad Fair's sprawling catalog and a left turn for Teenage Fanclub after the harmony-drenched jangle-pop of Howdy! Its charms"" which are unrelenting from the moment Fair breaks in over the Fanclub's groove on "Behold the Miracle" to document the sparkle in the eye of a girl"" are as obvious as they are mysterious: Is it Fair's spur-of-the-moment earnestness bringing out the rawer edges of Teenage Fanclub? Is it the polish of a band at one of several career peaks revealing new facets of the legendary Half Japanese frontman's songwriting?
Whatever it is, their sensibilities mesh together perfectly. Words of Wisdom and Hope finds the sweet spot between Teenage Fanclub's gorgeous Glaswegian pop soundscapes and Jad Fair's twitchy takes on love and monsters, like if Jonathan Richman were at the helm of Loaded-era Velvet Underground, somehow wide-eyed in its innocence and winkingly sly all at once. An album aimed directly at the biggest, tingliest part of the heart"" play it loud for young crushes, and louder for something to remember young love by.

Perfect for me (update, took 1 star away) (2nd update Jul 20, 2022)
Size: 8, Color: Pastel Pack, Size: 8, Color: Pastel Pack
This product is amazing. You get 10 pairs of underwear in 5 pastel colors. Colors are exactly as shown. I used an 18 inch ruler in my pictures to show size and stretchability. The height from pant leg bottom to waist line is long so you dont worry about any buttcrack showing. It covers your thighs, too. These are nice because they added some space between the legs instead of stitching it like yoga pants where the pants legs come up and just merge together at the crotch. This underwear gives room for your lady bits and prevents cameltoes/front wedgies. The fabric on the hip area is just as stretchable as the waistband. 2021 September edit: I still love these and so I bought another pack. Simply because my other, uncomfortable underwear (not this pack) has irritated me enough. I realized that I was usually happier with my clothing when I was wearing these underwear because they are just so comfortable (and my fav colors)! They have held up very well and at least with the pastel pack, the colors still look good. The writing on the inside has held up as well. $50 for 10 super comfy pairs of underwear is great imo. Second update: I compared my new pairs to my old ones (ssme size ordered) and the waistband used to be manufactured to stretch about 2 more inches or so. The new way they created the hem is less stretchy so I took a star off my rating. My newer pairs of this underwesr will be my last choice to wear for the day compared to my first order. The blue pair in the video is part of my first order of these and pink is a pair from my newer purchase. Yes that video was a bit tricky to make lol. The pink pair was made in Pakistan and the blue was made in India. Jul 20th update: I now have significant holes in my first pairs. But this is due to both lots of wearing, and also because my cats like to knead on my clean clothes.

Mixed Feelings
Ok, so... It seems there's not much quality control for these underpants. About half of them have the back seam way too short so it doesn't come as far up in the back as it should, making it very uncomfortable if you wear them and bend forward. Be aware that there are four pretty thick seams on them. Two going right up the front and back and the two on the sides. Positives are the colors are great, and the material is very soft. I actually just wear these to bed, inside-out because of the harsh seams, and I wear them two sizes bigger than I am so they are nice and loose. I ordered my correct size to wear regularly and found that the inconsistency in the back seam was just too much for me. I will not be ordering these again.

Buyer beware
Size: 8, Color: Pastel Pack
Got these and tried on one pair cause seriously who tries on all 10 pairs when they buy underwear. They fit good a little loose but I figure they will shrink a little in the dryer. So as the label states wash before wearing I washed them all. Well then I go to put a pair on and they are way to small and I'm thinking there is no way they shrunk that much in the dryer which was on low setting. So I try on a different color one on and they fit fine. So now I'm trying more on and same thing some are good, some are small and some are big. What the heck they all say the same size inside. So this is clearly a manufacturing defect issue so I reach out to the seller. Well after going back and forth they only want to give me 30% of my purchase price back due to me having washed them and now they can't resell them. Well from where I'm sitting you shouldn't be trying to resell them anyway because they aren't even the same size. I don't usually leave bad reviews but after having read so many good ones on here and that being the reason why I bought them I figure people should be aware that they to may have the issue. So try them all on before washing.
