I want to say this first, I did not judge Panic based on the fact they are emo, I judged them because I have unfortunately heard that album a brazillion times.

I don't see how this can't be emo, llok at the songwriting. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", not emo? It's all just pretentious bullshit to me.

Yeah, that's the song title, but the actual lyrics aren't really emo, in my eyes. An emo lyric would be something like "Oh, she dumped me, I'm so sad, I miss her so much, I just want to be with her, I love her and she doesn't know it." blah blah blah. Whiny, annoying crap.

Lyrically, Panic! aren't really like that. I can see how people could classify them that way, I just personally don't agree with it.

To all their own.

Absolutely.

Plus, at least we can always fall back on the fact that we think Radiohead is one of the greatest bands, if not the greatest band, of the last 20 years.

iPod on hip hop shuffle.

I've been listening to the new David Gilmour album, On an Island, for most of the day. I am liking it so far.

Listening to Xeper by Vader right now.

I feel like listening to a little Van Halen after seeing Eddie at the Oscars parties...

Bumped so the other thread will go away....

Listening to a little Muddy Waters right now

Listening to Neko Case's new album...

It's a shame that Mtv turned 'emo' into a dirty word. It was pretty ****ing sweet in 1993. Check out some old Sunny Day Real Estate. That **** will knock you on your ass.

I don't like them, but those of you who do might care that The Hold Steady signed to Vagrant, that cesspool of a record label.

Very true about Sunny Day. Diary is an all-time classic disc.

I just got David Gilmore's new album and it's awesome.

i finally remembered to bring my ipod to work.
so currently:
terror- lowest of the low
if you like heavy music i strongly suggest giving this a spin.

iPod on shuffle.

Last song: "Down" by Ben Kweller (from On My Way)
Current song: "The Bends" by Radiohead (from, you guessed it, The Bends)

I'm currently listening to Thrice. I'm so 1-dimensional

No doubt. I would love to play it for all the mall emo kids just to be like, "hey, i liked emo before you were born."

Henry Adam Curtis - Andante from Concerto in B

Beck - Odelay

havent listened to Beck in sooo long, not sure why.

Today, it's Led Zeppelin's II and Paul Simon's There Goes Rhymin' Simon

What do you guys think of the Arctic Monkeys? The NME goes crazy like this every now and again, but I don't get it with these guys. What am I missing? Sounds like The Strokes without melodies to me. /shrug.

Widespread Panic - Til the Medicine Takes

"how many mics" by the fugees.

Nice to see this thread back where it belongs.


At work tonight I listened to the Fugees as well

"ain't too proud to beg" TLC

"umi says" mos def

Big Poppa- biggie

the hardest rocking gay punk band in all of Norway - TURBONEGRO

mo money, mo problems

Black on Both Sides is a masterpiece.

The Killing Tree - Chicago hardcore, with members of Rise Against. Not sure if they're officially broken up or just on hiatus with Rise Against's current success. Incredible vocalist. Perfect for when the blinds get big in a turbo tournament, or any tournament for that matter.

Thursday

My favorite screamo band. The lyrics in the opening song on this album is what caught my attention. "We follow white lines til the sunset, crash my car everyday the same way" The song is Understanding in a Car Crash. The song is more metaphorical using my interpretation Great live band. Good when you're running hot and everything seems right in the world.

Rise Above-24 Black Flag Song to benefit the West Memphis Three

Punk rock staple Black flag, covered by some of today's best vocalists. I'm a lifelong Rollins fan. I certainly don't agree with all of his views, but his opinion is always worth hearing. The West Memphis Three are 3 boys from Arkansas who were convicted of a triple murder at the height of "Satanic Panic", in the early 90s. I'm not fully convinced of their innocence, even after reading Devil's Knot. I do know there is no way they should have been convicted, as the entire case was botched from start to finish. If you like true crime, it's a good read. I have Paradise Lost on my list from blockbuster online. The case still has steam, as evidenced by the "long wait" as far as availablity goes. I can truely identify, as I'm around the same age as as those "kids". I remember back in the late late 80s, when we would go to the bookstore, steal books on "How to tell if you're child is becoming a satanist and how you can save his soul, etc.", and read about all the "signs" that your child has joined the occult. We would then proceed to graffiti our book covers with satanic symbols and "satanic" bands, hoping for some sliver of attention. I guess the books didn't sell too well to parents, because no one ever noticed. Luckily I was saved from Motley Crue and Iron Maiden by Soundgarden and Nirvana. Anyway, I digress.......this album is a great workout album, especially if you do a treadmill or stationary bike. 60 second to 2 minute blasts of pure ROCK POWA!! Look at the damn lineup if you don't believe me.

Thrice

Great musicians, great writing. I'm still partial to Illusion of Safety, just because it feels more raw and personal to me. That being said, the Artist in the Ambulance is a good album, although it has a tinge of politics in it that doesn't appeal to me. The title track is a great song. Anyone who knows an underappreciated paramedic should have them listen to it, or at least read the lyrics. I've had three listen, and every one was touched. Vheissu is their latest, and is growing on me slowly. It gets better everytime I listen to it though. Great for when you're getting cold decked at all 4 of your NL rings.

NIN today. Grohl playing drums on With Teeth = extreme sexiness.

Bach - Tocatta in D minor

Yea, they're alright. I like them, but they're just another brit rock band to me.

NME is ****ing crazy over them, I saw somewhere that they listed their album as like the 5th best British album ever. What a joke.

mk speaks the truth, kiddies.

I listened to Black on Both Sides last night. The night before that was Quality, by Talib Kweli.

Hoobastank- The Reason

third eye blind...the older album

man that song is so bad, i suggest you turn it off, delete it, and forget it.

overplayed...yes, bad...no

HAHAHA, Hoobastank...you listen to Hoobastank.

That did it for me. I'm getting off FCP.


Hoobastank. "The Reason."

hahahaha

FYP

I have the Jenny Lewis (from Rilo Kiley) cover of the Traveling Wilbury's "Handle With Care" stuck in my mind....

...been humming the tune for "Novocaine For the Soul" by The Eels all day too.

FYP

right the first time

Aesop Rock - Daylight
