Wow, so Bivouac is the best

among all the other reasons to thank this poll i have to give it credit for getting me into the blood brothers years after i dismissed them as not my thing

I've probably listened to Bivouac more than any other album I own.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 22:53 (seven years ago) link
I think I listened to it when I was 14 and totally didn't get it at the time and have ignored it since. Favourite discovery of the rollout so far
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 22:59 (seven years ago) link
i need to listen to that, and 3 mile pilot, and pinegrove, and bedhead
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:03 (seven years ago) link
That Unwound record has never done a single thing for me, I've tried a handful of times over the years, cant find a way in.
Pinegrove was my highest 21st Century entry (at #11)
Self-edit. Obviously that's not true, I just forgot maths for a second. It is my favourite of this decade's emo releases though.

Jawbreaker have been a band I'd basically avoided because of the name? Which was an error
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:20 (seven years ago) link
'Fernandez Must Die' just started up on the Fireside album and me and imago looked up at each other which means 'omg'
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:37 (seven years ago) link
Wait you two are together? I'm confused
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:39 (seven years ago) link
um why has nobody mentioned this album *ever*
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:40 (seven years ago) link
we're charlton's very own ilx poll voting bloc. a formidable force
imago do you like three mile pilot
― gr8080, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:42 (seven years ago) link
never heard. we're going to get around to everything though!
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:42 (seven years ago) link
they are like post-punk fairytale music
― gr8080, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:43 (seven years ago) link
this thread will be some rich, rich pickings for music i never really got around to before and an incredibly valuable resource of emotional rock music
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:43 (seven years ago) link
imago needs to hear Three Mile Pilot before he goes to sleep. Brilliant band.

My fave 3MP songhttps://youtu.be/KDnrSu-lju4
― Odysseus, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:48 (seven years ago) link
We have to listen to the entirety of every Dashboard release before that can happen.
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:49 (seven years ago) link
that's a mistake! Every 3MP release is awesome. and Black Heart Procession were damn brilliant too.
― Odysseus, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:50 (seven years ago) link
The 3MP song gr80 posted is great. Reminds me of Broken Social Scene a bit?
Loads on here to discover. Laughed seeing Bedhead placed, but thinking about it, it makes perfect sense to see it under the emo banner. Good work guys.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:54 (seven years ago) link
I love that lj is going to be forced to sit through multiple (!) dashboard albums
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:55 (seven years ago) link
Fireside is straight-up ridic, amazing music

i only know emo through a freshman year crash course amongst friends but
99. Elliott - False Cathedrals - massive album, "drive on to me" is a mfin ANTHEM, like caffeinated "don't stop believing". the follow up album song in the air is really good too.

Fireside has been crushing! Instant favourite. Ty so much to whoever voted it in
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:25 (seven years ago) link
i discovered it during the campaigning thread! it's amazing!

the ilx emo poll: the greatest juno discovery thread of all time
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:36 (seven years ago) link
I do not know what that is! If it's not likely to show up during the rollout then I'll be sure to play it once I'm caught up between days, xp
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:39 (seven years ago) link
Lol Sund4r, had you not heard it before? I think it's sole potency lies on 'your hair is everywhere' being such a weird and ubiquitous sentiment
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:41 (seven years ago) link
I heard it in 00/01 or when it was new but not since.
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:43 (seven years ago) link
Oh wow Further Seems Forever sound awful so far.
which further seems forever singer?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:44 (seven years ago) link
some iterations of the band are better than others (tho which are better and which are worse appears to be a subject of dispute)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:45 (seven years ago) link
I think it was "So Cold" and "The Sound" that Youtube was giving me.
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:46 (seven years ago) link
Dashboard Confessional sounds like the most emo band of them all

as far as random discoveries go that angel hair record is pretty entertaining jehu impression.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:11 (seven years ago) link
Isn't it more extreme than Drive Like Jehu? DLJ played at 45 maybe?
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:19 (seven years ago) link
Catching up with this now as well. It's so nice! The vocalist reminds me of the Less Than Jake guy. I don't mean that in a bad way.
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:27 (seven years ago) link
this poll reinforces the fact that i have no idea what emo is (bedhead, really?) -- i didn't nominate anything, just voted for the shit i liked
good rollout so far tho! (mrs mordy's emo boy comment is a fave.) count me among those who tried blood brothers several times to no avail
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:30 (seven years ago) link
bedhead is the most wtf so far when it comes to emoness
