I would say all Oberst things count as emo until you hit, say, Cassadaga.

(both Desaparecidos records are damn near essential pop-punk, also)
imo bright eyes doesn't count, desaparecidos does (the first is as straight up of an emo record as you can get in its design), but i won't fight anyone over it

How do people feel about 'The Blood, The Body, The Machine'?

thermals have more in common with like the breeders than they do emo
is this just an emo/poppunk thing or is screamo / hardcore gonna be involved too?
― Spottie, Friday, 10 February 2017 21:30 (nine years ago)
.... that's a tough call
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 February 2017 21:31 (nine years ago)
Fevers and Mirrors is maybe the most emo thing ever
I think Thermals almost count as pop-punk but I'm inclined to agree with brad
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 February 2017 21:32 (nine years ago)
imo it will be more fun if we include screamo
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 February 2017 21:33 (nine years ago)
screamo for sure going to be included
― Mordy, Friday, 10 February 2017 21:34 (nine years ago)
in terms of the actual songwriting? eh
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 February 2017 21:35 (nine years ago)
hell yeah, at least the bits I remember ("The Calendar Hung Itself" stands out for this), though I could use a relisten
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 February 2017 21:38 (nine years ago)
"calendar" is the closest it gets imo

anyway iirc i said upthread i wouldn't fight anyone over this so i'm not sure why i'm doing it now lol
lol I don't know why I'm arguing about records I have 0% chance of voting for and haven't listened to in full in over a decade
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 February 2017 21:42 (nine years ago)
Haha. not really sure where else to post this but there's just enough pop-punk in here to warrant sharing. I spent like 2 hours messing w this last night:http://themagicipod.comnormally i scoff at stuff like that but i couldn't resist

is that a radio rip or something? the compression makes it unlistenable for me
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 11 February 2017 15:05 (nine years ago)
nature of soundcloud i think. try bandcamp? https://bloodcommand.bandcamp.com/track/cult-drugs or spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/01wtyqu6JITgDWi4jKdk0R

Not sure if it got discussed anywhere last year (still no search feature?) but I keep coming back to this Ian Sweet LP. Not many other bands that can pick me up and make my stomach churn in the same song

Still catching up on everything but faves from this year have been Oliver Houston and Dryjacket. This track is particularly delightful:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h01AQ7_3C6g
It's also been a dream winter for emo gigs in the UK! So far I've caught The Hotelier, Tiny Moving Parts, The Wonder Years, PUP, Pinegrove, Crying... Martha this month. TMP were the happiest band I have ever seen in my life.
Am I missing a Spotify/YouTube playlist for this year's thread? If not, I'll happily throw one together.

brad I finally was able to finish that acceptance album today. really good front to back modern pop rock album thanks for the rec.

new sorority noise album out - it's kinda like a deja entendu knock-off but the second track lyrics about fucking god and listening to the gaslight anthem and i'm enjoying it. some lyrical clunkers but this is def the best thing they've ever done imo.
― Mordy, Saturday, 18 March 2017 00:43 (nine years ago)
lol when i wrote that i had no idea they just covered "Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis" as a single

it's embarrassing to admit but i'm kinda smitten w/ this sorority noise album
the line "I'm not trying to say it's easy / But I'm trying to say it's fine" has been stuck in my head for days
