Run Quick EMO ALBUMS; Here I’ll POLL, You VOTED

i like the owls record

american football is gorgeous, my #8

dont sleep on the reuinion LP from last year either

both are must-listens for fans of "interesting drummers"

yeah the reunion record is really good!

Evan otm re the 89 cubs album, reckon it would have placed if it was on spotify

pretty awesome that juno made the top 15 ;)

i really hope a future lived in past tense places bc i've rarely had such a singular "i'm in love with everything about this" moment in my first listen to an album

YEAH

guys don't make me scream at work xxp YEAH

this is better than every jawbreaker record, fight me

u are 100% correct

brad which album?

One of my votes here

yeah love this alb

this is better than every jawbreaker record, fight me

I agree with you, let's not fight!!

did i share in the nominations/campaigning thread that: a few years ago i was dating someone with whom i had perfectly aligned '90s emo tastes (we even went to a hot water music show together); one night we were hanging out in her apartment and she was talking about how "sea anemone" really reflected her experience of depression and alcoholism and the general feeling of being displaced in your own life. then she played it, and we started to make out, and it was one of the most emotionally intense experiences i've ever had in my life

story is kinda lol and earnest in the telling but for real, what a song

brad which album?

oh

guess i should listen to juno

dude

i voted for perfecting loneliness, which i think is better than any jawbreaker album, but orange is also just incredibly wonderful. i wanna write a song like "chinatown" one day

I think you mentioned a general 'I made out to sea anemone once' but the specifics are good ty

thread needs more make out stories

the shins arent gonna place are they? i've told a makeout story about them on this board before.

the lyrics on orange rhyming dictionary are sophomore poetry workshop gone so right

I am the emonk, I have no good make-out stories

otm as hell

this is better than every jawbreaker record, fight me

like this album, voted for it, will still fight u

I mean I probably made out with a particular ex while listening to some of these records but she also told me that converge reminded her of the shitty hardcore band I was in at the time so I don't think she was really paying attention to the music

okay, it's better than dear you but

So this is weird: For years the Milwaukee Brewers used "Lemon Yellow Black" as the song they played during the between innings grounds crew cleanup at Miller Park at every game. Now I can't hear that riff without thinking of Prince Fielder and summer and plastic cups of cold domestic beer.

My makeout story is about 'Edge of the Deep Green Sea', so maybe next time.

lol @ brewers, that is awesome

hah

This is Blake's MO really. I love it but it's kind of what he does.

Also I'll dissent on all this Jets to Brazil > Jawbreaker nonsense.

thread police white hearse TV air wave methadone

You know what else is really good is that first Forgetters double 7".

OK, one more Jets to Brazil memory: I saw this show when I was a kid

I rode with a bunch of friends through a blizzard to Lancaster, PA to try to see JTB. The ride took several hours longer than anticipated, and we got to the club just as the front doors were opening and people began filing out, singing "Sweet Avenue" as they strolled past us.

xp Damn, that's a lineup! Yeah, I think there was some fluky thing where two tours crossed paths are were put onto one bill ($6! at a pretty big club). I couldn't even drive yet, but I can't imagine what the older Fugazi fans must have though. Emo was pretty derided in punk circles here around that time (lots of bad jokes about Tickle Me Emo dolls and shit), and the city had kind of a conflicted relationship with The Promise Ring back then
