i adopted my dog when she was 8 weeks old & the family that had the dog that had the litter she was a part of let their pre-teen girls name all the puppies. mine was named Charlotte for what i could only assume was a GC ref.
i named her Charlie

xp But maybe that's because the former are more traditionally emo.

also remember Travistan? his schtick didn't last past the dissolution of the band
I've actually never heard this. I have no idea what it even sounds like. Excited to find out!

nothing feels good was my #1 without even a second thought, some days it feels like my #1 album of all time
WARNING: TMI/EMO:i just listened to NFG on my morning commute in anticipation of its placing today (walking in 30°weather lol). this week’s rollout has beautifully coincided with an emotionally heavy period for me at work and the result was some legit fighting back exhaustion-tears from behind my sunglasses
END OF EMO
contrasting with simon’s description of domestica:
one of the starkest and most stressful rock albums ever, no relief or release at all (or when it comes it feels mocking)
NFG swerves and crashes between stress and relief at such a rapid clip that the result is a dizzying euphoria.
if the loud-quiet-loud formula the pixes perfected is emotional arithmetic , promise ring’s sonics feel like emotional chaos theory
i could go on but I’ll just defy thread convention and instead link to a brilliant pitchfork review for a change, ian cohen’s writeup of the 2015 re-release: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21125-nothing-feels-good/
