I like mediocrityXkills

yeah, maybe he isn't that bad after all.
And im kinda curious how his version of the list looks like.

[Saturday Supercade]

And of course Wow's version of the list..

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, I'm eagerly awaiting to see the lists.

[whiteminority]

I think everyone should compile a list of about 10 emo and 10 screamo bands and they should be compiled and voted on which bands go on the list.

[RetiredAt21]

Orchid better be on the list.

[whiteminority]

**** right.

[RetiredAt21]

I don't think I could even come up with a list of ten screamo bands, really the only ones I listen to are Orchid, Circle Takes the Square, and Pg. 99.

[whiteminority]

Love Like... Electrocution is good.

[RetiredAt21]

I'll check them out, I've heard alot about them, most of it good.

[Wow]

Ask Dfelon. I did my part, unless he wants me to add more/go into more detail.

[-1up!-]

Love Like... Electrocution is good.

Quoted for absolute truth. Hot Cross is among my favorites in the genre, too.

[whiteminority]

How many bands did you put together?

Maybe that's not a bad idea...

[Wow]

I dunno. I probably did about 50. Dfelon still has stuff to add I think.

[RetiredAt21]

I kind of like Ben's idea.

[Wow]

Talk to Dfelon.

[whiteminority]

I kind of like Ben's idea.
thanks man. i do kick ***. :cool:

[RetiredAt21]

Has anyone talked to Dfelon about this?

[DFelon204409]

Chill. Unlike most of you I have to go to my job. My family is going away for the weekend so I'll have plenty of time to update the list and work on my mars volta t shirt contest thing (www.syntheticapparatus.com).

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Your competing too? I'm still working on mine

[RetiredAt21]

I will make a shirt, even though I'm not really a fan of the Mars Volta.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Oh I like the Mars Volta a lot.

[RetiredAt21]

I like the two guitar players, they are really good.

[DFelon204409]

The one guitar player you mean.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Omar is really good.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Dfelon get your old icon back please, I really liked it...

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, that's what I meant.

EDIT: to Dfelon

[whiteminority]

The Mars Volta any good? I have not heard anything by them.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

They are great!

[whiteminority]

reccomendations?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Cygnus.......

[RetiredAt21]

They are too mellow for me.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Oh sorry Professor Choas........

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I'm just joking, I love you.....

[whiteminority]

I have a friend who keeps telling me to listen to them next time I do hallucinogenics. Are they that weird? I hope they are not to melodic because I like chaos.

[whiteminority]

Oh sorry Professor Choas........
Some of us prefer screams and chaos to melody.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

They aren't melodic. They're expiremental, or as I like to say Xperimental. They're really a super expiremental Post-Hardcore band

[whiteminority]

Did Dfelon ever take notice of my idea about the 10 screamo and 10 emo band lists that are compiled and then voted on?

[pixiesfanyo]

They aren't melodic. They're expiremental, or as I like to say Xperimental. They're really a super expiremental Post-Hardcore band

You are stupid.

TMV is melodic at times, Frances the Mute has alot more melody incomparsion to Deloused in The Comatorium. But they are both pretty standard in terms of bits just going crazy.

Also, if you are planning on tripping I wouldn't recommend TMV it would probably end up as a bad one. Maybe try something like Jaga Jazzist if you want something that is pretty similar to TMV but more on the brighter side.

Thanks man, I don't want any scary experiences, I remember when someone told me to trip to Aenemia by Tool... f'ucked up sh'it man.

[DFelon204409]

Yes but I disregarded it because I don't about anybody's opinion other than my own.

TMV is good for trippin by the way.

[whiteminority]

Yes but I disregarded it because I don't about anybody's opinion other than my own.

TMV is good for trippin by the way.
Well you added the top 25 metalcore albums poll to the reccomendations thread... So what's the difference on emo and screamo bands?

[DFelon204409]

We've already had a top emo/post-hardcore thread. I just haven't put them up yet because this legit list isn't done yet.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

At the end of the year we should have a Top Albums of the Year poll. We shall see who the victor is.......

[Wow]

Bob Tilton should get back together so they could win that contest.

[whiteminority]

We've already had a top emo/post-hardcore thread. I just haven't put them up yet because this legit list isn't done yet.
Oh cool. I still like my idea though.

[whiteminority]

Can anyone reccomend some Usurp Synapse ep's or something because my download program isn't finding anything by them.

[RetiredAt21]

The only Usurp Synapse song I know is Both Guns Blazing, and it's pretty good, I like it alot.

[whiteminority]

Well I put in their name in my download program and it says nothing found.

[RetiredAt21]

That's the only song I ever found on Limewire.

[whiteminority]

I have Limewire as well. But I can't find anything by them.
Also can't find anything by Heroin.

[RetiredAt21]

I've never even heard of Heroin.

[Electric Ocean]

Have you tried soulseek, it's normally the best for harder to find music.

[RetiredAt21]

I'm too lazy to get Soulseek.

[Electric Ocean]

It's really easy to get, the download is only about 1mb and it takes a minute to install and set up.

[Wow]

I have 31 Usurp Synapse songs. AIM/MSN me for them.

[RetiredAt21]

Hmm, maybe I will get it. I'll check it out.

[whiteminority]

[captainhaddock]

has anyone else heard In Tongues? they have 2 members (cory and adam, i think) from kodan armada and are ****ing amazing. The demo just blew me away. just thought i'd see if anyone else is digging them as much as me.

No, but do you have any links for songs?

[Berserker!]

At the end of the year we should have a Top Albums of the Year poll. We shall see who the victor is.......

We always do that anyway.

[captainhaddock]

http://www.hxcmp3.com/bands/18641/index.php

the demo is up for download there.
making of a tourniquet is an amazing song

[deadohiosky9]

In Tongues are awesome.

[Wow]

Damn right they are, Curry.

[cbmartinez]

The Mars Volta are not post-hardcore.

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, there is nothing core about the Mars Volta.

[Wow]

Damn right they aren't, Chris.

[RetiredAt21]

Who called them post-core in the first place?

[Wow]

They aren't melodic. They're expiremental, or as I like to say Xperimental. They're really a super expiremental Post-Hardcore band


This man right here.

[RetiredAt21]

Sunnyday, what do you have to say for yourself?

[cbmartinez]

He's been disillusioned by Underoath's myspace listing them as post-hardcore.

[asian al]

Please check out my band if you get the chance.

We recorded 3 new songs at watchmen studios.

For fans of dual guitars/hardcore/metal core/melodic hc

Feel free to add if you like.

thanks

[DFelon204409]

No core in The Mars Volta? How about the odd time tritone breakdown in the first 2-3 minutes of "Vismund...Cygnus VIsmund?"

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

What Dfelon said.....

[RetiredAt21]

Ok, that's one song, big deal. That still doesn't make them post hardcore.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

He's been disillusioned by Underoath's myspace listing them as post-hardcore.
Talking about Underoath, I saw them yesterday and even though I don't like the new songs, they earned some respect from me because the put on a hell of a show I must admitt

[RetiredAt21]

That's what everyone says. Their live show is supposedly amazing, I have to see it for myself though.

[FungusAmngus870]

Never have I seen a post more wrong then that.

I second that statement.

[RetiredAt21]

Which post was wrong?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I'm getting a haircut in about an hour or so.

[DFelon204409]

Ok, that's one song, big deal. That still doesn't make them post hardcore.

The drumming throughout "Roulette Dares {The Haunt of)" is a 50-50 mix between jazz and post-hardcore. It sounds like Trophy Scars a lot on that. You realize that every time you say there's no hardcore I'll find another example because I'll be looking for it and it exists.

[RetiredAt21]

Post hardcore drumming? That still doesn't make them post hardcore. They aren't a post hardcore band.

[DFelon204409]

I never called them a post-hardcore band. That was that retarded n00b. I am merely responding to your comment that there is no "core" in their music. Or maybe that was Wow. Same thing. There is core in their music. A small amount but significant in modeling their sound. It gives them that edge and intensity that most "psychedelic" bands are too stoned out to have.

[RetiredAt21]

It doesn't sound very core to me. They are a pretty mellow band most of the time.

[RCVA]

Mars Volta are prog-rock...right?

[RetiredAt21]

I think they are indie, but someone will probably tell me I'm wrong.

[Wow]

Nah, I never said there was no core. I've only listened to them once, I wouldn't know.

[DFelon204409]

Mars Volta are prog-rock...right?

Truf.

Retired. Post-hardcore is a genre defined by the contrasting soft and hard parts. So TMV's contrasting soft and hard parts line in with that. Do you even listen to them?

[captainhaddock]

i wouldn't call them a post-hardcore band
something along the lines of experimental ambient indie...

[cbmartinez]

They're indie. They don't have enoug of the screaming or other factors to connect them to hardcore. "Tritone breakdown," big deal.

[DFelon204409]

They are not post-hardcore. They are fractionally so. That's all anybody is saying here. Let's cut out this wankery. Has anybody else been following Wimbledon? Anybody else seen The Fall of Troy live and heard new songs?

[Wow]

Am I the only here who knows Rockets And Blue Lights? :(

[cbmartinez]

Me. :)

[Wow]

Yeah. You too. But that's 'cause I sent them to you.


Anyone else? :(

[cbmartinez]

The best part of that song is that dark bass chord riff. I love that so much.

[Wow]

In "We Are Giants?" I'll listen for it, I don't remember it.


Have I sent you "What They Made You Mean?" That song is ****ing incredible.


Edit: Oh yeah, the first thing you hear. Shut up.

[Electric Ocean]

I downloaded "We Are Giants" a few days ago when cb uploaded it to the YSI thread in Pop-Punk. I wasn't too fond of it at first but I gave it a few more listens and it's actually pretty good. It's kinda poppier than most emo stuff but I like that alot. Anyone have any more info on this band/know where I can get some more tracks?

[Wow]

IM me on aim at FuzzyLlamaOfDoom. I have both of their EPs.

[Electric Ocean]

IM me on aim at FuzzyLlamaOfDoom. I have both of their EPs.

Can you go on MSN? I'm on right now. I'm stephen_thomas50@msn.com incase you didn't know that was me or something.

Sure man.

I might see The Fall of Troy. They're playing with this really cool band Maida.

[RetiredAt21]

Didn't Venus Williams pwn Wimbledon?

[DFelon204409]

Ya she did. And Federer pwned Roddick. That's what he gets for trying to be a pretty boy and dating that ho from those really bad movies.

[AndreTheHyena]

I saw mewithoutyou the other night and it was a grrrreat show. The crowd was amazingly bad, though, but it's to be expected, I guess. Make Believe opened and were likewise amazing.

[Foreverlastsamoment]

check out new band from jersey.

www.myspace.com/sakitasarra

[Wow]

They've been posted here before. Pretty good stuff :)

[snorfledumpkin]

check out new band from jersey.

www.myspace.com/sakitasarra
What's the point of a singer if all you hear is "RAAAAHOROOROHOOOOOOOAUAUAUUUUUUAAIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!" Just get a rabid panther in there, it could probably sound better, and they'd have a cool mascot. :thumb:

[cbmartinez]

Sakita Sarra rules. Original version of "Like A Relictant" was better though.

[Foreverlastsamoment]

haha, yeah but they are freshman in highschool, i mean you still cant understand what they are saying when they are talkingg. but its still some good ****t.

[Foreverlastsamoment]

they dont play too many shows though. But when they do its sick, deffinately should get them some shows.

[cbmartinez]

Yeah, get them to play in Trenton.

[DFelon204409]

You know what's weird to think about? Human don't develop their analytical or creative thinking abilities properly until they're about 18-20. So what they're doing is most likely imitation. Imagine if you harnessed their dedication and all that when they have all their pubies in or something. That'd be cool to hear. Maybe they'd be playing completely different music.

[DFelon204409]

It got totally screwed up when I reduced it to only four colors. The original was sick with purple blood and stuff. I think I'm going to load it onto deviantart or something.

There are many new un-signed emo bands that are really good and need people to help spread the word about them. Check out some of these bands and post some...by the way...put a link to sample some of their music.

Adenbrooke - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=19031332&Mytoken=20050705215037
Second and Devine - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=6478022&Mytoken=20050705215032

[Wow]

Neither of those bands are emo.

hahaha, very funny kid, now get out of here!
Besides, those kids of Second and Devine look very stupid with them all having the same hair-do, and the singing is terrible..

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Hahaha ^ speaking the truuf^

[RetiredAt21]

Saturday Supercade is my new friend.

[cbmartinez]

"A Tale For The Ages" is quite possibly the best emo song ever.

[Electric Ocean]

^^^

It's damn good but I don't think I'd go quite that far.

[cbmartinez]

The instruments are so beautiful. Sure, it's not epic length and it doesn't super emotional vocals, but I think it's amazing.

[Electric Ocean]

Also, where did you find Thursday covering that Sigur Ros song that you uploaded to the YSI thread in Alt/Indie? It was really cool, if a little strange.

[cbmartinez]

It's the bonus track on the Japanese version of War All The Time.

[Wow]

"A Tale For The Ages" is quite possibly the best emo song ever.


That title belongs to Woolworm (Angry Son) by Indian Summer.

[cbmartinez]

This is true. ATFTA is up there though.

[Electric Ocean]

That title belongs to Woolworm (Angry Son) by Indian Summer.

That song crossed my mind when I saw cb post about A Tale For The Ages, it's a really amazing song but I haven't heard anything else by them that comes anywhere close to matching it.

Oh yeah, thanks for that Rockets and Blue Lights stuff too, I've got my iPod working so I gave it a few listens earlier on today and it's some really cool stuff. Are they still around or have they split?

[Wow]

Yeah, Indian Summer never touched Woolworm's greatness in Science 1994, but all of the songs on it are ace, anyway. They have an unrecorded song that they played in a live video I have which is almost as good as Woolworm.


Rockets And Blue Lights split just last year I think. It's a shame.

[Electric Ocean]

Why do all these crazy emo bands always have to split so soon? :upset:

[sink sink]

hahaha, very funny kid, now get out of here!
Besides, those kids of Second and Devine look very stupid with them all having the same hair-do, and the singing is terrible..
I think it's funny that the hype/promotion for those bands totally surpasses the quality of the music.

I thought you said that "Fool" (Still life) was the best song... :p
But Angry Son is defenitely one of the best emo-songs ever, although Scarification (Julia), Small (Still life) and Cuts like drugs (Hoover) also are competing for that title if you'd ask me.

[Wow]

I say everything is the best song ever. However, I am serious when it comes to Woolworm. The amount of emotion in the song just blows me away every time I hear it.

[RetiredAt21]

I'll YSI it when I get home from school if cbmartinez doesn't send it first.

I think Aren't You Angel, or Sugar Pill get a little close to Woolworm.

[Saturday Supercade]

Yeah, "Aren't You Angel" certainly comes a little close to Woolworm...

And thnx Electric, I didn't had that song of Thursday yet..

[Wow]

Sugar Pill comes the closest in my opinion.

I doubt Hot Cross would be going to the UK anytime soon. They won't even ship merch to the UK for the time being.

I mailed billy a while ago and he promised this year. Wont be the same without josh though.

In other news I made a nice Hot Cross shirt. I'll get pictures when my computer works again. I'm in the library at the moment.

[Electric Ocean]

I mailed billy a while ago and he promised this year. Wont be the same without josh though.

They'd better not be only playing London like most bands do, I'll probably be able to drive soon but it'll be about a 5 hour drive, it'd probably be worth it though.

That wasn't directed at just you anyway, I was just...you know...generalizing.

[DFelon204409]

England sucks the UK's balls.

Who likes Bear and the Butterfly?

My friend's friend is the guitarist.

So there.

www.myspace.com/bearandthebutterfly or maybe www.myspace.com/thebearandthebutterfly

[Saturday Supercade]

Just out of interest, why do all you crazy americans all call the UK "England" anyway? There are other countries here ya know.

Edit: 666 post omg :evil:

Not only americans call the UK 'England'. Here in the Netherlands (and I think the rest of Europe) we also call it England and almost never UK or Great Britain. But maybe we are crazy to...

[Electric Ocean]

You make us Welsh people feel left out :upset:.

Anyway, that band you posted were pretty good DFelon, and it was the first link that was the right one.

[Saturday Supercade]

I've been on holiday once in Wales, near Abergavenny or something like that... nice country...

[Electric Ocean]

That's about 20 miles from where I live and Wales pretty much sucks in general it has way too many council estates and crappy weather.

[JACK!]

Haha troof, the weather is good the moment though.

[Electric Ocean]

Yeah I know, it's fecking boiling. I've eaten all my Sun Lollies though.

[JACK!]

I have a box of Cider Lollies in the fridge :cool: Wow, I really am a tr00 Welshman.

[Electric Ocean]

:eek: You want to make sure those crazy edge kids don't catch you with those.

[Saturday Supercade]

Well, the weather here isn't much better I suppose (although it's also really nice right now)

[-1up!-]

(/is late) I'd have to agree about A Tale For The Ages being one of the greatest emo songs.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

Hey, who here likes Refused? I just got Songs to fan the Flames of discontent yesterday :D

[Electric Ocean]

They're an awesome band, although I prefer The Shape Of Punk To Come personally. Not sure why you posted that here though :confused:.

[RCVA]

Hey, who here likes Refused? I just got Songs to fan the Flames of discontent yesterday :D
Random post but yeh i love refused. I've got Songs to fan the Flames of discontent, the shape of punk to come and the everlasting ep. :)

I might get one of their t-shirts.

[Berserker!]

You're really funny.

[RCVA]

I still hate you.




lolz.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

I think that Refused to too hardcorey to be punk, so i posted that here.

[Electric Ocean]

Yeah but this is the Emo/Screamo community thread, it probably would have been better off in Hardcore/Metalcore, anyway no one dislikes Refused so it doesn't matter that you posted it here.

[Wow]

Community thread meaning talk about anything. :p


"Winter Solstice" = Best Kite Flying Society song ever.

[Nataroo]

refused are pretty much untouchable.

[full collapse]

Agreed. I love Refused. If you haven't check out Showbread before, check them out, they have Refused written all over them.

[deadohiosky9]

Definetly.

Is there anywhere I could get some Kite Flying Society? I've been looking but hadn't found anything...

[Bartender]

I read somewhere that Kodan Armada's Collections 1 comes with "special hand-sewn lyric sheets". Could someone enlighten me as to what exactly a hand-sewn lyric sheet would be?

[Shikyo]

They probably hand wrote the lyrics themselves. That's the only thing that I could think of... either that or they sown something together and the lyrics are on that. My guess would be the first.

[DFelon204409]

refused are pretty much untouchable.

The only reason they're untouchable is because of this kind of empty hype around the "scene" and the fact that "New Noise" was an MTV2 anthem. Refused is good but no where near the best. The Shape of Punk to Come is an original and unique album but one of the reasons it's considered monumental is people fell for the bombastic liner notes. It made the album grander than it really was. Solid album, but not as revolutionary as some people say. Jazz and electronics have been mixed into heavy music long before Refused (Cynic) so I don't see how their doing that makes them so original.

[PlasticGangster]

i never got into refused. :upset: maybe i need to listen again.

[Wow]

IM me in aim/msn. I have everything they recorded.

Yeh, this is about the first time in a year im glad in Cornhole.

Someone could totally write an essay on just how much effect (if any) refused had on punk/hardcore.

[mshort813]

You and I<3. I just got their discography in Boston. Good times. I also got Still Life - The Incredible Sinking Feeling.

discuss?

[Wow]

You And I are amazing. 140 jcm or whatever = an INCREDIBLE song.


I just picked up a Toru Okada LP. Everyone should order one off of Shock Value's website.

[DFelon204409]

I'm probably going to write my honors thesis on something like that. Influences on punk/hardcore. I'm going to use hardcore as a platform to understand technicality versus emotion. Refused is an example of emotion through innovation.

[quick_death]

hey, would anyone recomened buying the orchid chaos is me/dance tonight cd to someone who hasn't heard orchid before...can't find mp3s anwhere

[syurix]

I'm probably going to write my honors thesis on something like that. Influences on punk/hardcore. I'm going to use hardcore as a platform to understand technicality versus emotion. Refused is an example of emotion through innovation.

I did my 12th grade honors essay on the history of emotional hardcore. I had an upper limit of ten pages though, and there were several waves of bands I had to leave out. San Diego artcore got ignored, as well chicago post-emo, and the late 90's northeast screamo boom. I kinda want to go back to it now, cause it was more than 2 years back, and the actual writing took place in one night.

[RetiredAt21]

I wrote a paper on how to write a generic metalcore song for an English class. I got a B on it.

[whiteminority]

In a music theory class we had to write our own song I chose to do a metalcore song but instead of actually trying I used the formula most metalcore bands use (verse chorus verse2 chorus breakdown chorus until end) and had my friends band play it (extra credit if we recorded it) and got a 104 on the project. My teacher said it showed real musical depth and insightful lyrics into a creative genre of music. The lyrics were all like "oooh im depressed and want to kill myself" etc.

[Nataroo]

I want someone to write an essay on "Progession, musicianship,technicality and innovation in hardcore."

Call it "With Honor and why they own everyone else so hard right now."

What I dont want to read is another essay on the 'Roots' of anything.ever. So no mention of Minor Threat or The Clash.

[syurix]

But how will cats who only read rolling stone know that it's punk?

Does anyone know how to scream like the guy from rise against? Thanks Alot

Try to scream and fail on purpose, that should get you close to their sound.

edit: If you were born a failure, you'll have a head start on the technique. :thumb:

Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared

[SGlove]

I'm liking the influx of the new people on the board again.
The good ole days of when UnderOATH going screamo was big news.
Love it.

What bands were in the San Diego "artcore" movement and what bands were in the Chicago "post-emo" movement?
I'm intrigued by this.

[DFelon204409]

Post-emo is stupid. I'm going to make the list when I'm done with Harry Potter.

[Berserker!]

Artcore Bands

Heroin
Antioch Arrow
Swing Kids
Angel Hair (originally from Colorado)
Clikatat Ikatowi (maybe misspelled)
The Locust (arguably more of a grind band)


Chicago Post-Emo

Friction-(Bob Nanna's first band that I'm aware of)
Cap'n Jazz- (probably the best bridge I can think of between tight, poppy indie-emo and a lot of the aforementioned artcore bands)
Braid-(Pretty widely considered as the commercial, if not artistic apex of Chicago Post-Emo, Hey Mercedes doesn't really count in terms of being post-emo given the extent to which they lost a lot of the math rock influence that made braid so intriguing.)
Promise Ring (I consider them a poppier extension of the sound, even though they were based in Wisconsin, particularly given that Davey was in Cap'n Jazz and has a similiar lyrical approach to both Tim and Bob, especially in terms of extending word games and puns into whole lines or concepts to build a song around.)
Sky Corvair- Bob NAnna and Tim Kinsella both sang in this one.
Sweep the Leg Johnny (arguably a Jazz fusion project, but very similiar in aesthetic and approach to a lot of the others)
American Football- maybe a reach, it certainly is more guitar based than a lot of other later Kinsella projects
Make Believe- One of my favorite current bands.

F'uck I stil have to finish Farenheit 451 and then read Tom Sawyer. I'm only on page 20 of Farenheit 451.......................
Clarisse gets killed by the government, Montag decides to plant books in firemens houses with the help of Faber, Beatty comes to get Montag because his wife and his wifes friends report that he has books, Montag torches Beatty with a flame thrower, Montag starts running from the mechanical hound, he gets to the river and the hound loses the scent, so the TV people show the hound killing an innocent guy so they don't look bad. Then Montag meets a bunch of professors and scholar hobos who memorize books and then destroy them, so they can rewrite them in a new world. The world builds itself up and destroys it self. That's essentially it. Good book.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Thank You

[oopyman]

Do you have to do anything other than read it?

[sink sink]

I'm re-reading Fahrenheit 451, good book. I have to write a big essay on any subject and I'll probably write about dystopian novels (1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, A Clockwork Orange.)

Now let's try to relate this to emo/screamo in some way. Circle Takes The Square have some brainy references in their music, so I think they would get torched in Fahrenheit 451.

[oopyman]

I'm reading The Divine Comedy.

[sink sink]

i'm going to get around to reading that someday
