It's interesting. So many different versions though. They are provide different interpretaions too. Some keep the poetic aspect completely intact, others make it more accessible to the average person. Make sure you find a good one.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Do you have to do anything other than read it?

Ouch. http://www.sparksnotes.com

[Electric Ocean]

Anyone know where I can find some Wow, Owls! Mp3's? I looked on Soulseek but I couldn't find anything.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Fahrenheit 451 rules, one of my favorite books. I have to read The Great Batsby and A Farewell To Arms.

[oopyman]

What's with everyone having to read **** over summer?

[40 oz 2 freedom]

AP summer reading.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Ya I got into like the best school in the district with a 2.9 GPA and I'm taking A.P. English even though I got B's and C's in it all through out Middle School. I wanted to transfer out of the school but my mom talked to the counselor and she told my mom that I'm lucky I got in and kids with a 3.5 GPA got rejected, and I don't live in the school area.

[cbmartinez]

We Were The Mullvaneys, The Color Purple and some other book for me.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Dumbledore dies.

Seriously, **** you.

[oopyman]

Seriously, **** you.
:lol:

[Electric Ocean]

It surprising how pissed hardcore kids can get about finding out the ending to the new Harry Potter.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Hardcore kid or not, it sucks having the story basically ruined.

[cbmartinez]

Yeah really, I remember when someone ruined the ending to Return Of The King for me. And I checked with my brother, the Harry Potter thing is true. :(

We should get Reiner to ban the faggot again.

[Electric Ocean]

Yeah, I didn't really want to know what either but I'm not particularly bothered. At least now I'll keep reading it even if it ends up getting a bit slow in the middle.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Yeah really, I remember when someone ruined the ending to Return Of The King for me. And I checked with my brother, the Harry Potter thing is true. :(

**** YOU CHRIS!!

You didn't have to tell us that it was true! You could of kept it to yourself.

[cbmartinez]

Meh, it's not like we know how he dies or who kills him so it will still be a great read.

[cbmartinez]

Haha, I did the same thing too.

Me: Does Dumbledore die?
Brother: Yeah.
Me: What? Don't tell me that!
Brother: You wanted to know!
Me: You should have lied.

[DFelon204409]

Okay the second somebody mentioned the new Harry Potter ending I jumped to the end of this page to post without reading the posts before me. I refuse to have this ruined for me. I've been trying to savor this book more since last time I read Order of the Pheonix in one day and now I can hardly remember it. Ya, so shut up. The best books are...
The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis
Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind

troof

I need to read Pale Fire by Nabakov. I've been putting that off for a year now but I'm really intrigued.

[sink sink]

We have to read Anna Karenina over summer. It's pretty long. :(

[Nataroo]

It surprising how pissed hardcore kids can get about finding out the ending to the new Harry Potter.

I love that fact that even if you skipped over the first post its been quoted about 4 times.

[RetiredAt21]

My friend just got the new Harry Potter book. He won't even talk to me, he's too busy with the book.

[natefitforbattle]

i forgot my password and my old email was deleted.

[RCVA]

My friend just got the new Harry Potter book. He won't even talk to me, he's too busy with the book.

Tell him that Dumbledore dies.

[whiteminority]

My friend just got the new Harry Potter book. He won't even talk to me, he's too busy with the book.
I'm such a nerd I spent all of yesterday reading it and now I'm depressed that I read my $23 book and have to wait like forever for the next one.

[mshort813]

Anyone know where I can find some Wow, Owls! Mp3's? I looked on Soulseek but I couldn't find anything.
I posted them awhile back and everyone was just like, "what's up with ghey band names." and no one listened to them. So here you are:

hxxp://anonym.to/?http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2R136BYKMQA0M2CMNCNKJ5FF8P

[Electric Ocean]

Thanks for that, I've been meaning to check them out for a while. I don't really care too much about band names anyway, probably why I listen to Iwouldsetmyselfonfireforyou...

[natefitforbattle]

wow, owls! are awesome. i've been listening to them a lot lately.

[Electric Ocean]

Aaahhh, the link won't work for me, it only downloads to 8%. :upset:

[natefitforbattle]

i have pick your patterns(album). instant message me, oh no a robot.

[Electric Ocean]

Ok, will do. Thanks.

[mshort813]

Aaahhh, the link won't work for me, it only downloads to 8%. :upset:
ehh sorry. It was 'Pick Your Patterns.' So get it from Nate or from me if I'm on.

[Electric Ocean]

I'm getting it now, thanks anyway though. By the way, what's different about the yousendit links with the anonym.to/ bits at the start? I've seen a few of them now.

[mshort813]

I'm getting it now, thanks anyway though. By the way, what's different about the yousendit links with the anonym.to/ bits at the start? I've seen a few of them now.
It makes the link valid for a longer period of time and allows more downloads before it expires. It doesn't affect the download time or anything like that...so use it.

[mshort813]

Mikoto signed to Level Plane. Discuss.

[DFelon204409]

Mikoto was fun live. Not bad on album. I really liked the new Harry Potter though.

[xcbmetalcorex]

Did you ban me D?

[natefitforbattle]

yeah man, mikoto are some of the nicest guys ever.

[DFelon204409]

HORSE the band was better.

Yes, cb I did. Nobody ruins book/movie endings. That's not okay. It's possibly the biggest dick move ever.

[xcbmetalcorex]

Nah man, I never ruined anything. I'm one of the victims, I haven't read it.

[DFelon204409]

I don't care. You repeated it and ruined it for 40oz and almost ruined it for me. I caught myself at the last second and couldn't come back to mx for two days. That's jerk. You're banned, no more complaints.

[xcbmetalcorex]

Wanna know who the half blood prince is?!

[DFelon204409]

Go fist yourself. Wanna permaban on every new account you make that I can catch you on?

[Wow]

Dude, he didn't mean to spoil the ending for you, he got it spoiled for himself too and he was pissed about that. I know Chris very well and I'm almost positive he didn't intentionally ruin it for you. Let it go.

[DFelon204409]

Wow, if he really hated having it ruined for him, he wouldn't have been so irreponsible as to post the huge surprise of the book on an Emo/Screamo Community page. Understand? Every shut up and talk about emotion or something.

[xcbmetalcorex]

Dude, you forgot to ban Reiner. He made a thread on it.

[xcbmetalcorex]

Look I don't want to be a bitch and I don't want it to seem like my account is so important, but this is ridiculous. As I said, I'm one of the victims here. And if I got banned for repeating it in a clearly non malevolent way, the people who found fun in repeating it to ruin the fun for the readers should be banned twice as long. This includes:

BERSERKER!
RCVA
Brain Squirmin' Like A Toad
REINER
obese_breasts
Nataroo
Conner_NWHC

So, go ahead and do that and I'll shut my mouth. And have fun banning those two mods.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Seriously, did you see the thread that they made to me?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Yes I'm not on there.................

[quick_death]

i only stared reading hp and read one random post about the end...i just pretend its not true...still its not fair just ruining it for others

[DFelon204409]

Dude, you forgot to ban Reiner. He made a thread on it.

I wonder if a mod can band a mod. That'd be like if you went back in time and killed your parents before you were born. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?!

[DFelon204409]

You are not authorized to ban users who are not considered normal, registered users

Crap.

[mshort813]

Crap.
hahahahaha....it said "normal." Vbulletin cracks me up.

that would be quite funny if you banned him.

[mshort813]

Good thing Silverstein has a new song up on myspace, rite? haha, they have a breakdown.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Silverstein? Ewwwwwwwwwwww

[Ronin GHST]

Silverstein? Ewwwwwwwwwwww

yeah they're bad

[RetiredAt21]

I hate Silverstein with a passion. I have a couple of friends that like them, but my friends are idiots.

[DFelon204409]

I could ban all of you for talking about Silverstein. It's against the rules.

[oopyman]

Snape kills Dumbledore and Silverstein suck.

[DFelon204409]

Hahahaha you look like you're twelve in your avatar. hahahaha your are twelve.

[pOOPY]

That's Tyler, though I look equally young I suppose.

[NewKindofArmy03]

We don't have image tags for nothing! IMG it up.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Haha i dont know if I can. It's not a normal link.

[DFelon204409]

If you do I ban. I'm not joking. Don't talk about this ever again. It's rude and just plain jackass.

[m0nKaY]

Ok well since this is a community thread and since we're talking about books, I was wondering if anyone has ever read Zen and The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance?

[Wow]

It was barely funny at first and now it's just plain stupid. You already ruined the suprise for everyone, there's no point in doing it anymore.


It has recently come to my attention that "Cuts Like Drugs" is the best song ever. Discuss.


Edit: The first part was to the "I Ruin Harry Potter" douche bags. :thumb:

Thanks for the absolutely necessary clairification.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

**** all of you. The spoiling thing was kind of funny when Reiner did it. Now you are just dragging it on. It's dead.

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, I'd say Reiner did it the best. I actually lawled when I read it.

[whiteminority]

Since everyone was so intent on spoiling Harry Potter did anyone actually read it and enjoy it?

[Electric Ocean]

I haven't yet but I'm going to once my mother finishes with it. It doesn't really bother me that I know the ending, it's not really that important.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

I'm reading it now.

[whiteminority]

Besides you knowing the ending now it is a really good book; my favorite in the series.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

My favorite is the Goblet of Fire, but I'm not far enough into this one to know yet.

[Berserker!]

I read children's books

...

[40 oz 2 freedom]

You're 13 years old...

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

My favorite book is Johnny Got His Gun.............I recommend it to all of you people, you'll enjoy it trust me.

[Berserker!]

You're 13 years old...

You read books for people half your age.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

What point are you trying to make? Way more people 3 or 4 times my age read these books than 8 year olds.

[Berserker!]

You just got a bit angry for someone spoiling a really badly written book for you.

meh

[40 oz 2 freedom]

What makes you think the books are badly written? Because Reiner tells you they are? How many have you read? I just don't know if you're trying to makie me embarrased to read them or what.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Also, what grade are you in?

[CONNER_NWHC]

Lawlz

[Berserker!]

What makes you think the books are badly written? Because Reiner tells you they are? How many have you read? I just don't know if you're trying to makie me embarrased to read them or what.

I read the first three. I'm in 8th grade in September. :)

[40 oz 2 freedom]

So you haven't read this book, but you know it's really badly written?

[Berserker!]

If the first three are anything to go by.

[CONNER_NWHC]

Cleary people like that book the british slut is so rich off it now.

[RetiredAt21]

Hahaha.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I can't beleive no one else has read Johnny Got his Gun.........:(

[RetiredAt21]

That sounds like a really stupid book. Bang bang!

[pOOPY]

Slaughterhouse 5 > Johnny Got His Gun. I've never read it, but I know this because Slaughterhouse 5 > everything.

[Berserker!]

Niko knows his books.

[RetiredAt21]

Speaking of Slaughterhouse, does anyone remember the game Splatterhouse? That was such a great game.

[DFelon204409]

This thread is stupid. 13 year olds don't talk about anything but music.

[whiteminority]

If anyone is looking for a really good book read The Cathcher in the Rye it is my favorite book I have ever read.

[pOOPY]

If anyone is looking for a really good book read The Cathcher in the Rye it is my favorite book I have ever read.
Yeah, that's a great book.

[whiteminority]

My favorite part is when he stays at the hotel and watches all the perves doing their kink.

[littledrummerboy]

I've never read it, never caught my attention.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

That sounds like a really stupid book. Bang bang!
Its kind of a war book. This guy goes to WW1 and gets blasted by a grenade and he gets his arms and legs cut off. He also doesn't have a nose, mounth, chin, or eyes. He is also deaf. While he's just a stump of meat he starts thinking about life. Its a good book and makes you think deep, especially about war. Check it out :thumb:

[DFelon204409]

Riddle me this then. How was he able to write a book?

Pwned.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Its a fictional book. Its written by Dalton Trumbo..........

[DFelon204409]

I get it. I was making fun of the ridicular plot. Read The English Patient. It's better.

once an eagle is my favorite war book.

and is anybody else college age on here?

[Electric Ocean]

Since everyones already discussing books anyone wanna reccomend me some books to get, I'll need some for the summer since I can never sleep, so I'm going to stock up sometime soon. I know I'm getting all the Chuck Palahniuk ones that I haven't got but I'm not sure what else to get. I might get some stuff by Kurt Vonnegut too because I read Timequake and I enjoyed it alot, but I'm not sure what else to get by him because he has so much stuff out.

[Berserker!]

Vonnegut: Get Bluebeard, Breakfast of Champions and Slaughterhouse 5.

Also read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest.

[quick_death]

trainspotting, vurt, automated alice and wasp factory are all really good books

[DFelon204409]

once an eagle is my favorite war book.

and is anybody else college age on here?

I think I'm the only other one. Oh ya and CONNOR too!

You know, your brain doesn't start developing proper analytical thinking until age 13. On that note, it's hard to take people seriously when they're claiming a book rules and have the reasoning power of my left nut.

[SGlove]

I am.
I'm gonna be in my 5th semster this fall.
Where does time go?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Do you guys go to big colleges?

[srt-4]

i don't. having to pay my own way and having a 100% scholarship to any state school in florida led me to stay in florida. the only two cities that are more than college towns and therefore have jobs to offer are st. petersburg / tampa area and orlando, and since i already lived in st. petersburg, i just stayed here and went to University of South Florida. which is not a very good school, but i'll just go to a good law school to make up for it. haha.

[BuddyBigsby]

Community college represent!

Chuck is good. I'm reading Lullaby right now. Good stuff.

[DFelon204409]

It's all about Williams. Their scholarship program is need based, so if you get in, you're in, they don't care how much you're going to cost.

[sink sink]

Which Orchid album should I get? I'm picking between "Gatefold" or the "Chaos Is Me/Dance Tonight!" combined thingy.

[natefitforbattle]

definitely chaos is me/dance tonight! revolution tomorrow!

[BuddyBigsby]

Chaos is me/DTRT without a doubt.

[Wow]

Gatefold fails in comparison to CIS/DTRT.

[sink sink]

This is what I've reading, I'll be getting CIS/DTRT.

[DFelon204409]

I had a few songs off Gatefold I liked. Man, I'm forgetting which was which in my Orchid stash on my broken iPod. Maybe I should finally suck it up and fix it.

[Chiller_Than_Most]

Gatefold is my favorite Orchid album, but I'm alone in that one.

It has been a busy summer for us even though everything we are doing is kinda behind the scenes. The songwriting process is going really well and we are all exicted with the new matieral.. Currently we have about 5 complete new songs. We would ideally like to have 16 before we go into record sometime this winter.. Most likely early December.

The tentative plan is to record with Kurt Ballou at God City in Massachusetts. He has worked with our friends in Transistor Transistor and Gospel and both of those records sound so amazing, that we think he is the ideal person for us to work with. When we have actually booked the time with him, and everyhting is confirmed you guys will be the first to know.

Check out our merch at http://www.shirtkiller.com There will be new designs going up regularly and you will be able to find t shirts, hoodies, girly shirts, even tote bags. Whatever you want our dopey logo on, you can get. Help us out with our debts!!! :).

We have some shows coming up next weekend with our buddies in Gospel. We are excited to get back out and play out a little. It has been a while. You may or may not hear new songs! It depends on how practice goes this week and how clumsy we are. Here are the shows!

Friday, July 29
Altoona, PA
Homer's Gap Civic Center

[Wow]

Black Eyes = best band ever.
Discuss.

[DFelon204409]

I just finished my second year at University of Southern California.

I was being sarcastic because Connor is 12 or something. I have some friends who go to USC. The four of them are this band called Jubala. They have some good elements and some sucky ones. The lead guitarist is a sick guitarist and I played with him in the jazz band in high school. The drummer is good too and listens to lots of cheesy prog. The other instrumentalists are good but don't stand out. I think what cripples them is that they don't listen to very interesting music. They are nice, normal kids, not weirdos who frequent online emo forums, so they like Sublime, RHCP, Incubus, etc. I managed to get them to listen to a bit of Thrice and even Dillinger Escape Plan at one point but they're into their own modern rock that's sort of interesting thing. Their one song "Aphrodisiac" is one of my favorite all time songs. It just does a good job of mood and the end solo is really amazing. www.purevolume.com/jubala or maybe www.purevolume.com/jubalamusic Maybe catch a show. They're fun but I guess I'm biased because I know all of them.

[srt-4]

for years i have been listening to my music on $20 computer speakers and an old bookshelf cd player that i don't even have the remote for, so i decided to upgrade my audio setup. just finished ordering the stuff off the internet. i can't wait.

i'll now have a turtlebeach montego soundcard. that will encode all pc audio (most importantly music) to a dolby digital signal on the fly. that will then be transmitted to an onkyo 503 surround reciever via a digital optical connection. the onkyo reciever will feed athena point 5 mkII surround speakers(4 satellite speakers and a center), which won the "sound and vision reviewers choice awards", whatever the hell that is. i'm just assuming that means they're really good. in addition to the athenas, i ordered a dayton 12" 150 watt sub to complete the 5.1 system. to replace the cd player, i ordered a panasonic 5 disc dvd/cd changer with a bunch of cool features like improving the audio quality of mp3s. that'll connect to the onkyo through a coaxial digital connection so i can switch over from computer audio to cd audio with a remote.

but maybe the coolest thing i ordered is the dolby digital 6 speaker surround headphones that i can connect to either the soundcard or reciever via digital optical connection for dolby digital surround when its late and i dont' want to wake anybody up.

i'm just really excited and wanted to share, lol.

[-1up!-]

Just put a CTTS CD in there and freak out.

Seriously, I'd like a kickass audio system too :upset:

[Wow]

Grats man.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Ya sound systems are great. Yesterday my friend and I were playing songs thru our PA and singing along with it. It was quite fun.

[RCVA]

Quite good. The guitars aren't better than Hot Cross' IMO.

[natefitforbattle]

i like the guitars a lot! right when i heard the intro i knew this song was going to be awesome.

[RCVA]

Hot Cross' guitars are really special. It takes a lot to beat them.

[Berserker!]

Not anymore since Josh left

[RCVA]

Yeah...

[quick_death]

that song could be a hot cross song its so similar.still LLE are a great band

[whiteminority]

Hot Cross' guitars are really special. It takes a lot to beat them.
That's true. Hot Cross also in general are awesome.

The first time I have Consonants by Hot Cross, my jaw dropped. The guitar playing in that song is awesome.

The first time i heard Hot Cross on purevolume I was an instant fan.

[whiteminority]

Yeah their awesomeness has had that effect on people.

[DFelon204409]

Nervous Light of Sunday is pretty good. They remind me of a faster version of Life in Your Way. Downloaded that. Sweet. Gonna myspace em.

At least I admitted I was sucking them off.

Does anyone know if Cap'n Jazz would be considered emo or indie? I'm confused over it since I think they display qualities of both genres.

[Wow]

They're the mid-west really indie influenced emo style from the mid 90's.

[whiteminority]

Thanks, me and a good friend couldn't tell. :thumb:

any other bands like them I should check out?

[Wow]

Rockets and Blue Lights, Nuzzle, Bells on Trike, Boy's Life.

Pg99 "Your Face Is A Rape Scene"
YES. YES. GODDAMMIT YES. i was just listening to this today. i love the intro. having two bassists really DOES come in handy.

[BillyxRansom]

the clean vocals remind me of you and i. i'm really digging this band.
you and i had clean vocals?

[natefitforbattle]

yeah, you know backround vocals? that song really reminded me of "forever lasts a moment"

This is good i dig it

[natefitforbattle]

i have dreams and me and him call it us are awesome man. listen to both links.

[Wow]

you and i had clean vocals?


143 jcm.

[DFelon204409]

Indeed. Their version of clean is Britney Spear's version of labor pain screaming. Still rough but clean compared to other emo.

[cbmartinez]

I pimped Me And Him Call It Us in this thread at least 4 or 5 months ago.

[natefitforbattle]

dang.

I just keep on writing reviews: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=2999&genreid=54

Bear vs. Shark.

[syurix]

I'm on the fence about I Have Dreams, I like the epic, spine-tingling parts, but then it goes all chug-chug-squeal like some mediocre emo metal band. I'm tracking down their stuff on slsk right now though, so I'm gonna check them out further.

OH, thanks to whoever brought up nervous light of sunday, I dug them immensely.

Good review. The last time i did a review my computer crashed when i was almost finished.

"I have a raging erection for every other instrumental element of the band(...)"

You rock, DFelon. Hot Cross rocks harder though, no offense. :)

[SGlove]

OH, thanks to whoever brought up nervous light of sunday, I dug them immensely.

Hey, no problem.
My friend introduced me to them.
I thought they were going to be a giant rip-off of CTTS, but they aren't.
Their Japanese instead.

[syurix]

^^^
Speaking of Japanese 'core' bands, I need to listen to more Envy, they floor me every time.

[StandingStill]

Yes you do. Buy 'A Dead Sinking Story' immediately.

[quick_death]

Call to all user of this thread.

I had this idea to write an introduction to emo, with all you guys' help, in the form of a text. Kids who talk about the Used, Dashboard Confessional etc labelling them as "emo" piss me off and I can't bear it no more. And I can't point them to fourfa.com, it's too long of a read.

Basically, give a detailed definition of emo, including historical points, founding bands, etc... Everyone could give a few characteristics of the genre or a point to specify and we could sum it all in one text I'd carry in my pocket to educate ignorants. Of course we could post it right here and make it a reference for the emo genre, something solid enough to educate people and point them in the right directions but not dictionary-length.

I usually start arguments about emo by pointing out that emo means "emotional hardcore", the hardcore point being very important, because all bands falsely labelled as "emo" are usually very mainstream and contain no elements of hardcore.

Then, I specify that the bands labelled as "emo" in the mainstream are classified as such because they associate with the emo "slice-your-wrists" culture and "style", which has pretty much nothing to do with the actual musical genre.

I'll think of more later. Fire away, please.

[Wow]

Emotional Hardcore, Emo for short, is a genre started in 1985 by bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon who took the basic foundations of hardcore and added in artsy guitar lines, poetic lyrics, and passionate vocals. Over time, emo has evolved into a few different styles. There's traditional emo (Moss Icon, Driftwood), hardcore emo (Reach Out, Heroin), mid-west indie influenced (Rockets and Blue Lights, Nuzzle), and screamo (You and I, Usurp Synapse). Although it HAS evolved, absolutley none of the mainstream bands like Hawthorne Heights and Thursday are emo or an evolution of emo. Most, if not all of those bands are either Pop-Punk or Post-Hardcore. The decision to call bands like alexisonfire screamo was arbitrary and mis-informed. Don't be fooled by what the media tells you.

Or something.

:thumb: Great also for clearing out how the actual media-classified emo bands really aren't.

Oh and nervous light of sunday is amazing (to whoever posted the link) I also thought they were a rip-off of CTTS due to their name.

Don't be fooled by what the media tells you.

Due to the nature of its bands, emo is not very well known to the public. Most emo bands had very short lives and some of them never released an actual record (only demos and such). This made it impossible for some bands to gain a vast reputation while they were still active. This is not true for all bands though, as there are a few successful acts in the emo genre which are still active and vastly known by the emo "community", Circle Takes The Square and Hot Cross being very good examples.

The emo musical genre has NOTHING to do with the emo "slice-my-wrists" culture. Emo, musically speaking, is not about cutting your wrists, cutting your hair so it covers 50% of your face, wearing girl pants when you're a male, putting mascara all over your eyes, etc. Emo is about making hardcore music in an artsy/poetic way to focus on a varied specter of emotions. Yes, most music is about emotion... but emo is hardcore-derived; while hardcore focuses on feelings of rage and alienation through a political struggle, emo is generally more introspective.



I'm stretching it too much, I'll summarize this. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.

[Wow]

I like. Keep it how it is.

[RetiredAt21]

Bravo. Very good.

[DFelon204409]

You guys lets stop this. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo

Their definitions and examples for early emo are absolutely superb. Unfortunately there's a breakdown when they go into the modern conception of fake emo. I've already commented in the discussion section about the need to separate the two. I recommend you all check out the site. I've been working on my own emo update in terms of the scenes and chronology. So, once I've finished that by the end of August, you guys can all use that to write up the final definition. The reason progress on my part is slow is that I have been working like I'm freaking picking cotton at this investment job because I want to prove myself. Anyway, if you wanna draft some stuff, do it by IM or email. Then send me a final version. Don't gunk up this thread.

[Wow]

How's the new list coming, btw?

[DFelon204409]

I'm too busy watching Sorority Boys. It's really funny. Unexpectedly so. The key is Kenny from Half Baked is one of the main characters.

[Wow]

Dude, Kenny is one of my gods. I should check it out sometime.

[DFelon204409]

Kenny's virgin butthole is in danger.

Naughty bad jungle of love!

[DFelon204409]

By the way. I wrote a review for Comadre's CD.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=3047&genreid=16

I may YSI the album.

[br3ad_man]

Hey DFelon, what's up?

[DFelon204409]

Watchin Viva la Bam.

[br3ad_man]

Having fun?

[DFelon204409]

Ya but I gotta wake up early for work so I'm going to bed. Mutual funds aren't going to hedge against deflation all by themselves you know. Oh God somebody give me a band to play in.

[br3ad_man]

Ah well. Goodnight.

[natefitforbattle]

i saw ampere and sinaloa last night. it was so nuts man, the bands played in a boxing ring and a bunch of kids were throwing themselves against the ropes and jumping off the turnbuckle during ampere's set. it was one of the best shows i've ever been to. i also picked up their 10", great stuff.

Wow, I'm new to this stuff, but I've got to say, thanks to DFelon, Cbmartinez and the others that were active posters on the first thirty or so pages of this beast. I've d/led a few songs, what songs i can, some Antioch Arrow, Heroin, Angels Hair, Saetia and some Bleeding Kansas. Man that is some awesome stuff, I can't wait until i get paid friday..Blood Brothers and Hot Cross, here I come.

Thanks again guys, you've converted me, I was a closet "fake emo" ist. But I proudly proclaim my fondness of this stuff. But yea, I don't know much, but I'm getting what I can. Keep up the education of uninformed newbs!

[DFelon204409]

Nothing wrong with fake emo. Unless it's From First to Last. I dig new Hopesfall and Underoath and the occasional Atreyu.

[RetiredAt21]

From First to Last are terrible. But the singer is SO dreamy.

[telemore]

Meh, by fake emo, I mean like Silverstein and the like.
...
And I actually got into this stuff by accident, I heard some things about Fear Before, so I picked up Art Damage, and eventually found this thread, got it stuck in my head.

[DFelon204409]

Ya Silverstein sucks. Also, where did you guys find the info about the BVS, Fall of Troy tour? I really wanna go. Explain!

[natefitforbattle]

it was posted on the circa boards and i found out by numbskull productions, it's on their site. i know you live in california, so maybe numbskull books shows in your area?

Says the guy who wont let us mention Tell all your friends.

[DFelon204409]

Because you've already mentioned it once. Because TBS is just repetition all over because you've already said it once, you can't Tell All Your Friends about it anymore AHAHHAHA

[Nataroo]

Hey youre a tech-hardcore head. You might dig these guys (should be in the HC thread but since ive got your attention....)

I dig new Hopesfall

Breathe from coma is awesome.

Art Damage is really good but also pick up Odd How People Shake which is better in my opinion.

i have suicide notes and butterfly kisses on my mp3 player for working out. i don't want to have music i like a lot on there and hear it so many times over and over that it takes something away from it. so i have them on there, and i really don't think that cd is that bad.

and speaking of new underoath, their new cd really is going to be harder. i was skeptical myself before, but it has been confirmed to me.

I like Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses it's just that The Curse is so god **** bad that I just hate Atreyu so much that I couldn't listen to that album for a while.

[RetiredAt21]

I used to like Atreyu...alot. Kinda embarrassing.

Ummm I read about Finch, and they said that they were not going to make the same record, and were naming their working title songs "Mars Volta ripoff" or "Snapcase ripoff" so I thought they were going to take their good sense of melody and put that over more interesting music, but I was wrong. It just sucked. New Underoath is still going to be new Underoath, just they think they'll be getting more cred like old Underoath by turning up the drive.

[whiteminority]

I wish Underoath would go back to their old stuff.

[DFelon204409]

That would require all the old members or time travel, both of which are impossible.

[whiteminority]

Well they could at least try to emulate it. I lost all respect for them when I saw them and 70% of the crowd there for them were 12 year old girls who left after Reinventing Your Exit.

[Wow]

I was hanging out with a girl and she was like "Do you like Underoath?" and I said I dug some of their stuff but wasn't too into most of it. And she was like "Man, Re-inventing Your Exit is the best song ever." She didn't know of any of the old stuff or that it even existed. I wanted to throw her from a second story window (lololol).

[RetiredAt21]

Hahaha. Throwing her from a second story window might make her commit an act of depression.

[DFelon204409]

I really want to ban both you right now.

[ihavetwofeet]

i like **** on my emo chest and i like rubbing off on ducks feet while reading a **** mag with a nig up my anus

[Wow]

I really want to ban both you right now.


Love ya too, babycakes.
