Since the “Skinny Jeans” misunderstanding, I’m still reflecting on EMO. Last night I posted above The Anniversary’s Designing a Nervous Breakdown record which is awesome all the way through. Came across the Brief History of EMO and it references The Get Up Kids Something to Write Home About as being highly influential in the over all timeline of EMO, one of the tracks on that record Valentine has always been very sentential and I still can’t believe it never topped any charts as it is so heart felt, but it opens up wit the line “Words you forget to Anniversary Songs” to bring it full circle. Nerdy fact ,The Anniversary actually opened for the Get Up Kids on this Album Tour… and then Napster took over the way music was consumed and a lot of us became obsessed with MP3 catalogs, instead of just listening to full albums.

Emo was a term created by an album reviewer for Thrasher magazine in 1986. He described this album as “emo” hardcore. Ian MacKaye the singer was not happy with the word because he considered all hardcore emotional. 37 years later and “emo” is now hair and fashion styles (and music genre). That record reviewer probably regrets using the word emo.
Edit: watched the vid but couldn’t before. It got it pretty right.

Lemon Demon for life baby! I can’t access YouTube at the time, so no links, but some of my favs are Modify (coincidentally my all time favorite song), My Trains, and Touch Tone Telephone! Another band I adore is Tally Hall, especially a lot of their songs in Good & Evil (Like Turn the Lights Off, &, and cCannibal)

King Gizzard’s new album The Silver Cord is heavily in the electronic realm this time. Evil heavy psych dance(???I think) I love the extended edition! The title track turns into DNB!!! Good stuff.
