great show! ( or as we the emo say, it was maybe as good as your last show, oh ! )
i have liked this show since the first one i heard, where you spent the whole episode digging into the "it's friday, friday, friday - oh!" pop song and i had the terrible realization that i, who had listened to dashboard confessional, the postal service / death cab for cutie, rooney, and fall out boy for the last 20 years, and in true emo sense feel compelled to make said list, might actually like pop music, and might read the rise and fall of my beloved emo into pop culture not in stubborn and melancholy jealousy but instead in the terms of seeing my fellow skinny jeans wearing falsetto singing eyeliner artists finally recognized as worth it to get the girl or guy who we've been longing for for sooooooooooo looooong! anyway, i made this comment because today you mentioned emo and as i listened to your willow track at the end, you all referenced a few songs but i heard the final chorus of dashboard confessionals "screaming infidelities" with the insane dual octave scream plus open mouthed belting cry of "giving you aaaaawaaaayyyy its over" by chris carabba and with his insane 12 string acoustic guitar . you guys didn't go there but it was so fun to hear even the genre coming back as being cool. may emo be the second best and the other guy in total angst forever except when we get these cathartic moments of being lauded in public by cool pods like this! do you like dreaming of things so impossible? yes? i'll see you here...🎵🎤🎧Read full review »
