“emo”. i personally have heard the term “emo” (originally “emo-core” and shortened later) used and abused a million times over the years. i’ve heard it applied both properly (arguably), semi-improperly and totally inappropriately to tons of different bands and scenes. in my opinion, i don’t even think supposedly authoritative sources like the wikipedia page or […]

Since it seems like there’s random interest from friends or acquaintences to hear the old […]

top 10 albums of 2006 pt. 1
i don’t normally make this kind of list, but in reading a bunch of my favorite sites (pitchfork, stylus, avclub, etc), they all had their own various picks of 2006 so i thought i’d give it a shot for once. to be honest, generally their lists just made me feel kinda lame, ’cause i hadn’t […]
