Happy Halloween!

October 31, 2008 / Leave a Comment

To celebrate Halloween, a quick little post with a couple covers of a purported favorite film among emo kids (and here I thought most people of our generation who grew up with it had a basic fondness towards the movie) by a couple of famous emo acts. Here goes… Panic! At The Disco – “This … [Read more…]

Kanye Wemo

October 21, 2008 / 1 Comment

It’s been a number of days, but Stereogum’s post on Kanye West’s “Coldest Winter” caught my eye for oh so many reasons. Of course, images offer the best summation. Thanks Stereogum: The post offers an interesting look at the perception of emo today. Given that Stereogum doesn’t play into mainstream music standards and often prides … [Read more…]

From Fall Out Boyz to the Man

October 16, 2008 / Leave a Comment

It seems like Fall Out Boy really are that boy band in emo as each release progresses. Take for example, “What A Catch, Donnie” off the group’s forthcoming album, Folie A Deux: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YkguquIq2Y] You’ve got to give the Fall Out Boyz a good chunk of credit.

Yo Jimmy!

October 14, 2008 / Leave a Comment

What do you get when you mix emo with childhood? Happiness, of course! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX9zzr_xEnk] I honestly wish Yo Gabba Gabba! had been around when I was a kid – you can only watch Sesame Street for so many hours. And may Jimmy Eat World continue to confound critics of emo with their creative choices and … [Read more…]

Opera, Rotten Butter, and Words

October 7, 2008 / Leave a Comment

Down with the Sickness

October 2, 2008 / Leave a Comment

Sorry for the lack of posting, I’ve been a bit under the weather. But here’s some quick stuff to throw at you, although none of it necessarily emo related. Here goes… *In preparation for the kickoff of the Baltimore Round Robin today/tomorrow at Mass Art, here’s an excellent article the New York Times wrote up … [Read more…]
