Snow Patrol is a guilty semi-pleasure: pleasant--good music for painting red houses but neither sophisticated nor creative, and increasingly plastic to boot. They're relatively palatable whinerock, with the typical shortcomings and appeal--it's sweet in a wistful kind of way, but guilty of emotional posturing and brooding. The saving grace is variety, or at least a shallower monotony: if the songs' narrator were a person, he'd feel pretty much the same all the time, but for slightly different reasons. Behold Mahogany from Songs for Polar Bears , which is wistful at a relationship that [...]
Wow. I'm speechless. Even more shocked than the Gorillaz autobiography. Info here. Does he really has 20,000 fans per major city? I remember the days when he would have trouble selling out 9:30 Club in DC (capacity = 1200), back in 2000/2001. MP3: 'Hands Down' (acoustic)
Some mashups, as I've said before, just fall together perfectly - everything about them combines and they just sound like it could be an original. This is one of them - done by the tremendously talented Faultside, we hear Liam Gallagher and Michael Stipe battling each other - with Michael winning out, but that's okay. Liam gets his licks in. It's "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" vs. "The One I Love", and it's just the awesomeness of fun. I didn't even realize I had this one on my computer and randomly it turned on yesterday and, [...]
Therapy is pretty grand, actually. My buddy The Rev refers to it as taking a class about yourself, and while I'd like to fancy myself as self-aware, I'm already getting a lot more out of it than I thought. Three weeks in and I'm growing excited to be part of the process. The actual hour I sit with my therapist is great; perhaps more important is the mindset it promotes. Therapy is also kicking my ass. I'd like to write "in a good way" at the end of that sentence, but it's quite painful [...]
I can't speak for Bradley, but I can safely say for myself that I have suffered heartache. Nothing too recent or anything, but it's there. Anyway , I understand that although wallowing one's self in heartbreaking music may not help to heal the wound, it still gives a sense of sickening comfort. So, wallow, all you broken hearts, and listen to these songs that will undoubtedly aid you on your quest for ultimate indulgence in pain. mp3 Dashboard Confessional- Standard Lines mp3 The Get Up Kids- The [...]
Oh, Mr. Carabba - what is a fan to do? Gone are the days of Chris strumming to himself at a quiet campfire. Like many other fan reviews I have read, the latest Dashboard Confessional CD, Dusk and Summer , misses it's mark. It starts off and you think, "Sweet. About time that I had another Dashboard CD CD in my hands", but quickly dissolves into a mess. Coming off his 'Vindicated' premier to the general public on the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack last summer, Chris must have decided that his new direction of music was [...]
Am I too old to listen to Dashboard Confessional ? Sometimes I wonder. Listening to Chris Carrabba sing is almost like eavsdropping on the thoughts of a very confused and in love adolescent: raging emotions one minute and then calm waters the next. But I can tap into those memories so easily sometimes, you know? I guess that's what keeps me coming back for each new release. Showcasing an even bigger, broader sound than 2004's A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar , DC have captured, in essence, a song cycle showcasing summer [...]
