Bang yer head - Portraits Of Past The times i've listened to the Portraits of Past LP all the way through vs. the times i've lifted the needle after this song. The second song. KQED Equals Volvo to this song and nothing is as perfect. That, in a spate of masochism, denying myself the rest of the album, is enough. Things are as perfect, every bit as perfect, throughout both sides of that record, yet i stop after this song more often [...]

There is this great band that you need to hear. Me: Who? Brother: Why do you post garbage? You should only write about good music. Me: Who is this band? Brother: Texas Is The Reason. Me: [...]
Way before what teens today think of as emo, the term was shorthand for emotional hardcore. It was not a dirty word that referred to the lifestyle that gets so much negative press these days. Originating in the Washington, DC music scene of the mid-1980's, some so-called "first-wave" emo or emocore bands included Rites of Spring, Embrace, and Moss Icon.
