    There are some really nice drums on the end of "These Are The Fables" on Twin Cinema. A very good album.

    Q and not U are dope. I haven't listened to them since 2001, but I used to love that shit. I think I may have to pull out their album after work today.

    The singer is working on some new stuff here in DC, should be good.

    you should die yer hair black with white streaks, leave your bangs long and the rest of your hair spikey, then put on a little make-up

    Never really listened to them, but my homegirl Neko sings with them. She and I used to go to lots of punk rock shows and do lots of drinking together back in the 80s in Tacoma, WA. She is mad cool.

    I really dig The New Pornographers, have done so for years. GET ON MY LEVEL

    Although, I wouldn't really say they're "emo", I feel they have more of a "pop" vibe, but that's just boring pitchforkian hair splitting. What I do like about them is the fact that for each of their albums, I've kinda just felt meh about them during the first listen but upon repeated plays it really starts to grow on me, which is something I can say for many of my favorite bands.

    Oh, and, they can be really hit and miss live, they did two nights in a row at Bimbo's 365 in SF, on the first night they were apparently really off but on the second night they killed it as far as I'm concerned. Plus, they ended their set with a Journey song that they didn't really know the lyrics to.

    I had forgotten their name yesterday, but I was actually thinking about a band called Ris Paul Ric which, as far as I know, is still sort of in-progress. Obviously I haven't heard them yet, but from the way it's been described to me by a friend of mine in the group, it should be interesting...

    Ris Paul Ric[/b] = Chris Paul Ric[/b]hards of Q and Not U. Purple Blaze was his first album under that name but there's been rumblings that his new stuff is very different. I'll wait and see. he has two songs on his myspace from his last album: www.myspace.com/rispaulric

    oh, ok. shows how much i have been keeping up with it. i checked out those tracks. his new stuff, from what i understand, should be a completely different direction altogether.

    im kinda dissapointed by the new vetiver... liked the first one a lot more

    please define "emo"

    then: ian mackaye term, (some) dischord bands, 'emotive'

    now: pop-punk lite a la white belts, chucks and no reaction audiences at shows

    how many emos does it take to screw in a light bulb?
    none, they all cry in the dark.

    i say all this in the spirit of friendship, of course.

    I know the actual "definition" of "emo" and the roots of it as well, understanding that todays "emo" music is a far cry from what it's original genesis is.

    However I just throw that term around as a blanket term for this type of indie rock like music. I was never a part of this type of stuff, like really I'm woefully ignorant of music that falls under these parameters.

    Seriously though, I'm in my 30s and I couldn't tell the difference between The Smiths and The Cure until last year.

    i was being silly. i think the term has less and less to do with music and more and more with clothing/scenes.

    i myself prefer emu.
