Tell a punk rocker in 1986 that the guy from Descendents who just quit drumming for Black Flag and one of the two singers from Lemonheads make this song together. 🤯

If I were a politician, I’d be a single issue candidate focused on mandating that correlation ≠ causation is taught in high school.

Clear and True Rainer Maria · Catastrophe Keeps Us Together · Song · 2006

Often lumped into, or even overlooked, as a 2nd wave emo novelty, Rainer Maria is so much more than that, particularly on their “final” Catastrophe Keeps Us Together, which is full of beautifully written and produced moody rock n roll songs. Here’s a gem. open.spotify.com/track/73a0DF...

Wonder how much better of a place the world would be if we all just said “Oh, that sounds / looks / feels different. Explain it to me.”, like, just a tiny bit more.

Coexist Have Mercy · Coexist · Song · 2017

The fourth wave of emo was so good that a tune like this, even a bit on-the-nose, is just kinda regarded as a decent shuffle song. A bona fide radio hit 10-15 years earlier.

This one is rightfully appreciated in certain circles, but outside of that it’s a crime that it’s not more broadly considered one of the best songs ever written. open.spotify.com/track/5MtYwS...

As if there aren’t enough reasons to hate Ticketmaster, I’ve never used any app or service that requires re-logging in as much as theirs. Great job causing panic for show-goers rocking up and not being able to login because you require weekly reauthentication. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Grace Neverending White Lights · Act I: Goodbye Friends of the Heavenly Bodies · Song · 2005

10% of the time I think perhaps this tune is kinda generic mid-00s pop rock. 90% of the time I’m confident it’s a gorgeous, transcendent song that deserves to be heard by everyone. open.spotify.com/track/3TAXeV...

Boss CH-1 is really just the best chorus ever. I messed with the OBNE Reflector and Visitor and they were cool but nothing beats the classic. For a cool chorus effect with reverb the Screen Violence is pretty dope.

Sometimes it’s a good thing the internet never forgets. Here’s a lost banger from Evan Dando, Ben Lee, Jason Schwartzman, and Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick) that seems to only exist on a 12 year old YouTube post. youtu.be/jNYPy-k2PSs?...
