Song of the day 4/14/2011

I'm really looking forward to the next Future of the Left record, because it means they'll probably tour and probably come to Seattle and it will be amazing.

If past performance is anything to go by - they'll bring the following:

• A rack of identical black Epiphone SG guitars.
• A smart, snarky attitude that borders on distain for the audience.
• Filthy bass tone.
• Loud, loud music. Loud enough that it affects your vision not just your hearing.

This is one of those songs that confers on the listener a sense of indestructability was they walk through even the most bro-infested streets on a Saturday night (see also: songs by White Zombie, songs with the word “motherfucker” in the title).

Come on Rick, I'm not a prize. I'm not a cynic or one of those guys!

SotD 4/12/11 - Jawbreaker's Save Your Generation

This song is an old favorite from high school, and I still love it. Unfortunately, it's much more difficult to find good video from the 90s. I also made the discovery of a Fall Out Boy cover of this song. Blecch.

Back then I really wanted to be punk or a rude girl but didn't do a great job at either. I was too naive and "nice." I dyed colored streaks in my hair and pinned a safety pins to my hoodie but never progressed much beyond that. I didn't really have any money so my safety pin collection sucked. If I'd really been punk I suppose I would have shoplifted them. Punk fail.
