Get Over Yourself

Jawbox- Savory

Sooo i don’t know what the deal is but i keep trying to make a new Muxtape and it just uploads one song then takes hours trying to do the next one. RARHHH…well maybe eventually the one I have been trying to upload for weeks will come to fruition.

RIYL - Cap ‘n Jazz, The Promise Ring, Frame

Red Leader is slowly becoming one of my favorite labels out there. Scream Hello is a four piece band hailing from New Brunswick NJ. “Smart & Stupid” has a very fun sound. I had a hard time nailing the RIYL because I hear so many different elements in the music. Its a fun upbeat punk rock record (minus the song “Seventeen” which is almost a piano ballad at first).  These guys walk the line between the whole hip indie rock thing and good old fashioned punk and pop punk. My only qualm with “Smart & Stupid” is that its only  four songs and it left me wanting more. 

Oh on a side note, the list Don Mattingly as an influence which is awesome because who doesn’t love Donny Baseball.

Here is a track from the record. Enjoy.

Scream Hello - A Few Minuets 

From 10am to 10pm enjoy yourself a free small iced coffee from dunkin donuts. I know I did!

The Descendents- Coffee Mug

Glassjaw - Black Coffee

So my updates have been scarce and I’m really trying to work on that. I’m not sure what the problem is being that i have more free time on my hands than ever. I am sitting on a small pile of records that I WILL get around too I promise. I also have been trying to upload a new MUXTAPE, but for some reason it keeps fucking up.

In the meantime (such a sick album), WATCH THIS

Rainy days are lame. 

Glassjaw - Must’ve Rained All Day

Head over to their My Space to check out “Letter Of Resignation” .  I’m digging it. But don’t trust me Level-Plane could package a 12″ turd and i’d still buy it.

Level-Plane has launched a pre-order which will give people the option of a limited gold-colored vinyl. Pre-ordrs are here

This may not seem like an accomplishment for most but since I moved out of my parents house I haven’t lived in one place for more than a year. So I am exited that on this day I’m not trying to find parking with a U-hal breaking stuff trying to move it down 3 flights of stairs. So hears to another year in the hood!

The Get Up Kids - One Year Later

Jaromes Dream - And Just Like That The Year Is Gone

Grade - A Year In The Past, Forever In The Future

New Found Glory - Tip Of The Iceberg 7″

International Superheroes Of Hardcore - Takin It Ova 12″

very stoked on both of these.

Now for the shitty part of the mail:

Kids do yourself a favor and go to state school. I wish i did.

Our friends over at Can You See The Sunset have posted “Buckets Full Of Emo” which is even better than his “Spoonful Of Emo” posts. Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. There are such amazing songs in everyone of these posts so please check them out and show some love. 

and p.s Taking Back Sunday is awesome. FUCK THE HATERS.
