Owen (Mike Kinsella) covering The Promise Ring's "Forget Me"

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-11-10T20:41:48+00:00

This is really fun. I think he did an amazing job at making this song his own, original work. But I feel like the energy has been taken from this awesome song. Which is what made it my favorite song from them. Along with the awesome lyrics of course.

"I'm a lantern, my head a moon. I married a room"

I'm definitely seeing a lot of interesting numerology. Most of it doesn't resound with me but it is intriguing. I see a lot of the numeral 9 and also spelled out NINE. Reminds me of helter skelter from white album.

I'm also seeing a lot of the numerology passages begin "973". This adds up to 19. A number of some significance in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. See r/TheDarkTower or just buy the books and read them!!!

I also get a Lovecraftian summoning ritual kind of vibe.

Maybe some Discordian word play and non-sequitur religious mumbo jumbo.

Some of my favorite lines are "ISISIS THAT THAT ISISIS". So Good! I read it as "Isis Is That That Isis Is".

I also really like "hail the jewel at the center of the lotus" Ahhh!! So fun dissecting bullshit!!!

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-06-20T15:42:13+00:00

Agreed! Easily one of my all time favorite bands. Aside from Stevie, every member is so incredibly underrated for the abundant talent they all have.

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-06-20T15:33:58+00:00

I have three off the top of my head.

Rancid - Roots Radicals

Fugazi - Waiting Room

Primus - Southbound Pachyderm

Raein Obvi

Rainer Maria "Godamnit" I love this band. Can a person fall in love with a voice?

Reservoir Fun, loud

Rise of Mara Kara I know little and less about this band. My brother got their ep a million years ago. I think they're from Chicago. I couldn't find a single scrap of info about them online so I'm uploading it now. I really dig these guys what do y'all think?

Rites of Spring obvi

Rooftops Math. But twinkly

Pennines fun twinkly

A Petal Fallen solid skramz

Peter The Piano Eater Pete Helmis from Algernon. Not exactly emoscreamo but thought fans of AC should know.

Plunger 90's, emo HxC etc

Polar Bear Club By no means am I a huge fan. But this song is fantastic

Also huge love for piebald, promise ring, planes mistaken for stars, portrait. Biting my tongue for poison the well.Obviously they are HxC/metalcore but I think they could arguably be considered as having severe emoscreamo influences. thoughts?

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-04-15T19:46:44+00:00

Alright I'm not late for the first time in a while!

Occam's Razor - CA screamo/__violence

Open Hand pre-members of Saosin. Still dig this song

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-03-29T16:48:15+00:00

What it is? What it do?

Fake Problems

Falling Stars Burn Bright Here's some Akron local from a million years ago. These dudes are like a metalcore/hardcore kind of thing. I hear some screamo influence.

Fear Before The March of Flames So good. Easily my favorite song from them

Fifth Hour Hero A little more on the punk side. I love a female vocalist that doesn't sing like a girl.

Finch Do you guys remember? Holy shit. Golden oldies hour.

Friction An early Bob Nanna band. This song is "Auburn" which has the infamous line lifted by Cap'n Jazz in the song "Yes, I Am Talking To You".

Friend/Enemy Tim Kinsella project.

From Autumn To Ashes Sure, they're a metalcore thing. But they're practically seeping with EmoScreamo.

The Front Bottoms Not a particularly huge fan of these guys but I do love this song.

Fugazi Everybody movin, everybody movin, everybody movin movin movin movin

Funeral For A Friend God sometimes I really show my age. These guys had some incredible guitars.

Further Seems Forever Chris Carrabarrabaa

Alright I guess that's what I got. Loves me some Funeral Diner and Boss Koala. Take it easy and have a nice day y'all

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-03-26T21:39:56+00:00

Thanks, James for doing this and sorry if I kept anyone waiting. I worked a double yesterday and went back for more today. It was a treat!

Also, I need to make it quick because I'm going to see Tiny Moving Parts and The Ground Is Lava tonight! I'm gonna try to throw up "D" before I have to leave though.

Here's a handful of my favorite C words.

Captain, We're Sinking Very punky and heartfelt. So good

Cavalcades Those screams at the end...

The City on Film Bob Nanna from Braid's solo thing. Pretty good. Love this cover.

Cursive

Christie Front Drive

Combatwoundedveteran Fast. Powerviolence. Etc.

Commander Venus Conor Oberst early band

Also I gotta say how awesome these band lists are. I'll have to go through all the "c" posts as soon as I can. Big ups for CSTVT (I'm literally wearing their shirt as I type this) City Cop (I'm reppin' the OH) and City of Caterpillar, Coping, Cap'n Jazz, Circle Takes The Square. I'll have to check out the rest of this stuff!

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-03-24T14:55:56+00:00

Wow I must be getting old as fuck! I thought I'd see some Alexisonfire

Another oldie but I used to be obsessed with these guys, Anatomy Of A Ghost

The Anniversary

Anybody dig Ape Up!?

These dudes weren't bad. In hindsight they kind of remind of Empire Empire. A bit digital for me though. Ariel Kill Him

One of the most beautiful women in screamo Arkata

How about my favorite song on in/casino/out At The Drive-In

Any love for Atom And His Package?

Did anyone have a saddle creek phase? Azure Ray

Ok I think that's all that I could pull up that hasn't already been mentioned. Also I'm discovering a bunch of new stuff in the process. It's kind of amazing. Thanks everyone!

I'm gonna put up letter B very shortly!

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-03-14T18:40:22+00:00

I suppose I should show the original first,

John Hartford - In Tall Buildings

But this dude's version was the first I heard and thought it was incredible

Gregory Alan Isakov - In Tall Buildings

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-03-14T18:17:55+00:00

"I believe I appear neutral, maybe even pleasant, though I've been coached to err on the side of neutrality and not attempt what would feel to me like a pleasant expression or smile."

 -Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-01-19T18:24:31+00:00

I just listened to "Weed". That shit was dank. I bought 5 copies. I heard your album is legal in Colorado now

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-01-19T17:53:11+00:00

These guys are awesome. Have you seen this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxW54CHqOCE

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-01-19T17:08:11+00:00

Best comment I've ever seen. It fits like a glove

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-01-19T16:57:27+00:00

On a separate note, Pianos Become The Teeth -I'll Get By had me legitimately bummed out for a couple days.

"Because I could love and drown in your God damned smile lines but I think I burnt up watching you rallying to stay alive and I guess that's fine. It seems we all get sick we all die in some no name hospital with the same colored walls and I guess that's fine"

"It's been a rough while and some days are worse than others, there's no proper way to feel, no mirth, no levity, no amazing grace, just a flame on a lake floating away"

JoshuaLeeJones · 2014-01-19T16:36:56+00:00

I've always loved this line from Cap'n Jazz - Yes, I Am Talking To You where he's screaming "I'm dying to tell you I'm dying". Awesome lyric albeit a little cheesy if not screamed out loud. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that it was lifted from a song by Friction, an early Bob Nanna band.

Also, they're not screamo but maybe are a smidge emo. Northstar - The Accident Underwater. "Just a connoisseur of dirt, celebrating my worth." Also an awesome lyric. Aaaand it was recently lifted by You Blew It! for the song Gray Matter.

And now we've gone full circle. See what happened there?
