yeah....

except that the roots of current pop-emo began with emo-core in the late 80s, evolving in the DC area with bands like Embrace and Rites of Spring-- largely on the Dischord label. Tired of the same old three-chords and hating Reagan, they began using more complex guitar parts and writing more emotionally complex lyrics-- causing them to be labeled Emotional Hardcore, which eventually got shortened a ton. Embrace was Ian MacKaye's band, but no one has ever heard their album, because he ate every copy of it in a drunken (with power) rage. Rites of Spring are 90% really annoying but a lot of people really dig them.

I was going to score tickets to see the Police but at $89 a ticket I just ended up getting that last album of theirs that I didn't have for $6.99 instead.

Money wisely spent - except it would be nice to actually be at the show where they broke up again. It's be like watching the Kinks when Ray and Dave erupted into fisticuffs, or the Oasis show where Liam heckled Noel incessantly.

I didn't realize emo went back that far, but I knew a guy who was in a self-described emo band in 97 or 98, but I never heard the term used in the mainstream until like 2 years ago. But I don't follow music press at all.

I think my younger brother saw them in Fenway last night. Some friends saw them at Bonnaroo.

Ok stop everything. Just go here, watch the video, have your day lifted and come back to thank me.

I'm not too sure if I like these guys or not.  I'll give it a day and try again.

Wow! Thanks for the link, deja. I loved it! The music is fantastic. Five stars from me.

I always get mesmerized when I watch choreographed dance. It's so great. Also, the singer has a gorgeous voice. He sounds like a more melodious Rufus Wainwright.

as far as I'm concerned, the song everyone needs to hear is "A Change Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. that man could SING.

Do not mock me for never having heard that song, dogs. It is pure gold.
