Why is ‘Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?’ by Harvey Danger not in the emo canon? It even has a house for album art.

Canadian bands signing solely to American labels hurts their Canadian fans. There’s a band who I would love to support by buying their new record, but it’s only shipping from the US.

For me to buy it on CD would cost $11 USD for the disc, and then an additional $16 USD for shipping. Add in taxes, and conversion, and it’s probably going to cost me $35 for that CD with most of it going to the USPS. This is a problem.

‘Epic’ is a solid song, but how is it Faith No More’s ‘big song’ when ‘From Out Of Nowhere’ is right there?

Wearing camo pants and a black record label t-shirt while drinking craft beer and listening to my hardcore 7”s. Could I be more 40?

We saw glimpses of it on GLOW ON, but with NEVER ENOUGH I really feel @TURNSTILEHC have cemented themselves as the Pink Floyd of hardcore and that is ok with me. This new record is a journey.

Just reading a book on SST records. In it it’s stated that Greg Ginn was a big fan of The Grateful Dead. I always found it interesting that Kris Roe changed the lyrics to ‘Boys of Summer’ in @theataris from ‘a Dead Head sticker’ to ‘a Black Flag sticker’. Was it intentional?

Best post grunge band? It has to be Bush, or Silverchair. No?

Recorded a pretty fun episode, last night. If you’re a fan of ‘small town California’ hardcore, you’ll dig it. That’s all I’m gonna say.

One of my kid’s friends said they listen to my podcast ‘all the time’. Should I be worried, or should I be pumped?

At an AHL hockey game that’s “emo night” themed. Drunk guy behind me yelled “WHAT’S EMO EVEN MEAN?” Me like a Vietnam vet- “brother, if only you knew……and seen the shit I’ve seen”

Of all the ‘post-grunge’ bands, who was the best, and why was it Bush or Silverchair?

I’m proposing a cover band that just plays Circle Jerks songs while wearing jean shorts. Call it Circle Jorts.

Fondly remembering when I had to venture downtown, to some grungy independent shoe store to buy my first pair of Chuck’s…now all you gotta do is go to your closest big box store and you’re set!
