  1. just now occurred to me that he’s saying new-scum and not news-cum
  2. I was an extra in Bandslam. There are some concert scenes where I’m theoretically in the crowd, but another scene where they are backstage and I’m behind Aly Michalka and Vanessa Hudgens packing my bass gear away. I got to do makeup and wardrobe and all that shit. I accidentally stared directly at the camera a few times 😶 I think that movie is pretty forgotten, but it was decent for what it was if I remember. High School Musical era teen dramedy about a battle of the bands.
  3. probably stole them from tommy’s closet
  4. He’s rolling pretty deep though. you try and fuck with a guy wearing a bedazzled leather shirt and a Paul Reed Smith, you’re going to get pepper sprayed.
  5. Zoob was the owner, normally perched near the door. Big dude, big Texas fan. I’ve been away for a while, I don’t know what’s been going on with him, but it looks like he’s gone. Rest in peace buddy.
  6. despite generally being representative of both my era and scene, I never cared much or paid much attention to the all american rejects. I do think the impromptu show thing that they are doing is kinda cool, but I've heard lots of stories about their lead singer being the biggest primadonna douchebag of all time so I mostly move past them.
  7. Seeing some bad news circling about concerning Zoob at the Chili Parlor. No idea of cause or context but sounds like he’s no longer with us. Going to cook up a bowl of xxx. Extra thick.
  8. Yeah me too until recently - my sister had that cd in her disc logic case in her Sunfire. I completely forgot about the opening part. It’s kind of an incredible song - if you were making a movie about some band from 1999 it would be the perfect “let’s steal a bit from every possible genre of mainstream rock from this time” type song. And then the band having a verb# name - 🧑‍🍳😘
  9. Much harder song about black post breakup belongings Darren Jesse (drummer) just performed nearby recently and I almost went just to see.
  10. Yeah but what are they saying in the comments
  11. That’s always the hardest part
  12. I don’t always wear this watch because it weighs 7 pounds and is 3 feet tall, but it is pretty
  13. it's harder than it looks apparently
  14. one asshole goes one way, the other asshole goes the other way. and then immamac is sayin "whaddya want from me?"
  15. I prefer using a strap tie on the neck, but my d-41 already had a button installed on the heel. I wouldn’t worry too much about doing it, but make sure you know where you want it first.
  16. is Wednesday part of this? There's a lot of grunginess to that sound and MJ Lenderman is clearly heavily influence by alternative rock bands of that era ahh i knew that
  17. a) I assume you're talking about The Mars Volta for the guitarist? and b) it's funny, ATDI is a pretty formative post-hardcore band and one I've listened to a fair bit both back in the day and later on up till even now, and they're from Texas as well, and certainly their stage presence was an influence on my little baby band's whole thing, but I don't actually know that much about the guys or even which ones are in Mars Volta or their stances on stuff or etc. But also, one time we were in LA to meet with some labels in that very cool era of "we're definitely going to make it" and saw Cedric sitting alone at Jumbo's Clown Room, right before Justin Long bummed a cigarette in the parking lot. Which was a funny fucking night.
  18. ha, as someone who still has his warped tour all access pass and literally headlined an emo night concert week before last I don't really disagree with you overall. In this thread I'm needling a little bit because it's fun and also because, while I don't disagree with you broadly, I truly don't get the band choices (modest mouse and at the drive in) you've made to illustrate the point. Which, also, totally fine. We covered Modest Mouse - for At The Drive In, I personally don't understand the first fucking thing about what they're saying in the lyrics and while yes I know you said it's not about lyrics, I also don't get where else you have the limp passive thing or the my fees fees thing unless it's because they're wearing girl jeans. Which, fine, but that's one of the cross generational things and is a tale as old as time. I am about 1000% certain that you could track the rise and fall of mall emo with instances of teen self harm. There were several fucked up toxic things about that genre, one of which was how mental health and generally being fucked up and somehow traumatized got turned into what makes you special and essentially fashion or part of the whole affectation. That stuff is bad, but on the flip side you also have very sick and twisted people (obviously not talking about 650) who use that kind of obvious toxicity to take a completely opposite and evil stance towards mental illness and people who are different than themselves or have had the audacity to face actual obstacles in their lives. I bristle at that because I think we should treat others how we'd like to be treated. Anyways, that's a tangent that's really not related to even this side conversation which is distracting us from the important purpose of this thread. Also I really don't know anything about Mumford and Sons - before I ever listened to them I got the sense that they sucked and so I never did. But there have been several times I've been tricked into liking his stuff (Ted Lasso theme, Oscar Isaac duet from Llewyn Davis, New Basement Tapes, which also reminds me of Dawes being a band from this category) and so my assumption is that he is actually a super talented guy who has the audacity to make extremely accessible music that girls like. So maybe I'll check out that album. If you really want to hurt my millennial feelings, tell me that Sufjan is a pussy whose music is bad.
  19. Some collection from The Last Waltz. Is that.. Danko on the bass?
