Because you know it’s going to be a weird day when I start listening to Guided By Voices.
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III by Godspeed You! Black Emperor This is easily my favourite song ever. I’ve loved GSYBE since grade six or seven when I first bought Yanqui UXO at Sunrise Records at the mall. They’ve influence my life, musically, politically, socially, in more ways than I can count. I don’t know, just get into if you aren’t already!

If you’ll let me jump a decade, here is Save Your Generation by Jawbreaker. Them and Sunny Day Real Estate are the next wave of emo. They began in New York in the late 80’s listening to none other than Rites of Spring and Embrace. The influence is a little hard to hear on Dear You, but that’s because it’s coming in almost a full decade after the band started. Dear You is maybe their least popular record, but it’s my favourite Jawbreaker release.
This is Embrace and their song Do Not Consider Yourself Free. This album was written in 1985, what, like two years after Ian finished with Minor Threat? Dude must’ve done a lot of growing up in those two years. Like most of from my friends from high school, Embrace are only good in small doses.
Here’s a cool video of Guy and the gang from Rites of Spring playing Spring at the old 9:30 club in DC. Rites of Spring are basically the first emo band ever. Them along with Ian Mackaye’s Embrace basically laid down the foundation for the the wrist cutting shitstorm that was emo in the last decade. Just like how Diamond Head bridged the gap between Zeppelin and Metallica, Rites of Spring make the link between early DC dardcore and the later post-hardcore era. Guy and Ian actually went on to form Fugazi. Makes you appreciate just how involved Ian and the Dischord guys really were in the Washington scene.
Hey gang, I wrote a funny article about social media for Travis Magazine. It’s my first time published and I’m pretty excited about it. I also have an article coming out in the print edition later this month. That’ll be about the exciting world of computer algorithms. No, seriously, computer algorithms….
I’m working on a new feature for travismag.com I’m hoping they’ll let me call Welcome to the Twitterdome. In honour of that, here is Welcome to the Terrordome by Public Enemy.
Lepers to Feed the Lepers/Birth Plague Die by Trash Talk live in Dublin 2010. It’s just one of those days, ya dig?
I Want You (She’s so Heavy) by The Beatles
This is The World Is In A Tangle by Jimmy Rogers, because you know I’m gonna build myself a cave, move down into the ground.
Converge are the only band left from my high school Big Three that I still need to see. I saw Bane in 2009 in Toronto and again six months later in Buenos Aires, and last fall I saw Terror in Toronto with my good pal Brie-Cheese.
First Light/Last Light by Converge is one of the best intros to an album I can think of. First heard this in like 2004, and it still rips!
Not much to say here so just shake it to Shake It by Tom Waits,
