Moss Icon - Lyburnum

Woah this place looks different it's all grey. Here is some Moss Icon, some band that were playing emotional hardcore before people were even calling it that (emotional hardcore sounds dumb anyway, like regular hardcore isn't emotional already?). Too bad they missed the 'Revolution Summer' by a year or something. Blah blah, it's good, get it.

Faraquet - The View From This Tower

Faraquet were a Washington D.C based band with a very interesting sound; kind of blending a bit of post-hardcore and math-rock with an indie vibe. Of course this means it's very strong instrumentally, and sometimes it kind of reminds me of Off Minor. Also this album was released on Dischord Records if that means anything to you.

Chalk Talk - Killing Spree

old news for old people. This little ep came out in late 2009 and it's pretty irrelevant as far as music listening goes, but fuck is it fun.

Alright so I posted that because I couldn't find the album artwork, but look at those fucking dudes. When listening to these dudes sing off tuned to really simple hardcore songs, with a surprising yet noticeable surf tint, you feel comforted with a sort of relatability in the vein of Titus Andronicus(the distinction being that Titus Andronicus is actually self-aware about this sort of shit and sing about it with this springsteen-esque boldness, thus making them not losers). That's right....this is loser music for losers and it's awesome. Not exactly inventive or even the most exciting music, but it brings me back and brings a smile, so click the link down there.

Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You

I've heard some impenetrable, weird, fucking insane shit in my days, but this just takes the fucking cake. My goodness. Combing raw, dense indie noise-cum-wtf-shit-rock and the most meloncholic, penetrating, deeply infecting vocals and lyrics, Unwound's Leaves Turn Inside You is just unfuckingreal. I don't even know if I like it, it's just ridiculous.

Best Post-Hardcore Album of 2010

That's right folks, letlive have finally reached the peak of their creative aspirations and released the album of their careers. Almost every song has a near jaw-dropping moment and the soaring chanting vocals and crushing rhythms have already defined my summer. Who knows the heights this can acheive?

Red Dead Redemption

I've been playing this game all day, it's pretty sweet. It has guns and horses and cowboys and shit. And lassos! Oh man, lassos. I lassoed this bitch, tied her up and dropped her on the train tracks. Hell yeah. Then I waited close to 10 minutes for the fucking train to come along, what a waste of time and just to put insult to injury it wasn't even that gory or anything. There is, however, no moral to this story. Other than that cowboys are still badass despite what that stupid fucking Brokeback Mountain movie wants you to think. It must be gay propaganda. Cowboys don't take shit from nobody.

I'm a cowboy, motherfucker. The only downside to being a cowboy is that there are people out there trying to stop whatever badass things you want to do. You know, sheriffs and stuff. I'm not too sure if a sheriff actually qualifies as being a cowboy himself, but he's a cowboy killer. He kills cowboys. Well only if he's good I guess, if not I suppose the cowboys kill him. A Day in Black and White are a band that support the killing of cowboys. How edgy is that?
