The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Young Adult Friction

Between the stacks in the library
Not like anyone stopped to see
We came they went our bodies spent
Among the dust and the microfiche

Dark winters wear you down
Up again to see the dawn
In your worn sweat shirt
And your mother’s old skirt
It’s enough to turn my studies down

Now that you feel
You say it’s not real
Now that you feel
You say it’s not real

I never thought I would come of age
Let alone on a moldy page
You put your back to the spines
And you said it was fine
If there’s nothing really left to say

You’re taking toffee with your vicodin
Something sweet to forget about him

If you go your own way
I will go my own way
And well never speak of it again

Now that you feel
You say it’s not real
Now that you feel
You say it’s not real

Don’t check me out
Don’t check me out
Don’t check me out, out, out (repeat)

Carissa's Wierd

Carissa's Wierd (Weird being deliberately mispelled) was an indie rock band from Seattle. Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto formed Carissa’s Wierd in 1995, and released three albums before their 2003 breakup. Some people classified their genre as "sadcore", which is (according to wikipedia) an infrequently employed subgenre term used by music journalists to describe examples of alternative rock characterised by bleak lyrics, downbeat melodies and slower tempos. LOL @ bleak lyrics, so what's the difference between emocore and sadcore? Maybe i should invent a new genre too named "sorrowcore" or maybe "crycore" perhaps? LOL. Mat Brooke and Ben Bridwell later went on to form Band of Horses.

Jawbox

Dischord is a fucking amazing record label ever. I like all of dischord bands. Including Jawbox, another D.C.'s post-hardcore outfits. Formed in 1989 and broke up in 1997. And also reunited for one night in 2009 (9th December @ Late Nite With Jimmy Fallon). This was their first show since early 1997.

glassJAw

glassJAw is a post-hardcore band from New York. glassJAw's sound has changed over the course of their history, consisting of the genres; experimental rock, afro-beat, screamo, hardcore, progressive rock, alternative rock and many more lol. Where the hell are they now? The band's kinda unactive since Daryl Palumbo, (the frontman who has x tatto inside his lips) broke the edge (which left Justin Beck as the only member of Glassjaw to remain straight edge) and starts to sing about liquor on his new band Head Automatica. Don't get me wrong, i like Head Automatica (i have their cd "decadence") but glassJAw is 10 times better than Head Automatica, sorry lol. So Daryl, stop making new album for Head Automatica and get back to glassJAw. Yea i know that you needed money and all but you need to finish what you've started.

Frodus

another great post-hardcore band from D.C. They're like, the pioneer of this genre named "Spazzcore" which is a mixture between math rock, hardcore punk, and indie rock lol. The frontman, Shelby Cinca is also a member of The Cassettes, Frantic Mantis, and Triobelisk. They've toured with Refused, which is kinda awesome.

Coalesce

Coalesce is a 4 piece post-hardcore/mathcore band from Kansas City, Missouri. Their music is characterized by strange shifting tempos, noise, groove, and boundless creativity. You gotta listen to this shit, seriously. They just released a new album titled "OXEP" while ago. It's their first album in almost a decade. and guess what? they're still kicking ass. :D

flashback : Eskobar ft. Heather Nova - Someone New

it was 2002. i saw this video on mtv.

So is it goodbye?
Is it time to set you free?
Is it time to let it fly?
Is it time to let it bleed

We used to take turns
To cover up the pain
Deep below it burns
And the fellin' still remains

You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on thru,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you

Yes we gave it a try
But maybe for too long
Out of every sorrow
Another day will dawn

You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on thru,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you

And the road travels on
But I'm still near you
In my life, like a song
I will still hear you
Still

Sun will shine for you
'Cause I adore you...
