A. There are four current bands one might classify as emo that I genuinely enjoy. My Chem, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday and Thursday.
B. I don't really like Fall Out Boy, Panic!, or most any other band tooling around right now that you probably assume I do.
C. I have been listening to a lot of these bands' predesessors lately, however. Texas is the Reason, Cap'n Jazz, The Promise Ring, The Get up Kids, Jets to Brazil, Mineral, Rainer Maria, etc, etc.
D. I don't actively HATE many bands, and have no shame admitting a shitty band can have a catchy song or two.
E. It's ALWAYS fun, in my experience, to see a popular band play a smaller show. I don't care if it's Fall Out Boy or Radiohead. If P!atD, for example, was playing Sin-e tomorrow and it cost less than $20, I'd make a point to be there. Even after their potentially career killing performance at the VMAs last night.
F. Just like there are plenty of bands we all love who aren't that great live, you have to leave the possibility open that the opposite is just as often true. If a shitty band can genuinely entertain me for an hour or two, what more could I ask for?
G. It just gets boring reading and writing about the same shit every day. The saturation point is often hit for a new band before I ever am able to muster up the energy to care enough about em in the first place. This really is a whole nother debate for another time, but it should be said. It forces me to seek out music I'm not having shoved down my throat by publicists and bloggers, and out of that comes more mainstream stuff I actually have very little exposure to. Some of it is good.
Ok. That said, I have lots of pictures of the secret My Chemical Romance show at Knitting Factory and a few of the Cee-Lo/MIA/Diplo thing from last night up on flickr if anyone's interested. Full recap on all of this next week. Everybody have a good weekend.
where was that diplo/cee lo show? is that MIA next to diplo? i thought she was banned from the US or something
