[sdre-l]: [sdre-l] a few things
Did anyone end up finding out if that actually was Jeremy who posted the review of the live disc at amazon.com? Also is there anyone on this list that actually doesn't like all these "emo" bands? I've given many bands a listen and most of what i hear is just pitiful. It is kind of sad that sdre gets assosiated with some of this stuff. For those of you familliar with The Promise Ring maybe you can help me out with this next question. I borrowed "30 degrees everywhere" from a friend of mine. The first song (which i forget the name of) was actually pretty good. The second song, "Red Paint" was also pretty good. There was one other song i think it was #8 that i kind of liked. All the other songs sounded the same as song #1. Anyways my question is: In the lyrics to "Red Paint" the singer says, "to to two cherry cokes" Someone want to explain to me what the hell that is supposed to mean? I was listening to it and thought to myself, "wtf? did he just say 'two cherry cokes?' " So i whipped out the lyrics and sure enough Some other bands I have heard that are supposedly "emo" whatever the hell that is are: Karate, Jimmy Eat world, The Get up Kids, Braid, Built to spill, Rainer Maria (except the song Breakfast for Champions that song is great), Cap n Jazz, The Crownhate Ruin, Piebald, Sweep the leg Johnny they are all awful. I know its just my opinion and i will prolly get flamed for it but whatever. The music is incredibly boring (actually the bassist for Karate fucking rules) and the lyrics don't do anything for me. On a more positive note, there are some bands that may or may not be considered "emo" that i'm actually quite fond of. Burning Airlines (i guess these guys are or were on the bill with Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan?) Modest Mouse (incredible band) Jets to Brazil ( i dunno if these guys are considered "emo" or not, fuck I just call of this stuff rock music.

Question: was Nate this softspoken in SDRE, or is it a "popularity" thing? charles. = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..wagner = AOLIM TheMadLord .theory. = http://k23.dhs.org/smackboy/theory/ ...np... = Sunny Day Real Estate, "Diary" __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[sdre-l]: Braid broke up??????
Alright I was reading the usual 15 SDRE emails and I noticed someone said Braid was defunct. Please tell me it isn't true, I love Braid. They are really good. If anyone can email me and tell me more about this I would really appreciate it. Also I caught The Get Up Kids in St. Pete Fl and I agree about the crowd. They were rude, moshing broke out a bunch, and I was next to this really sweaty fat guy that kept rubbing all over me, needless to say I showered when I got home, but regardless The Get Up Kids have an awesome live show. I loved it, even got some pictures, none came out to well, but if someone wants one of the pics then email me and I'll send you the OK ones. Damn, I think I just wrote an entire letter to the SDRE mailing list and didn't mention them once, oh well, Sunny Day kicks ass, I thought I had lost my diary album and I trashed my room trying to find it, but I found it so its all good. Everyone enjoy life, its not long enough to stress, Matt Caron
Re: [sdre-l]: sdre ebay activity :(
I read Jenn's email to the list about boots today. I have to say I wholeheartedly agree with her on pretty much every point she makes. That's why I think some bands are starting to let fans tape the shows for their own personal use, without harassing people at the venue's entrance. I, personally, am not a huge fan of live CDs/bootlegs (I'll admit, I have yet to buy the SDRE live) because there's so much more to a live performance than the music. Don't get me wrong, the music drives the entire atmosphere...but there's something to be said for standing there and having your mind blown away by an incredible artist. As for comments made about shoving and moshing that goes on shows, I can understand people's gripes, but you have to understand that everyone wants to enjoy the music in the own fashion. Just because someone's moshing doesn't mean that they're some sort of testostorone-monkey; music affects everyone differently. I also listen to metal, and I go to a lot of metal shows. If the crowd isn't moving around at metal shows, then you can tell the band is not moving the crowd the way they should. If you ever go to a Fear Factory show, even the people (self often included) who stand to the side so as to avoid getting moshed very rarely stand still. They move around and get into the music. Obivously, SDRE or similiar artists don't inflict the same emotion on their listeners, so maybe moshing is little ridicilous at these shows...but everyone should enjoy themselves. That's what is important. These comments seem to be in line with a certain degree of elitism that I've noticed on this list to begin with, so they don't shock me. Wake up people, you're no better for the music you listen to. It may make your life better, but it's doesn't make you any better. I know this doesn't apply to all of us, but there are some who it does apply to. Oh well, to end this on an up note, I'd like to say I'm psyched, cause I'm going to two shows this week: Fountains of Wayne, at the Rutgers College Student Center, and fugazi at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia...so see you all round.

to whatever's listening, SDRE is featured in the current issue of the "stop breathing" mag which is available @ Tower Records, not sure where else, but it's a well written article with great pics and SDRE on the cover, YAY!
