You a fan of the Ken Kaniff skit?
It’s not something I go back to often lol, but it works in the context of the album. It’s just an ugly vulgar digression that slots in decently between the rage of Marshall Mathers and the bouncy fun of D*** Ballad. It’s like a silly Howard Stern era prank phone call type thing. Also ICP still sucks so bad that just making fun of them even in that really cheap way is fine by me.

One of my favorite recent discoveries. Like if Belle & Sebastian were a late 70’s new wave and power pop band.

I wish they stayed in that style
It’s funny how they’ve become the meme for emo/sad kid music or whatever and then people go back and listen to them and are like “woah this is actually sick”
I remember The Black Parade didn’t do much for me but I have to give it another shot
I never could get into anything they’ve done, but their frontman always had a great ear for melody—so I get why they shifted direction a bit. Might revisit their stuff. It’s been a while.
Gerard’s awesome. Them and AFI made me appreciate that exaggerated melodic singing style.

"Real Emo only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE"

You ever read any Tobias Wolff? He was good friends with Raymond Carver back when they both taught at my alma mater. Been meaning to finish This Boys Life. But here's one of my favorite short stories by him. One of the best shorts ever and definitely worth the quick read.

Also a nice little essay/tribute to Carver that he wrote some while back.

"It’s all there in his poem 'The Baker.'
Then Pancho Villa came to town
hanged the mayor
and summoned the old and infirm
Count Vronsky to supper.
Pancho introduced his new girl friend,
along with her husband in his white apron,
then asked the Count to tell him
about his unhappy exile in Mexico.
Later, the talk was of women and horses.
Both were experts.
The girl friend giggled
and fussed with the pearl buttons
on Pancho’s shirt until,
promptly at midnight, Pancho went to sleep
with his head on the table.
The husband crossed himself
and left the house holding his boots
without so much as a sign
to his wife or Vronsky.
That anonymous husband, barefooted,
humiliated, trying to save his life, he
is the hero of this poem."
