Smile - the fall

Particularly, the Peel Session version. I listen to this most days before work, Mark E. Smith was always able to create this bleak atmosphere, pulling all the annoying things from the mundane. All punk seems like a charade in comparison to this, this is the only song that matters sometimes, all that anger.

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love

Had a bad day? Throw bullets on. Had a good day? Throw bullets on. Demolition Lovers is the best song ever made and I stand by that. Ray Toro’s music theory and sonic approach isn’t typical for what emo was(although this album clearly has some metal influence)and it’s cool to hear where they started that MCR sound. This is the best MCR album. I could geek out over this album all day every day. And I do. I’ve listened to this easily over 500 times sometimes on repeat three times a day at my boring data entry job. It has saved me. I would inject it straight into my heart if I could.

Fontaines D.C. - In the modern world

This summer I curled up around a Guinness at a crowded bar in Galway. I had just made my way down from a friend's wedding in Donegal. I sat chatting and sipping with my girlfriend as a Fontaines D.C. song came on over the speaker. We sat and listened together. Taking the scene, setting, and sounds in. It felt like a romanticized version of what I had hoped for Ireland to be, of what I think a lot of Americans romanticize Ireland to be. Irish music playing loud, Guinness being sipped, wooden bars and paint chipped walls. I looked around to see the bartender singing along to herself.  It seems almost impossible not to contextualize Fontaines D.C. as an Irish band. I understand that art should be judged on its own, or whatever. But they’re an Irish band and that means something. It makes me think about James Joyce’s ‘Dubliners’, about Patrick Radden Keefe’s ‘Say Nothing’, about the solidarity Ireland shares with Palestine, about the lyrics to ‘In The Modern World’ in which Grian sings, “Seems so hard just to be” with noticeable anguish in his voice. A line that could sum up a lot of Irish history. A country simply trying to be. Irish artists have always found a way to speak directly to the human experience in a way that feels tender, tangible, and current. And Fontaines D.C. are no exception to this, especially on ‘Romance’, an album, filled with hope, angst, nostalgia, disillusion, love, and a modern, justified, sense of anger. But maybe I’m romanticizing things.    England Get Out of Ireland & Free Palestine

Dave & bustin’

my sister went to Dave & Busters more than once and mentioned it to me, and ever since I reference her crippling D&B addiction, how it’s ruining the family; I send her the google maps directions to the nearest Dave & Busters when she’s on vacaction… it’s been going strong for over five years now and I’ll never stop <3
