I don't know if anyone is coming close to my start so far, tbh...

Jawbreaker
Sunny Day Real Estate
Jimmy Eat World

Absolutely crushing this.

I missed that you picked Jawbreaker. You know what’s weirder personally? It Is that not only did the punks love them in the ‘90s and I loved punk then, but also that they had an emo revival in the aughts and I loved emo but never got into them either time.

I have listened to more Jets To Brazil than Jawbreaker during my time on earth. I’d have figured that would be different somehow.

I think at the time the Jawbreaker album I picked from was the "sell out" album but then all the emo bands that came after talked about how much they love it and it got a lot more love later on than it did at the time.

I may be limiting myself a little bit geographically here but hopefully with some genre blurring and moving into more recent stuff, it won't be too bad

I sent ilove80s the song but he probably couldn't read it given the shutting formatting on messages.

Yeah sorry I just looked at the bottom list with the players because the formatting on the first post looked like it was thrown into a blender.

Both are from Philly. I almost did "She's Gone" by Hall and Oates for Pip but I rested assured that he'd heard the song before and I wouldn't be turning him on to it.

Among the many reasons I have suffered a difficult year or two in this league would be doing things like making picks in bed while debating Ozempic and IDP scoring for cornerbacks and forgetting your own league has switched to six-point passing touchdowns.

If you thought you heard angry screaming turning into muffled disgust coming from Inland Empire, CA, you most certainly did.

JFC FML LOL :homer:

No. I left it in San Francisco so I can’t feel it seize at all. Probably needs oil. Got my favorite Philly band a whirl, so it’s not all lost,

I shouldn't have replied in that thread. So many notifications now for a quick hit post.

Sorry bout that. You did accelerate what they wanted to get at. I figured I’d finish it, but now your alerts are probably going haywire after I sort of stopped it for a bit.

Have you seen the David Lynch film of the same name? I didn't understand it at all.

I’ve heard of it. But for some reason it was just the other month. Lynch has never really spoken to me because the surreal is personal and I don’t know that our understanding of life gives us a similar enough baseline from which to depart and then meet. I did watch Mulholland Drive and will never forget Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet but I think that’s a function of Hopper and Watts more than getting Lynch. I actually can guess what I’d think of his worldview were he dead and straightforward or if he were alive and only reasonably oblique.

Inland Empire is very hot and with little water to speak of. It is at a remove from Hollywood, but helps serve as its distant middle class but often expensive suburbs. Those suburbs are easy prey for the more class-conscious East Coast transplants that see class structures everywhere (Californians only see gold and other status markers that differ greatly from Groton and things like that). Joan Didion did not like them. It can be barren and hot. I’ll be on my daily walk and see cactus and tumbleweed and vultures and I only half-joke about the vultures. It would be interesting to see what Lynch did with his idea of it. I say it not with pride but to distinguish it from the plasticity of LA and to not give the impression that I live in So Cal’s real crown jewel of San Diego.
