Happy New Year, everyone. I have been pretty busy, and today is my half-birthday. All is well.
I guess Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band get my utmost endorsement, because they are deceivingly tight, and their riffs are awesome.
By the way, I don't know if you know this about me already, but even if you do, it's worth putting into print. I simply abhor all "screamo." It's just offensive. Even if people who played screamo didn't take it seriously, it would still be a foul-sounding joke. This especially concerns all screamo bands that feature one "singer" and one "screamer," because that pretty much means that each of those members are worth only half that of someone like Fred Durst, which, of course, doesn't say much.
The notion that any screamo outfit is unique in any way is laughable, because it is not true. In fact, quite the opposite is true. I apologize to the original purveyors of this genre, because sadly, your disciples have turned your vision into truly horrible, unoriginal music.
If you are reading this and you are in a screamo band, 1) how is high school going? [okay/sucks/in college (if in college, refer to number 2)]
2) How's Nassau? [sucks/terrible]
