Any chance you could post more tracks of the Hated? I think all their records are out of print and I just realized they are alumni of my college and crave more

thanks for all these ‘buckets’; I already know and love most of these artists already but I hadn’t heard any Gauge before – member(s) were in Radio Flyer with Hoover’s Alex Dunham, made one of very favourite ‘emo’ records, In Their Strange White Armour. Really good.

As always, thanks for the plug. The manuscript is at the publisher now. Hopefully I’ll have a printed copy soon. Stay tuned!

being now 31 i grew up when “emo” wasn’t a bad word actually no onw know what it was …. saying that now you have forgot some of the best and first ….. #1 of all time of course SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE..THEN sensefield, texas is the reason, jimmy eat world (1st 2 albums) the get up kids(1st 2 albums, mineral, at the drive in, oh the list goes on with great “emo” bands. unfortunatly it’s now got a stigma attactched to it now all emo bands are just radio pussy bands. but in the begining wow! you don’t know what your missing, seriously.

This is the first time I comment on your blog and I’ve been following it for quite a while, more than 6 months actually. Anyway, I got here looking for Against Me!‘s New Wave songs in the Hype Machine, and I thank god for that.
Through your blog I got to know what emo is really like and I couldn’t agree more with you on this “…way before what teens, tweens, and over-protective parents today think of as emo, the term was shorthand for emotional hardcore. It was not a dirty word that referred to the lifestyle that gets so much negative press these days. It did not mean faux-depression, eyeliner, bad haircuts, and just plain ridiculousness.”
Thak you for reposting these songs.
Long Live Can You See the Sunset.
