You And Me And The Beautiful Aerial View Of Sunset City
In an attempt to connect the proverbial dots - all the things I have mentioned in past entries - I will be posting a new music selection weekly. These posts will only be available to followers of MMLI (gasp). So, I figured we'd start this off the future weeks with a bang:
Braid
Frame & Canvas
Released: 1998
Label: Polyvinyl
Wow, Braid. What to say...? Founded 1993 in Champaign, Illinois. Something I like to call "emo" - the musical energy brought forth by bands such as Rites Of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate, NOT the mass-produced glamourization of shaggy haircuts, eyeliner on boys, and Gerard Way. Braid is considered to be one of the most influential acts of their time - a fantastic bridge between the hardcore foundations of Dischord Records (most famously Fugazi) and bands with deeper pop roots such as Jimmy Eat World. If I haven't already convinced you that you have to listen to this, would the fact that Alternative Press hailed "Frame & Canvas" as the #10 emo album of all time help? Check it.
