tf presents: i love it all. (spring.2010)
It's technically 8 days early... but happy spring, peeps.
I wanna first give a shout out to my bff Manny who inspired me put these songs together. I stole the first two songs from one of his mixes, because they're basically perfect... but they're not meant to be taken too literally. I'm not mourning someone's death or anything quite so depressing, but we all know how much it sucks to lose something important to us. That's kind of the theme I had going in my winter mix, so I decided to keep it going and put together something of a sequel. You can let the story come to you, or just plain enjoy the songs if you wish, but either way I hope you like it.

Friday Flashback - Bayside
who: Bayside
why: one of my favorite bands of all time, I've been listening to this album a lot recently since I got their self-titled on reprinted vinyl in the mail the other day... soooooo good. Here's an acoustic performance of probably my favorite song from the record - "Montauk".

Thursday Night Fights - March 11, 2010
who: Coheed and Cambria
why: in anticipation for this year's prequel album 'Year of the Black Rainbow', I've decided to propose the question over which era of Coheed people prefer... I can't help but love Claudio Sanchez... the dude's hair has more charisma than you, but this whole "I can't decide what genre i'm in mix of metal riffs and mythologically epic vocals" thing is getting a little bit old. Anyone else miss old Coheed besides me?
"A Favor House Atlantic" - 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3' - 2003
VS.
"The Broken" - 'Year of the Black Rainbow' - 2010
WE'LL DO IT ACOUSTIC! - New Found Glory
who: New Found Glory
why: my last live video for the day... I promise? NFG take it back a ways and perform "Something I Call Personality". WHERE'S IAN?!
WE'LL DO IT LIVE! - Manchester Orchestra
who: Manchester Orchestra
why: because I've been going overkill on the live videos recently... and the latest addition is from Andy Hull and his boys' performance last night on Jimmy Kimmel. Every track on 'Mean Everything to Nothing' approaches perfection, but "In My Teeth" was one of the few I have yet to see live and I'm glad they hardened it a little for the performance. Any thoughts on the new drummer, or how cracked out the keyboardist always looks? I love everything about this band.
PS: who wants to go see them with me March 23rd at the Metro in Chicago?!
