Witches With Dicks - Manual



Another band with a hilarious name, Witches With Dicks is (was) an outstandingly fun punk band from Boston. I mean, they're still outstandingly fun and presumably still consider themselves Bostonians, but they are no longer a band. Thus the 'was'.

And people say i can't write!

Chinese Telephones - Chinese Telephones



Another great somewhat pop-ish punk band! There's so many. I'm sure i'm not the only person that likes this type of music. It doesn't matter, i make the rules in this intertube.

I hope it doesn't bother anyone that i frequently write posts and change the publish date so they are not at all in the same order i wrote them. Don't assume they display in chronological order of creation. It is just the way my mind works.

Otem Rellik - Carbon Based Boy



Otem Rellik makes hip-hop in his basement, recording and producing it all unassisted. I wouldn't have been able to tell if i hadn't read it, it is a very professional sounding album.

Lives in the same genre ballpark as Astronautalis and Sole.

In other news, i survived the second round of layoffs at my company, which makes me a happy fella. Job searches are a pain in the ass.

(Young) Pioneers - Free The (Young) Pioneers Now! (1998)



(Young) Pioneers, active from 1993-1999, more or less singlehandedly invented folk-punk as it stands today, being tremendously influential on such bands as This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Defiance, Ohio, and Against Me! (even having been namedropped in 'We Laugh at Danger (and Break All the Rules)').

1905 - Voice (2002)



1905 actually reminds me a lot of Evil Robot Us' (the 3rd post i ever made) in its dynamic male/female singing, quiet/loud playing way.

Oh happy new year/decade, friends i know and anonymous internet people i don't know. May it confuse you when you are writing the date for the next approximately 4 months.

The Steinways - Missed The Boat (2006)



It's actually been proven by ~*~science~*~ that it is impossible for anyone to dislike good pop-punk.
Particularly if you're from the suburbs and grew up in the 1990s.
Don't fight it, it's the closest thing to a culture we have.

Like The Ergs!, The Steinways make short, energetic, geeky pop-punk songs. Enjoy!

'cause i can't wait to go out tonight / and i can't wait to see you tonight
i just wanna make out tonight but you just wanna be friends
you just wanna be friends / oh you just wanna be friends
and that sucks
