Re: frog queen, emo, and beer

I know this was a week ago, but I had to respond to stuff about one of my favourite artists.

That's about the first time I heard him, too. I heard the song on the poor old lu CD and SDRE's
first CD about the same time. I liked it, but didn't realize how much I loved that band until I got
the last CD about a year and a half ago.

It's not really a movement, really. Just some really great bands.

It's hard to put Jawbox or Fugazi that people put in this category into the same category as SDRE or
Mineral, who are so much more melodic (which I like a lot better). Those 1st two, bands like Burning
Airlines, Appleseed Cast, Brandtson, The Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids... but nothing compares to
SDRE or Mineral, imo. There's also some people that put the whole "mellow" thing in with this stuff.
Like Pedro the Lion, Damien Jurado, etc.

Yup.
