Pretend to be Fearless

Being severely apart from the Richmond music scene, I'm not up to date on any new emerging bands. Feeling super bummed on all of my over played music, I've taken matters into my own hands...

...I'm starting a band!... JK!

I came across Bitter End a few days ago and they blew me away. They are so pulled together and to the point, it's sick! Climate of Fear came out in 2007, so I'm a little behind on their hype. Right now their song I can't get enough of is Terrified Eyes.

Minutes:
-First minute, so simple, but so brutal, I will never understand how bands can but that together. Makes it so much more intense when it shows back up at 3:20-end.

There are some other fantastic songs on the album, sometimes they throw in a guitar solo that I don't agree with, but all in all, GOOD!

Times VIII

Passion Pit- "I've Got Your Number"

Minutes:
The WHOLE song (pretty much)
0:00- 0:39
2:02- 2:36 (chorus)

Thanks to the cutest boy, I've been introduced into a new genera of music- I love it! I'm wondering how I've gone so long without happy music filling every minute of the day.





Du hast mich lachend wieder.

Times VII

Kate Nash- "Mouthwash"

Minutes:
3:32-4:22



And this is my body
And no matter how you try and disable it
Yes I'll still be here

Times VI

I've started naming certain blog postings "Times #"
Each one of these posts contain a point in time in a certain song that I love.
(They will usually be breakdowns, since the majority of what I listen to is hardcore, but there is not much I can do about that.)

This is partially for me to remember, but partially for you, so you can understand me a little better.

'Cause, if you can't say it, say it through music, right?



Caustic Christ- "Destructive and Desperate"
Minutes:
1:28-1:48

Fact: Caustic Christ was the first punk show I went to. You're jealous.

Times V

So, I found a copy of Through Being Cool someone had burned me a while back.



Hooked.
Saves the Day- "Through Being Cool"
Minutes
0:50 - 1:15.
The upbeat harmonies make the words so much more bittersweet.

Times IV

Pulling Teeth- "Stonethrowers"

Okay, Pulling Teeth, i'm hooked...
Most impressive breakdown i've heard in a while.



Minutes:
0:30 - 0:54, seriously- so brutal.

Times III

Russian Circles- "Youngblood"

-Opening guitar riff
-Theme change at minute 2:53 & 3:15
-Drumming 4:02-4:34

This is how technical I get when listening to music.
Sometimes, I stop breathing if I'm paying too much attention.
I am currently starting a journal of all my favorite song times.

This is me.

Times II

Ambient Metal.

Pelican- "Far From Fields"
The bass riff at minute 2:43 gets me every time.

Times I

Minute 1:56 of Annihilation Time's song "Imaginary Mirror" makes my knees weak.



If it were in people form, it would be locked in my bedroom.
