hey... don't laugh at the sad emo girl!  the first time i heard Dashboard was in '00, my friend had their old EPs and i listened to those nonstop. then in '01 i was hooked on the 'Welcome To The Family' compilation CD from Drive Thru records which has my favorite emo song of all time, Something Corporate's 'Konstantine'... i still remember the first time i ever heard it, it made me cry!
see i wasn't "emo" in the sense that i wore thick-rimmed glasses and wrote sad poems and wore eyeliner and posted "artistic" black & white photos on myspace or livejournal... i was emo in the sense that i sat around being sad while listening to sad music. the whole emo fad nowadays just seems like something people do to be cool or fit in with a group, and it doesn't really seem to be about emotions.
when i moved to Milwaukee in '02 i left my emo past in NY and took on a new obsession with a music genre that evoked more positive emotions... ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC.
so yea, i guess you could say it was a pretty intense jump... goin from Dashboard to Ferry C, lol. 
edit // just remembered another one of my favorite emo CDs: Juliana Theory 'Emotion Is Dead'... "You Always Say Goodnight, Goodnight" was another 'Konstantine'-esque song for me. |
oh jesus it scares me how much i can relate to this post...
right down to "konstantine" 
i saw dashboard in concert too... pretty tight!
and yea emo girls are relatively easy lol
-will!
