Sinead O'Connor: The Last day of our Acquaintance

Sinead O'Connor performing "The Last day of our Acquaintance" live.

The source for this video flashes a message from "Michelle;" i suppose she has a connection to the song...

everytime i hear this song i get goosebumps.

everytime i see her beat her chest for emphasis i swear i tear up.

Soulside: Name in Mind and Problems Faced While Travelling

Soulside is an older band that mutated into a number of other bands. 

They were on Dischord Records, a seminal hardcore/punk/emo label still in 

operation. Back before "Emo" was a household word,

back before the phrase "Screamo" had to exist to differentiate the genre, Dischord existed. As did Soulside.

"Name in Mind," the first song on this video, is my favorite song of theirs. The album version is cleaner and slower, but the energy of

a live set is great.

Hot Water Music: Floor

And another HWM live video from wayback.

This track is "Floor," also from Finding the Rhythms.

Hot Water Music: Eating the FIller

Hot Water Music playing "Eating the Filler," from their

first LP "Finding the Rhythms." This is a typical shitty 

live punk rock recording.

The people in attendance look less than enthusiastic, 

a far cry from what the band would enjoy later on.

Thursday: Understanding in a Car Crash

Thursday has always been a fantastic band. The album this comes from, "Full Collapse," is just great all around. 

They have many great albums; their best in my opinion is "Waiting."

Great lyrics, dynamic music, heartfelt vocals. One can't ask for more than that.

The Cure: A Forest

Another great song and video from the Cure.

Enjoy. i do.
