Episode 24: The last six months have been busy. I’ve been on the run from zombies. I managed to find a double-barreled shotguns and ammo cache and have holed up in a building with an active wifi connection and microphone long enough to post a new episode.

Here’s the new music: starting with a track from Japanese rockers HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, followed by Swedish post-hardcore band Blindside, a band from Illinois called The Graduate, Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish, Minnesotan punk outfit Motion City Soundtrack, and closing things off is a band from Ohio called Relient K.

Where’s the emo you ask? In this episode I’m taking a brief diversion to fit in some indie music I’ve been wanting to play for a while as well as a classic tune from The Rolling Stones.

Songs Scream Sweet Secrets While Silent I Remain

walter — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 01:19:54 +0000

Episode 18: Halloween has been overlooked, but here are some songs I want to scream along to. When I’m wearing a fauxhawk, these are the songs that scream within me as I work, play, and travel through the day. The screaming isn’t all lyrical; no, the guitars join in. The guitars wail, holler, yell, and have much to say as well.

We’ve got Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Moneen, a track from Dinosaur Jr.’s latest album, Far-Less, punk newbies Four Year Strong, and a powerful track from Coheed & Cambria’s latest effort “No World for Tomorrow.”
