Pop punk is generally a lot deeper than it seems. You get a few of the singles you see, some of the shallower acts on TV or hear on the radio ... Look at Blink 182, for example. If you listen to only the singles, you don't realize how deep they can get until like their new album comes out. I guess it's akin to judging Eisley only on Telescope Eyes. Pop punk is a crossover genre in the first place. It's a genre created by crossing over from pure punk. Which would entail being open to something new in the first place. It's just been so homogenized by MTV and radio of late, that it sees like a completely hopeless genre. I'll stop running my mouth now. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

yep. good point. we're at the Apple store rignt now near downtown. (75N...Nash? Henderson exit... McKinney street.) Anyway, trying to see about fixing the girl's ibook. Then we might go over to that in store at Good records at 6:30 - 7:00. Then, to see Maimou live at the tea room. ANYWAY... but, it's all Warp tour kind of music, right? I caught most of the warp tour that they televised recently... all the kids crowd surf and mosh. How can they be candidates for eisley? ... am I over-stereo-typing? I'm concerned there'll be hecklers... way worse than with Brand New. How diabolical - Snow Patrol - more similar, don't get eilsey, pop-punk - way different, but 'get it' more. hmmm.... _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

Personally I don't like the idea. Main reason being that the ticket prices would be higher. And I'm not really that big of a NFG fan. Heck, I'm not that much of a pop-punk fan. [RANT WARNING!] Now that I think about it, how could there be "pop-punk"? Maybe punk influenced pop-rockers. But not pop-punk rockers. simply put: Pop is joiner music. Punk is outsider music. pop+punk= oxymoron _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

I think they should tour with The Earlies. The Earlies are from Texas. OK, I kind of only want them to tour with The Earlies because I really like The Earlies. Um, The Earlies.  _________________ "A little less love, a little more common decency." - Kurt Vonnegut |

also taken from absolutepunk.net: "At nothinggoldcanstay.com, Ian of New Found Glory posted that no bands have been confirmed for any of their tour plans next year. So, do take all the rumors as...well, rumors." breathe easy. xoxo conor _________________ A POEM ABOUT LOVE AND HATE IN THE INFORMATION AGE by jonathon newby 10010111000101101001 10010010101010101001101010 1010010110LOVE101001001 100101011010010010101001 11010010100101010101010 0101100101HATE0101001010 01001010010101001010. |
