Um, So I think my Three the Hard Way series fizzled out last week sometime when I was super busy at work..

SO I figured I would end it with my 6 top “Emo” songs.. like I said before, I don’t really think any of these bands would consider themselves emo. And I don’t know if they fit into the genre but it doesn’t matter. here are my 6:

Capn Jazz - Planet Shhh

Boys Life - Fire Engine Red

Garden Variety - New Guitar Parts

Spanakorzo - Pleasure Test

Hoover - Cable

Engine Down - Slingshot

And youll notice that I am cleaning out most of the songs from this series cause I am planning a new ABC’s series.. so get these while you can.

Also, some bands from this era worth checking out: Braid, Mineral, Christie Front Drive, the Farewell Bend, Still Life, Sleepytime Trio, Frodus, early Cursive, Vitrous Humor, the whole early Jade Tree catalog, the whole Crank! catalog, every band on Tree records, early Dischord, etc..

THanks to everyone who contributed to the series. BUY ANY OF THESE HERE.

Benjamin takes a swing at Three the Hard way, Michigan Style. See some prime cuts below.

Further Seems Farther - Monechetti

the Get Up Kids - Anne Arbour

Recess Theory - Oh Dateless Morn’

Damn this is a good series. I am having more and more fun with this. Thumbs up for Ben? Ben is more a sensitive Emo kind of guy. I would have put up something from 4 minute mile but that’s just me.

I have been talking to Wes about doing a few posts about some 90’s indie rock (read: Emo) bands… Wes had sent me 3 songs that he loves and I figured, why not just post them up.. Maybe I will have some of my friends send me 3 songs that fit into this commonly miscategorized genre..

.So here are three older indie rock songs that Wes is into..

Sean Na Na - ChaChaCha

Piebald - Fat and Skinny Asses

Chisel - Looking Down at the Great Wall of China from Way up High in the Sky

Anyone else interested in contributing??
