Enjoying the fine emo stylings You Blew It. New ep came, Pioneer of Nothing, came out at the end of January I think… Pitchfork got to it today.
The band is on tour, but nothing in the Pacific Northwest.
Go with yourself.

Back from an amazing weekend in Victoria. It was my birthday on Saturday. I turned 35! Huzzah!
The family and I went out for a nice brunch and then I took Madelyn to see Annie. Much singing.
Before getting into the season premier of Girls (I love it. I know, I’m the worst), my wife had the Golden Globes on. Oh my, I heard Family of the Year‘s “Hero” 8,000 times!
A couple years ago the band was in Victoria. They stopped by my radio show and recorded a couple acoustic songs for us. One of those songs? “Hero.”

When I see an article start with “emo sucks now but” I want to read it.
Floridian? band You Blew It! have a new record and a tour. Nice. Now Vancouver date (or even Seattle). Not Nice.
I have their 2014 record, Keep Doing What You’re Doing. Solid disc. I’m looking forward to hearing more new stuff from these guys.
Go with yourself.
I’m a sucker for this… You Blew It!

My minor obsession today…. Orlando’s You Blew It! The band is heavily hyped as modern emo revival. That all sounds peachy to me.
Pitchfork gave their new record, Keep Doing What You’re Doing a glowing review. Pitchfork’s Steven Hyden loved the first cut, “Match & Tinder.”
Now, I’ve played “Match & Tinder” many, many times, because it has an addictively chunky riff and pleasurably hyperactive drumming and therefore is an excellent example of sensitive-dude melodic punk rock. But I never notice the aforementioned vocab casseroles when I’m listening. Because “Match & Tinder” (and the entirety of Keep Doing What You’re Doing) really boils down to the last line, which is kind of brilliant: “I’m having trouble trying to find the right way to say I feel less than confident.”
Cool.
Here is another song, “Award of the Year Award.”
Reminds me of every band I listened to in 2002.
I had to buy the LP from Top Shelf Records… I just wish I was hipper than I am… the “coke bottle clear” is all sold out. Had to settle for translucent yellow.
Go with yourself.
