An all-time classic given a fresh new feel with new guest vocals. I was not sure how I'd feel about this one but have found myself coming back to it all week. Love it. Powerful production, incredible songs -- just invigorating all around.

There's going to be an evening in the middle of November where this album just breaks me open.
"All In" is special.

A real end of summer treat this is. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
The end of August triggers within me a cycle of rebirth. Twenty-something-years of returning from the summer to begin a new school year is, for better and worse, imprinted on my soul.
The new Deftones album is the perfect soundtrack for this year's transformation. Bring on the fall. I'm ready.

There are summer albums and then there are summer albums. Jack's Mannequin's Everything in Transit, Yellowcard's Ocean Avenue. These are classics that demand BBQs, cold beer, and the sunniest of summer drives.
I also put Hellogoodbye's Would it Kill You? in this category. The kind of music that makes you feel summer.

128 kbps, god damn we're back!
Blink-182's One More Time... Part 2 has been grabbing me on this extremely hot summer week. This verse in "No Fun" speaks to forty-two-year-old-me.
Your plan was overrated and when you made it
'Cause you were young, you wouldn't know a damn thing
A marriage simulated, will get deflated
The friends you have will have a kid and never be seen
Your job is never good enough or cool enough
There's never passion in a deadly routine
Secretly I say it, yeah, I'll admit it
I kind of think that I just did the same thing

A take I’m test driving: Everybody Wants Some is The Sandlot for us grownups.
Loved it on first listen yesterday. Adored it on my run last night. And now, iced coffee in hand, sitting on the couch doing some Saturday morning computer errands, and it's hitting perfect.
The sign of one of those albums that sticks with me.

I’m seeing some weird slowness on the forum tonight but nothing looks out of the ordinary on the dashboards. I will be able to take a deeper look tomorrow if it continues, my apologies.
Update: This should now be fixed. A brief post mortem can be found here.
Everyone knows Enema of the State came out on June 1st, 1999. We've celebrated that anniversary for years. But what I forgot about until this year is that Pennywise released Straight Ahead on the exact same day.
Hold onto your promise, you can use it for a crutch
Pennywise - "Alien"
Stand by while all your dreams get trampled in the dust
Leave now before your slick machines begin to rust
Last chance farewell, among us

The first email I have from Dave Shapiro is from 2008, but I remember talking to him even earlier during his Count the Stars era. Few people shaped the music scene we grew up with as much as he did. Another reminder that no one is promised tomorrow.
R.I.P.
24 years ago? We sure that's right? I was a senior in high school when this dropped. I can picture myself pulling into that parking lot, windows down, blasting this one. I will die on the hill that I think "A Song for Everyone" is a perfect pop-punk song.
All that I have
FenixTX - "A Song for Everyone"
Twenty Six dollars and the keys to a Cadillac
All that I know
Drive all night go anywhere you wanna go

On May 21st, 2002, Box Car Racer released their one and only album. On that same day Something Corporate dropped Leaving Through the Window. I, for some reason, had forgotten until this year that they both came out on the same day. That's a damn good day of music right there.
This was the album I hit play on as we pulled away from the driveway in a rented van as I headed off to college. I don't know why I specifically remember that.
