I have another d/l-able song for you people to look into. It's by Matt Skiba (lead singer of Alkaline Trio.) He did a solo project and came out with some great stuff. My recommendation is either "Good Fucking Bye" or "In Your Wake." It's great stuff, it's him, an acoustic, and drums. He was Dashboard Confessional before Chris Carrabba broke off from FSF. So get one of those two songs, they're amazing. Be open minded and you'll love them, I promise.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Does anyone ever d/l the Alakine Trio or Matt Skiba stuff I say to? I mean, I am trying to get word about them out, and I don't think a single soul ever downloads the music. I guess I'll never have to worry about ALK3 getting popular because no one listens to my requests....

I downloaded Alkaline Trio. At first, i really didn't like them, but now i find myself beginning to love them. I downloaded some Matt Skiba songs, but i don't really like them, but that can always change.

I dl'ed 'Fuck You Aurora' a while ago, good stuff I must say, they're good live. I don't know about them being mainstream popular, but they're pretty big around here anyway.

At least one guy here listens. And what a surprise, he's from Michigan. I guess all the open-minded smart people live there. :mrgreen:

Whoah, Alkaline Trio is big? Where have I been? I guess I completely missed the boat....lol....anyways, they have the ability to go mainstream. Matt Skiba actually sobered up, and their videos get played on MTV2 and VH1 when they're messed up. So I can't wait to hear what his sober stuff sounds like. I know I won't have anymore drinking songs, but their stuff is bound to sound even better than before.

Oh my bad, I meant that they were big like, among all of my friends, who are mostly into that kind of music, so I've heard a lot about them from a lot of people here. Not big as in radio play or anything.

Yeah, I will never hear Alkaline Trio on the radio. I heard Bad Religion on the radio twice this year, which is shocking to me. So yeah, people, d/l Alkaline Trio stuff....

My fave right now is Revolt III by Kent(from the Swedish version of Hagnesta Hill) but that's really hard cuz I am listening to a lot of music these days.My second would have to be Interstate Love Song by Stp.
