GHOSTDRONES Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 This thread put me on a huge Rainer Maria kick. jerseydave77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 it is ok, but imo a far cry from the best. that indian summer album is leaps and bounds ahead, i think. white birch ep by codeine is also a contender. White Birch is an album and isn't emo, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 White Birch is an album and isn't emo, haha. Indian Summer also had an EP and 3 splits in the studio; the only album that they released was a live album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Rainer Maria's "Look Now Look Again" is a contender. great record, but you are all incorrect. The Anniversary "Designing a Nervous Breakdown," is by far the greatest of the genre kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Listening to this for the first time. "Freckle" validates your point. It's pretty terrific. I'm on that Rainer Maria marathon still. To Ronnie - I have never heard The Anniversary album so I'll give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yourself a favor and look up the song "All Things Ordinary," you will not regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 On my fourth straight listen of RM "a better version of me". It's so much better than I remember. It was totally the victim of how special Look Now was in my life. They've been playing out again - I need to make a point of going. I always adored seeing them.

Cake passed around... coffee... portrait photos with band members during songs... Did you ever hear Caithlin's solo albums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grid_stopper Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Indian Summer also had an EP and 3 splits in the studio; the only album that they released was a live album. petty details, friends. codeine is oft considered slow core, but imo that is a bullshit/not real genre, so ive always considered codeine an emo band. honestly not that much of a stretch. also the indian summer album i was referring to was the compilation of the previously mentioned 3 splits. i guess none of this is really surprising though considering what bands are being brought up in the other emo thread lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 I went back to "Look Now Look Again" today. My Rainer Maria phase is over for now. This is an old friend of mines band. Listen all the way. It is brilliant. Heartbreaking. Beautiful. If you don't know Moonraker I say rip this and be a happier person for it (It is all OOP so ripping to me is alright) https://youtu.be/PM4i1vkCkeE (Note: I can't get it to post embedded. I suck.)

jerseydave77 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Since this thread might appreciate it. I just inherited two Antioch Arrow LPs, an Angelhair LP, and a DM3/Hope Springs Eternal/Moonraker split 7". Means a lot to hold these but man the packaging alone is art. I love how these labels and bands wanted people to know they touched literally every record they sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I've been jamming these Antioch Arrow lps and reliving my College Years a bit the last couple of days. They are so damn good.

Even beyond The Anniversary, Josh Berwanger's career is a fuckin force to be reckoned with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
