Macklemore's "Thrift Shop" made Amanda Wilde's list. Here the Seattle artist performs at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington.
Washington state is on the edge – the geographical edge of the continental United States and the cutting edge of music.
Throughout its history, Washington's remote location and raw materials have inspired innovation and experimentation in both industry and music, with Northwest bands driven by DIY sensibilities and a healthy rebellion against convention. Grassroots forces formed whole styles and whole scenes here, and homegrown sounds continue to echo throughout our state.
Here's my chronological list of 10 songs that are musical touchstones for Washington state. These songs also represent music styles that incubated in Washington and ultimately resounded worldwide.
It was in the unique acoustics of Spokane's Clemmer Theater that Bing Crosby developed his trademark singing style. His phenomenal success as a vocalist led to his ultimate rise as the world's first multimedia star. He recorded "Black Ball Ferry Line" in 1951, namechecking his home state's famous ferries.
Out of Washington's thriving 1950s country music scene arose guitarist and vocalist Bonnie Guitar — the Northwest's first country music star. Her crossover 1957 single "Dark Moon" was her first national hit. Bonnie currently lives in Soap Lake, Washington, is in her 90s, and reportedly still plays out occasionally.
Northwest anthem "Louie Louie" started as a calypso-doo wop song by Louisiana native Richard Berry, who first recorded it in 1957. When Berry toured the Northwest, The Wailers picked up the song, and their version became a local favorite. The rough garage rock sounds of The Wailers, The Frantics and The Sonics had a great impact on the development of grunge.
Instrumental band The Ventures popularized the surf sound. The Tacoma group still performs today, over a half-century after recording the classic "Walk, Don't Run," one of those songs you know even if you don't think you do.
Seattle's Jimi Hendrix is known today as the greatest rock guitarist not only of his generation, but … ever. His rock-and-roll classroom was The Spanish Castle, a club on Highway 99 between Tacoma and Seattle. The club's roster included some of the great acts in the early days of rock and roll, including the guitar and organ-driven sounds of Northwest bands The Sonics, The Wailers and the Dave Lewis Trio. After Hendrix saw so many amazing shows there, what a thrill it must have been when he eventually entered the Spanish Castle as a performer. Hendrix recorded "Spanish Castle Magic" in 1967, just a few months before the club was demolished.
Say what? There was a time in the early '70s when, in the unlikely location of Tukwila, a thriving scene flourished in the lounge of The DoubleTree Inn, with the Overton Berry Trio at its nexus. The electricity of their jazz-infused blend of traditional, swing and pop music was a magnet for an audience living outside the city limits. Overton wowed audiences with his keyboard improvisations on "Hey Jude." The trio's cover became a signature song of the Northwest's funk and soul scene and an underground favorite of DJs worldwide.
Washington's hip-hop scene began to emerge in the 1980s with Sir Mix-a-Lot. His first hit was the 1988 single "Posse on Broadway," which takes a lyrical cruise through south Seattle on the way to Capitol Hill's main drag.
By the time Nirvana catapulted to national stardom in 1991, the local music scene was heady with the underground sound of what became known as grunge. Nirvana's local breakthrough was their 1988 cover of "Love Buzz," a song that incorporated just enough pop sensibility to make the band's hard-core dynamics accessible.
Capturing the bleakness of the long Northwest winters, mountain-echo flannel quintet Fleet Foxes play self-described "baroque harmonic pop jams." Their beardy folk pop aesthetic and minimalist style stood out in contrast to the glossy production values of mainstream music, and they rose to prominence both in spite of — and because of — that style.
Washington native Macklemore broke records with his 2012 single "Thrift Shop," a tribute to Seattle's secondhand stores and a social commentary on bling. As the only independent artist in the 21st century to score a hit on the Billboard Top 100, Macklemore points the way to new directions and distribution models for music.
There are a zillion artists who might make this list.
Like Helen Louise Greenus, a Capitol Hill native and an extremely accomplished Hawaiian guitarist, famously performing alongside Palakiko "Frank Ferera" Ferreira, the first Hawaiian music star in the 19-teens.
Vic Meyers was a Seattle jazz bandleader as well as lieutenant governor and secretary of state of Washington. "Shake It And Break It" by Vic Meyers' Hotel Butler Orchestra has been identified as the first commercial recording ever made in Washington, in 1923.
Experimental pioneer John Cage created some of his most resounding work while in residence at Seattle's Cornish School during the pivotal years 1938 through 1940. Seattle entertainer Ruby Bishop is still playing piano bar for Seattle audiences in her 90s. These artists and so many more are integral to the tapestry of Washington music.
The list spans a wide swath of the history of recorded music.
All the artists on the list are Washington natives.
All of the songs on the list speak directly to a distinct aesthetic of Washington state.
All of the songs have a very far lasting reach. There's a reason they were hits and still resonate today.
Remember, its songs, not bands!
When it comes to music, everyone has an opinion. So let's hear from you! What are your top 10 songs that show the history of Washington state? Go to our post on the KUOW Facebook page, then name your tunes, and please include a sentence about why they made your list.

The world of trading has many parts that seem a little foreign to new traders and the trading language is certainly one of them. There are plenty of catch phrases, symbols, and other banter that can be confusing or even intimidating at first. One of the biggest sources of confusion includes the shorthand that you see for many markets. Understanding what you are reading is important, and learning the basic lingo can come in handy.
All futures contracts (be it for commodities or financial instruments) have very specific parts, quantities, and dates associated with them – and that's not even considering the price! Not all contracts are created equal. The value of the S&P 500 contract is five times the value of the e-mini S&P 500 contract. It is extremely important not to confuse these two symbols! If there are markets you want to trade, visit the exchange's website and learn about the key parts for each contract, hence the trading language.
•	Trading symbols for the contract.
Memorizing all of the trading language might seem like a bit of overkill, but in modern electronic markets making a mistake can happen in seconds and cost an unlimited amount of loss and confusion. Just remember that "fat finger" trade and the trouble it caused!
The symbol for this market is ES. You can use this code to find price quotes on many tickers.
The contract size is $50 x the e-mini S&P 500 futures price. You can use this value to calculate the dollar risk/gain per point in the market. Basically, if each point is worth $50, a 3 point movement would be $150. If you want to calculate the total dollar value of a single contract, you just need to multiply the current price by $50. If the market is trading at 1,280.00 that means it is worth 1280 x $50 = $64,000.
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.25. That means that if you are making an offer or trying to quote a price, you will know that there are quarter point increments so you can't offer a price like 1265.30 in this market. It would have to be 1265.25 or 1265.50.
Each contract will expire at some point, and that date is relative to the contract month.
If you can understand the trade talk, you can avoid costly mistakes!
Some of this might seem very simple; after all, a lot of trading programs will give you the information with a single keystroke so you don't have to memorize all the trading language. The reason that it is still relevant to know this is because taking the time to learn and understand how the markets work and what the lingo means can save you potential trouble.
For Example:- What would happen if you are long ESU11 and you try to close the position by selling ESZ11? This is not possible – you would know that the ES U11 is the e-mini S&P 500 for September (U) 2011 and the ES Z11 is the e-mini S&P 500 for December (Z) 2011.

Bayou Dental Group: More room for smiles
Bob Lenox
rlenox@thenewsstar.com
At a time when most would be content to set their career on cruise control, Dr. David Finley is accelerating ahead.
After 25 years in his Garden District location, Finley opened the doors to Bayou Dental Group's expanded, new state-of-the-art office on Tower Drive in December. "In the last two years, we've grown over 54 percent," he said, leading to the decision to build the $2.9 million custom-designed facility.
A spacious reception area leads to 11 operatories to accommodate any number of procedures. Digital X-rays, laser dentistry equipment and a machine capable of creating a crown in one day are just a few examples of the advanced technology housed at Bayou Dental Group.
The new setting of Finley's practice is another step in the process to learn and grow. A graduate of Neville and ULM, Finley went on to earn his doctorate from LSU Dental School.
A leased space in Pecanland Mall was where the dentist first opened his practice in 1985. Bustling mall traffic allowed him to welcome walk-ins and participate in volunteer efforts to help build relationships.

In 1990, Finley moved his practice to a large antebellum home on North Third Street. The North Third location contained five operatories and allowed for some renovation, but with decades of growth and expanding services, Finley and his wife and business partner, Valerie, invested in building the new facility.
It was around 2000 that marked a time of professional growth for Finley. "I was looking to find my identity in dentistry," he said. A professional associate talked to him about the increasing interest in cosmetic dentistry.
Instead of staying tied to traditional services, he focused on this new trend. "Going through cosmetics was something I did for my heart. Learning everything about general dentistry was something I did for my patients."
And the intricate work of cosmetics is something he truly enjoys. "It's fun. It's changing someone's life. Plus, I get more hugs from cosmetic dentistry than I do from root canals."
The dentist went through an accreditation process to become board certified. He remained engaged in cosmetics and pursued a fellowship, a higher level of accreditation. Finley was honored as the 61st Accredited Fellow in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
The son of two educators, Finley has an innate capacity to learn different specialties of the dental profession. "I've spent thousands of hours in continuing education to stay on the cusp of technology and what the new things are," he said.
Finley is also one of only 30 dentists in the United States who is certified in laser dentistry, a Fellow in the International Academy of Facial Esthetics and a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry.
His commitment to his profession was recognized in being named the Scott Awards winner of the Spirit of Excellence Judges Award.
Finley credits his family and a love of patients that motivate him in his work. He said patients have asked him why they need to go to any number of specialists for dental services. His answer has been through education and taking classes and learning more aspects of dentistry.
With the range of services, the new dental office helps accommodate those needs and hopes of expansion.
Bayou Dental has 12 employees, including two hygienists, two hygienist assistants, three doctor assistants and five front office staff. Finley said he would like to eventually bring on three or four more doctors, and there is already office space in the new building to allow for a growing staff.
The dentist continually balances his career with community involvement. He and his wife have supported several organizations including the YMCA, the Cancer Foundation League and Quest School. Finley has also coached numerous youth sports teams in Monroe.
Even after easing into the new office, Finley shows no sign of slowing down. He's currently working on a fellowship in dental implants. "Dentistry is a never-ending discovery of new things," he said.

The hostel and the host are really great! Everything is handy and the decor, with the small garden and wooden showers, is really lovely. The only thing is that the wash basins are just by the rooms and people were speaking quite loudly late in the evening and early in the morning so it was a bit annoying. Overall, the rest was great!
Cheap hostel suited our budget, neat and tidy but aged. Good friendly staff.

Manchester United has dismissed Jose Mourinho, the third manager they have sacked since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement. A club that once espoused the merits of stability has become the most rudderless team in Europe. In result, where does the most successful club of the Premier League era go from here?
There is plenty of blame to go around for United's decline, but some of the causes go back even decades. Many fans trace the club's problems back to the Glazer family's leverage buyout back in 2005. The protests have run over the Glazer's running of the club, and has seen the US owners take fortunes out of the club and spend enormous amounts of money servicing the debt they created.
Sir Alex Ferguson always staunchly defended the Glazer family, pointing out they funded the new training complex and always stumped up the money for transfers. Would Ferguson have asked for more were the club not in private ownership? United was at the zenith of their power in 2011, coming off a 3rd Premier League title and 3rd Champions League final in 4 years.
The root of the first team problems began that summer. Ferguson, as he'd done many times before, saw the need to rebuild an ageing defence. He was on the money in bringing in David De Gea, but got it wrong with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.
Ferguson also dispensed with Dimitar Berbatov, convinced young striker Javier Hernandez was the long-term answer. However, Hernandez's best season in Manchester was that first 2010-11 season. A year later, perhaps unnerved by Manchester City winning their first title at his expense, Ferguson bought Robin Van Persie.
The Dutchman was an instant hit, but at 29 was not the long-term solution. Van Persie's goals guided United to their 13th Premier League title in 2013 and the Footballer of the Year Award, but never looked like repeating this feats beyond that season. When Ferguson rode off into the sunset that summer, he left the club as Champions, but with a team dependent on veterans Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Scholes (who left with Ferguson), Giggs and Van Persie. Sir Alex then picked his successor, and that was when the trouble really began.
David Moyes was seen by most as an odd choice a mid-table manager with little knowledge of managing a team with title ambitions. Matters were made more difficult by the loss of CEO David Gill, who was replaced by Ed Woodward. With the team ageing, Moyes identified Cesc Fabregas as a replacement for the retired Scholes. When Woodward couldn't deliver, they bought Marouane Fellaini, a player quickly derided as not United quality.
Failing to get Fabregas was on Woodward, but not changing the ageing defence and forward line while still on top was all on Moyes. An early season thrashing at City was a taste of things to come, and United's veterans appeared to burn out quickly. Moyes identified Juan Mata in the January transfer window, but had no idea how to deploy him. By the time of Moyes' sacking that spring, United was on course to finish seventh in the League, having never finished outside the top three in the Premier League era.
Next came Louis Van Gaal, who unlike Moyes, was big enough for the job. While Moyes was too slow to make changes, Van Gaal was too fast. He dispensed with Evra and Hernandez, both of whom went on to stellar seasons elsewhere. Star signings in Angel Di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Memphis Depay were all disasters. Van Goal followed Ferguson's doctrine of promoting from the youth team with Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford as the standouts.
After a first season of progress that saw the club regain Champions League status, the second was expected to deliver the title. However, United began to flatline, and the progress became painfully slow. Then came the announcement the club dreaded, as Pep Guardiola joined City the next summer. It seemed Woodward panicked, knowing City had Pep meant United must replace Van Goal with the biggest name possible: Jose Mourinho.
Much like Van Gaal and Moyes, Mourinho's brand of defensive football never became a match for United. The first season was predictably techy, but the signing of Zlatan covered over the cracks, and two major trophies followed.
In Mourinho's second season, things started well, but City went into overdrive while United finished a distant second. Although they made the FA Cup final, Mourinho was under pressure. This past summer saw Woodward fail to back Mourinho, who wanted to sign another central defender.
The season has seen Mourinho constantly at odds with his players, the board and the press. The results have been awful, with United easily beaten by Liverpool, City and Tottenham. Even the likes of Crystal Palace and Southampton proved too tough for United to break down.
United will appoint an interim boss and then look for a long-term replacement in the summer. The first priority has to be to patch up an unhappy dressing room. It is easier to list the players Mourinho didn't fall out than those he did.
In addition, speeding up United's play is another major task. Paul Pogba's awful season needs to be addressed. The club has other performers who have disappointing, most notably Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku.
Disharmony in the dressing room has been matched only by apathy in the boardroom. The club has desperately lacked a Sporting Director. Instead, five years of transfer policy have been conducted by three different managers. Predictably, the signings have been scatter-gun with no discernible strategy in place, and the results have been very mixed.
The club needs to think far more carefully about who they eventually appoint as manager In terms of footballing philosophy and how they will fit in the club structure. United will not compete for the title, or even the top four this season. Right now this a club in need of long-term planning and some short-term harmony, neither of which looked attainable under Mourinho.

Boston Globe: Facing Economic Disaster, R.I. Lawmakers Have Tough Decisions As They Return To Work
Long before the deadly coronavirus left thousands of Rhode Island residents ill and completely paralyzed the state's economy in the process, legislative leaders were already predicting a difficult budget year. Back in January, the state was facing a $200 million shortfall for the fiscal year that begins July 1, and House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello and Senate President Dominick Ruggerio made it clear that they were unlikely to approve new spending. Yet they outright rebuffed one of Governor Gina Raimondo's signature revenue-generating proposals: the legalization and taxing of marijuana. (McGowan, 4/22)

5 Reasons To Buy An Electric Car In 2020
Electric cars have been at the forefront of the automotive landscape for some time now. While most people still buy cars with conventional powerplants onboard, the reasons for sticking with the old are fading. We've settled into a new year but mark these words: The electric car industry will never grow faster than it is about to over the course of this decade. So we're giving you five reasons why you should buy an electric car.
1. More Electric Cars Options
Infrastructure is booming and more models than ever are on the market. Both are equally important, but while the infrastructure has continued to grow, the cars available have shifted. We now have a dedicated performance car in the Porsche Taycan and a gran touring convertible in the new Tesla Roadster.
The cars that will make the biggest splash won't be shredding tires though. The Tesla Y, Kia Soul EV, and Volvo XC40 are going to be the hot sellers. In a world in which people have made it very clear that they want crossovers and compact SUV's, the automotive industry has been too busy offering them luxury sedans and speed machines.
Finally, the market will provide the people what they want, and they can still get a $7500 tax credit if the car isn't from Tesla or GM.
2. Save Money With EV Tax Credits
Tax credits aren't the only way to save money. Charging is much, much cheaper than filling up on gas or diesel. There are no oil changes. There are no spark plugs or intake filters to replace. There is no engine to sip on coolant.
3. Affordable Electric Range
Range is also up. Long gone are the days of expensive cars that only yield 150 miles on a charge. No offense, but those were just engineering experiments that some people were fools to buy.
2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
Today, there are more affordable cars putting out much greater value, such as the Chevrolet Bolt which can take you 259 miles on a single charge. If you've used that all up in a day, you should be taking a 30-minute break anyway, so charging shouldn't be an issue.
4. Even More Affordable Electric Driving Range
If you're not in the market for a brand-new car, there's good news. The used market is plentiful and affordable. You can grab a Nissan Leaf off lease for under $15,000 right now. Manufacturer warranties on the batteries are a minimum of 8 years, so buying second hand shouldn't concern you about the future.
5. The Experience Of Driving An Electric Car
While you could grow your own diesel fuel, most people are far more comfortable supplying their own resource for transportation in the form of solar power. Not only do you get to avoid the gas pump, you get to avoid the weekly bills that go along with that. It's also better for the environment.
Some people criticize the source of the electricity, which is fair. That being said, a full-scale power plant converts resources into power more efficiently than a car engine. Thus, even if the source of the electricity is diesel, an electric car still gets more out of the diesel than a diesel-powered car.
My personal favorite aspect of an electric car, is the ability to drive in the HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lane solo. As someone who lives on Long Island, commuting westbound on the Long Island Expressway is as bad as stop-go traffic can get. Being in an electric car comes with a pass to cruise past all of that traffic with the carpool vehicles. If the phrase, time is money, means anything to you, then that might just be the best savings of them all.

St. Kitts Marriott GM expresses condolences to Kishorna's family
In a brief statement, Hamou said, "We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our beloved associate, Ms. Kishorna Challenger. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this time of loss. She will be missed by her many colleagues at the Royal St Kitts Golf Club where Ms. Challenger had been employed since 2009. The authorities are conducting an investigation, and we are cooperating fully with them as they look into the matter. Any enquiries or questions should be directed to the Police Authorities. As this is an ongoing investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
Twenty-eight-year-old Kishorna was reported missing Monday when colleagues did not see her for some time. She was last seen driving a lawnmower near one of the ponds, and by 9 a.m., she was reported missing. Later in the day, the lawnmower was found in one of the ponds and was recovered by Police. However, an extended search failed to find the young woman until early evening.
Divers from the St. Kitts-Nevis Coast Guard, Kenneth Dive Center and Marine Assist International of Canada searched the pond for several hours, but it was Kenrick David of Prickley Pear Alley, who frequently retrieves golf balls from the murky pond, who joined the search and discovered the body of Kishorna, at about 6:23 p.m., Monday, a police release revealed.
Police are now conducting an investigation into the circumstances that led to her demise, said Police Inspector Lyndon David.

Circle Takes the Square
As the Roots Undo
by Iluvatar EMERITUS
November 13th, 2007 | 7614 replies
Review Summary: It's almost worth the mounds of hyperbolic claims it receives.
Circle Takes the Square is an atypical emo band hailing from Georgia. Combining City of Caterpillar and Envy emo/post rock with more thrash/metal aspects, Circle Takes the Square built upon the ideas of their pretentious predecessors and became the pretentious band of note in the emo scene. Their debut EP and split with Pg. 99 showed a more straightforward version of what was to come, with a more punk-ish feel and less dynamic songwriting. I wasn't around for its release, but if I had been, I am absolutely sure that As the Roots Undo would have totally blown me away, as it has since the first time I heard it.
Much is made out of Circle Takes the Square and their "technicality", especially Drew Speziale's guitar work. For the most part, the reputation is earned if perhaps a bit exaggerated; the guitar riffs take a lot of influence from thrash, while the drumming is at times heavily grind based. The bass on the album is normally buried due to the production of the album (which everywhere else is absolutely fantastic), but is excellent in the quiet interludes CTTS often throws into songs. The complexity to be found in the music is most often with the songwriting itself, which is the driving force behind all the madness.
Circle Takes the Square has more in common with a band like the Blood Brothers than you may realize- both are incredibly dependent on the vocal interplay and lyrics of their two singers and rely on precise timing in their songs to hit you effectively. The albums dynamics are pretty obvious, they hit you with a frenzied verse, follow it up with a small melodic section, slowly build that up back into chaotic verse, then perhaps an anthemic chorus, all the whilst filled with hooks and live sing-a-long material. Besides "Kill the Switch" this formula generally works incredibly well due to the fact Drew and Kathy know exactly when to switch things up.
As great as the timing of As the Roots Undo is, and as much as it makes the album that much more musically diverse, the true strength of the album falls upon Drew and Kathy's vocal performances. The music could survive without them and still be fantastic, but what really draws you in is the passion and creativity in the singing department. While I may have mentioned a Blood Brothers comparison earlier, its pretty much skin deep as Drew and Kathy rely more on harmonization and quick trade-offs. As overstated as it may be, their singing on the album is phenomenal if you look past the fact that they don't have the prettiest voices in the world. Its filled with passion, but instead of becoming shrieky or falling into unintelligible screaming ala many of their contemporaries, Drew and Kathy remain totally recognizable throughout all of the shouting, screaming, voice cracks (!), and even when Drew's voice becomes shaky when he has to sing clean for extended periods of time it holds a certain feeling lacking in a lot of singers in modern emo. Combine that with the fact they have excellent vocal melodies and patterns, and its undeniably the strength of the record.
All the parts are here for a perfect record, but all that would be for naught if all of it combined made a static product. At the Roots Undo has succeeded so much due to how emotionally impacting it is. Emo at its core is about an emotional release within the chaos, and every last song here contains numerous moments which blow you away in that regard. Whether it's the instrumental buildups in songs like "Non-Objective Portrait of Karma" and "A Crater to Cough In" which slowly build through 4 minutes or 5 minutes until it finally explodes, or "In the Nervous Light of Sunday" which starts off as intense as the two songs that proceed it but ends up reaching a climax which revolves around the clean singing of "An eternal patch on a quilt that hangs from a wall in a throw fraught with our decay…" and the scream of "All I ever asked was for a clean break".
Despite being the second to last song, As the Roots Undo culminates with the song "Kill the Switch". Combining every aspect that makes this album so impacting, "Kill the Switch" begins with arguably the heaviest section of the entire album, and rarely lets up from there. Each lyric, each new guitar riff, each strange little quirk here make this song something special. There are moments where for a split second things drop out and the only sound is a deep exhale, there is the famous (at least around here) "Open up"-"Knock Knock Knock" exchange, and the central climax of the entire album "I know its all been done before/I wanna do it again, I wanna do it again". The song is totally a mess, the parts often make little sense when thrown together and the transitions are non-existent at times, but "Kill the Switch" embodies the best the album has to offer.
The overarching concept throughout As the Roots Undo is a journey of self discovery, Drew paints that beautifully with his lyrics throughout the album. Wild metaphors and imagery, imaginative rhyme, and a sense that this is almost true literature really bring the final touch to an album that is arguably the most accessible emo album to ever be recorded. It can be grueling and exhausting at times to sit through, and after you listen to it a hundred times you may get sick of it. In the end though, As the Roots Undo is an incredibly ambitious effort that exceeds all expectations and truly lives up to the effort that was put into it.

That was really creative of you to include that intro!
Intransit
Blood Brother paragraph is sorta unnecessary (regardless of the fact that I think it's criminal to mention the two bands in the same sentence) and the intro is sorta who cares but good overall.
Album slays. Non-Objective is fucking absolute sex live.
iarescientists
the intro is sorta who cares but good overkill.
That intro should be in every review.
You just copied and pasted my old review .
Shadows actually stole it from the press release to the first Angels and Airwaves album.
The intro was so deep and profound holy ship
Like everyone else in the world I agree almost completely with this review, but I disagree with the part about it being the most accessible emo album. There are plenty of others that are for easier to get into.
NortherlyNanook
At least now there's a decent review of this album.
I agree with it being rather accessible. It was only my second emo album, and I greatly enjoyed it after taking time to get past screaming before listening to it.
I love how you can talk to the band on their forum. That's pretty cool.
Uh oh advertising
Serpento
^modded kthx
I dunno, I got right into this album first-listen. All I had before it was ska and Dead Kennedys, so I guess that's saying something.
cbmartinez
good review but this is not a 5, never will be
good album blah blah
elaborate?
SubtleDagger
This is not the most accessible emo album and it's not a 5, probably more like a 4 or 4.5
Most accessible emo album would probably be something by euros or Envy
You're saying people into other heavy genres could get into it but the thing is that most people get into the euro stuff or Envy because it's all post-rockish and I'd submit that it's much easier for post-rock fans to appreciate Envy than metal fans appreciating CTTS
joshuatree
good review and such band blows hard though just kiddin but not reallyThis Message Edited On 11.13.07
Uh most casual listeners are alright with post rock
A good example is I could be like driving some guy to work and I could put in Envy and he would be like "Oh hey this is pretty nice, that guy is yelling but okay"
Then i would put in CTTS and he would be like "Jesus christ what the hell"
who gives a fuckThis Message Edited On 11.13.07
album is good band is good there fuck the rest

PENGUINS SCORE EARLY AND OFTEN IN 6-1 DEFEAT OF CRUNCH
October 15, 2017 Nick Hart
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins seized their second win of the 2017-18 season with a 6-1 victory against the Syracuse Crunch on Sunday afternoon at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (2-2-0-0) saw two rookies take the reins of its potent offense, Daniel Sprong and Gage Quinney, who had a goal and two assists each. Sprong extended his goal-scoring streak to four games, while Quinney impressed with his three-point output in what was his AHL debut.
The Penguins got on the board just 34 seconds into the game with a rebound goal on the first shot of the night by Jean-Sébastien Dea.
Syracuse goaltender Connor Ingram held Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in check for the rest of the opening frame, denying the Penguins on 11 of the 12 shots he faced in the first period. However, the floodgates opened on Ingram and the Crunch quickly in the second stanza.
Garret Wilson had a puck ricochet off of his boot and across the goal line 1:16 into the second period. Exactly three minutes later, Thomas Di Pauli tipped in a feed from Teddy Blueger and put the Penguins in a commanding 3-0 lead.
The Crunch answered during a five-on-three power play, when Cory Conacher's shot deflected off of Wilson's stick and snuck over the glove of Casey DeSmith.
After extended power play time on the other side of the ice, Christian Thomas scored his first goal as a Penguin and reestablished his team's three-goal lead with 3:01 left in the second period.
Sprong made fans wait until the final period of regulation to extend his goal-scoring streak to four games, but he did just that midway through the third frame, making it 5-1. Sprong later set up Quinney for the 22-year-old's first AHL goal with 5:18 left in the game.
DeSmith earned his second win on the season by saving 24 out of the 25 shots he faced, and he still has yet to be scored on at even strength so far this season. Ingram recorded 25 saves for the Crunch.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's next game is Friday, Oct. 20 against the Laval Rocket at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. Puck drop between the Penguins and Rocket is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Individual tickets for all Penguins home games are available at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza box office, online at TicketMaster.com, or by calling 800-745-3000.
Season ticket packages for the 19th season of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins hockey, including full season, 22-game, 12-game and Flexbook plans, are available by contacting the Penguins directly at (570) 208-7367.
