How emo you ask? I believe that I first caught this track on a compilation called the Emo Diaries. Also, this track was on an album Posthumous, that was released 2 years after they'd broken up.
Actually a little surprised by how few listeners are listed on last.fm; they were pretty influential in the midwest scene of the era, and as good, if not better than many of the more successful acts that followed.
They were on crank!, and I have a fair amount of their catalog. Boys Life, Mineral, Gloria Record, pre-Saddle Creek Cursive releases, etc etc. I still have a crank! records sticker on one of my camera cases.
This was around the time where I was buying the majority of releases from the labels I was following, among them: Saddle Creek (Omaha), Post Parlo (Austin), Barsuk (Seattle), DeSoto (DC), and Jade Tree (DE)
Yup. That's intentional and I think what differentiates the service, but there are still things we can (and will) do around browsing/doing things with the backlog
I can understand the approach/attitude (music expiration, highlighting the current jam), but in implementation I think make it too having the timeline completely blow away the previous jam/not having history in the timeline takes ephemerality too far.
Why leave a comment if it just disappears and no one, not even the poster might see it? Why bother spending any time writing about a jam? If the idea isn't just to highlight tracks of the moment, the context is important...
btw i think there is a big whole right now for an app that lets your write/historicize/contextualize your relationship w/ a track, album, band, but maybe that's not what thisismyjam is... but it should be!

And this is why we'll need to work on the jam archive soon ;)

Yeah, sort of sucks that it just disappears. Also, do previous tracks completely disappear from the timeline as well?

just noticed jams don't have permalinks either, huh? puts a damper on a lot of interesting things.
