Finally  I met a man with kindness in his eyes and fire in his heart. HE said you'll never have to chose a side--it's rewarding, but all around, it's hard.

Streetlight Manfiesto

[songs-from-mount-chorus]

So, I’m stealing this from @overzealous-panda-yak, one of those “List your 20 favorite albums” kind of deals. Staying with what seems to be the trend, I’ve kept myself to a one-album-per-artist limit. And while I don’t know that I can definitively say that these are my 20 “favorite” albums (because I have a crippling fear of setting things in stone, and because I could very well come up with an entirely different list in the morning), the following 20 albums have all been ones that I have at one point or another in my life fixated on to the detriment of pretty much all other music. So, without further ado, the list, presented in a rough chronological order of when I was super-duper into them:

1. Anthem - Less Than Jake 2. The End Is Near - Five Iron Frenzy 3. Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly 4. Reconstruction Site - The Weakerthans 5. Decomposer - The Matches 6. The Sufferer & the Witness - Rise Against 7. Everything in Transit - Jack’s Mannequin 8. Blackout - Dropkick Murphys 9. Somewhere in the Between - Streetlight Manfiesto 10. The ‘59 Sound - The Gaslight Anthem 11. Sam’s Town - The Killers 12. Say Anything - Say Anything 13. This Will Be the Death of Us - Set Your Goals 14. My Dinosaur Life - Motion City Soundtrack 15. England Keep My Bones - Frank Turner 16. Pedestrian Verse - Frightened Rabbit 17. America, Location 12 - Dispatch 18. Transcendental Youth - The Mountain Goats 19. The Beauty Between - RVIVR 20. The Other Shore - Murder By Death

As always, if you feel like killing a bit of time and this seems like the best way to do it, consider yourself tagged.

Help this amazing band reach their KickStarter goal to fund their new album by pre-ordering their album! You won’t be disappointed! They’re a ska-rock-ish band! Today is the last day to preorder and help them reach their goal, or the album doesn’t get released! :( 

[skajador]

Would you be upset if I told you we were dying? And every cure they gave us was a lie? Oh! They mean it when they say we're dead and doomed and every single symptom brings us closer to the tomb. And who will take the credit for our swift impending fall, because it's not my fault.

Depends. Would you be impressed if I said the dead would help us counting every single moment that we waste our time?

[acetylcholame]

There we were the Three of Us The Thief, the King, and I.

[sincerelysatirical]

Seeing them live on Friday and Saturday for their goodbye tour- this song is going to kill me live.

[thethiefthekingandi]

Our disease Though feasibly easily curable I will agree that it’s not something we overfeed The truth will be told The lies will unfold

Oh Me, Oh My by Streetlight Manifesto

[warped-candy]

I re-discover how amazing Streetlight Manifesto is every time I listen to any song they ever wrote.

[earthsystem]

D and the A and the M and the N and the A and the T and the I-O-N

This is a place where e-tern-ally

fire is applied to the bod-y

teeth are extruded and bones are ground

and baked into cakes that are passed around

[primus-sucks]

I am just done. I can't enjoy Streetlight Manifesto like I used to. I am not bored in any fashion. I'm too eager to be bored. I'm fucking EAGER for the concerts. Four days consecutively? Yesthir! I can't listen to any more Streetlight Manifesto via studio recording. I need live music, their live music. NOW! But NOOooooOO-oooOo I have to WAIT till the end of this current month. The END!

POZ Playlist: Team Recommendations

It’s the weekend again, so PropertyOfZack is back with a brand new Team Recommendations Playlist! Each weekend, different members of our team recommend both old and new songs for our viewers to listen to and enjoy. Check out our Team Playlist and listen to the songs on Spotify while reading everyone’s thoughts! 

Haddaway - What Is Love Because it's at that point in the winter where I'm going stir crazy and finding it difficult to take myself or anything seriously. - Adrienne Fisher (@adriennerayfish)

Bring Me the Horizon - Shadow Moses While metalcore, in general, continues to tread water as a genre, Bring Me the Horizon once again prove that there is still room for innovation within the much-maligned genre. The Brits' lead single, "Shadow Moses," off of their forthcoming fourth album, Sempiternal, is a barn-burning, rip-rousing, baseball-bat-to-the-temples of a tune. So don't let Woe, Is Me or [insert shitty ____core band here] get you down on the genre. Bring Me the Horizon persist to bring it both heavy and hard. Michael Meeze (@mikemeeze)

Jackie Wilson - Lonely Teardrops One of Mr. Excitement's greatests gifts to music - a sad song you can dance to. - Ali Carcache (@alicarcache)

Streetlight Manifesto- The Receiving End Of It All Streetlight Manifesto is the band that is responsible for me becoming the person that I am currently. They were my entrance into the music scene and I am so grateful for them. The whole news about their "hiatus" bummed me out to a new level. While we await their new album (first in 6 years) it's about the time to go back and listen to their discography. This is my favorite Streetlight song for many reasons, and that horn breakdown at the end made me shed a tear when I listened the day I found out about their news. I guess I'll probably cry or something when I see them do their farewell tour in the Fall. R.I.P. Streetlight. - Justin Graci (@JustinHMGraci)

Cartel - In Stereo (Acoustic) I have their EP In Stereo, but I just found this little jem while on browsing Spotify: The deluxe version, with acoustic tracks.  And I am all about acoustics. This song seems to communicate something different over acoustic guitar; a slightly slower, more emotional song. I dig this. Ready for Collider already! - Mike Sheffey (@SheffeyzTweetz)

Rhye- Open Selecting a song from Woman was frustrating because every single track is worthy. In all honesty, just stream the whole album- I promise it will change your life for the better, or positively alter your current state of mind. Rhye has opened a window of intimacy that I didn't even know existed within me. The only way I can describe this album is by ripping off Trip Fontaine: It's a stone cold fox. - Sydney Gore (@sydegee)

Like Torches - Missing It All I saw Like Torches for the first time two weeks ago and I've had their new album, Keep Your Head High, on repeat ever since. The energy and presence in their live show blew me away and the album, produced by Ryan Key and Ryan Mendez of Yellowcard, is everything that's right in rock music these days. "Missing It All" has a driving pace, some well-placed harmonies, and instantly relatable lyrics about leaving behind all the things holding you back and finding your own way. - Becky Kovach (@beckystrz)

Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia Being home on spring break and finally getting some quality tme with my record player has me feeling very "Almost Famous nostalgic" this week. I also put some good albums under my little brother's bed before I moved away, however that did not quite warrant the results I hoped for (it's the thought that counts, right?) Either way, this is just a great tune and unless you don't have a soul, it is impossible to listen to it and not be in a great mood. - Brittany Oblak (@brittanyoblak)  

Story Of The Year - Until The Day I Die Let's take things back to 2003, I was a fresh-faced 6th grader and enjoying music was a foreign concept. Up until this point I never actively sought out music and only listened to top 40 on the radio. Anything "hard" scared me to much to ever listen to it, but there are two things that changed that: Page Avenue and Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. Story Of The Year announced their reunion on Friday along with a full run on Warped Tour so I will get to see them for the first time and I for one will be screaming this song until the day I die (see what I did there?). - Connor Sheehan (@ConnorPOZ)

The Mountain Goats- Up the Wolves The Sunset Tree is a mainstay in my handful of favorite albums, and something about winter finally shedding into springtime makes this a must-spin record for the next few weeks. "Up the Wolves" is the most triumphant track on the album, and features some of John Darnielle's finest lyricism. The album deserves a full play-through, but if you've only got time in your hectic listening schedule for one Mountain Goats tune, make sure it's this one. -Erik van Rheenen (@TheRealVandyMan)

Slow Warm Death – Alone *Song is not on Spotify John Galm's long awaited project, Slow Warm Death, finally released their full length album. Don't be fooled, former Snowing frontman flipped the script from his past bands roots and put out a super gritty, garage surf record that’s so full of reverb you're going to hear it echo in your head for the rest of the day. The second track "Alone" blows your mind right out of the gate. Grab your surfboard, and let death take you. - Dan Bassini (@danbassini)

eels - Mr. E's Beautiful Blues Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, uh huh. - Jesse Richman(@jrichmanesq)

Ed Sheeran – Wake Me Up My girlfriend got me hooked on this song and his music in general. I guess singing this sexy song in a bathtub full of bublles while I play video games in the other room will do that to a man. – Hobbes (@waitrewindthat)

John Mayer – Daughters I spent some time listening to John Mayer’s older songs and I completely forgot how much I adore this song. Heavier Things is such a great album. I expect that I’ll be listening to it a lot in the near future. – Deanna Chapman (@deechapman21)

9. Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb (2003)

I had already been a huge fan of Catch 22 at the point that this album was released. I was 15 years old when this came out. I remember hearing that Tomas Kalnoky had started a new ska band, and was releasing a cd. I got so excited, I bought this day 1. I was not disappointed at all. This is very very reminiscent of Keasby Night's era Catch 22. Very skilled musicians, playing fun, fast, upbeat ska/punk. It's not really that much ska. Just a rock band with a horn section. Regardless, I really like this cd.

So she wakes up in time to break down She left a note up on the dresser and she's right on time You don't know anything right or wrong I said I know and she said so I want to panic but I've had it so I go you don't owe anything to anyone But don't take your life because it's all that you've got you'd be better off just up and leaving if you don't think they will stop And when you wake up everything is going to be fine I guarantee that you wake up in a better place in a better time so you're tired of living and you feel like you might give in well don't it's not your time looking through the paper today looking for a specific page don't want to find her full name followed by dates because when I left her alone she made a sound, like a moan "you're known by everyone for everything you've done" fuck buying flowers for graves I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop to anywhere find anyone do anything forget and start again, love she said she won't go and that's that it hurts too much to stand by you've got to stop and draw a line and everyone here has to choose a side tonight the moment of truth is haunting you don't forget your family regardless of what you choose to do you can't decide and they're all screaming "why won't you?" I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun but I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow (tomorrow) Annie says "The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me" (without me) Annie says "If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me" (save me) Annie says "I think I'll pass away tonight, because it seems I'll never get it right if it's just me" (just me) Annie says! And when you wake up everything is going to be fine  I guarantee that you wake up in a better place and in a better time so you're tired of living and you feel like you might give in well don't it's not your time Annie says she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure for all her problems (her problems) Annie says as long as she has someone near to make it clear she does not need to solve them (solve them) Annie says "oh, this loneliness is killing me it's filling me with anger and resentment (resentment)" Annie says "I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again" And when you wake up everything is going to be fine I guarantee that you wake up in a better place and in a better time so you're tired of living and you feel like you might give in well don't it's not your time Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow (tomorrow) Annie says "The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me" (without me) Annie says "If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me" (save me) Annie says "I think I'll pass away tonight, because it seems I'll never get it right if it's just me" (just me) Annie says! and when you wake up everything is going to be fine I guarantee that you wake up in a better place and in a better time so you're tired of living and you feel like you might give in well don't it's not your time and even if it was I wouldn't let you go you could run run run run but I will follow close someday you will say "that's it, that's all" but I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall I know that you think that you're on your own but just know that I'm here and I'll lead you home if you let me she said "forget me" but I can't

Morning Recap: Fall Out Boy Are Back, TSSF Release First Single, Postal Service Reunion Tour

Fall Out Boy Are Back

We will be running a longer "Fall Out Boy Recap" in just an hour or so, but for now you can scroll through all that happened with the band by clicking above.

The Story So Far “Right Here” Single Stream

The Story So Far have given us the first taste of What You Don't See with "Right Here." If you have yet to give it a spin, make sure you do. It's going to be a popular topic of discussion today. 

The Postal Service Announce World Stadium, Festival Reunion Tour

If you don't want to spend all your money going to Coachella and being surrounded by people you hate, we've got partial good news for you. The Postal Service have indeed added more dates to their reunion routing, but it's still pretty sparse at this point. Keep your fingers crossed. 

Streetlight Manifesto’s LP Being Held In Purgatory By Victory Records

This story started out as unsurprising and has now moved to unbelievable. Victory Records, who promised to give us a release date for Streetlight's new album this past Friday, have decided that they once again do not care about a flash flood of fans that hate them and have released no new news. The worst part? Streetlight don't know anything more than we do on a release.

fun., Tegan And Sara Announce Summer Tour

fun. are making the jump from large theaters to sheds this summer, and they'll be taking their friends in Tegan And Sara out with them as support. It will certainly be interesting to see whether or not fun.'s sound can translate into a live setting to crowds up to 15,000 people. 

Relient K Release “That’s My Jam”; 90’s Reference Song

Have you spun this yet? If not, you probably haven't felt the confusion of whether or not you should be laughing or be disgruntled. Good news, this song is super catchy. Better news, this song is apparently not going to be on their new album. 

Against Me! Begin Record New LP; Atom Willard Tracking Drums

Many fans were under the impression that Against Me! had recorded their album mid-2012, but it looks like the band just started tracking yesterday. Atom Willard may also now be an official member of the band, which would be rad. 

Cobra Starship Working On New Album In The Studio

First Fall Out Boy, now this. What Decaydance band could be next?
