And it's Friday again. Wow that was fast. Life is indeed slipping away but don't look so glum about it. It'll all feel better with a soundtrack. My selection for this week is a difficult one. I'm tempted to say Arcade Fire for a third time and risk looking like a maniac but alas I havn't the guts.

So it's got to be PVT (formerly Pivot who had to change their name because of a legal battle with a band of the same name). This track of thier dark and moving new album is the standout soundtrack to my life slipping away. Emo.

So this week, thanks to a friend reminding me of Millencolin's 'no cigar', and all this talk of the general year 2000 vibe to reading, i have been revisiting Epitaph's PUNK O RAMA SERIES.
As wiki describes it -



Punk-O-Rama was the title given to a series of ten compilation albums published by Epitaph Records between 1994 and 2005. The first volume was released in 1994, the second in 1996, and the rest annually from 1998 to 2005. The albums included artists from Epitaph's roster as well as from its subsidiary label ANTI- and its partnership labels Hellcat Records and Burning Heart Records. In total the series included 257 songs contributed by 88 different artists.

the whole series is pretty consistent...so many hidden gems and a few stinkers but what do expect the series is almost 10 years long.

its been powering me through all the css ive been buried in this week and it cant help but make you smile.
