So I've decided to change the title of my poster series, to the "Songs From My Youth Project".. I thought it would be a lot less limiting, as I was feeling blocked by the title. Anyways, I think it will be a lot more fun this way, and allow me to feature different genres.

This week's track - Jawbreaker's, "Chemistry". AHHH, "Dear You", is one of my favourite albums of all time. And "Chemistry" is just so.. high school. Kind of makes me feel nostalgic - but also really happy, because I'm not 17 anymore. So much drama. I wish I could tell my younger self that none of that stuff matters in 2 years, 5 years, or 10 years later.

But you know what lasts - the music. I still listen to this album ALL the time. Pedro + I bonded over loving this album when we first started dating.

Fun fact: I have a "Dear You" tattoo that I got when I was 20.

Welcome to the second POLKA DOTTED PIXELS, Tuned In post! Continuing with The EMO Project, here is Poster #2.

This second poster is inspired by one of my favourite bands ever, Brand New. I've been listening to this band, for jeez, over 10 years now. I feel so old, haha. But seriously, I've watched the band grow and progress (and seen them live about 6 times) over the course of the last decade, and it's so interesting to see how their sound has changed. SOCO AMARETTO LIME is the last song on Brand New's first album, YOUR FAVORITE WEAPON. It always kind of makes me sad - the song is about nostalgia - but also brings up old feelings for me. However, I love it nonetheless.

Brand New

Passed out on the overpass Sunday best and broken glass Broken down from the bikes and bars Suspended like spirits over speeding cars You and me were kings over the parkway tonight And tonight will go on forever while we walk around this town like we own the streets and
