third one!

Woohoo! The third installment of the Brasserie arrives after a lengthy hiatus due to work and not having webhosting for a while there. But I am a faithful lapdog of my listeners, if they exist, and shall bring forth musics to entertain them forthwith!

...ya know, I'm never exactly sure what to say in the actual posts here. I think the show and the music really speak for themselves, and I don't have anything terribly relevant to add here, except to add that this show isn't meant as a trashing of the American Hardcore book or DVD. I liked and recommend both as vital histories of the music and as resources for bands you don't hear much about anymore.
I just hate it when bands of a certain era pause from their ceaseless bickering over who invented what (which I also hate) to shit on the new generation of bands in their genre because dammit, THEY invented it and it should have died with them, ostensibly because it would have made them look cool and iconic instead of like a circlejerk (no pun intended) of bitter has-beens living off their past glory. Punk and hardcore shouldn't die just because they decided not to play it anymore, and it's kind of sad to see these guys pat themselves on the back for inspiring each other and then turn around and disparage newer bands just because a) they inspired something they didn't expect or b) they can't keep up with the kids. Or c) they think the only thing going in hardcore now is the boring, metal-in-girl-pants stuff that Alternative Press calls hardcore. In which case, they're dead wrong.

Wow, turns out I did know what to say. Sort of. Here's the podcast.
