Bill Presents: What I Came Here For

At the risk of turning off everyone here, I present a mix tape comprised of my very favorite genre of music: sad punk songs.

The main thing that first drew me to punk rock circa 1995 is the same thing that has held me in its grasp ever since -- the ability to take depression, pain, and woe and infuse those feelings with energy, passion, and earnestness. To scream your sadness at the top of your lungs. There is no other genre where misery and celebration are indistinguishable.

I attempted to cover a wide swath of what is considered "punk rock," and shied away from including what would be considered ballads or unusual songs for any given artist. For the most part, what you hear from each artist here is more or less indicative of their overall sound. Here's hoping you all find at least something listenable here. If not, my deepest apologies.

Andrew Presents: Death in the Family

I've been thinking about loss a bit lately. I've never had someone I was very close to die. A relatively distant uncle I was fond of is about the limit. But I'm getting older, and saying goodbye to some of the people you love - picked randomly - seems to be an inevitable part of that. I share things online with a circle of about fifty people. Assuming you're all about the same age as me, the chances of at least one of you dying in the next decade is 48%. The chances of at least one of the eleven people I would consider my immediate family dying in the next decade is 49%. The chances of my dad dying some time in the next ten years by itself is starting to push 20%. I don't think I am ready for it. We'll see.
