365 project, "so come to my house and sit on my couch, my couch is made of orange vinyl. why dont you stay a while? i love to see you smile."
184.
Artist: Philmore
Album: Philmore
In college I listened to more than my fair share of music from a very specific sub-genre of music. Christian pop-punk was my favorite thing, and I listened to bands like Philmore, Relient K, and Holland, as well as the ska-ier side of that, which was full of bands like Five Iron Frenzy and the Insyderz. I have grown out of this phase, mostly because a lot of these bands ceased to make music, but also because I didn’t have the energy to listen to bands like this anymore. I am just too old to bounce around the house singing along at the top of my lungs into my hairbrush, though on some occasions, it does still happen.
I actually all but forgot about this album until pretty recently. I have been watching “the 90’s are all that” on Teennick and if you recall, the logo for the older-kids Nick shows in the 90’s was a big orange couch, and now every time I see it, I immediately sing “so come to my house, and sit on my couch, my couch is made of orange vinyl…”
I am sure I’ve seen these guys in concert once or twice in my lifetime, probably at Creation, but likely on tour with some of their Five Minute Walk label-mates (maybe even with Five Iron?) but I cannot for the life of me recall actually seeing them. I don’t have a really strong connection to this album or this band. This leaves me with very little to write about here.
I think that maybe I should listen to it tomorrow when I drive to work for the first time in three months. I am excited and nervous, and have first day of school jitters the same way I did when I was little and going back on the first day. I commented earlier tonight on facebook that my tummy hurts and that I believe that ouchie is a direct result of first day nerves. This is also why I am up and writing this entry at three in the morning.
I guess I should try to get some sleep or something.
