The E Word

We welcome Jake who releases all of your favorite bands on Counter Intuitive Records on the podcast. We were nervous. We talk some light news and then talk about Counter Intuitive a lot. We talk a lot about r/emo and how it's fueled Counter Intuitive. It's the shortest episode we have, but it's a big crossover for the podcast. Big love to Jake and CIR.

Whoooaaaa we welcome Elliott from Michael Cera Palin on the podcast tackle tons of news and topics. We talk that new Foxing LP, we talk about influence vs ripping off artists, we have a final segment of *NICK WATCH*, we talk about new Cursive, Joyce Manor, and Saves The Day and tons fucking more. Elliott is the best. Michael Cera Palin is the best. We also play a song by the band Condado.

EPISODE 15, we joined Alyx from the podcast Heavy Snacking to taste snacks that are mentioned on Heavy Snacking. We also talked about regional fast food and favorite snacks, and Ellie tries Kombucha for the first time on air. We of course talked about emo. A lot of Kali emo. Our version of this episode is The E Word's director cut. To hear a different edited version, check out the Heavy Snacking feed.YERB.

We welcome Adam, who writers for Cvlt Nation, No Echo, and Yer Scene onto the podcast for a loose episode. We talk about a ton of things, like feelings of getting too old for emo and hardcore. We tackled a few news topics like new Joyce Manor. We fielded a ton of listener submitted questions. We end on playing Over/Under.Songs in the episode come from Hollyhocks and The Slow-Goers.

Longtime r/emo subscriber, Tom aka u/pineapplestirfry666, hops on the pod with Kyle and Ellie this episode. We get back to regular programming with lots of news and venom spewing. We focus on two big releases that r/emo can't stop talking about... Just Friends - "Nothing But Love" (not an emo album) and Mom Jeans - "Puppy Love" (the year's biggest emo album?) We end on talking about the past 5 years of the sub and growth and changes and all that.We played music from JIMMY MAYO and BINARY.

Just Kyle and Ellie on this one. We put together an episode based around mental health and relationships. We don't talk about ourselves much and decided a way to open up is to talk about mental health and relationships, which is something very related to emo. This episode was unfortunately plagued by connectivity issues, so hope you can stick it out. Thanks to so many of you who reached out with questions for the episode. 

We had Shannon Taylor from awakebutstillinbed on the show. We talked about the band's history, Shannon's experience with emo, playing house shows, etc. The band is on tour this summer playing a million shows. You should see them. 

10 episodes of THE E WORD! On this episode we decided to do our own XXL Freshman Class but for emo. We took this to a vote and broke the list down here. 

We welcome Matt from Darkle, Spaceshow, and Parker Luck back on the podcast. Matt made us a fucking theme song that you will hear every episode. We also a premiere a Darkle song from their new EP, "Pain Train". Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt. SHOW NOTES: https://goo.gl/6sSugM

This episode was plagued with undesirable sound quality due to bad internet connections on both ends. Sorry.We don't have a guest for this one- just Kyle and Ellie fielding listener questions, talking Hobo Johnson, and diving into the latest news from Jerome's Dream, Pinegrove, etc. I'm sure you're all excited about an episode less than 90 minutes! This week's song comes from Talk, Tired, Thanatoid: https://talktiredthanatoid.bandcamp.com/

On episode 7 we welcome Ben (u/alpacaneb on reddit or Thundarcougar Falconbird on discord) on the pod for a big episode. We get back into a upvote/downvote news segment to talk about the happenings with Remo Drive, Sorority Noise, Meme Jeans and more. But the bulk of the episode is with Ben leading a discussion about the continual sexual misconduct stories that happen in the scene. This is a topic we have brought up several times, but this time we actually carve out time for a mapped discussion. This week's song break is "14 Days" by Floral Tattoo: https://floraltattoo.bandcamp.com/releases

We are joined by Kenneth and Hugh from the zine YER SCENE. Kyle, Ellie and the Yer Scene folks discuss the zine and zine culture, modern music journalism and accountability in the scene.
