Emo is a bad word.

Most emo bands would in fact deny that they are emo, but we all know what it is when we hear it.

A few years ago, when I was unemployed, I became obsessed with Death Cab For Cutie. I bought "The Photo Album" right after I was laid off from the airline. This coincided with the beginning of a gray Minnesota winter. I would sit in my tiny downtown apartment and listen to DCFC almost daily. Healthy? Probably not. It was therapeutic and a perfect backdrop for that moment in time.
I went to a DCFC show and I think I was the only one there over twenty-five. Maybe the music wasn't written for me. I am a little too old to be a sniffling emo-kid. I am, however, not ashamed.
