You know, today was supposed to be a quiet peaceful Monday. Several of my co-workers were out, and after the sweltering weekend we had here in NYC it seemed like a decent way to break in the working week. Sit in the free AC. Pay some bills. Work on this blog...but no, that's just not the way things went down. I've had two reports to put together in a matter of minutes, rather than hours, and that's not even counting the report that was due last week that slipped through the cracks. Sigh.
Anyway, you don't care about that...
The Anniversary was one of those bands I got into in the musically confusing turn of the millenia. At the time they (along with other embarrasing "emo" precursers like The Get Up Kids) seemed like the logical progression of Superchunk. Their hook-filled pop melodies couched in punkish instrumentation seemed an obvious debt to Chapel Hill's favorite sons, but on further inspection, these kids always lacked the spikey attitude of Chunk. Still I keep a couple of songs around for those hooks. I do have a sweet tooth somewhere back there...
