There has been a ton of true emo music from the late 80s through the early 2000s available (more available than it was back ten or fifteen years ago when I listened to it often) but I wasn't really aware until now. This is great because it's all stuff that was on limited vinyl releases followed by discography collections that were usually equally limited, so no matter what you do, getting hold of the music is a pain in the ass. I found some incredible stuff floating around online that I was surprised to see. Don Martin Three was probably the most stunning find, so that tops the list.

This guy's blog is unbelievable. I don't even know half this stuff, but for anyone who does, the site has got to be the most insane gold mine. I never liked any of the NYHC stuff for whatever reason, just not a style I was into, but there's a couple of things in there I'm a fan of and the fact that a site like this exists is really, really cool, for those people who do know and like all that other stuff. Plus the exhaustive info included is just unheard of.. I just wish anything that more blogs like this existed. One thing that was pretty amusing was this one post for a band called Release, where it said about one of their records - "The test presses had 'United Record Pressing' white labels, and were on black vinyl. There were also special "Wolverine" editions on black vinyl with different covers and Marvel cards inside."
