Jamie and Tim practice social distancing and return with an episode about Saves the Day's seminal 2001 record Stay What You Are. They compliment Chris Conley's lyrical approach, wonder why today's teens aren't as into Saves the Day, and shout out puzzles. Also, Jamie continues her gentle speculation about Chris Conley's sexuality and what it'd be like to date him.

Jamie returns with special guest Josh to discuss The Weakerthans' second record. John K. Samson is a great lyricist whose words resonate more with each passing year.

Tim and fellow emo aficionado Jonah Ko (both of whom are DJs at MIT's radio station WMBR) discuss the first Good Luck record while wondering if people can become more noble, considerate, and loving just by listening to it. This is also by far the best-sounding episode of Seeing It This Way - you're welcome. PunkNews interview from 2009: https://www.punknews.org/article/35617/interviews-good-luck

recorded in april 2018, tim and returning guest elizabeth discuss the first football etc. record, released in 2011. the two gush about "safety" and talk about how sports maybe aren't that bad after all! possibly the first episode of the football etc./seeing it this way trilogy. check out elizabeth's band FEELS FINE: https://feelsfine666.bandcamp.com/

jamie and seeing it this way return with a long-overdue episode about taking back sunday's first record, tell all your friends. return guest neon joins to discuss the highs (those bridges!) and lows (that teenage misogyny!) of this influential record. track-by-track commentary starts at the 18 minute mark. Follow neon on twitter (@neonsigh) or on neon-hq.tumblr.com cw: misogyny and abuse discussion, school shooting discussion, dog barks, some cursing, some misinformation, & jamie shitting on a dumb book

two-time guest host tim fills in for jamie with an episode about kolya's self-titled album, released in 2001. special guest elizabeth calls in from toronto to talk about the record's old-school emo vibe and many math and science (and magic!) references, as well as the importance of metadata.

jamie and special guest (and audio wizard) tim discuss the joyce manor album never hungover again. but is joyce manor emo? just how annoying are stagediving, crowdsurfing, and moshing? what's the deal with "in the army now"? and isn't this album so good? recorded at Jamie's house on a hot night, so apologies for the ambient AC noises.

recorded 100 years ago and finally released on jawbreaker day! jamie and special guest alex janis (little american champ) discuss the band's controversial swan song, dear you. little american champ (RIP) covered "chemistry" for a jawbreaker compilation, and jamie had never listened to the album until right before this was recorded and also had a couple beers beforehand, so this should go very well. listen to the jawbreaker compilation What's the Score? (feat. little american champ) here: https://saveyourgenerationrecords.bandcamp.com/album/whats-the-score-syg-022

nm esc (best friend and best writer tbh) & jamie discuss brand new's classic album "deja entendu". recorded way before we learned jesse lacey was a total Creep and Predator, so that totally sucks. we do discuss heavy things in this podcast relating to power dynamics and abuse and assault, because jesse obv wrote about things he knew. this is a hard one to look back on and i feel sad/angry that i had to let go of my favorite emo band. fuck scene boys.

jamie & audio wizard tim discuss coheed and cambria's second album, "in keeping secrets of silent earth: 3". tw for talk of emotional abuse. aside from my traumatic associations with this band, this album is insane and i had fun. let's do it again!!!!
