if i say this is an emo band, a lot of people will be turned off, but really it's allll fucking emo.
Tim Kasher is brilliant though, and they make great music. I have The Ugly Organ and Domestica and they are definitely some of my favorite CDs.
Tim Kasher used to be in a band with another person who is one of my favorites: Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. They used to be in Commander Venus or something. They're good friends. If you like Cursive, you might like Bright Eyes.

What's special about Cursive is that they have a celloist in their band. It's odd, but the cello adds a fantastic texture to the whole thing.
Tim Kasher's voice brims with emotions when he sings. I love that guy. BUt the time I went to see him for the Plea for Peace Tour, he was drunk as fuck and got the songs and lyrics mixed up. BUt he's great. Listen to him

Get the Cursivemug. the word was coined around the 70s (way before I was born) during the days when people discarded all syllables but the last. (pizza = 'za, matches = 'ches... seems like only 'zine survived.)
So it's basically a crudely made magazine.
Mostly punk/poetic/indie/misunderstood/lost/artsy/goth/loner/whatever teenagers do it now.
They write/draw whatever they want on pieces of paper, photocopy, staple, and sell them for anywhere from a few dimes to a few bucks. Many are also free.
If you buy a zine for over $2, you got ripped.

In my opinion, if you charge more than a dollar, you suck. You've more than broken even, you blood sucking capitalist.

Get the zinemug. Mayor of San Francisco.
Before, I was doubtful of this man.
But if it weren't for this his daring, our country might never know what it's like to have gay married couples living in our nation (doesn;t feel any different than before.)
If it werent for Newsom, a lot of people would still think gay marriage = apocalypse.
I'm very impressed by what he's done in his first year alone (the only other SF mayor I ever knew was Brown, who did jack shit for all these years.)

BUT I have beef with: his handling of homelessness, the fact that he is very pro-biotech, and the fact that I wouldve wanted to see a green party guy win. (certainly came very close!)

Get the newsommug. not just some stupid movie.
The suspension of normal civil law and its replacement by strict military control.

Military rules ALL.
suspension of rights and freedoms

Get the martial lawmug. City by the pacific Ocean. We have 10 months of winter here and like two of summer.
Places of interest:
We have the Haight and Ashbury area, which really isn't what it used to be.
We have Chinatown, which is smelly and stuffy and crowded all the time. We have a great view, especially from Twin Peaks. We have the alcatraz (sp?) island, and the cable cars are pretty rad.

Get the san franciscomug. impossibly good-looking emokid. He is known most commonly as the frontman for Bright Eyes, but he has also fronted his later project Desaparecidos.
This guy is a genius, often tagged as a wunderkind (he started recording at 14) and channels his emotions into powerful lyrics emokidettes can relate to.
Actually, he is still sorta a kid. I went to a show of his when he was way younger and he was so tiny and kid-like it shocked me. I haven't seen him recently (he's gone too mainstream for my wallet) so hopefully he had finally hit puberty and start growing up.
If you like Bright Eyes, you will love Cursive, front by a member of Conor's former band Commander Venus Tim Kasher. Similar music, except I prefer Cursive

One thing that sets Conor apart from other musicians is his amazing voice. His voice wavers when he sings. It reconnects people to memories of crying and painful emotions and whatnot so after a few painful notes, you will be real fucking depressed. Go to one of his shows and you can feel the depression rolling off the crowd. No moshing here, kiddos, just crying.

Get the conor oberstmug. Something you say after you fuck up. This way, people will think you have actually succeeded when in fact you have failed so miserably your former supporters have crossed over.
