02:39 AM - Rainer Maria break up
Pitchfork has the exclusive - the band whose last album was titled Catastrophe Keeps Us Together has decided not to stay together after all. After 11 years Rainer Maria, the only band that I would dare listen to and call "emo" without punching myself in the face are apparently moving on. Both Sleater-Kinney and Rainer Maria call it quits in one year? Who's next, Nada Surf? Rainer Maria - "Tinfoil" (don't forget to clap along one last time) Final shows: There are going to be a lot of sad cute girls in sweaters at these two shows. Here are some photos I've taken of Rainer Maria (at a free show at Arlene's Grocery).
December 15 @ First Unitarian Church, Philly
December 16 @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC

Crap, Rainer Maria breaking up is a total bummer. I have a soft spot for them because they moved to NYC from Wisconsin around the same time I did. And people tell me I look like Caithlin. Plus all those '90s shows at the Fireside Bowl. Ah the memories. Good people those Rainer Marias.
