Please clarify who you were aiming at and what exactly your beef is/was. For right now I feel like I've been yelled at without getting why: neither am I new to this forum (I've been around here for years, though reading far more than posting) nor can I see in which way my posts might've not complied with the rules of the thread. So please...

Don't worry about it Yossarian, you did nothing wrong so he couldn't have been directing it at you. Plus even if he was, don't worry about it, he has some sort of control issues.

Caesura - Dear Light Outside (2007)
Read the quote and then give one good reason not to download. One of the new bands that i will definitely watch what they do next.

--- Quote ---Caesura are four young guys from Winchester that cite the inspiration for writing their debut EP as personal loss, friendships, the band, being hospitalized and love. Their song writing has been influenced by Explosions In The Sky, The Appleseed Cast, At The Drive In, and Minus The Bear, but their songs could hardly be called emo or post rock. All lasting for 6 minutes or more and featuring a mixture of ambient and angular tones coupled with a disregard for conventional song length and structure, Caesura offer something a little different to the current emo trends.

Building The State - The Flood Is Feeling (2005)

Only thing i could find on this album
--- Quote ---Released in 2005, 'The Flood Is Feeling' is the debut full-length from Gainesville, Fl's Building The State. This 12-song, 43-minute album is flush with lush instrumentation that brings to mind The Appleseed Cast and Explosions In The Sky.

Punknews review of their more recent EP (that i wish i had):
--- Quote ---Over the course of their four-song EP, Faces in the Architecture, Building the State show that they can fearlessly adapt Appleseed Cast’s penchant for beautiful, billowing instrumentation and light, sung vocals partially relegated to the background.
Faces in the Architecture consistently works through its 19-minute running time because Building the State, well, build a cascading, mesmerizing atmosphere that entrances the listener with enough understated changes to retain their attention throughout. Justin Tzuanos sings in three of the four songs, but he appears often in those three, his perfectly flat delivery actually a great fit for everything. In the one instrumental, “Untitled II,” the band give way to dancing, slowly bouncing guitar chords that bring to mind American Football in the beginning before the mood changes to a downbeat, heartfelt flutter of post-rock meandering.
Building the State definitely produce one of the surprise efforts of the year with Faces in the Architecture. Updates on mid-`90s indie-emo stuff are few and far between, but Building the State are responsible for a notable one.

Pet Genius - Pet Genius (2007)
Once again read the quote and tell me how this could not be awesome.

--- Quote ---Much like Mike Patton's chameleon-like musical career, Stephen Brodsky has been consistently releasing albums with several projects for the better part of a decade. His most famous endeavor, Cave In, even had a musical metamorphosis of their own, going from intricate metal to Failure influenced space-rock to straight-up alt-rock then, finally, to a mix of all of the above. Pet Genius is the singer-songwriter's latest project and it also features members of Clouds, Octave Museum and the great Doomriders. The first thing that stands out on their self-titled album is the dirty guitar tones on "Doomsday." You can definitely point out some White Stripes and Rolling Stones influence in the riffing and note bends. Brodsky's vocals are informed by the bands that ruled FM rock in the early 70's. Who knew the guy had a Robert Plant-like wail waiting to jump out of his chest?!
The revisionism doesn't stop there. The band visit 60's psychedelia on "The Visiting Dynamiter," with its charming vocal melodies and acid-soaked guitar arrangement. But things do rock harder on tracks like "Man of the Mountain" and "Float My Boat." The spirit of latter day Beatles is found throughout, at least in terms of the experimentation. Unfortunately, these forays don't always hit the mark. They go too far into "cuckoo-land" on "Trash Heap Swing" where they come off sounding like a half-hearted Captain Beefheart cover band. But for the most part, Pet Genius is a successful journey with plenty of awarding hooks and a solid songwriting foundation.

If you haven't done anything wrong it's not aimed at you. The people know who they are. The main beef is people requesting when it is clearly stated not to.
