2) a four piece band formed in 2004 in Columbus Ohio

1) Thirty Ought Six was founded in 1992 by Sean Roberts (bass, vocals), David Blunk (guitar) and Ryan Paravecchio (drums). Roberts moved to Portland, Oregon in 1991 from Arlington, Virginia and had already been working with Paravecchio for several months when Blunk moved to Portland from Washington, DC in 1992 to join the band.

Thirty Ought Six (or "30.06") combined the proto-emo sound of the Dischord label bands Roberts and Blunk had admired in Washington, DC with the textured, contrapuntal style of bands like Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine and the dynamics of groups like the Pixies or the Wedding Present.

Note To Self
Thirty Ought Six Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thrown in the mix choice not all yours
Exploding thoughts you cant ignore
Breathing heavy under attack
About commitment got you thinking back
30ot6 running through your head
Were gonna be in there until your dead
Dont make me sing this shit all by myself
So scream along, because we need your helpwe need some help

We got the beat that makes you go fuck x4

I guess I will have to show the way, thats why I say

A piece a paper note to self, here we go again
Dont let them forget what theyve heard keep it in their heads

Follow me now advantage out of sight
Locked on target, and holding tight
30ot now flowing through your veins
With point of no return still attainedas ground is gained.

We got the beat that makes you go fuck x4

I guess I will have to show the way, thats why I say

A piece of paper note to self here we go again
A different shade of cleanliness all the same in the end
A piece of paper note to self I need help

Mega:
The bombs are dropping now, cause they need our help
The action of what is right, the truth, and what is not

A piece of paper note to self I need help again
The red, the dirt inside tone, rubbing raw against heads

A piece of paper note to self, forward progress, a dead end
A piece of paper note to self I need help
