The MTV Unplugged concept was probably invented with someone like Florida singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba (aka Dashboard Confessional) in mind. Carrabba's relentlessly sad, impossibly frail acoustic songs - which effectively spawned the emo-core genre - have given alienated, cardigan-wearing guys and gals a snappy soundtrack to their pain. Dropping the heavily-inked guitarist amid his flock captures both the intimacy and awkwardness propelling Dashboard Confessional's best songs. Indeed, whether Carrabba is flying solo or is joined by a band, his MTV Unplugged - ranks as one of the most interactive sets ever; the fans know every single word to every single song and they sing their hearts out, sometimes completely hijacking the choruses. From opening number <i>Swiss Army Romance</i> through to <i>Screaming Infidelities</i>, the assembled holler themselves hoarse in a glassy-eyed solidarity that would be eerie if it weren't so sweet. The sing-along aspect might be a drawback for fans searching for pristine live versions of studio recordings, but then again, Dashboard Confessional's music is nothing if not communal.
