Daily Music Dose: Every Time I Die




The band was established by brothers Keith and Jordan Buckley, whose father, Michael Buckley, lectures Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo. They added to the initial lineup with guitarist Mike Justice, bassist John McCarthy, and drummer Michael "Ratboy" Novak. In their first short tour covering the Buffalo, New York and Toronto, Canada vicinities, the band met Goodfellow Records producer Chris Logan, who released the band's debut EP Burial Plot Bidding War in 2000. The following year, Aaron Ratajczak replaced McCarthy as bassist before the band released its debut full-length album Last Night In Town that year under Ferret Records, leading to a tour for that album in collaboration with Killswitch Engage the following year.

In 2003, Steven Micciche replaced Ratajczak as bassist for the band's second full-length Hot Damn! and the band's subsequent American tour supporting Jackass star Steve-O. However, Micciche resigned from his position in 2005, being replaced by Kevin Faulk of Between the Buried and Me fame. However, three months after recording sessions for the band's third album Gutter Phenomenon, he was replaced by Chris Byrnes of NORA, who left the band after touring with them at the Warped Tour 2006.Their sixth bassist, Keller Harbin of The Chariot, replaced Byrnes and played with the band for its tour with Atreyu on the World Championship Tour along with From First to Last and Chiodos. The band was featured on the 2007 Sounds Of The Underground tour. Former Shiner guitarist and From Autumn To Ashes bassist, Josh Newton, was inducted in September 2007 as the band's seventh bassist for a tour with Underoath.

In 2006, their song "The New Black" was featured as a bonus track in Guitar Hero 2 and also in the PlayStation 3 game MotorStorm. The band performed the song "We'rewolf" live on the ABC late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live on Halloween of 2007. From January-February 2008, Every Time I Die went on a tour with Killswitch Engage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Parkway Drive. They also headlined the Take Action Tour, playing alongside From First to Last, August Burns Red, The Bled, and The Human Abstract. The band played the entire Warped Tour 2008.

At their February 09 show with Underoath and Poison The Well in Auckland, New Zealand, Keith announced on stage that we can expect a new album this year. Every Time I Die entered the studio on March 23 to begin recording their Epitaph Records debut. The effort is being tracked with producer/engineer Steve Evetts (Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan) in Anaheim, California and is expected to hit stores this fall.

Daily Music Dose: New Found Glory

Band You Should Be Listening To, But Probably Aren't.




New Found Glory (often abbreviated NFG) is an American pop punk band hailing from South Florida, now based in Los Angeles. The band consists of Jordan Pundik (vocals), Chad Gilbert (guitar), Steve Klein (guitar), Ian Grushka (bass) and Cyrus Bolooki (drums).

Since forming back in 1997 the band have amassed a cult following, so far releasing six studio albums, with their latest, Not Without a Fight, released on March 10, 2009.




In the 12 years they’ve been a band, New Found Glory have sold millions of albums, logged hundreds of thousands of road miles, and influenced an entire generation of bands whose sounds range from emo to pop-punk to hardcore and beyond. Yet despite the fame, despite the platinum records, and despite the fact that their fan base includes bands who’ve gone platinum multiple times over in their own genres, New Found Glory remain the same five friends who started making music because there was nothing better to do in the Florida suburbs that spawned them.

Okay, so they’ve grown up a little, and one listen to the new From the Screen to Your Stereo Part 2 shows just how much. A sequel to the band’s similarly titled 2000 EP for Drive-Thru, From the Screen to Your Stereo,  Part 2 finds New Found Glory drawing on the matured arranging skills that made their 2006 album Coming Home a critical success. Featuring contributions from some of the bigger names NFG have influenced (members of Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday and Cartel, to name but three), Part 2 is the sound of a band and their supporting crew all playing at the top of their game.

While New Found Glory may have come farther than even they could’ve imagined, the band sounds most proud of the fact that the band have charted their career path just they made their latest album: for the love of the music, and on their own terms.

A concert tour, "Not Without A Fight", is planned to run from March 25, 2009 to June 10, 2009. Plans include 49 performances: 41 in North America and 8 in Europe.

Daily Music Dose: Farewell

Farewell





Say hello to FAREWELL; a group that’s on a mission to put the fun back into rock. Ascending from a small town saturated in metal and hardcore, the southern-based sextet set out to carve their own niche with a unique blend of lighthearted power-pop.

Hailing from Greensboro,North Carolina natives Marshall Davis (vocals), Chris Lee (keyboard, vocals), Kevin Carter (guitar), Wil Andrews (guitar), Buddy Bell (bass) and Jeff Ellis (drums) met while living in Greensboro and were immediately bonded by their shared love of music and distaste for school and jobs. In an effort to escape sheer boredom, they began playing music together and in turn created Farewell in 2004. Drawing on a wide range of influences (Beach Boys to Greenday), the group crafted a tight upbeat pop-rock sound, which was a far cry from the scene that dominated their town.

The pop-punk sextet released their first EP, Poisoning the Lark, in 2005 with the Forsaken label. Farewell incorporated keyboards and layered vocals into the traditional rock penchant for dueling guitars over a rhythm section, a mixture that worked well for the band, eventually hooking the interest of the independent beacon of the punk revival, Epitaph Records, after a string of Eastern U.S. shows. Epitaph released Farewell's debut full-length, Isn't This Supposed to Be Fun!?, in the fall of 2007.

Isn’t This Supposed To Be Fun!? boasts buoyant melodies, scintillating synth and quirky lyrics for an energetic and rollicking, energetic good time. With the super catchy sing along “Stay Pretty” and the piano popping “War” among others, (as well as my personal favorite "Eighty-Eights" Farewell captures a spirit of unparalleled youth and vigor on their debut release.

Daily Music Dose: St Valentines Massacre

St Valentines Massacre

Photobucket

We're allowed to do shameless promotions, right? (ha-ha) One of the most popular metal bands in the state of Florida, St Valentines Massacre (there is no period at the end of St and there is no apostrophe in Valentines) hails from deep in the swampy regions of south Florida, a place where demons and angels both dwell in shrouded forms familiar to the human eye, forms which can be deceiving and conducive to trickery, comes a group of five young soldiers fighting for righteousness throughout the galaxy. This group of elite musical warriors goes by the name of St Valentines Massacre. All five members of this band of renegade aural angels hails from different backgrounds, all which directly influence their multicultural flavorful contributions to the musical force as a whole.

Compromised of Paul Starr (gutiars, vocals), Tony Rodriquez (screaming), Tyler Jordan (gutiar, backing vocals), Alan Olshefski (bass) and newest member Jeremy Suarez (drums) the band recently signed to Megaforce/MRI Labels. For those of you at home playing the 'why should I care?' game, Megaforce is responsible for releasing albums from such artists as Metallica's first two albums, Anthrax, Mushroomhead, Ministry, and more. In addition, through MRI they will be distributed through Sony/RED, and their full length debut album coming in Summer 2009 will be available online through Amazon, BestBuy, Fye, iTunes, Hot Topic, and in select retailers nationwide.

St Valentines Massacre (or SVM, as they are affectionally called) are a rag-tag group of renegades formed from the most bizarre musical auras on the planet, and combined into one massively powerful force. A force that will one day take over the world with their sheer sonic prowess, their powerful riffs, their heart pounding beats and their passionate words that seep into your soul and set it ablaze. St Valentines Massacre is not going anywhere, and its force of loyal followers is only growing by the hundreds every day. It is useless and futile to fight it; you must embrace your destiny. Like it or not, they are taking over.

The band is currently in the studio (also known as the back of Tony's house which has been converted into a studio) recording their debut album Awakening, due out June 9, 2009 and are currently finishing up the mixing and mastering! A record release show is planned for sometime in June, as well as a tour through the summer and fall to promote the album.

All the press-stuff aside, these boys are my best friends. They are the guys who will get drunk with you (or for you for us straight-edge kids), play a show that drenches them and the crowd in sweat, and invite you to Denny's after the show. It's been a pleasure, and an honor watching them grow, and I hope you find that they are as equally musically pleasing as they are personably pleasing.
Happy Listening!

Here is the band performing an early cut of their song Eulogy

Pay Me No Attention

She's the girl in the back
That blends in with the crowd.
The one that you're forced to make tag along

A girl so filled with self-doubt, she can't tell who is genuine anymore.
She's sure they all are, but has been walked on too many times to trust anyone.
She's unloved, unimpressive, unwanted.

Every hug, every glance; she takes it the wrong way.
She loved those two seconds you paid attention to her. But she mistook it for something more. In two seconds she imagined what it would be like to be in your arms forever. It was a beautiful picture.

But you're drunk and you move on to the next person in your party, another drink in your hand.

She'll go to bed tonight, remembering how warm you made her feel. How you made her insides flutter for a second. Maybe for the first night in a while she will sleep peacefully. Maybe tonight she won't cry herself to sleep.

She dreamt of you the other night, the first time she ever had. In real life, she would have easily said she wasn't into you that way. But her subconscious kicked in, and now has her thinking.

Thinking of what it would be like for just one kiss.
Thinking of what it would be like for a hug that lasted longer than usual.
No, thinking of a hug that was given with real meaning behind it, not just because you and her are pals.

She's so tired of being alone.
So tired of living in her head.
So tired of being the only one in the room without a hand to hold or someone to put their arm over her shoulders.
She wants to be like the characters she writes about. Strong, independent, and so hot that no guy in the room can resist her.

But she never will be.
She will never have that confidence in herself.
She will never tell you any of this either.

Because you'll never look at her the same. And you'll probably laugh at her, and you'll never feel the same.

To You

I don't want to leave you a bitchy comment. In fact, I even want to apologize. True, many of the things I said were out of line, and hurtful. I didn't entirely think things through before posting something I didn't think anyone would find. Buzznet used to be the one place I thought I could say things, and when I posted some stupid journals on my site, the internet broke. Everyone attacked me, knocking me down to nothing. Since then, I was walking on egg-shells. Everything I was writing was being watched by the hawks that were the internet police.

I was ranting. Everyone has their own ways of ranting. Some people do it artistically, while others mouth off, saying (in this case typing) the first thing that comes to their mind. Was I upset at that time? Yes. Does the 'system' still piss me off? Of course.

However, I do not think every photo you take is shitty. There are plenty of amazing ones that you have taken. Do I think mine is OMGUGUISEAMAZING. Absolutely not. I have the worst self-esteem about my work, sometimes even hesitant to post something. You have a following of thrushes (that's not a word) of people who admire your work, and look up to you for their inspiration, just like I look to Todd for mine. Some of your shots are brilliant, while others slip, just like everyone else.

I was just getting kinda mad at the admins that not only some of yours, but other shots from users were getting featured. Many people have posted their thoughts on it; posted their thoughts on the badges, the 'favoritism', and the elitism that Buzznet turned into. Yes, I am guilty of all that, just as much as many other people on this site.

The post on livejournal wasnt meant to shake you down. It was more of me ranting at the Buzznet system, but like everyother journal or twitter or anything I post, people pick and choose what they want to read from it, and harp on that.

One of the comments made on the Live Jounal went something like this:

You're an utter and complete bitch, stop whining just because no one likes your shitty photography. No wonder everyone on buzznet seems to hate you. You're disgusting.

Who ever wrote that pretty much hit the nail on the head. I don't know who you are, and pretty sure I never will know, but it's a sad reality when something like that hits you in the face.

This really truely saddens and angers me. I'm so disappointed that someone I really admired wrote something like this about someone with talent, JUST A DIFFERENT KIND OF TALENT AND STYLE then herself. Really, please try to think about people's feelings, you do realize that people have emotions other than anger right? And do not even go and complain about how many featured photos you have, that's bull shitty complaining. Take a step back and look at yourself. Please and thank you.

I didnt think about who it would affect, like I said, I was sure no one knew I had one. It was my little place to vent accordingly; about my life, about friends, about everything. But, someone went and found it and things blew up.

Sara, you do have talent. You are a great photographer. You have ideas and an eye for things that I could never imagine having. You capture things that I, and even others, could never get. And now, with your new camera, I hope to see more of it from you. Every one of you has talent, in some way shape or form. Some of you are brilliant writers, some of you take stunning photos, others make wonderful videos.

So, I guess to finish this up, Sara, I am sorry for what I said. I know we put the past behind us once, and this is by no means an out-cry to make ammends again. Continue to be you, and don't let people like me who rant on life all day bring you down.

To everyone else: I am sorry if I offended you in anyway. I'm going to go with what the one commenter said and presume that all of you hate me, of which I can understand. I've never tried to make any of you think otherwise of me, and from what I have done in the past few months, you all have every right to do so.

I hope all of you have a drama-free 2009, and I hope that you guys continue to support Sara, and the other people here on Buzznet, aside from myself for obvious reasons. I'm sorry for taking up your time.

Top 10 most played songs on my Itunes in 2008

According to this list, it sounds like I only listened to 7 bands all year...



10. Forever The Sickest Kids-My Worst Nightmare (182)


After seeing this band a total of four times in 2008, I was absolutely head over heels with them This is why they dominate my play-list multiple times. During the Sassy Back tour where they supported Cobra Starship, this was the song the band opened with.

Favorite Lyrics:

Never did, never did I ever love anyone other than you
But secretly I always want to see you cry
So I push you until you do


9. The Maine- Everything I Ask For (196)



Ah, The Maine. The band that dominated Buzznet in 2008. They toured on Warped Tour, with Boys Like Girls, and just recently with All Time Low. Everywhere I turned this year I saw The Maine, and lets face it, they aren't that bad to look at either.

Before this song became the band's most recent single, I was dancing around my room like a nutcase.

Favorite Lyrics:

Fist fights turn into sex
I wonder what comes next
She loves to always keeps me guessin' (guessin')
And she (she) won't (won't) give it up
And we (we) won't (won't), no
it's because...


8. The Academy Is- The Test (209)



I could have easily been listening to Almost Here for the past million years. And maybe I'm the only person who liked Fast Times At Barrigton High. I think it's because of this song. And 'After The Last Midtown Show.' So, I'm a sucker for TAI...

Favorite Lyrics:

Heart on a hook thrown out to the sea,
Your basement busy.
Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a
Phone call you’ll likely miss.
Wake me when it’s over.
The last sound of goodbye.


7. Fall Out Boy- I Don't Care (312)



Okay, second favorite band of all time (the first being Midtown). How could anyone not listen to FOB's I Dont Care? Everytime you turned on MTV it was there, or when you logged on Buzznet, someone had posted it.

Favorite Lyrics

Oh take a chance, let your body get a tolerance
I'm not a chance, put a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette
Pawnshop heart trading up (trading up)

On the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist
Sweat it out, shut your mouth
free love on the streets but
in the alley it ain't that cheap, now


6. The Cab- Risky Business (378)



The new Nsync. It's that simple. Granted, Justin Timberlake isnt shorter than me, with a mole on his face, but these new comers are quickly latching onto every tour. Cobra Starship, The Hush Sound, Rock Band Live. I've seen the Cab about 6 times this year. What?

Favorite Lyrics

Stop asking, keep dancing



5. Fall Out Boy- What A Catch, Donnie (401)



Fall Out Boy makes their second appearance on the list. I dont usually cry over songs. My muscial ADD will kick in and I will turn a song off before I get attached. But, as much as I love this song, I hate it all the same. The reprise of all the FOB songs at the end, sung by various Decaydance members brings me to tears (I'm good until Alex DeLeon bursts out with 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs'). It seems like Fall Out Boy is passing the torch onto acts like The Cab, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is an Panic At the Disco. They paved the way for these acts, Pete signed them to Decaydance, and now its their turn. DNW to lose Fall Out Boy. Thanks

Favorite Lyrics:

[Gabe Saporta:]
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing
[Travis McCoy:]
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swinging
[Brendon Urie:]
Dance, dance, we're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance, and these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
[Doug Does:]
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
[Alex DeLeon:]
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you, only sweeter
[William Beckett:]
Growing up, growing up


4. Forever The Sickest Kids- She's a Lady (659)



Appearance #2 on the 'countdown', and there is still one more to go. The second, most recognizable song of Underdog Alammater, did not go unlistend to in 2008. Come on, they even made it a catchy rubber braclet.

Favorite Lyrics:

Take off your shoes, come in the room
And baby, let's try not to argue.
Turn out the lights, turn on the radio
And how can we fight when I'm too busy loving you?


3. Farewell- Eighty Eights (709)




Probably the least recgonizable band on the list, North Carolina natives Farewell carved their way into my heart. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. And seeing as I listened to it what seems like a billion times, I still love it suprisingly.

Favorite Lyrics

Because we’re givin it up 
but we’ll be just fine
we’re gonna go, go, go
to the next state line
and we’re livin it up
leave it all behind
and we’ll say goodnight
to a closing skyline

with all the addicts and indies around this town
and the geeks, and the mods, and the tate street clowns
we gotta get out somehow
yeah well we gotta get out somehow
from all the dive bars and rock stars
that plague this place
to the thugs and the bums
that get in your face
and all the bullshit and drama
that can’t be erased
yeah we gotta get out somehow

2. Forever The Sickest Kids- Whoa Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone) (721)



We've made it. Number two! Once again, FTSK dominated. (For the record, thats my favorite picture of Caleb I've taken. Just sayin...omnomnom) Moving on, the first single off Underdog Almamatar rocked. You've probable never seen the video either. Their at the airport raceway? Everyone's having fun? Good God, people, stop listening to Tokio Hotel....

Favorite Lyrics:

I've got friends in highly low places
It's been a long time, it's been a long time
And maybe baby, you can rise above the rest and meet me, yeah


1. Sing It Loud- Best Beating Heart- (749)



*drumroll* And the number one most listened to song on Christine's itunes is.... Sing it Loud's Best Beating Heart. The sad part is, I only downloaded it a few months ago. And it already has THAT many plays. I listened to the song briefly before seeing the band in November on the Sassyback Tour, but since then, I think thats all I've listend to.

Favorite Lyrics:

She says I’ve got the best beating heart in the world
And it makes her want to twirl around until she hit’s the ground

We lay with not a word to say
Alone, we’ll wait ‘til something’s wrong
With faces pressed against the wall
(Our hands are bracing for the fall)
Lets show the world what we are about, without a fall

106.7 XL'LENT ELECTRIC XMAS-12/12- Orlando, FL




I am biased.

Yes.

Sue me.

Where does one begin on the complete epic-ness that was the 106.7 XL'LENT ELECTRIC XMAS concert at the House Of Blues in Orlando, FL? Where do I turn off the inner fan-girl dance party to write a review that is both entertaining and informative? I don't know. And personally, I Don't Care. (Oh, CWIDT?!)

I digress....

Before I begin gushing on how tight Fall Out Boy's performance was, or how William Beckett looks like he has toothpicks for legs (jokes, kids), I have to tell you that this was a charity-event show. For the 17th year XL 106.7 are helping the children of Central Florida expierence the magic of Christmas with their Baby DJ Program. Each year, along with the help of the people of Central Florida, they collect toys and distribute them to families that otherwise wouldn't have a Christmas. Last year, they helped nearly 5,000 kids with toys, food, trees... and proceeds from ticket sales went to buy the extra toys that people did not donate, with the economy the way it is.




Okay, now the juicy stuff.

After standing it what could be considered the longest line I had ever seen at the House of Blues (seriously, it was completely wrapped around the building) we finally got through the craziness and mom and I made our way up to the balcony. There was no room in the pit, and there was still a mile-long line behind us. In all honesty, I think they over-sold tickets. Kids packed in like sardines, but were still surprisingly calm while waiting.




After horrible Top-40 music being played to "set the mood," We The Kings took the stage at exactly 7pm.  The Bradenton, FL quartet played for about a half hour, and their set-list included:

Stay Young
Woah
Skyway Avenue
All Again For You
Secret Valentine
Check Yes, Juliet

The left the stage at exactly 7:27. Seriously, I was keeping track of all of this. They were fun, ate up the fan-girl screams, and left just as quickly as they appeared.





The Academy Is... were quick to follow, taking the stage at 7:52. Their set-list included:

Summer Hair= Forever Young
Slow Down ( Which included a cameo by Mr. Peter Wentz, screaming as he does, and concluded with a hug and a cheek smooch. Fangirls went crazy.)
Neighbors
Checkmarks
The Phrase That Pays
Rumored Nights
Classifieds
Everything We Had
The Test (with cameo by Cassadee from Hey Monday)
We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands
About A Girl

They only played for about an hour, but to be totally honest, no one seemed like they wanted to be there. William Beckett stomped around stage like a 3-year-old Mick Jagger having a temper tantrum. He jumped off speakers, high enough to break his neck if he landed wrong, and barely talked between songs. I think he needs a nap. He needs to go home, spend some time off the stage, and relax. I think the touring 300 days a year took its toll this year.

Mike Carden seemed to be in high-spirits, strangely. He was smiling, laughing. Quite out of character for Mr Carden.

And the curtains closed.

And they stayed closed. For what seemed like forever. My mom stood next to me, poking me. Trying to get the inner-fan-girl to emerge. She was already squealing with excitement on the inside.

It had been over a year since I last saw Fall Out Boy. It was November 1, 2007 on the Young Wild Things tour at the UCF Arena in Orlando. Here I was on December 12, 2008 the most excited I had ever been for a Fall Out Boy show. So much had happened in the year between.

Pete Wentz had gotten married and had a baby. Patrick Stump had produced his ass off for Cobra Starship, The Cab, Tyga and countless others. Joe Trohman had grown an amazing fro, proposed to his girlfriend, and seemed to learn some even sicker riffs. Andy Hurley got more tattoos, discovered Twitter, and brought us the glory that is Fuck City. (totally Off Topic, but how adorable is Mixon? Seriously...)




The band took the stage at 9:11.

No flashy lights.
No ramps.
No costumes.
No decorations.

Just them.

In all their glory.

The band that had toured out of their beat up vans promoting Take This To Your Grave, and even earlier, Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, were back. And I lost it. The show was like seeing your best friends. Yes, that sounds unbeliveably creepy, but sometimes, to me they were. They were there for me when no one else wasn't. Lyrics seemed to help ease the pain, or make the day better. And here they were.

Not in an arena.

On stage at the House of Blues. Quite possibly one of the smallest venues I had seen them in in almost 2 years.

Their set-list was:
Thnk Fr Th Mmrs
Thriller
A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me
The Takeover, The Breaks Over
Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner
I Don't Care (With appearance by Bill Beckett, and more cheek kisses)
Chicago is So Two Years Ago
I'm Like a Lawyer
(A song I believe was "Lullaby")
This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race
Grand Theft Autumn/ Where Is Your Boy (with appearance by Travis of We The Kings)
I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy (And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me)
Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet
Beat It (though someone from the crowd requested "Tell That Mick")
America's Suitehearts (With Cassadee from Hey Monday)
A quick rendition of Estelle and Kanye West's "American Boy"  (So good!)
Sugar We're Going Down
Yule Shoot You're Eye Out
Dance Dance
Saturday

And oh, there were antics. More like Pete Wentz-isms throughout the night. I have a couple of notes written down, and I can vaguely remember the situations:

* Pete talked about RPattz and Twilight. (Sorry, but even PW talking about Twilight does not make me want to read/see it.)

* "We are not a Rock and Roll Band. We want to be evangelists. We want to heal you. Put the spirit in you." He then went all baptist-minister on two or three people in the crowd asking them what their biggest problem was, and told them to face it with "I DON'T CARE" (Obvious intro to "I Don't Care")

* When introducing "I'm Like a Lawyer" Pete talked about Friends and how the "next song is about wanting to be someone's Lobster", to which Patrick had no idea what he was talking about, and was "kinda glad I don't know what you're talking about right now I think.."

* A girl in the audience flipped Pete off:
"What was the middle finger for? Are you having a good time, or was it just because?.... No....no not you, the peroxide princess behind you...(OHHHH) What's the problem? Why are you mad? You're mad at me? What did I do?" There was something about Teen Angst or whatever and he went on to talk about how "I was like that for 29 years. Seventeen days ago, that all changed. And you know what my wife said to me? She looked at me, right in the eye and said..." I SLEPT WITH SOMEONE IN FALL OUT BOY AND ALL I GOT....."

*OMG! PATRICK TOLD A STORY!!!!!!!!! "Pete wants me to talk more on stage. But I never have good stories. Except this one. See, my family doesn't talk much, we're all really quiet. I have a cousin. I don't even know if she knows how to speak to be honest with you. But the other day, my aunt comes up to me and goes 'So, I know you and her don't talk much, and she's never been to one of your shows....but for Christmas, can you get her Panic! At The Disco tickets....' Um...."
Pete: "Does she know they wear flowered shirts now? They have a cabin in the woods. They called me one time and we're all 'oh, come up here and smoke some wacky tobaccy with us...."
Patrick: "I don't think she cares. But... she's never been to one of our shows...."

The night gets a solid A+. Photos not included, as everyone in the PR industry seems to hate me and cant hook a sister up with a photo pass. :(

The only down-side to the show was during "Saturday" a boy who was crowd-surfing when Pete jumped in the crowd (who he also passed the mic to) was taken by the throat by security and choked against a wall. I'm sure if PW would have seen it, he would have went nuts (as he has done before) but it happened behind him, and happened so fast. THe kid was, like, grabbing the security guys wrist to let him go. I was scared for the kid. (If he reads this, I hope you're okay...)

Hi Buzznet. I'm Christine

I was looking at Amanda's picture in how she divulged so much about herself. I would have commented on there, but, I really wanted to put this up here.

I was born at 9:24 in the morning.
I'm from New York.

I hate my birthday.
I love fall and winter months.
I thrive on going to shows.
My favorite food is Italian.
I hate people looking over my shoulder when I'm doing something.
I am my worst critic.
I love photographing bands.
I never met my dads biological mom(she died when he was 6).
I never got to meet my dad step-mom. (She died before I was born).
My grandfather fought in WWII and had captured a Nazi flag, gun, and
Hitler Youth Knife. I never got to ask him how.

I turned down one of the biggest opportunities of my life for a job I don't even have anymore.

In the 6th grade I wanted to be a cheerleader. I never made it to the try-outs because I realized I would never be one.

It's twelve o'clock and I need your attention

Its just a shitty time over here right now.

I lost my job on Friday due to slow business. And seeing as I was the last one to get hired, I am the first to get laid off.

Then my dad called and said he is losing his job because they are shipping his job overseas to India (as many jobs are).

Unfortunately, in the divorce agreement, he is supposed to pay for the mortgage because he caused it. But, if he doesn't have a job, he cant pay.

You know, you watch the news and see all the other families being torn apart by job loss and foreclosure, and you think that it couldn't happen to you.

I'm a statistic now.

I'm in that percentage of Americans that are losing everything.

I spent Friday night on Monster.com looking at jobs. Its fucked up man....

Do you know what its like to go to bed not knowing how long you're going to be able to sleep in your room? You start thinking of what you have that is any value that you can sell.

I know what its like to have the water turned off.
I know what its like to have the electricity turned off.

I've peeled my drunk father off the driveway where he passed out at 5 in the morning more times then I can count.
I've heard my father drunkenly threaten to kill my mother, call her a cunt, and look me right in the eyes and tell me she was brain washing me.

I know what its like to have to give up college because you need to get a job and be an adult. To have to keep food on the table, the lights on, and a roof over your head. (memo to my ex friend who told me I was immature and would never grow up? Fuck you.)

I know what its like to stay at a job I hate to make some cash.

I know what its like to turn down the biggest opportunity of your life because of said job.

But, here I am. Jobless.

Soon to be homeless.

It's a scary thought...

Warped Tou---....*gets trampled*

I Dont Care - Fall Out Boy

Hey
Remember Us?


We're the girls who did this and cause Buzznet World War I.

And yes, we know you still hate us for thinking of it before you did. Shame on us!

But, its that time of year again, where you all get to bash us, tell us we're not professional, and how horrible we are as human beings.

Or, maybe you just do that to me. Amanda posted something and everyone seemed to not notice.

(Wait, you're lurking me? YOU LIKE ME! Admit it!!)

But, we grew up, Mommy. We get to sit at the big kid's table now!

We did some more stuff since our last post. Jealous? We know, we know.

Christine:



Don't like it? Just remember, every comment you leave on this journal is one more comment we get. And every time you hit feature, that number goes up. Just saying. You made us famous.




''
















We Thank You

Oh, and while you're here, go tell Mark, Bree, and Rich how much you love us, or hate is in the population that you are. I'm sure they'll agree. That Bree, let me tell you, she hates my guts. God. And Rich? He wants to stab me in the eyes with rusty spoons. Mark beats me when I post things like this.

So, use this time to tell us how much we fail at life, and how much you don't want us to go on that measely tour. I'm gonna watch the Rays and Phillies (For the record, 3-0 Rays in top of the fourth).

Peace.




Or... Well....Not....
