stop making plans, start making sense

i apologize for the lateness of this post: the academy is... has two new songs from their upcoming cd "fast times at barrington high" (out aug. 19th) posted on their myspace. GO LISTEN.

i'll admit, "about a girl" sounds far better live (and is more fun w/o the production-y sound they beckett's voice has going on the recorded version). i lovelovelove "summer hair forever young" even though it is a tad cliche... the youth group totes covered a song by a similar title (forever young) . but it's ok. i loved it the moment i heard it live @ warped in pomona and i have no qualms about expressing my love for it now.

as kmac and i discussed earlier-- for the naysayers who say the sound is too poppy: it's actually incredibly hard to write a really great pop song. ppl need to stop hating on things just because they're undeniably catchy. JUST GIVE IN TO THE POP. I MEAN JT DID IT AND LOOK AT HOW AWESOME HE IS. SEE ALSO: RIHANNA. ok? thx.

"or, if you don't care about quality, it's on our myspace, too." oh beckett, you cracks me up.
