more on fts here.

YAYYYYYYY pretty much one of my favorite songs off of dying to say this to you.

though you're broken and defeated, your weary widow marches on

i've got a midterm coming up, so no photos for awhile. bear with me.

in the meantime, get my chem's new album and put it on repeat, because that's what i'm going to be doing for the foreseeable future.

i still don't know how i feel about the killers' album. i love "when you were young" but i'm all up in the air about the other songs. hrm. then again, i loved hot fuss SOMUCH that maybe it's just an unattainable standard that i have for them.

anyway, just wanted to assure yall that i am, in fact, alive. and also that if it were up to me.. i would be ryan ross for halloween. rosevest, theatrical + flamboyant makeup and all. a girl can dream, right?

step into my quiet violence

[something corporate - bamboozle left - cal poly pomona - october 14, 2006]

so i'm not really happy with most of the photos (posted the rest here), since hi, lighting was ridiculous. ridic BAD. red lighting = bad. lighting not on andrew = bad. lighting not on the rest of the band = triple hxc bad. i wish i had more photos of josh and bob but josh was just ooc.

but the show was magical. it was worth being almost crushed. and singing bgvs by myself.

holler at e and her first soco show!

I CANNOT WAIT TILL THE BLACK PARADE COMES OUT ON THE 24TH.

and now i am going to sleep.

nothing rhymes with circus

lol, i blog from the library now.

hrmm so that's what panic! at the disco ended up naming their tour..

some other names that were being thrown around [courtesy of my jm friends, who deserve pretty much all of the credit]:
- more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better **** tour
- intermission tour [shortest name ever]
- can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid tour
- keep telling yourself that i'm a diva tour
- wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it tour
- with a sense of poise and rationality tour

i've never felt so lost, i've never felt so much at home

went to both dates of bamboozle left (left earlyyyy on sunday though). semi-photo update later this week of something corporate, permanent me, and the outline.

day one:
cobra starship- can we talk about how brilliant his motto is? "throw yr fangs up"?! and then seeing like a billion people do that back at him. ridic.
gym class heroes- travis brought sexy back.
hellogoodbye- as e says, their sound translates surprisingly well live. forrest screaming "welcome to the black parade" is probably something i'll remember for awhile.
jacks --> something corporate- we're not even going to talk about that right now.

day two:
permanent me- so awes and justin is so nice. i was being spazzy and awkward though.
the audition- pretty awesome. lolscenequeen spotted onstage.
the outline- ran over from the audition thinking we had 5 minutes. nope.. they were hitting their opening notes just as we rolled in. faves. always better live than on cd. "in light of recent news" sped up was perfect.

my only qualm- i don't like people who get photo passes and they have cams smaller than mine. i'm sorry but regular digital cams that can fit in your pocket are not worthy of a photo pass. i'm sure all the people with D-SLR cams probably look at mine and think the same thing, but seriously people. regular digital cameras are not photo pass worthy! >: o
[yes, i am ranting b/c i didn't get one. bamboozle needs to get on top of that shizz.]

the decay of a former stone heart

apparently, we at forthesound love stolen transmission and i didn't even know.
bright light fever stream
the oohlas stream
my friend lianne's monty are i interview with ryan muir (guitar, horns, vocals).

so permanent me is next, right?

UM ALSO JUST TO ADD SOME OF MY HORRIBLY INSIGNIFICANT THOUGHTS ON LIFE..
wouldn't it be amazing if everyone knew how to spell? i could stop having a spazz attack every time i see a typo. haha
what would also be amazing is if i could actually retain more of the things i read. i think my brain is full.

always love, hate will get you every time

i need to sleep but you wanna hear the greatest thing ever?
yes, you do.

someone ended up on this blog by googling "pictures of emo kids getting punched in the face." LOL.
why so much hate? i love scene/emo kids.

PRETTY MUCH THE GREATEST VIDEO EVER MADE.
dresden dolls v. panic! at the disco - backstabber.



myspace bulletin "explaining" the video if you didn't know already..
While on tour together this summer, The Dresden Dolls teamed up with headliners Panic! At The Disco to film a video for The Dolls newest single, "Backstabber."

Midway through the tour, DD's Amanda Palmer had a revelation, "Why not make a video with these guys? They're here, they're bored like we are, they're hilarious." She shared in her online blog. "We aren't making a 'real' video for our next single,' She proclaimed. "'What's more real than this?' We keep asking. Nothing."

"It's not something that's going to be an official release to go to MTV, it's just that we were on tour with them and they came up with this idea to kind of do a funny thing." Panic! At The Disco's drummer, Spencer Smith, recently told online publication, Undercover. "It was just something that we were having fun doing at the time while being on tour and just something I guess for the fans of either of our bands to kinda see. It's just a fun bonus thing."
"People are just arrogant and ignorant." Panic! frontman Brendon Urie told dose.ca midway into the tour regarding inspiration for the video. "We're actually going to make a movie with the Dresden Dolls about that one thing [the fans fighting] to kind of poke fun at our fans for not being nice to each other."

Call it what you will -- the tour is over, the smoke has cleared, the video is done, and it's time for you to see...
