I found a version of “Migraine” captured in The Live Room and to be entirely honest, I like almost cried the first time I heard it. This band is absolutely perfect.

I can’t get enough of this band. The chorus totally hits home and makes this their Warped Tour anthem; every band who plays Warped has the one new song that people know and scream along to, even if just walking by, and this is it

Every single tune on this album is special and fun and holds a special place in my heart- there’s not one song I ever skip. The rarity of that is something I don’t think I’ll ever find again any time soon. They’re just such a talented band and everything they do, I fall in love with.

I am sick of the “we’re young and whatever” anthems because they’re so friggin’ stupid it hurts. No, you’re not still young. Shut up, you’re growing up. Plus, she’s gotten way older (older than Adele- WHAAAT) and should let it sink in that she’s no longer a teen and can’t get away with stuff like this.

Being a big fan of acoustic and stripped down music (Bon Iver, Oberst, flatsound), I think that this is the greatest thing B&C has ever released. Two guitars and three guys have never sounded so perfect. Something about the vocals and the way they build is just so beautiful.

He used to be in the band Alexisonfire- who I’d heard of multiple times and passed by on one or two Warped Tour stages. It was always a matter of laziness when it came to becoming a fan of Green. I would hear little clips here and there, even a few full-length tunes. It’s not that I didn’t like it- I most certainly did- but it was never the right time, I guess.

This is the best release of their entire career; the passion and lyrics, the musicianship and talent. Every detail is fascinating and you can feel the energy- it’s like you can tell that the band had a damn good time making the album. That’s been lacking and now that Fall Out Boy is back, they’re better than they were in the first place.

“ Our beloved drummer Tony Thaxton has decided to leave the band. We really hate to see him go, but we fully support him in his choice and wish him the absolute best in the future. Tony’s contribution to the band over the last 11+ years was immeasurable,…”

It’s not surprising when you find another CT-based local hardcore band- they seem to be a dime a dozen these days. You end up running into the same riffs and the same sounds- it’s a rut that a lot of younger bands get stuck in. It’s disappointing, but really the norm. However, what’s not so typical is the band Senseless.

They did an acoustic version of “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark” and it’s a thousand times better than the original. The studio version is too over-edited and kind of obnoxious; I mean I still like it, but this is far superior.

Now, this film seems like a pretty lame kid’s film, but I can assure you it is a truly great work of art. The budget was $215 million; it’s a pretty lofty goal, but worth it for the gorgeous scenery and special effects. It made me jump a few times, which is rare

As for the video, I kind of don’t even want to mention it. It’s pretty boring. The only plus is the cuteness of the boys. The story doesn’t really hold anyone’s attention because it’s too subtle and mediocre.

The chorus is what really hit me: “And at once I knew, I was not magnificent. Strayed above the highway aisle (jagged vacance, thick with ice), I could see for miles.” This line here is one of the best the man’s ever written.

I’d never heard of this festival until today, when I was told that I’m going to be there the first night! After screaming a little over the fact that that meant I’d be seeing FALL OUT BOY, I decided to look up who else I’ll be seeing that day.

“And though I know that my actions are impossible to justify, they seem adequate to fill up my time. But if I could talk to myself like I was someone else, well then maybe I could take your advice and I wouldn’t act like such an asshole all the time”

The band’s even more annoying than I remembered. William’s voice in the opening couple seconds left a bad taste in my mouth and actually made me sick to my stomach.

Two things I love put together: vinyl and Jack White’s ideas.

Jesse Lacey is a lyrical god, it’s angsty and brilliant musically. It’s a gorgeous album that tells a beautiful story. “Jude Law and a Semester Abroad” is one of those songs that as soon as the chorus hits, you feel the urge to scream it at the top of your lungs

Though highly reminiscent of their old stuff (very circa ‘Infinity On High’), but also a bit more punchy and it absorbed Patrick’s Stump solo style. It’s a new and improved Fall Out Boy that I absolutely fell in love with.

Her voice? How do I even begin. Greatest female singer I’ve heard…ever. It flows so gorgeously, her range is flawless. Orla’s accent and pronunciation gives the cover a sense of originality

It’s a sad thing when a musician who’s been in the same band for fourteen years, leaves.

Coby Linder, the drummer for Say Anything, has left. I am thoroughly disappointed and upon hearing the news, I was angry. Was it because of a disagreement? Hard feelings?

Okay, yeah yeah, it was a big fat sobfest. Regardless, I adored every second of this masterpiece. It is a legitimate work of art. Its’ translation from book to film was so good it makes me giddy just thinking about it

Really, the reasoning is that I hate her lyrics so I never even gave her voice a chance. Hearing her on the radio and over stereo systems has led me to strongly disliking her as a whole. I think someone slipped something in her drink to improve her voice for this tune
