As for the video, it’s pretty cute. The guys pretty much do what every teenager does behind closed doors- mouth the words to awesome songs and dance around. It’s pretty great because it kind of shows us their silly side, and watching them have fun is entertaining. Not to mention how cool the concert footage is
I’VE BEEN GETTING INTO SOME WEEEEEEIRD MUSIC LATELY…
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.
His father had a cabin in Medford, where Vernon found refuge. It was there in that cabin he pondered “Bon Iver” and what that really meant, but not without some inspiration.
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.
It’s definitely a new sound, and has a more well-rounded feel than “Phoenix” and “Light Em Up”. I take back what I said about “Phoenix”- because this will be THE song of summer 2013. It has a hint of pop pizazz but is most certainly “indie” enough for the other fans. It just makes you feel happy, which is really nice
I seriously can’t get over how good the new Fall Out Boy stuff is. They recently released the video for their tune “The Phoenix”. I have so much to say,
“ 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.
“It’s getting very hard to stay” is how a lot of the people in the dust bowl felt. “Every child had a pretty good shot to get at least as far as their old man got, but something happened on the way to that place means that children used to have futures, and they used to have good opportunities for when they grew up
Our teacher played the class the tune “Dust Bowl Dance” by Mumford and Sons; she said to use that for inspiration and try to find songs that had some relevance. I banded together with my best friend and fellow music lover, Tristan, and we created the best playlist that teacher will ever see.
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.
Clearly something is up with the teen. He’s just a method of propaganda and a marketing tool, and he’s letting that get to him. Hopefully, if he is on drugs, he gets help. Justin Bieber should get a grip and take a break.
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 set consisted of what appeared to be multiple little “homes”, a wall of televisions, and fun metal structures to climb on. Opening up with Johnny, Will, and Tunny, our three adorable rocker protagonists, it’s high-energy and nearly impossible to not fall in love with.
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.
The equipment they used was crystal clear, the lighting was really nice, and artistically, every frame could stand on its own as a photograph- that’s rare, and I loved it. I watched it a couple of times out of awe, and rewound certain parts. It’s absolutely brilliant; the camera angles aid the story so well.
The mixture of sounds and the composition makes you barely notice the way it changes to the next track until you realise it’s actually much darker. It feels angry. Though both of the songs have no vocals, you can absolutely tell the emotion. “…
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.
One of the main reasons I picked up the album was because of the John Lennon contribution. I mean, “Across The Universe” is such a good song. It’s just fun to listen to. Easily one of Bowie’s best collabs
About a year ago, there was a column on here where a teenage girl like myself could write about anything that’s not related to music. (I believe I wrote a vegan post, and a couple others…) Regardless, I’m going to start doing that again.
“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.
He went from a SuperFan of The Sex Pistols, to a member of ’em. He climbed the ladder and became a big name in the punk scene, and he was named after a freakin’ hamster because Lydon and him couldn’t have the same name without being confused. He was cool simply because he wasn’t.
It’s just the band is so tight that it feels ridiculously close-knit and well rehearsed. That in an of itself is beautiful; listen to any of their songs, and you’ll hear how many little intricacies there are that put JM above and beyond hundreds of other bands.
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
“I am going to tell you about my experience on the road with one of the most downright ungrateful and selfish person I have ever met. You can take it or leave it, but this is my story.”
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?
Upon hearing that the band has been compared to Four Year Strong and likened to them, they seemed a bit taken aback, but positively so. FYS helped produce From What We Believe, so LL and FYS have collaborated before
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
One of the coolest things it showed was how the shows got bigger and bigger. I loved the whole “They’re not fighting, they’re dancing!” scene. It was a revolution; it hadn’t been seen before and the Clash brought it to the table.
Cliche, but necessary. Of course no one knows the words to the whole thing, ’cause it’s pretty much impossible, but the chorus is sure to induce a sing-along. Definitely the best apocalyptic song ever written
Any real music before punk was being ruined by record companies. Got watered down. Then the hippies started to suck- they went from weed to heroin, so they were going nowhere. Through this, new bands formed.
McCartney is a legend. Hes a well oiled well maintained classic car that still blows away the whippersnappers. The problem here is he is squished on to Saturday Night Lives stage of horror. Yet, like a Christmas miracle puts forth a beautiful rendition of one of his new songs.
We all passionately sang, closing our eyes and yelling the words back at him. I think we all walked away with the final line of the tune ringing over and over in our heads: “I have no faith but it’s all I want to be loved and believe in my soul, in my soul.”
I couldn’t tell what I thought for the first few songs, but all I knew was that he had a beautiful singing voice. It was so pure and so strong and clean, and that is what the icing on the cake was.
Nate Ruess makes me a-ring-ting-tingle.fun. covered “Sleigh Bells” and it’s so good I could cry. I hit ‘play’ and was just blown away. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but whatever expectations I had, they exceeded. Ruess can literally sing anything and fun. makes this song not a lame Christmas tune, but a legit great dance song
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
The tune incorporates the lines “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,” and “You make me happy, oh when skies are grey”. That’s a song that my grandmother used to sing to me all the time, and hearing it has always stayed resonant.
I couldn’t help but sing really loud like an idiot and not care. I adore this song and I can’t even express how in love I am with it. It was such a good feeling yelling the lyrics next to others who were doing the same- it was a community.
I’ve never been to a show with as much crowd participation in my entire life. It was stunning. I think the band was a bit taken aback, too. An overwhelming amount of noise and motion and excitement ensued
All My Friends Are Enemies: The Early Rarities, it’ll be out on January 22nd. “This release is over ten years in the making and something I’ve been dying to share with kids,” Bemis says.
Tearing up countless times, the coming-of-age story is timeless and no matter what your age, it’s heatbreaking and relatable.
