Jul. 29th, 2009 06:42 pmHOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS "MY GUEST" THING
WTFFFFFFFFFFF LIVEJOURNAL, PUT THAT AWAY
*BREATHES INTO PAPER BAG*
I am not even kidding, my lurking is VERY important to me. I will one day emerge from my hermitdom to actually comment on things but I am not ready for that day. I refuse to let some "My Guest" feature push me around!! >:o
Let's talk disco:
I am not one of those real good-natured fans who still loves and supports everyone. I am Team Brendon & Spencer because I love them both and I've loved the original Panique! a la discotheque, and I am not Team Ryan and Jon because I hate hipsters. And even if Ryan Ross is not a hipster down to his very soul (pfffft), he still WANTS to be one and is going around acquiring all the necessary trappings. No. NO. I refuse!!! Fuck that noise.
I quite hope that disco will indeed be able to pull off the best parts of Fever and Pretty. Odd. because that would seriously be DAMN AWESOME. I trust bdonatron and Spencer Smith so I just hope it all works out for them.
The Young Veins is not as terrible as I would have liked (ahaha yeah IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THAT. okay I don't want them to not succeed, I just don't want to be a part of it. I don't want to like them! Ryan Ross is such a fuckface right now!) but I'm glad that it left me feeling pretty cold. It definitely sounds like it's from the 60s/70s, so... props. It sounds so much like that though, that it's not particularly fresh. It feels derivative. Pretty. Odd. (and It's Almost Halloween, why not) was also definitely influenced by 60s poprocketc but it didn't feel stale or flimsy or pointless. I seriously think it's because of Brendon's voice. He doesn't sound like anyone else singing right now. It gives everything a different texture. I don't like New Perspective all that much either, but it doesn't sound lifted straight from something else. If I was kinder and more inclined to Ryan and Jon: Adventures in Hipster-bros, I would say that it was kinda cute. Like, there's a part in the verses that sounds exactly like Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. That's cute! I like the Blue Oyster Cult!
I'm weirdly glad about the Ian Crawford news. I only say 'weirdly' because I didn't think I had any opinions about the Cab whatsoever. But I do? I knew that that dude was fucking good though.
God I don't like that they split up! It is skeevy as hell. Who the fuck splits up like two seconds before a tour? That's fucked. Ryan Ross, you better fix this. It seems strained from where ~we're sitting.
I read the best story I'll probably read all year, a bandom fic called Sweet Science. It's so good. You don't need to know anything about bandom; first, it's an AU, and second, it's so good that it doesn't even matter. It's everything about how hard life is and how sad and how good and how sweet it is, how the people around you hold you up just by the virtue of who they are and how much you love that. It was such a good thing to read at this moment of my life.
