shut your mouth and get down on the floor

1. Does anyone have some Spitalfields to share, trusty f-list? I'll support them (even though the band is broken up) if I like what I hear, I'm just not willing to shell out without a preview.

2. Ugh, exercise. Last night I went running for the first time since... well, since we went to Bonnaroo, before I was sick. I won't tell you how long it took me to run 5K. It was ugly, though. And now I'm coughing again. >:/

And now it's unpopular fandom opinion time:

3. People are so fucking lazy. I was actually tempted to ask if the original poster didn't have access to Google. I mean, seriously, how hard is it to google "Midtown lyrics", and read the lyrics yourself? Or check bandom_primers (or a variety of other places) for Gabe Saporta? But then I thought maybe I was being too bitchy and mean. But seriously? SRSLY? Google the fucking lyrics if you can't be arsed to actually LISTEN to the albums before you ask stupid questions.

4. Alex Greenwald = not really attractive with long hair

5. Um, button your shirt, Ryan Ross. And comb your hair. Bedhead is not a look you need to wear every day.

6. 17 days 'til Chicago. :)

ETA:

LOL at The Young Veins. And their blatant rip-off of The Who and The Kinks. Oh, boys.

b/c you *needed* one more post on your f-list about this

Dear Rolling Stone,

Thanks for a non-partisan article where obvious side-choosing doesn't happen.

Also, thanks for spelling their names correctly, which MTV and NME (eta: and Spin /eta) seem to find difficult.

Love,
Me


Aside: Weeks later, RyRo's Peter Gabriel/Ray Davies comparison still comes off as an insult.


And finally, I have to be honest: Changes sounds like more of a rip-off of The Who and The Kinks to me than anything new. Maybe I'll like it more on repeated listening? IDK. It suits Ryan Ross's voice, but if they record an entire album that is so clearly derivative, I will be disappointed.
