But in reality, he probably just trampled a shrub and then went back inside to watch some 24.
otherwise complete charm aside, that one line has become a hazard to my driving.
♠ Spoiler! Expect cameos.
♠ I actually managed an attention span longer than twenty minutes last night, so HOORAY! I've finally got another big piece going that might stick this time. Facial scars and fancy clothes point to yes.
♠ So I have this thing, right, for Ryan Ross in really douchey sunglasses. It's a thing. Kanye is on board.

Date: 2011-05-18 03:47 am (UTC)I know, right?! I nearly drove off the road the first time I heard that. Like, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? WHO LET THAT HAPPEN? The rest of the song is pretty much like, nothing crazy, but then THAT HAPPENS.
But fuck that. THIS. THIS MAKES MY FREAKING TOES CURL IN HAPPINESS. ...Honestly. I didn't think it was possible for this band in any incarnation to elicit this kind of response from me. I'm so. So. In love.
1) Hahahahah I cannot believe people can tell those are cupcakes. YAY I WIN, APPARENTLY! 2) Dude, I don't even know what to do with him. HE JUST KEEPS HAPPENING!
...I love how that's the two-for-two reaction to this post. And YES! We should do that!

It's not a video, actually. It's just a song. It was just released and it's sort of ridiculously sweet. Here, not that it's pressingly important, I just had a sec. I originally gave you the FBR YouTube channel version and they're all picky, I guess. /eyeroll

New band? Pair 'em with an established band on tour, make 'em record a catchy-as-hell song together. Makes the old band sound better in comparison to the newbs, and gives the newbs exposure. Win-win.

Re: SO fun.
Date: 2011-05-18 06:17 pm (UTC)Tie The Rope and First Single I really like. I'm on my second listen and... yeah. Just yeah. His voice has changed a lot, just sort of... tonally. Like, between this and AAI he's gained a little more indie twang. It's cute. Seems to suit him.
GUH. OKAY YES. I AM EXCITED. I'll listen to it when I get up later. Less terrified, more stoked, even if only to see someone else get as insane about music they like as I get about music I like.
I like that we're friends. ♥
AND ALSO HOMG THANK YOU!!!

Re: SO fun.
Date: 2011-05-18 07:39 pm (UTC)HOW FUCKING IN LOVE AM I WITH TIE THE ROPE?
SO IN LOVE. SO, SO IN LOVE. THAT'S HOW.
The drums, first of all, are perfect. I mean, in that they're super simple but super tight, and apparently mic'd perfectly or something, because just damn, really. And then that little swing he does through "leave me there/gasping for air". Nnh! ♥ ♥ ♥
Like, I notice he does that little swing-through-lyrics inflecty thing a bunch, in C'mon, too, just usually to a lesser degree. Again, what I said where I said it in our 4857573 threads we have going right now, like. His voice is so assertive and kicky and has all these little quirks and trends and it's so fucking ENDEARING!
Re: SO fun.
Date: 2011-05-18 08:01 pm (UTC)It's melodramatic without being gross, which is one of the things I love most about Folie A Deux, too. I mean, I love me some gratuitous emo, but I also love the music vs lyrics contrast effect.
He's doing this thing, like, his singing is so conversational. Hang The Rope, especially. I feel like he's having a bored, annoyed conversation. It's all very *matter of fact*.

Date: 2011-05-18 07:04 pm (UTC)After listening to AAI, I definitely hear more Fun., musically. I really love the way Brendon kind of explodes into the last couple words of Nate's verse, though, and how Nate's voice is so fucking assertive in comparison to Brendon's. Not that Brendon's isn't like, solid or whatever, but Nate's has this sort of WHAM! hits you-quality to it that's just a nice balance. Especially when you compare it to Patrick Stump's duets with Brendon, which I love, but their voices have such similar tonal structure and inflection that it's like listening to a duet of Patrick Stump and Patrick Stump With Less Range And Oomph sometimes.
I think that's a lot of words for "I like how Brendon and Nate balance each other out."
Yeah. That.
And all the sweeps and falls and crescendos that turn into vocal roller coaster-plummets. My heart gets all fluttery and my toes curl and I want more.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-18 07:52 pm (UTC)Yeah! Exactly! They bring out each other's strengths and sort of work off and around each other really smoothly without any overpowering or like, "Wow, so-and-so is really singing the pants off of so-and-so", which is how I feel when I listen to Patrick guest for The Cab (One Of Those Nights has Brendon, too, and I'm A Wonder is just Patrick backing them. Both have fun lyrics, actually, and I'm A Wonder is SUPER snarky and makes me pretty fucking pleased. But still. The Cab. ...Yeah.)
Adorable qualities. Yes. That is pretty much it. Though I wanna hear him do more of the throaty stuff he pulls out briefly in 20 Dollar Nosebleed (with more success in the actual recording lol).
Speaking of which, DUDE. Nate seriously whips out the soul in Benson Hedges something fierce. Good lord I am so gone for that man's voice.
I feel like in C'mon I'm listening to a vocal frolic-off.
Re: FORGIVE DURDEN AKA THOMAS DUTTON DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS IN LIFE
Date: 2011-05-19 04:16 am (UTC)Anyway. Man, I actually really love what Brendon does in that. Just... the lines and the story are SO CONTRIVED! I know it's the last track and I should listen to the rest before I start bitching, but like. I thought he was the villain and I was all excited for EPIC VILLAINY! But then he stabs the dude and all of a sudden is all WHOOPS NEVERMIND and it's all LET'S JOIN HANDS AND LOVE EVERYONE WHEEEE! which... Why?! I'm gonna go watch the A Little Less Sixteen Candles video forever now. Don't mind me.
I listened to the Godzilla track, but couldn't figure out how to dl it. Probably because I'm dumb and didn't see something I was looking right at. But I like it! Dude! GODZILLA! That's awesome. ♥
Re: FORGIVE DURDEN AKA THOMAS DUTTON DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS IN LIFE
Date: 2011-05-19 05:20 pm (UTC)I'll say it again: Selpeter-Urie-Conley-Newsham. And possibly -Bemis-Harris. LOCK THOMAS DUTTON IN A CLOSET AND DO YO' THANG, GUYS. (Though actually, I really liked the whole cast. Even Dutton's voice is pretty awesome. It just has his brain attached to it, and apparently that leads bad places.)
fuuuuuuuck you make me *work* for things.

WHAT IS GOING ON?
And can I have a sequel where Brendon Urie and Shawn Harris just shriek at each other with increasing intensity?
Dude. DUDE. But omg. That sounds AMAZING. I WANT THAT. I WANT THAT NOW! PERCUSSION DANCE PARTY. RIGHT NOW.
Re: FORGIVE DURDEN AKA THOMAS DUTTON DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS IN LIFE
Date: 2011-05-26 06:56 pm (UTC)Every single thing is a plot device for his character's self-centered purpose. Especially Adakias's. Hooks up with the princess and goes to ask her father's hand. Father says no? NO PROBLEM! Elope anyway. Princess gets sick. Doctor asks for her poontang in repaiment? NO PROBLEM! Nobody remembers any of that forty-five seconds later. And then Adakias gets stabbed and gives everyone a revised edition of the ending soliloquy in Romeo and Juliet and shit's all okay, but like. Nevermind any resolution for the other characters directly effected by this. Pallis just fucks off back to do... what? The Dark is gone and now suddenly he's all down with the equilibrium of things, immediately post fratricide? And Anhura... well. Maybe she hooks up with the Doctor and that ends up being cool. Idk. I think I'll just believe that.
I'm obviously thinking way, way harder about this than I'm supposed to.
I feel like the Doctor-spider thing might have just been Shawn Harris being CRAZYPANTS. Because he is.
I'm almost ready to let myself be really fucking irritated with how fucking obvious this is about being an allegory for Thomas Dutton feeling like the whole world is against him and OMG HIS LIFE IS SO HAAAAAAARD.
Re: FORGIVE DURDEN AKA THOMAS DUTTON DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS IN LIFE
Date: 2011-05-26 07:35 pm (UTC)Pretty much what I really want is the whole thing redone from Pallis' side. SO MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING. And then, as I've mentioned, we could have the grand finale be Pallis And Dumaya's Super Crazy Variety Hour where they could strut and ham and shriek and falsetto each other's faces off until we all get tired and wander away for a sandwich.
...Broadway. Musical. HUH?!
The way I heard it, uh... didn't his band ditch him because he was being a whiny bitch? Who was already writing Razia's and not paying enough attention to them?
Re: FORGIVE DURDEN AKA THOMAS DUTTON DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS IN LIFE

OF COURSE HE DID. AWESOME. GREAT. WHO THE FUCK WOULD ENCOURAGE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR? Maybe it is getting a full rewrite. Or something. Like, a massive revision? We can only hope. My question is, though- how is he supporting himself? How do these people like Dutton and Ryan Ross and whoever support themselves when their big fancy projects disappear? I keep expecting to run into Jon Walker working in a Starbucks in Chicago.
...It's interesting to hear about the bands/projects that don't work out. It's almost always group dynamics, and I almost forget sometimes that between bands like MCR and FOB, who have/had like, perfect chemistry, that there are the ones who don't. In the light of all the Panic stuff I read, especially, it's a little sad that I forget these things. Dutton's obviously very take-charge, though, between fronting the band and enacting the whole Razia project essentially on his own. Add that to the glaringly apparent martyr complex and the wrong bandmates and yeah...
Every time you talk about getting to actually be involved in an urban scene growing up, I want to throw something at your head. Just a little. In a loving way.
NO FAAAAAAAAAAAIR.

Seriously. I was always the lucky one in my group of friends because I could go to all the shows I wanted and basically do whatever, but that was in Hilo. We had like, two local rock bands. It wasn't exactly a scene.
I still went to every fucking show godammit
