Once I get started there’s not stopping me ;). I actually wrote that early in the morning (this as well, its 7:45), but didn’t post it until the evening because I can’t log on to Mibba at work. But seems like you were on quite the writing spree as well, haha.
I’m kind of varied. Though a lot of the bands I listen to have been going at it for a long time already, they just still make records. And I’ve been discovering a lot of older bands the last year or so, so they still count as new to me, haha. You Me At Six started I think started like 3 or 4 years ago. I don’t know that much of them, but I somewhat enjoy their music on cd. Bad live though. I got to went to see them at Pukkelpop (though a festival is always different of course) two years ago and they were just trying too hard. Fall Out Boy is definitely beautiful though! Sucks that I never got to see them live… I almost did, but… Ugh, I still get mad thinking about it :(. Did you happen to hear Patrick’s album yet? My copy got shipped on Monday, so I’m hoping it’ll arrive soon. Curious what it’s going to be like! And yes, they kind of are like Blink it that way, haha. I think they actually opened up for Blink way back! And that’s awesome. That reminds me I still have to check out the new Blink record!
If only I had the time to sit in a room and listen to music all day… I saw this sign not too long ago that read ‘I want to live in a music festival forever’ and I was all yes, that’s describing me in one sentence, haha. You have a Sgt Peppers? So jealous! I don’t own any of the studio albums on vinyl, but I do have the stereo box :). And I have some compilations on vinyl, which I love. But my favorite record on vinyl is easy: Rumors by Fleetwood Mac. It’s one of the first I owned (it used to be my mom’s), it’s in perfect condition and though that’s the only Fleetwood Mac music I know, I’m in love with it! Now I’m curious about yours, haha. When I was younger (thinking back, that makes me feel kind of old, haha) I used to have every inch of my room covered with posters of bands and actors. But then my room got repainted and I never put them back up. I like them better this way anyway, with just limited and framed things. Now you have to be really good to get on my walls, haha. Your walls sound cool tough! Happen to have any pictures of them? About Keltie… I’m a fan most of the time, she’s very inspirational. Tough sometimes she just gets on my last nerve. It’s hard to explain, haha. Rockettes, Rockstars and Rockbottom isn’t the most profound book, but it’s definitely a good read. And I love her Courage.Passion.HardWork mantra cuff, I wear it all the time!
I guess I could like Alex if I actually met him, but I just don’t know him, you know? And with that weird vibe he gives me I just don’t know right now, haha. Jon’s shirt are cute yeah, but that’s about all, haha. Ryan could definitely be a writer. Though I must say I’m really, really pleased to read on Twitter that he is actually making music again. Hopefully we actually get to hear it :). Brendon’s voice and Ryan’s lyrics were pretty much the perfect combo (like Patrick and Pete’s), but I’m also happy that Brendon picked up slack!
That’s the main reason I want to go to Abbey Road, haha. It’s nice, living in Europe. Though I actually haven’t seen that much. Paris, Barcelona, Italy. That’s about it, concerning major things. There’s still so much on my list. But I’d love to visit the US of A! I’m definitely coming to NYC, hopefully next year. Been wanting to go there forever!
The salt water, I don’t mind too much. But the sea is usually too cold to go for a swim here in Belgium, so not much experience with it… And yes! It’s like, you can protect every part of your body against the cold with clothing, but not your nose. And it hurts when it’s ‘defrosting’ again!
It is true that there are quite some bands suck live these days. Though it's not always the band, a lot often has to do with the venue and the material. And I also think it isn't exactly a thing of the present. I remember going to see Sum41 when I was 16 and they were absolutely horrible! I was a big fan of their music and it was such a huge letdown!
I'm so jealous that you got to see FOB! And Patrick! The record still hasn't arrived yet (hope it will before I leave for London), but I'm excited for it! I think it would be awesome if he did a tour with The Cab as support act. That would be amazing, if they came to Belgium of course.
I think I have heard Blink's Up All Night already, but it wasn't really memorable I guess. And I have a feeling their old stuff is indeed better. They were in this great period in the 90s and it's hard to recreate that...
My favorite band I've seen live is easy: Muse. I've seen so many good shows already and for years R.E.M. was my absolute favorite. But then I got to see Muse two years ago (it's hard to believe it's been that long) and I was just blown away. Pure heaven, so so perfect. And Matt's voice is flawless! I think there is a small movie of it on my YouTube (youtube.com/Loor87).
Ah, that's definitely a great song. I always have a hard time chosing a favorite Beatles song. I'd say it's a tie between Here Comes The Sun and I Want To Hold Your Hand. But that's just right now, it might change again tomorrow, haha. I can't even pick a favorite record, though there I know for sure it's a tie between Revolver and Abbey Road :).
Taking down the pictures wasn't really that hard for me, since I'd grown out of most of those bands + I put the ones I still liked on the walls in our tv/toy/computer room. My room got new wall paper that time and then it got repainted one more time. It's two shades of dark grey now. I wanted black and dark red actually, but that would've been too dark, since my room is pretty small. So I ended up getting a sofa with a pattern of red roses to spike things up a bit :).
I do have a facebook. It's Lore Delbroek :).
And yes, that's basically my main problem with Kelt as well. How she keeps bringing up Ryan. As for the whole being famous thing: I don't feel that's her goal, but it's like... she's always been in the entertainment business and she probably doesn't know anything else.So that's probably why she keeps trying to something entertainment related. The book was definitely interesting. Got to know a lot of things I didn't know about her yet. And about her relationship with Ryan.
Alex does seem like a pedo sometimes. Especially with the long hair, haha. Seriously, he was actually pretty when he had short hair, but the long hair is just yuck. Like some sort of hobo. I can imagine people thinking that. Especially if like me, they only know him of the internet. I also sometimes think that Ryan needs to grow up or something, but all in all I do agree that people do not cut him enough slack.
Ryan's voice... I honestly think it's not good, compared to Brendon's. But then, that's compared to Brendon. On it's own I do like it. After stepping away from Panic, I was worried about him being the lead, but he definitely surprised me.
And I would love to read a book from Ryan! Have you ever read Pete's? Is it as good as his lyrics?
Paris is really pretty. So many things you should check out when you go there: the eiffel tower, the louvre, the gardens of versailles, notre dame...
Canada seems interesting as well. I have some far away family living in Quebec actually :).
And you're not giving NY a bad name, haha. I can imagine not everyone will like it. But I definitely just want to go there some day, there's so many things I want to do and see. I would love to see a Broadway musical, among other things. And The HardRock sounds awesome. I've been there in Barcelona last summer and it was great, but I can imagine the one in NY being a million times better.
