Mar. 12th, 2008 07:42 pmI got tagged by the lovely
periculosa
( 5 bands-5songs meme )
And I'm not tagging anyone, so feel free to do the meme if you feel like it.
So I'm listening to the new clips from Pretty. Odd. over here and I am Ridiculously. Excited. (hah, I laugh at you and your surviving pretentious streak, Panic) And I've come to the conclusion that this is a big fat love letter to The Beatles. Well. I knew that from the moment I heard Nine in the Afternoon, but validation just tastes so good :D
Is it bad that I've already got a feel for which songs I kind of think I'll be skipping at some point? As I've said before, I despise country, but for Panic's sake I'll hold off judgment. And while I ADORE that they're doing The Beatles, I wonder if Panic will be able to maintain a sense of identity. It's already obvious that they sound next to nothing like they used to, save that they can still create some catchy ass tunes and their aptitude for melody hasn't diluted in the slightest. But if anything, I want them to do it their way, so as long as that happens, I'm sound as a pound.
Good day at work today, and once I'm through tomorrow, I'm free for the weekend and working my ass off over spring break. Hopefully I can get some stuff done (and by "some stuff", I clearly mean "writing") and see some of my friends that I haven't seen in a while. I feel awful about not staying in contact with a couple of my friends from high school, and I. Feel awkward. Calling them up out of the blue like this. But I'm guilty and I'm lonely and I really want to rebuild some bridges, even if I'm not sure if they've collapsed.
And I know some really shitty things have been happening to the good people of my flist, so I send love, hugs. Anything that's really fucking useless unless I'm there in person to deliver it. How I wish I was.
