“To the smaller lake beyond, they gave [xli] the name of Andiatarocte, or Here-the-Lake-Valley-closes, a name descriptive and correct. Thus it continued to be named by the Mohawks so long as they inhabited the adjoining country.”

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS — Tonight, Tonight
Time is never time at all You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth And our lives are forever changed We will never be the same The more you change the less you feel Believe, believe in me, believe That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain We’re not the same, we’re different tonight Tonight, so...
you slept in my heart for what felt like a hundred years. here i lay, the high assuaging my fears. take this for what it’s worth: a couple summers ago i finally went on a rollercoaster ride upside-down and it changed my life. the sharp pain of fear was better than any dull knife.
how 'the city' fails for new yorkers
So many of us closet fans (or not closeted fans) of The Hills have been eagerly anticipating tonight’s season premiere of The City.
I’m less than impressed, and I think my friend has figured out why. The Hills and The City are obviously both faux-reality shows, but since we know jack shit about LA, The Hills presents situations we think might actually be feasible. The City...

Ah, yes.
HUNTER FROM AFI//ZOOEY = ENGAGED
Hunter from AFI and Zooey Deschanel are said to be engaged, but I can only really find it on Just Jared and AbsolutePunk, so who knows?
My favorite APnet response: “Isn’t she with that guy from Gym Class Heroes?!”
Uh, no dickface, that’s Katy Perry, who, while looking EXACTLY like Zooey, has about half the talent…

YESSSS!
ps. Anyone have extra tix for Bouncing Souls/Gaslight on Sunday since karly’s relatives are CLEARLY standing in the way of my Brian Fallon obsession…? I swear, they’re trying to prevent me from drunkenly making an ass of myself in front of him. You know that’s what would happen.
happy holidays

So cute. I have a lot of respect for the fact they didn’t whore out their baby photos for a big paycheck.
manhattan's sinking like a rock.
a lou reed christmas seems weird, but that’s how it’s happening, as i’m wrapping CDs for my parents. these days i feel like santa claus. my stocking was full and my dad’s half full and my mom’s empty. so i’m up all night burning CDs (and slowly i’m sure contributing to the death of the industry) and wishing you were here with me.
come on, we know these...

…I am about to go meet some people at a bar wearing what I’m pretty sure is the worst outfit ever compiled. Uggs. Leggings. Plaid shirt. Striped rugby scarf with disgustingly adorable skulls and crossbones on it. It’s all because I was chilling in my apartment wearing Uggs and leggings and was too lazy to put on jeans and shoes instead. I mean, this bar is like 4 blocks away and I...

Yeah, the jam band fans aren’t very well represented on here. Does no one appreciate the musical stylings of the Disco Biscuits and String Cheese Incident
Ten years ago I would’ve sliced my wrists open with the jagged edge of a broken CD handed out for free at the Warped Tour if I ever caught myself sticking up for jam band kids, but I must say that the 10MB limit...

No shit.
Duh.
Steven’s Untitled Rock Show was canceled.
I think mostly all of the people involved in making this show happen while I was interning there saw the writing on the wall and have already left, or at least the ones I still keep in touch with. I guess the network changed and it stopped being about the music, and more about ratings. Here’s the post I wrote on APnet about it:

AFI’s Mystery Kicks into High Gear
(via Buzznet)
I can’t keep up with the AFI viral thing, I’m far too fucking busy to spend hours on Despair Faction talking with people whose LIVES are AFI 24 hours a day… so I appreciated that panasonicyouth on Buzznet started an updates page for it. Apparently it’s related to the Charlotte mystery from last year… idk…...
Planes Crashing and The Return of the Greatest...
shutupinternet:
I feel terrible saying that the plane crash a few months ago involving Blink-182/+44’s drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM was a good thing but knowing now that they’ll both be back in good health soon takes the burden off of me a little bit.
Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus has talked about how he, Tom and Travis have begun talking again since the plane crash. Mark and Tom are working...

Now I can handle people not liking my band. I’m not one to read message boards and get angry about people’s opinions. But how can you be allowed to have an opinion when you think bands like Bring Me the Horizon good? Are you fucking retarded? You forfit your opinion at that point. And Brokencyde. Do you know that people actually listen to Brokencyde? I’m not kidding. There are people...
Video’s coming up soon, taking forevsss to upload to the good old Y-Tube. I PROMISE to POST IT AS SOON AS IT IS DONE!!!
So I was at Washington Square Park starting at 3, with a bunch of vaguely dressed kids such as myself, waiting for the Fall Out Boy(z). Pete’s twitter read that they’d be there at 3:30. Not quite. At around 4:15, a crowd of about 80(?) gathered in front of one of the staging areas (the raised portion of the park they typically have bands set up on). When Fall Out Boy came out there was...
this is for the haters, cause we’ll always have each other.
