A DIAMOND GAAAAAAZE!!! A THOUSAND STRANDS OF SUNLIGHT IN YOUR EYEEEEEES!!!

Totally forgot how epic (and I know I say 'epic' a lot to mean good, but here, I actually mean 'epic') the 2nd Jeremy Enigk album was. I like his new one, but it's not a patch on "World Waits".

Also;

A Day To Remember tour in March 2010. Tickets on sale Friday:

9th - o2 Academy 2 Newcastle

11th - Academy 2 Manchester

12th - HMV Forum London

13th - Anson Rooms Bristol

14th - o2 Academy 2 Birmingham

Newcastle...there.

Listening to the new Jack's Mannequin EP, "Dear Jack". Awesome to finally hear studio versions of "Dear Jack" and "There, There Katie". The songs on here are all more sombre and laid back than the last album stuff. Not totally sold on "Diane, The Skyscraper", although the ending is really fucking awesome. And the version of "Swim" that's on it is a bit pointless, but all in all, nice songs.

Owl City/Lights in Baltimore is sold out.

[LittleDaniel]

To make up for it's mistake of letting the Lights show sell-out before I knew about it, Chris Wollard & his new band and Mike Hale are playing my favorite venue a week from Monday

New FOB song...FUCKING HUUUUUUGE!!

Best thing they've done since that boyband song.

Fall Out Boy are putting out a Greatest Hits album? Fuck right off. That new one does sound better than the last two albums' worth of toss though.

I wasn't big on "The Bite And Sting" but FUCK ME "The Red, White & Blues" us HUUUGE! EP's gonna be epic. Rumours of a headline tour over here with Dead Swans too...that'd be awesome.

James Yuill is brilliant. Bit slow sometimes, but overall he's got some lovely calm music.

The Defeater EP is canny mint. Not sure if any take over from the first 3 on the album though as my night out pre-"pre drinks" drinks psyche up songs.

New Wonder Years album in January and Four Year Strong have seemingly finished a new (original) album too. Synthy pop-punk goodness.

Reel Big Fish supports for next year are Big D & The Kids Table and Sonic Boom Six...I've seen the supports, and it's like £16...but I'm kind of tempted by it.

And on the ska news, no real word on the Streetlight Manifesto "99 Songs Of Revolution" project besides the following songs are on it;

Me and Julio Down By The School Yard (written by Paul Simon), Hell (by the Squirrel Nut Zippers), Linoleum (by NOFX), and Such fan-dabi-dozi Heights (by The Postal Service).

Also acoustic version of "Try This At Home" by Frank Turner is a billion times better than the album version, for a start it doesn't sound like a Pigeon Detectives song anymore.

Such fan-dabi-dozi Heights (by The Postal Service).

That was way funnier than it had any right to be.

New Wonder Years album in January

Excellent news...

MY FRIENDS AND I, WE'RE ALL FUCKED ON THE INSIDE!

[tristy]

Please tell me it's Owl City you're excited about, YI. Lights is fucking horrible.

On that note, I'm going to be seeing the band

in February

[YI]

Lights is awesome. Probably more excited for Owl City though, seeing as I've seen Lights before.

CHIN UP, AND WE'LL DROWN A LITTLE SLOWER, HEY!

[YI]

To be honest, their debut album was a little "meh"...but the EP and the split with All Or Nothing they've released since then have been epic. Can't wait for it.

[Cactus Drags]

I didn't know there was a debut album >_>

[YI]

Honestly neither did I until about 2/3 month ago.

It also doesn't help all versions you can find on 'the internet' are ridiculously low quality.

Also...so I'm not left out;

WE'RE FINDING OUT SOME SCUMMY FUCK JUST THREW IT IN A 15-YEAR OLD!!

I MEAN COME ON MAN!! IS THAT THE LIFE YOU WANT!!

What a song.

Actually, I take back what I said about the album being "meh", it's actually pretty fucking awesome (no "Rise Or Die Trying" but pretty much up their with your average New Found Glory release), even if the synth sounds like it's coming through a mobile phone.

Interesting thing from Mike Hale's myspace - "NEW ALBUM coming soon on Suburban Home"

Now this could just be something left over from before "Live's Like Mine"...but the last login was yesterday and I was on his page a month or so ago and I swear that wasn't there then. :D :D
