Massive memes are musts for Mondays

This is another meme, but I really love it so I think everyone should do it too. I did it for PATD, FOB, and MCR (PATD need to make more songs, I'm just saying). Here it is :



- Choose a singer/band/group
- Answer the following using ONLY titles of songs by that singer/band/group

( Memes!meme!Meme! )

'09 is looking up for another reason

Guys! The world is going to welcome another spectacular person soon!

*This link takes you to the ONTD post saying that Gerard and Lyn-z are expecting their first child! I'm stupidly pleased for them, and I hope everything comes out okay for them.

*I actually thought Frank would win MCR's baby pool; but he has new Leathermouth coming out soon.

I'm almost ready to write a post about why I adore Gerard so much...and by extension MCR; but I can't now because I'm cooking and pressed for time.

A Record for the moment

I know, it's another post today; maybe I'm just trying to compensate for my impending absence and recent lack of posting.

*What happened to bandom_recs  ? I went on there because I haven't seen a post from them for a while, and I thought it was just me; but it says here that the last post was in September /o\.  I really loved that comm and I don't want to see it die? Is there some sort of unannounced hiatus? Speaking of bandom_recs, I think there should be a holiday themed rec list since it is the time of year for holidays.

* I was just on patd  and apparently there is a copy of the NITA from the Live in Chicago DVD from panic and Ryan comes in *loud and clear* during the background vocals. Comments are being sort of mean. I haven't watched the clip because I want to see the entire DVD, maybe I'll watch it on mute so I can catch a glimpse of Spencer's porn-drumming face. (Yes I wold do it just for that) Plus there is a closeup of Jon's feet! I want this DVD so bad :)

*Speaking of Live performances, I got a copy of Paramore's live CD and now I'm listening to it and loving it. I am/was quite ambivalent towards the band (still not a fan of Misery Business), but hearing them live, I have to say I am so impressed. Haley is such a strong performer and the band sounds fantastic. I remember Paramore had one of the best performances during MTV's boring awards show this year.

* Expect a music post soon.

*I've been watching reruns of The West Wing, and I have to say I adore that show! Josh! Sam! Mandy! Toby! I love all the characters. The dialogue! Also, I've been reading some West Wing fic, sometimes I get sucked into fandoms for a day or two, and I read some of my favorite fics. (Yes, I am diehard into Josh/Sam)

While reading through The West Wing fic, I came to a conclusion: some shows translate really well to fandom/ficcage and others don't. For me, some shows, The West Wing, Friday Night Lights, HIMYM, Pushing Daisies, have such distinctive styles that it's hard to catch that in fic. When I do find it in fic, it's amazing; but it's a hard thing to find. Especially with TWW, there is an exact style of dialogue for each character, so when I go for fic and the dialogue is just not there (and it is hard because Sorkin is amazing with that sometimes! Sports Night... \o/). Or maybe some shows seem so complete already that fic seems very extra sometimes. IDK, I feel like this should be a separate post when I'm not slightly sleep deprived.
