What a difference time makes

[wishfulclicking]

So If I had been posting hours earlier, this post would have probably been sprinkled in emo and boredom; but, not anymore! Thanks to some sort of LJ freeze (IDK!), I stepped away from the internet (maybe I could say unplugged ;) and came back and my flist is full of good things:

*If there was ever any doubt about why I adore Patrick Stump and why he is not only preaching sex from a microphone stand but is also my favorite. His current blog post explaining the Blender brouhaha (I have always wanted to use that word, it's true) just solidified that. Though I still stand by my offer to hug Joe Trohman :)

*The LJ panic has died down, so we all can breathe easy and get back to our good work of writing porn.

*Critics are still confounding me about Panic at the Disco. And really, if I wasn't confused by critics, then I wouldn't be me, so that is a good thing.

*That prompt thing, it's coming together well. Hooray to finishing!

*Listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is always a good thing.

*TOP CHEF!!!!

* Did anyone watch Nip/Tuck?

exactly. it's all music, but the "real" music is so much more significant to me.
it's fascinating how music seems to be this universal thing that everyone understands. everyone adds a different kind of value to music, but everyone knows and understands and appreciates it, you know?

Would I still want it even if it wasn't the current big thing?
i tend not to know about many unsigned/unknown bands, just because i don't actively search for them. does this make me a bad music snob? ;)

oh yes, i love it when people are good live. live is the way music should be. god, i love concerts/festivals. the ambiance, the feeling of being one with the crowd. i love it. it makes my soul happy.

I don't know about many unsigned/unknown bands either. (so we can be bad music snobs together :) Usually if I hear something I like, I try to see what else they do; or if I read a lyric I love, I have to know who wrote it.

I remember one critic said something like good music will still be played five years from now, I would like to believe that; well good music and music that is really popular now.

Concerts are one of my favorite things. You can't really catch that same feeling through any other medium. You're there with fellow fans and everyone pretty much loves the band/performers so you're all there to have a good time.

I want to go to so many more shows this year.
