Live at As It Is’ biggest headline show to date, this is ‘The End’ in London over the weekend.

i'm in actual fucking tears.

i'd sell a kidney for this tour to come to south america

~talk's a waste of time~

We live in The Great Depression. Live in London.

CHILLS!

i need this tour

I NEED IT, PLEASE.

omg, i'd spend every penny i've got to see them live. i swear.

idobi Sessions: As It Is - “Okay”

this song means so much to me and this version is so heartbreaking.

~talk's a waste of time~

APTV Sessions: WATERPARKS - "Stupid For You" (Acoustic)

i love how Awsten can sing all those runs live like it's not a big deal.

~talk's a waste of time~

YES!

i’m taking your word, Benny-boy!

i mean, i’ll pay anything, i’d fucking sell a kidney. i need this to happen. i need As It Is to come play TGD in Argentina. i just NEED it.

i know it’s not like they ‘announced’ it, and it may never happen. but at least there’s hope. a little bit of hope.

~talk’s a waste of time~

p.s.: curious enough, i was thinking just yesterday how i wouldn’t pay 1800 pesos (that’d be like up to 50 dollars, and over half the money i make a month giving one-on-one math classes) for 30STM (cuz let’s be honest here, their last album “AMERICA” ain’t their best work) but i’d totally pay more for either As It Is, Waterparks, Paramore, or Panic! At The Disco (Brendon, just fucking tour fucking South American at least ONCE!). so, anyways: priorities, i guess. also: #sign...?

PLEASE BEN, PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Patty, please...

... stop being so cute, you adorable little shit.

i can’t take it.

Cellar Sessions: As It Is - "The Fire, The Dark" (August 8th, 2018 City Winery New York)

so, you know how i keep saying that i don't quite love the verses of "The Fire, The Dark"?

i really, really love this.

also: why does it feel like a cover? it's weird. maybe because it's Patty (and covers were his thing in YouTube) and he changed it up so much...?

idk, i fucking love it.

~talk's a waste of time~

so Warped Tour ended forever...

... and that is so fucking sad.

growing up as an "alternative/emo/whatever" teenager, going to Warped Tour has always been a dream of mine. needless to say, living in Argentina that was never gonna happen, but the dream stayed alive as long as Warped Tour did. now that it's gone... i feel like a part of my life is over. that sucks. like graduating, kinda. it also really sucks that i'll never get to experience it.

anyways, just wanted to say that and share a few (amazing) photos of ΛS IT IS taken by Dieter Unrath, because the man is a fucking genius and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. you can almost hear the music in them.

bonus pic of Benny-boy because he didn’t take a pic of ma boi Foley :(

bittersweet af. but here we are nonetheless... it's hard to accept that time moves only forward and nothing lasts forever.

~talk’s a waste of time~

true dat, Tom.

i agree with him completely.

as music goes, i usually  buy stuff from artists i like without a doubt. and if i’m unsure i’m gonna like it, i’d download it, and if i do, then i’d buy a physical copy. but, the problem comes when most of the artists i support and love aren’t edited in my (third world) country (Argentina) and so i am literally unable to support them and give them my money. before you even suggest it, no. i do not buy digital music, because: firstly, i don’t have the means to. and secondly i have this irrational fear that if i can’t have it in my hand then it can be taken away from me by something as simple as a trojan virus. i KNOW all purchases are saved in ‘the cloud’ or whatever, but still- i don’t know, i said it was irrational. either way if i could have access to physical copies i would totally give them all my money, even though musicians don’t make much profit from record/singles purchases anyway. they make most their money through live performances. and if you’re wondering, yes. i go to every concert all my favorite bands play in my country because i am lucky enough to live in the biggest city where they all come to play. if i didn’t, i probably wouldn’t be able to. because in case you didn’t know, Argentina is a very big country and you cannot simply ‘take a train to anywhere’. so, thank god i live in Capital because i love going to concerts. it is truly a magical experience and also: yeah, bitches, you are incredibly talented, take all my money,  you deserve it!

as far as series and movies go, too. my sister and i are big, big fans of A LOT of series and movies (we follow over 20 series per week) and we buy all the physical copies we can get our hands on. maybe we do illegally watch it at first, but that’s because in this god forsake  country, some of these arrive very, very late (like, we’re still waiting for season 3 of “Arrow” to be edited. We’re on season 6 motherfuckers, get your shit together!). and also movies. and my mom pays for Netflix. and i looooove going to the cinema. a, it’s a whole different experience. b, shut up and take my money.

also books, comics and manga. that shit’s expensive, but i save up and buy them because i love supporting the artists. and, let’s be honest, digital has nothing on physical as far as books go. the weight of the book, watching the drawings up close... sorry, digital has nothing on it. (and i do have the same irrational fear of it being taken away from me... sorry).

so, yeah. i’m a big supporter of the arts. but sometimes i have no other way but to make use of piracy. as sad as that sounds u.u

~talk’s a waste of time~

p.s.: i was saving money to pay my mom in order to purchase “Oscar’s Hotel” and now Vimeo took it down. so i might never be able to watch it in my life :(

happy b-day, Beebo.

i love this massive star to death. so much talent in such a small human being. i adore him with my life. i’m telling you, my whole life.

i’ve been following this man since Panic! At the Disco became a thing. i was there from the beginning. and i would follow him to the end of the World.

“Sick Of Losing Soulmates” - dodie

what a strange being you are.
God knows where i would be

if you hadn't found me sitting all alone in the dark.

[...]

what the Hell would i be without you?

this reminds me of my best friend. i’m really emotional about this song lately and i don’t really know why? maybe because my best friend is on the other side of the World right now and i miss her. i mean, she’s on vacation having fun and i’m happy for her (obviously), but i don’t know. i just really miss her.

because what the Hell would i be without her?

~talk’s a waste of time~

human > flawed > perfect > i love her.

i wanna see her live so bad! why the fucking fuck do i live in South America?! T_T

i feel like she needs a hug.

i wanna give her a hug.

~talk’s a waste of time~

Would You Be So Kind? - live | dodie

oh, would you be so kind as to fall in love with me?

you see, i'm trying.

i know you know that i like you but that's not enough.

so if you will, please fall in love.

i think it's only fair.

there's gotta be some butterflies somewhere, wanna share?

'cause i like you but that's not enough.

so if you will, please fall in love with me.

~talk's a waste of time~

everytime you feel like your life is shit and the World is out to get you, remember

Brendon Urie is an actual person that lives and breathes and exists.

AND WHAT A FUCKING GEM HE IS!

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! THIS BOY CAN SING!

fucking hell, Brendon just saved my March 22nd.

OH MY GOD I DON'T HAVE ANY WORDS TO SAY.

i'll stop yelling now. just watch the fucking video because this kid is amazing.

also: new bassist. on fucking point with her 5-string bass guitar. girl, respect.

I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR THE WHOLE ALBUM.

(yes, i went back to yelling, deal with it)

~talk's a waste of time~

put your nose in paperbacks instead of smoking cigarettes

these are years you’re never getting back.

he would’ve been 42 yesterday.

i hate this. i miss him so much. i didn’t even know him and i’m miss him so fucking much. i can’t even imagine what his family and friends are (still) going through. it just hurts so much.

it hurts.

i miss you, Chester.

i miss you terribly.

and i hope you’re OK. i hope you’re happy, wherever you may be.

post apreciativo: Nickelback

porque, a) no entiendo por qué la gente los odia, y b) tengo tatuada una frase de ellos, así que independientemente de lo que me puedas llegar a decir, los voy a defender (?)

"Curb" quizás no sea el mejor CD de la historia, pero ¿el primer CD de quién es excelente? "The State" ya remonta un montón. o sea: Chad no será el mejor cantante, pero "Breathe", dejate de joder. ese tema es bueno. siento que la gente odia de una manera particular y efusiva "How You Remind Me" (cambiamos de CD, "Silver Side Up"), y no lo entiendo. está bien, la canción no está para Grammy® (aunque los Grammy® son un chiste, como los Oscar®), pero tampoco es mala. "Too Bad" es alto tema. encima habla sobre su vida, es personal, no critiques, perra. y más allá de las letras, Nickelback esu na banda de rock pretty clásico, o sea si no te gusta está bien, pero me parece que la música que hacen es bastante decente dentro del género. "Where Do I Hide?" es un claro ejemplo.

OK, te admito que "The Long Road" es más de lo mismo. pero rescatemos "Someday", "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good", y "Figured You Out". si el video de "Someday" no te hace llorar, no tenés corazón (ya sé que no tiene directamente que ver con la banda, pero igual). además, la canción es hermosa, callate. "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good" es tal cual, es la vida real. como dijo Hayley Williams (Paramore) hace poquito "I should've known when things were getting good/that's when I get knocked down". y bueno: "Figured You Out", gente tóxica. gente queriendo "salvar" gente que no quiere "ser salvada". está re buena, para mí. fight me. además: Ryan <3.

y así llegamos a "All The Right Reasons". el primer CD que escuché de ellos y probablemente siga siendo mi favorito. me encantan todos los temas de este álbum, pero voy a destacar "Savin' Me", que fue la primera canción que mis hermanos y yo escuchamos de ellosy bueno: "teach me wrong from right" terminó en mi piel. también está "Photograph", que parece una página de su diario personal. me encanta. tiene todo ese gustito a nostalgia que es hermoso y hace una canción muy difrutable (y buen corte en vivo). y hablando de canciones adorables: "Far Away". por dios. y bueno, "Rockstar", que está quemadísima, pero mi viejo la tiene como ringtone de llamadas del celular desde el 2006, más o menos.

"Dark Horse" es un espectáculo. tengo sentimientos encontrados con "Something In Your Mouth", porque por momentos es slightly misógina, pero a la vez es como que la mina está como quiere. no me ofende. y musicalemente re da para recital. "Burn It To The Ground" formó parte del soundtrack de "Transformers 2", lo cual ahora que lo pienso no sé si es algo bueno o malo. pero en fin. está buena. power song cuando vas caminando por la calle. si el video de "I'd Come For You" tampoco te hace llorar, replanteate un transplante de corazón. "Just To Get High" es el mismo concepto que "Too Bad" y me encanta. es bien rock y bien personal. no tiene desperdicio. y, perdón, pero "This Afternoon" es la mejor canción para relajarse del universo. lo dije.

la gente categoriza "Here And Now" como "post-grunge"... ponele. las canciones "fuertes" de este álbum dejan un poco qué desear en comparación con las de "Dark Horse", pero "Lullaby" es una canción muy importante para alguien que luchó/lucha con depresión y alcoholismo como Chad. además se la dedicaron a Chester Bennington al día siguiente de su muerte: "oh, Chester here comes a lullaby/your very own lullaby". "Don't Ever Let It End" es una canción salida de una película de Disney® y me encanta. es hermosa.

"No Fixed Address" volvió bastante más fuerte. vamos a ignorar el hecho de que Chad se casó con Avril por acá en el medio (no critico: amo a Avril Lavigne. la re banco a muerte, mal). pero bueno, nadie puede ignorar "Satellite". y, sorry, pero "The Hammer's Comin' Down" es genial.

Mirá, sin querer llegué a "Feed The Machine". o sea: si te gusta el rock estilo ZZ Top, te va a encantar este álbum: "Coin For The Ferryman", "Must Be Nice", "For The River". y después joyitas como "The Betrayal (Act III)" que viene fuerte con el céltico y después se pone heavy. y "Everytime We're Together" que se pone más tranca.

como último, me gustaría rescatar que más allá de que te cope o no el estilo de música, los 4 flacos son buenos músicos. quizás Mike está un poco pintado o no destaca tanto. Pero Dan con el uso de la doble pedalera ("Follow You Home", "The Betrayal (Act III)", entre otras) es espectacular. y Chad y Ryan se tocan altos riffs. sino, escuchá "The Betrayal (Act I)". y la voz de Chad me gusta. da para el género. y da tanto para canción "heavy" como "pussy", así que, shut up. todo esto sin contar que en vivo suenan bárbaro.

moraleja: sigo sin entender por qué la gente (sobre todo los yankis) odian a Nickelback. quizás es porque son canadienses...? no sé, pero yo los amo. y son una buena banda, fight me.

gracias, Jenna. te quiero.
