decaydance10's Journals on Buzznet http://decaydance10.buzznet.com/user/journal/ en-us <![CDATA[Seriously?]]> http://decaydance10.buzznet.com/user/journal/2294961/ Greg "Garbo" Garbowsky is the bass guitarist for the band Jonas Brothers.
from his blog:

i'm embarrassed to say this, but i am enjoying listening to the new Panic at the Disco album, "Pretty. Odd." which came out last week. They were the band i loved to hate; bad music and bad makeup to go with it. but now i find myself driving around alone listening to the new album screaming, "why do you have to be so good?!?! agghhh!" after nearly running over a hobo, i realized the reason it's so good is because it blatantly rips-off the beatles' "sgt. peppers" album. it's worth noting for those of you keeping score that "sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band" is also widely accepted as the greatest album of all-time. the beatles were such a phenomenal band, that even mediocre bands who mimic their style 41 years later will still sound awesome. For teenagers on a steady diet of fall out boy, this will likely be their first introduction to a psychedelic influence in pop music. I hope this somehow begins a musical journey for these kids which ultimately leads to discovering the works of the fab four. "Pretty. Odd." isn't about Panic at the disco - it's a testament to how great the Beatles still are.

unfortunately this record is listenable from start to finish, which is exactly what i keep doing. i really really didn't want this to happen. but it did. cheers to you panic at the disco. well done.

everybody rips-off everybody; they just happened to rip-off the best. smart move.

FLASHBACK
Nicole had one dream in life, to be a dancer.  She practiced at every single chance that she could, and it showed.  Dancing was her life…until it all got taken away.

“I’m sorry, but we just can’t afford it right now!” explained nicole’s parents.  This wasn’t easy for them, but they had no other choice.

“This isn’t fair!” Nicole shouted as her parents stood in the frame of her bedroom door, reeking of bad news.

“What am I going to tell all of my friends?! I’ve worked so hard!! Don’t you even care? I can’t live my life without it! I CAN’T!” Nicole was raging inside.  She didn’t know how her life was going to turn out.  It would be completely ruined now that she was being taken away from the one thing that never got old to her.  She was in love, with dancing.

*3 months later

Nicole’s POV

“Hmm, who is that?” I whispered quietly as I searched through my aim buddy list.

“I don’t remember adding this person” I smirked slightly, wondering how this mysterious name magically showed up out of nowhere.

After I had to stop dancing, things hadn’t been the same.  I was no longer in the loop, and many of my friends no longer considered me a “friend”.  They didn’t need me for any purpose in their life anymore.  I tried to move on, acting like things were okay but it never really worked.  There was an empty whole in the inside of my heart (believe it or not) where dancing used to be.  However, I tried to fill that void with countless hours on the computer, and thousands of conversations with my “internet” friends.  Yet, it never worked.

A window for a conversation popped up.

“hey who is this?” I asked waiting for a detailed reply.

“uh, this is nick…I know your friend brent” he replied within a matter of seconds.

(I never really did like brent.  He was always the creepy kid in the back of the classroom who would give your phone number out to all of his friends.  His friends being people whom I did not want my number to be given to.)

“umm cool, I’m Nicole just in case you were wondering.  How old are you?” I questioned

(I was seventeen, in search of something to find, not yet knowing what.)

“I’m 16, how old are you?” he seemed really eager to find specifications out.  As did I, I suppose.

“I’m seventeen.”

“awesome :D”

It all started with that minute long conversation.  Something so simple and forgettable that turned into something so unbearable.  Minutes turned into hours.  Hours turned into days.  Days turned into weeks.  Weeks turned into months.

*No ones POV

As the months flew by Nicole and Nick were inseparable.  They spent every waking moment they could, together. Then, things changed.  At first nick was marvelous boyfriend always doing and saying the right things, he loved Nicole.  But after a few months, harsh words started spewing out of nick’s mouth, tearing apart at the inside of nicole’s soul.  Every day she wondered why she was still with him.  Trying to make excuses for him every times she came home crying.

END FLASHBACK

“You’re worthless.” Nick stated as he was talking to his girlfriend of four months.

Nicole simply stayed silent taking in the cruel expressions that had just entered her ears.

After mere seconds had passed, the only words Nicole managed to pry from her mouth were:

“…whatever”

An awkward silence filled the conversation as Nicole drifted off into thought.

*Nicole’s POV
I couldn’t let this happen again.  Come home or get off of the phone and burst into tears.  I have to end this some how.  But what will I have if I end this? I’ll be exactly where I was months ago.  This is what I tried to fill my empty, null self with after dancing was ripped away from me.  This is all I have, and apparently this is all that I think I deserve.

“I have to go” I told him as disappointment filled the airwaves of the phone line.

“but why??” he seemed so oblivious I couldn’t believe it!

“umm my parents said I have to get off the phone”

“alright, love you” those words pierced through my ear drums as slow as they possibly could after exiting from his lips.

I hesitated, not knowing what to say.  I love him don’t I? Yes, I love him.  I love him.  I love him.  I love him.  He’s just so mean.  Why should I have to deal with someone so mean especially if they so-call love me?!

A million thoughts traveled through my brain in a matter of seconds. Before replying with some of the simplest, most powerful, 3 words you will ever speak.

“love you too” I said.  The words barely escaped from my mouth.  I felt disgusted with myself for letting those words slip yet another time.

The conversation ended as dark feeling turned in the pit of my stomach.  This eerie pain occurred almost every time I got off the phone with nick.  I realized I was in tears as I looked up from the phone that had just been shut.  I didn't know what to do. This man boy was obviously not good for me.  And something needed to change.  Somehow.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

ohhhhh k.  So i decided that i wanted to make my own fan fic.  I know there are tons of fan fics out there but I thought this was a neat way to kind of get things off of my mind.  Like channel all of my energy into writing!! Plus it was lots of fun :D muaha
anyway.  I know this first part might have been kinda boring, but it's just the intro! so stick around for chapter 2!
buzz+comment please!!
pee ess: this does have panic at the disco in it....they're in parts to come :D
love

The sophomore album from the Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen artists debuted at No. 2 on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 album chart. It follows the success of the Las Vegas-based band's platinum 2005 debut, "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out," which debuted at No. 1 on SoundScan's Current Alternative Albums chart.

The success of "Pretty. Odd." signifies the band's best-ever sales week.

"I'm excited, I don't know what to think about that," Panic at the Disco drummer Spencer Smith said during a phone interview from Louisiana. "It seems surreal."

When it came time to create its sophomore album, Panic at the Disco (guitarist Ryan Ross, vocalist Brendon Urie, bassist Jon Walker and Smith) wanted to make sure it was exactly what they wanted.

"Luckily we didn't have some A&R guy from the record label watching everything we were doing, giving his opinion," Smith said. "It was pretty much us, just writing exactly what we wanted, and that's what made it so fun. It took us a little while, but eventually we all became focused and on the same page. And it really became a band or group writing experience."

Songwriting inspiration for "Pretty. Odd." came from a variety of experiences, one of which was the band's quick rise to fame.

"In the last couple of years, everything's happened so fast for us," Smith said. "We went from a local band to doing a headlining tour within a short amount of time, and it's definitely something that was very much a part of our lives. That's what a few songs are about."

The first single from "Pretty. Odd.," "Nine in the Afternoon," is quickly climbing the charts; currently a Top 10 on alternative radio. The single's music video was directed by Shane Drake, the mastermind behind the band's 2006 MTV Video Music Award-winning Video of the Year for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." The video for "Nine in the Afternoon" is currently the No. 3 most-played video on MTV and the No. 1 video on Fuse.

All in all, Smith says the band just wanted to make sure they were "one step further than our last album." And yes, he feels they've achieved just that.

"For where we are right now, I think it's a good representation," Smith said. "We're just having fun playing the songs, and now that the album's out we just want to see people in the audience singing along."

Panic at the Disco will get to hear plenty of fans chiming along during its headlining spot on the 8th annual Honda Civic Tour, which stops at the House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach on Tuesday with Motion City Soundtrack, The Hush Sound and Phantom Planet.

Fans will have a chance to drive away in a brand new 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. A portion of each Honda Civic Tour ticket sold goes to a special eco-fund. Concertgoers can log on to www.spin.com/ecocontest to enter.

"It was something we wanted to get our voice out there about," Smith said of the environmental cause.

I try so hard to leave you behind
But the pain and misery become one.

I settled for less than what I deserved
I regret it every day.
My tears turned into anger,
"I love you" was all you could say?

You ran me over any chance you could
Yet nothing I would do.
I thought that you would change,
I thought that I loved you.

You and my best friend
I thought I'd never see.
I hope she tasted good.
How could you do this to me.

Your words were nothing but lies.
every single one.
Stab my back and slit my wrists.
Finish the job till your done.

1. I'm not going to go through every single song and tell you what I like and what I dislike and how I think that pretty. odd. is an "oh-so-beatle-esque" themed try at panic finding their official sound of music.  Because I don't think any of those things.  I absolutely love Pretty. Odd..  I have heard lots of people saying how they "should have kept the style of Fever",  but I couldn't disagree more.   Don't get me wrong, I loved the style and lyrics of how things used to be, with Fever, but everyone changes.  You, me, everyone.  And no one has a problem with it.  So why should we?

2. This album is marvelous.  The lyrics, the new style, and the beautiful addition of ryan, spencer and jon's voices.  I am officially in love with it, even after stabbing myself accidentely while trying to open it.  I don't have a favorite yet, because they are all awesome.  Once I put it on my ipod we'll see which ones I listen to the most.

3. Some more awesome things:
Brendon's voice when "The Piano Knows Something I Don't Know" starts/ends sends chills up my spine.
I love how "We're So Starving" goes straight into "Nine In the Afternoon".
I love how they added brendon to "Behind The Sea".
I love ryan's voice.
I lmao when I uploaded pretty. odd. to my itunes, it kept the "!" in Panic! At The Disco. (gosh i haven't written it like that in ages)
I love the album artwork.
These songs=brilliance.

The bottom line is. This album owns me, my world, and I will be blaring it out of my speakers for eternity.  There is a defenite possibility that I will randomly quote any and every song from this masterpiece.
"But who could love me? I am out of my mind.  Throwing a line out to sea. To see if I can catch a dream."

love
