"I don't just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness."

Ryan Gardner

This week I've pretty much strictly listened to Fall Out Boy's Folie a Deux and Northstar's Pollyanna. I also read Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road, which is a truly great book (and movie).

Jack Appleby

The new The Company We Keep demos are great - very excited to reveal their new singer tomorrow. Other than that, been browsing through albums I missed earlier in the year - Metric, Basement, Lower Than Atlantis, and The American Scene.

Pretty much exactly what Ryan said, weird, along with Define the Great Line, England Keep My Bones and Alexisonfire's new EP

Is Pete wearing one of those Hi My Name Is Mark t-shirts at 4m20s? Back in 2009?

Re-watching the Wire. Recommend everyone who hasn't seen this show get on it. Also listening to a lot of Thrice Anthology.

I've had a bit of a renaissance with Alexisonfire, along with their new ep. The only thing that I've been reading that's not school related is House of Leaves, which I haven't had a whole lot of spare time for. Seems pretty wild from the little bit that I did read though.

Then anything The Chariot and ETID to prepare myself for their concert.

All I've been listening to this weekend is my friends band "ALCHEMY" and their new single Kiss You With The Truth: http://www.facebook.com/AlchemyTheBandMusic?v=app_178091127 385&app_data=eyJjb250ZW50LnRyYWNrIj oiMTU3MzA0MzE4NDYwOTU2NjcyIn0%3D

Check it out, give them some love, I'm so stoked for their new album. Can't recommend this enough!

Same with me. The Wire is my fav show of all time.

I've listened to this so much in this year. And this:

Listened to Strange Mercy the other night. Unfortunately I don't feel like I can listen to it a whole lot, even though I enjoy it.

sure looks like a pretty similar design.
