Every year I try to convince Midtown. In my perfect world this year’s headliners would have been Fall Out Boy and Midtown. I’m going to get them – I think it will be next year or 2015. Every year I go after them first and then Jay-Z, and as soon as they say no I know that it’s a normal year. Midtown know when the right time will be. It has to be a mutual thing.
After making a snarky comment (is there anything else from me?) on my instagram account to Rob Hitt (Midtown) about buying the vinyl that were announced yesterday, Rob responded that neither the band nor Drive-Thru know exactly how this is happening and that they're looking into this pressing. We'll keep you updated when we hear more.

Last week, you all thought that The Starting Line's "Surprise, Surprise" would make for the best next single off of Based on a True Story. Now we'll go with another pop-punk album that we at AP think should have been bigger. It's time to put yourself in the role of a record company executive here, because it's your turn to decide what should have been.
Living Well is the Best Revenge was Midtown's major-label debut with MCA/Drive-Thru. Released on April 16, 2002, it was a pop-punk album that had potential to hit it big but for some reason never achieved the status that many believed it could have.
Your job is to change that. We want to know, if you were in power, what song you...
