I heart pop punk.Yes, it's true. I admit it.
Lagwagon, Eve 6, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Bodyjar, and now Fall Out Boy: this is good music to me.
Okay, you can stop laughing now.
I love the upbeat tempo, I love the harmonies, I love how tracks about how crap the world is sound exactly the same as the tracks about how you're going to conquer the world.
Unfortunately, I'm not 14 years old and I don't look like this:
Ergo, it's a dirty secret.
I acquired the new Fall Out Boy album last weekend and I absolutely love it. However, I had to get it over the Internet.
Walking into a Best Buy store to buy the album is the equivalent of going to Barnes and Noble to buy porn--it's there, and you walk by slowly while eying it in your peripheral vision, but you would never ever dare buy it. That's what porn stores are for.
That's what the Internet is for: to buy all the things you wouldn't dare get in person.
"From Under the Cork Tree" arrived in a discreet brown box marked only with "Amazon." And now I can sing "A loaded God complex/ cock it and pull it" on my way home from work.
With the windows closed of course.

see... this is why it was meant to be because i *completely* heart pop punk and i'm *dying* to buy fall out boy's cd...
but i'd just grab it, go up to the counter and purchase... there'd be less embarrasement than the "emancipation of mimi" buy... but they don't know it's for you...
"uh... it's for my... kid brother... yea..."
I love punk, emo, and all of those bands from the underground "less popular" ones to the "pop punk" bands. That is what Itunes is for, not even just the embarrasing ones!
I would say this is a logical step from your Butch Walker obsession...much like my dirty little "I like that Daniel Powter song" secret is an extension of my love of sad bastard music.
HEY YOU LISTEN HERE: BUTCH WALKER IS FUCKING GLAM AND HAS CONSISTENLY HAD THE BEST LIVE SHOWS I'VE EVER SEEN!!! NOT TO MENTION HE'S AN ABSOLUTE GENIOUS SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER!
I'm more or less saying that he is like the Godfather of Pop-Punk in a way...he may not sound Pop-Punk, but he writes songs and produces those f'ers...therefore, they are his bitch.
Nothin' against Butch, since he is so great a helping my friends move their tightly parked car and all...
You have been forgiven for your blasphemy.
