Hey, bandomy folks, is there a reason that I haven't found Panic on The Sauce any place I looked? Because I was forced to (poorly) edit it and post it ( to YouTube )
They whisper to each other! Jon doesn't know the adjectival form of "to break"! I remain convinced that they just don't have a publicist to curb their behavior.
I have cartoon hearts in my eyes for Ryan Ross. Frodo, Lesa, Frodo!
Also, dude, I've totally been writing! See:
Spencer thinks the girls at the signings fall into a few distinct categories: the ones who either haven’t heard the news or don’t care, the ones who want to convert him back to heterosexuality, and the ones who shout “Kiss! Kiss!” every time he and Jon get within a foot of each other. Jon is amused. “We should have looked into more threesomes when we were still hooking up,” he says thoughtfully one night after they’ve just had a gaggle of girls scream when Jon grabbed him around the waist to pose for a picture. Jon had burst into giggles and then nuzzled his face into Spencer’s neck, eliciting even more screeching. When he tensed, Jon pushed the hair away from Spencer’s face with his nose and whispered in his ear, “Careful. They’ll think I’m an abusive boyfriend and it’ll be all over the gossip sites by tomorrow.” Spencer had ducked his head down, thinking that he might as well play “the shy one” today, because “

OMG I love it! Oh I do, the categories, Jon's thoughtful musings, and in the midst of the joking, Jon's awareness of appearances and public interpretation. MORE! More, I say!
Okay, I have no critical distance with Panic, because I'm at the omgilovethemsomuch stage of fannish engagement (also, I came for the gay porn and stayed for the music), but I'm actually fairly excited for the new album, musically. Their first album is really adventurous and there are songs on it that I love, but they're much better musicians now. And the advance reviews of the album that I've read say they're as weird and verbose as they used to be, so I'm hoping it doesn't end up being straight up Beatles pastiche, which is what the new single would lead you to expect.
Wow, I had no idea I'd thought about this that much.
See, my issue is purely semiotic. I don't know why, but the phrase "nine in the afternoon" infuriates me. It has no real or associable meaning for me, and always sounds like some flagrant attempt to *be* weird.
Kinda like they're laughing up their big gay sleeves at me.
Harmonically and melodically, it's an interesting track - although I miss the more percussive vocal elements from the other songs that I've heard, and the very tightly arranged wackiness, musically, that I had come to expect from them (I write sins, not tragedies?). That new track sounds a little bit too much, musically, like all of the other little pop punk bands out there.
I think everyone expected me to be this over the top about it.
See, I don't listen to much pop punk, aside from stuff by other people I write porn about, so I totally don't catch similarities. All my annoyance at the song is based on the fact that they don't seem to know how to balance their quirkiness with their newfound love for 60s arena rock.
And the title? I blame it on the fact that they're stoned pretty much 24/7 and it seemed funny at the time. It's also a remarkably good hook to hang marketing on, and they've had presales and premieres at 9pm for a bunch of their stuff recently, because it's something people can remember.
