You'll always be the one, the one that stands dead center in my most perfect day

GOOD MORNING. I should not be posting, because I am behind on comments, which I will rectify TODAY. Forrealz. However, I did want to share some things:

- zabira posted Panic! GSF, My Charade is the Event of the Season, and it is super-hot and I recommend it! ♥

- Look at these incredibly adorable fall sweaters for some of the ladies of DC comics ( ( Read more... )

CARRIE I AM PASSIONATELY INTERESTED IN YOUR MWK FEELINGS. I AM HAVING SO MANY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK ABOUT THEM WITH. And YES, "Call To Arms." YES. That growl/wail thing Andy does on the last "let it alone," with Neal shredding underneath it? HNNNNGH. HOTTEST 5 SECONDS OF AN MWK SONG EVER.

And ugh, that confession. Like, okay, that person is entitled to think that Neal is unattractive and unwashed and whatever, but the idea that he's not a good guitarist? I am sorry, Confessional Person, but you are OBJECTIVELY WRONG ON THE INTERNET and I dismiss you entirely as a result. WHATEVS. (And if you have been converted to the joy of the Tiemann, maybe you might find some things to enjoy here?)

HOWEVER I AM VERY HAPPY AND CAPSLOCKY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE DAVE AND THE BOYS ARE IN SAN DIEGO AND NEAL IS IN SAN DIEGO AND THIS CANNOT BE COINCIDENCE AND ALL THE SADFACES IN MY HEART HAVE BEEN TURNED TO GLEEFACES BECAUSE AWWWWWWWWWWW. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (I'd LOVE if he sat in with them for a song or two, obviously--though I'm not sure that wouldn't be a dick move with regard to Devin, since he's still so new to the band, but IDK--but just the fact that he freaking DROVE TO SAN DIEGO to see them makes me STUPIDLY happy. EEEEE MY HEART. BOYS. BE ALL HAPPY AND STILL FRIENDS, OKAY? *smooshes them all together*)

I HAVE ALREADY CREEPED YOUR NEAL POST LIKE A CREEPER. <3333 And I have absconded with one of your icons. Because...creeper.

Everything happening on "Call to Arms" appeals to me on this base "ngh" level, but that growl? HNNNNGH. Andy Skib, I just don't even know what to do with you.

That confession, I know, right? Like, I guess it's cool if you don't like the tattoed/"just rolled out of bed after a bender and maybe an orgy" vibe of Neal's (personally I'M GOOD WITH IT, although I also recognize that he's this huge doofus nerdface), but to go after the guitar skills? And to say it in such a know-it-all way like "sorry, you don't know good guitarists." NOPE. SORRY FOR YOU, YOU'RE CLEARLY DEAF.

AAAAAH, BOYS REUNION!!! This is the time when I wish Dave were touring on his own, so there would be time for Devin to do his thing AND for Neal to step in on some songs. MAYBE EVEN MWK SONGS.

HEEE. YAY! ♥

Yeah, as it happened, JaB was actually the last album of theirs that I heard, and when it got to Call To Arms, I was like, "I DID NOT EVEN KNOW ANDY COULD DO THAT." YUMMMMMM. I love the way Andy and Neal meet in the middle on those albums--the fusion of their styles and skills is SO GREAT. (You saw the JaB liner notes, right? THEY ARE SO DELIGHTFUL. ♥ I have a hard time picking a favorite MWK album, but that one and Incoherent seem to have the largest percentage of songs I go back to the most. Though Luna Despierta is also awesome! And of course the Sanctuary Sessions are a whole other precious gem of amazingness. UGH. CANNOT CHOOSE. Hee.)

"just rolled out of bed after a bender and maybe an orgy"

LOL. YES. Though honestly, considering who he's dating, I wonder how Neal ever leaves the bedroom, EVER. Because DAMN. Kira is a one-woman orgy. HEE.

NOPE. SORRY FOR YOU, YOU'RE CLEARLY DEAF.

EXACTLY.

This is the time when I wish Dave were touring on his own, so there would be time for Devin to do his thing AND for Neal to step in on some songs. MAYBE EVEN MWK SONGS.

RIGHT? YES. (Oh, dude, if MWK plays shows in Tulsa this winter or whatever, YOU MUST GO, OKAY, and tell me all about it!) In the meantime, I will settle for pictures of post-show shenanigans. Andy and Kira are both camera-happy (BLESS THEM), so PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR ME, YOU GUYS. *puppy eyes*

I really hope Neal and Kira have as much sex as we imagine them having. Because...COME ON.

I think my favorite start to finish is Incoherent, maybe because it was my first one? And I LOVE "Make Me" and I LOVE "Circles Anthem" and them bookending each other is my favorite. But I also love Luna Despierta and am really getting into JaB. And the Sanctuary Sessions are my life. (I used "Under the Milky Way" on a mix recently and one commenter was like OMG MWK! and I was like ONE OF US.)

I WILL GO AND I WILL STALK (although not REALLY because I see posts from THEIR ACTUAL STALKERS and it weirds me out) AND REPORT BACK.

They must be. They MUST. Also Kira canonically has a fair amount of bondage equipment, so... that must be nice? For them? Ahem. (Oh man, I tweeted Kira earlier today to get a coupon code on her Etsy shop [before I remembered that I DO NOT ACTUALLY WANT A COUPON, because I want to give her moneys, especially considering that all she sells that I could wear are very cute and very inexpensive hair bows, but oh well] and had that awkward moment of HEY I'VE WRITTEN PORN ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND. AND YOU. UM. SORRY I'M NOT THAT SORRY? *facepalm*)

I used "Under the Milky Way" on a mix recently and one commenter was like OMG MWK! and I was like ONE OF US.

YAY. Yeah, that album is MAGICAL. (We're coming up on the year anniversary of that, actually, since they released it on Halloween last year, because they are dorks.) I mean, I expected to like it, obviously, but the way they brought so much new meaning even to older songs was incredible, and the piano, and Neal SINGING, and how beautifully simple it is, and EVERYTHING. Ugh. MAGIC.

I WILL GO AND I WILL STALK (although not REALLY because I see posts from THEIR ACTUAL STALKERS and it weirds me out) AND REPORT BACK.

YES PLEASE DO.

HAHAHAHA. (I have read your Neal/Kira porn, BTW, and just realized I didn't comment. Which is a damn shame, because...DAMN.)

It sounds weird to say, since I've only been a fan of theirs recently, but I love how mature the Sanctuary Sessions sound. Like, they've obviously evolved as musicians (even though they were great before!) and I love seeing it. AND NEAL SINGING. MORE OF THAT, SIR.
