daxius knows woefully little about bandom (all college's fault, I think), and I was educating her last night. And I promised I'd put together a list of some primers and such. So, here it is! Maybe this'll be of help to others as well. If not, just go a little lower - there's music!
The best resource you will ever find when it comes to bandom is
right here. It's a master post of primers, picpsams, communities, and a gazillion other things. It's all KINDS of amazing.
wistfuljane is my hero in that way.
She also put together a
ridiculously detailed account of bandom connections. Charts and lists and links! Goes to show how incestuous the whole community is, also.
I think many of these are linked in the above master list, but I'll put em up anyway:
•
The Hush Sound primer•
A history of Tom Conrad.•
Bandslash 101 •
Fall Out Boy pimp!post•
The Academy Is… pimp!post•
Panic! At The Disco primer•
another Panic! primer oh, also, you can watch videos of Pete talking about depression
here.
Music!
