Disappearing Act/Panic's New Song
I have come back to the livejournal interwebz after a looooooong hiatus. I'm not sure how long, I didn't check. But I don't remember the last time I posted either.
But after signing in to my ND account and listening to the post of Panic's song "Mona Lisa," I of course felt compelled to see what the kidz on the ole LJ had to say about it. And after reading the comments, maybe it's me, not them, lol.
Frankly, I'm underwhelmed. I had low expectations that unfortunately this song didn't meet. I won't completely write them off yet, though, I know there's other songs to be had on an album, and I'm hoping at least one strikes my fancy. But I'm not keeping my hopes up. I wasn't a fan of New Perspective, either- except for when Brendon played it acoustically at Angels and Kings, it is beautiful acoustic.
So, my Panic infatuation might be completely laid to rest with the release of this new album. But honestly, I'm not bothered. I've recently fully-discovered Tegan and Sara (I've owned and enjoyed their album So Jealous since 05, but never expanded beyond that until recently for reasons unknown [because I was too busy being obsessed with PATD!]) and have listened to nothing but them in the past month. And they are fucking brilliant. And funny and adorable. And I am not compelled in any way to write fan fiction about them, lol. I'm perfectly content fantasizing about making out with Sara in some parc in Montreal while sipping our takeout from Second Cup. Perfectly content :)
I hope you all have been treating yourselves well. If not, well what are you waiting for, go get some peanut butter cups, you deserve it!
