My birthday is on the 21st. They're obviously doing this on purpose so I have something fabulous to buy with the HMV gift certificates my clueless relatives will undoubtedly get me :D :D :D
Also, harmonicas and sliding guitars? Fuck YES, Ross. Especially if it's Brendon who plays the harmonica. Can't you see it? It would be so camp!
In the words of the immortal Britney Spears: gimme gimme more. Uh.
Guys, I think I'm actually excited about the new album now - between this and Pete's quote about the Wizard of Oz. Actually legitimately excited. \o/
P.S. Aww, even Spin thinks they're adorable! *pinches Ross's rosy little cheeks*
P.P.S. Whoa, drop enough names there, Spin? The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, AND The Beach Boys. No pressure, guys. Seriously.
ETA: Some quotes from the
Billboard.com article Turns out, Ryan is the one on harmonica
Along with some horn and string orchestral arrangements, "I played harmonica on a song and did some slide guitar, which we've never done before," Ross notes.
And we gave Panic!/FBR a hefty share of our pocket money last year
Not long after the album's release, the act became a headliner on the road, grossing nearly $6 million from 50 concerts in 2006, according to Billboard Boxscore.
Finally, "making music" is apparently code for smoking the ganja weed
"Nine in the Afternoon," which the band road-tested on summer gigs, is about "all of the things you get caught up in while you're in a band ... then coming back and realizing that it's just fun making music with your four best friends," Ross says.
(What you talkin' 'bout, Willis? Four friends? Has Brent been swinging by the studio or something, Ryan? :S)
