As part of my ongoing effort to show everyone that Panic is now a band that actually likes music (as those who were at the Wal-Mart taping can attest, it was touch and go for a while), I wrote down every song that was played on their pre-show mix. It was totally worthwhile. These boys have excellent taste, and I want to lick them. (Oh, I meant to ( Read more... )

I'm gonna be honest with you. It's taking everything I have not to stop working on my stuff that needs to be worked on and do a item-by-item breakdown of why I so thoroughly love Pete and Patrick's 25 Best Songs/Albums of the Decade.
