That song is one of the few that can right off put me in a good mood; I think it must have something to do with watching A Knight's Tale on TV some time and the one scene where they're all dancing funky to, strangely enough, 'Golden Years ( Read more... )

Found on the interwebs: Rhino Preps Massive Goth Box. Read the whole thing. It's a little funny. Apparently it'll even come with a companion show on MTV. Subculture, meet superculture.

Random mindless fun thing of the day: planning out Daylight Basement videos in my head.

('12 Doors' would involve some OC-esque scenes of hipster kids walking around a venue whispering lyrics, or writing them on bathroom walls or what have you, framed from the nose or the mouth down, and on the last chorus it'd cut to the band on stage and ( Read more... )
