[xhrkbhrl]

Hello again! Before I get started with this week's Music Monday, I have a question for you all:

Poll

Thank you very much for helping me with my inability to make a decision! Now, on to the actual point of this post. Today we are going to be talking about five guys collectively known as

mmmm I love Commit this to Memory. thanks for all the background info! :)

[xhrkbhrl]

You're welcome! I love Commit, too. I always want to say it's my favorite of their CDs, but then I listen to the other two and realize that I just can't decide.

Yay, MCS! They have been one of my very favorite bands for several years, being awesome hometown boys and all. :) It's good to see them get some love over here!

[xhrkbhrl]

It's terrible, I'd heard "Everything Is Alright" on at least three separate occasions before I finally thought to Google the lyrics and find out who wrote that awesome song. I've loved them ever since. :)

hometown boys?
as in, you are from minnesota too?

OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WE SHOULD DEF BE BFFS NOW.

Perfect choice of tracks from CTTM.

Justin's a master at self-deprecation, at taking humorous jabs at himself about things that really aren't funny, are in fact kind of worrying. But he's excellent at making light of his problems, so it can be hard to really realize how messed-up some of his lyrics are at first listen

This just perfectly describes it.

Oh wow, thank you so much. ♥

I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU LIKE BURNING AND CANNOT DECIDE WHAT TO VOTE FOR.

Part of me is all "NON US BANDS." and another is all "I've been curious about CIWWAF since forever!" I'll probably peer pressure you into making all those posts and posting them in your journal.

Also, yes. Apparently I haven't read CTTM's thank yous ever, or at least in a long time, because I didn't know about all the connections. And I loved your explanations of each album, and and and.

I could talk for days. But I will just ♥

[xhrkbhrl]

NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!

If you don't vote for CIWWAF I might just do a primer anyway.

I hadn't, either! MAN OUR FANDOM IS SO INCESTUOUS AND I LOVE IT.

I am glad you liked the album run-throughs! Those are the part that took me longest, those and picking songs. That was very difficult. D:

Ilyyyyyyyy. ♥ ♥ ♥

[truthtruthlie]

You should post a CIWWAF primer. All I know is they're on FBR. And... something about a person named Shaant. I STILL DK WHAT TO VOTE FOR.

Hold Me Down is actually my favourite MCS song, and if I ever get tattooes, I'll probably get a line from it. And I liked your tracks from the other albums, but my faaaaaave off of EIIKM is Last Night.

Juuuuuuuustin.

[xhrkbhrl]

I know...slightly more about them than that, but I would still have to do some research. VOTEEEEEEEE.

I do like "Last Night", but I had to force myself to only include a third of the songs from each album because otherwise they wouldn't be just teasers any more.

Justinnnnnnn. Ilhim so much.

Augh, so much love for MCS. They rock my little toe socks.

[xhrkbhrl]

I love them kind of a lot. I wish people talked about them more often!
