EL PASO, TEXAS. 10/19/09

Adam catches me while I catch up.

Outside of a mexican restaurant on the border with Mexico just beyond the highway, kissing the horizon. Migraine headaches and guacamole don’t mix. Whiskey and secondhand smoke choke sunrise conversation. Strained souls from six straight bask in self r

Here’s a bit of a Saturday Night Music Club warmup. I haven’t listened to the new Killers album in a couple months but I woke up with about 5 of the songs stuck in my head. Day and Age is very solid album, if you haven’t heard any of it I suggest you do pick it up. Pretty cool video as well.

FRIDAY FILM TALK

I was fortunate enough to catch the midnight showing of Spike Jonze’s film adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are last night. It is the best film I’ve seen thus far this year. I’ve seen some mixed reviews, and I’m certain some of those who are particularly attached to Maurice Sen

From William's Blog: Pieces of Parchment Vol. 1

Flying used to do considerably different things to my perception. The cutting contrast sharp, yet not alarming. For instance, in the past, flying domestically on the same day as a show was met with spoiled-brat belly aching, pervading prima donna parallels. I’d huff and I’d puff and I’d blow my manager’s email inbox down. As sand-blasting, throat-parching, and voice-crackling airplane cabin air can be, I find myself complaining less these days. Whether it be a product of maturity, exhaus

A classic scene featuring Jon Favreau, from the insanely underrated movie SWINGERS.

From a more deliberate, primitive time when the now nearly obsolete “home answering machine” was most prevalent… The mid 90’s.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the number one reason to never call someone on the same night that they give you their number.

Just TRY watchin

Oct. 13th. Flight 101.
Ominous numbers to some.
A slicing Chicago cold to California connections.
Stinging eyes, parting tithes.
I miss you both already.

Final destination Bakersfield, CA.
If my memory doesn’t do me dirty, I’m pretty sure we have 8 California shows. Los Angeles tomorrow!
I’m sorry

Taking Back Sunday - Miami

Saturday Night is upon us! I hope you’re all having a wonderful evening/morning/afternoon (time zone consideration, anyone?). I’m sitting on our bus in lovely Omaha, Nebraska hanging with the Mayday Parade fellas, listening to a multitude of musical magic. I was seriously considering posting a Cursive song being that we’re Saddle Creek soaked in Omaha, I thought I’d pull a wild

I’m sitting on the bus in the Clutch Cargo’s parking lot sipping some tea with Sports Center on, my good pal Zach Borgman, who’s enthusiastically celebrating beer:thirty. My tour ‘getup’ arrived just in time this morning, via over night air, and I’m honestly ITCHING to play tonight. We’ve been rehearsing all week and we’ve got a handful of surprises in store for this tour, including a few songs we’ve NEVER played live before. Enticing, no? Well, I WILL say that

This show looks great. The premier was hilarious.

Of course a show like this comes along the week before I leave for a 2 month tour on which I won’t be able to watch it. Oh. if it weren’t for the wonder of television on the internet.

For the admirable few who are still holding out on getting a Twitter account.

Something Corporate - I Woke Up In A Car

Our first big tour in the history of the band was like a dream come true. We were young, hungry and naive, wide-eyed and ready to tour and tour and tour. When Andrew McMahon welcomed us onto their headlining tour in 2005 we were not only huge fans of his entire catalog, but we also learned a great deal about the importance of a genuine, passionate and flawless live
