I mentioned a few posts ago that I had seen Fall Out Boy in concert for my birthday, and recently found myself wanting to explore one of the bands that had been there with them. I picked up a copy of Hey Monday's Hold On Tight, and it was a pleasant surprise. The band did a good job in concert of involving the crowd, and that night I did enjoy hearing their songs. After listening to the album itself, I think I've found a new summer favorite. I wouldn't say that it would qualify for album of the year, but it definitely has some really good songs on it. My biggest criticism is that, go figure, the songs are all very similar sounding. The singles How You Love Me Now and Homecoming are both very fun songs, but they could be hard to differentiate to a casual listener. My personal favorite from the album is Candles, which is the only song that I distinctly remember from the concert. That night, lead singer Cassadee Pope came out with just her acoustic guitar and began the song, only to be joined later by the rest of the band. The recording is very good, and one of the triumphs of the album. Josey is another great track, and one of those that I had heard before the concert. Overall, the album is filled with fun, power pop anthems that boast the high vocals of Pope and in places some very nice guitar parts as well.
Key Tracks: How You Love Me Now, Homecoming, Obvious, Candles, Josey, Hurricane Streets, Run, Don't Walk
Another new favorite that merits mentioning is the new single from All Time Low entitled Weightless. This was also played at the FOB concert in April, but at the time I did not know it. I finally got around to getting the single, and it is my song of the moment. The song is more reminiscent of the Put Up Or Shut Up era that it is of So Wrong, It's Right, which is a relief to me who was scared that they were fast becoming just a pop band rather than keeping with the idea of pop punk. I recently read in an interview with the band that the same worry was one of theirs following the release of So Wrong, It's Right, specifically I believe it was Rian Dawson who expressed the concern of the pop sound dominating them. But with Weightless, ATL has proven that they aren't losing touch with their roots, creating a single that is decidedly pop but boasts some stronger punk beats. The single has the makings to be the song of my summer, and it excites me for what is to come from their upcoming album Nothing Personal.

Tell Me You'll Remember, Forever Young...
So I haven't been doing too well keeping up with the blog. Lots of crazy stuff's been happening, and my life is very hectic, but I do have a spare moment. In all of my preparing to graduate high school and go on to summer work and then college, I have been really gearing up for summer. So I will describe some of my favorite summer albums.
Journey's Escape - My favorite album of all time from my favorite band of all time. Escape has so many great songs, both rock and power ballads. Chances are, if you have ever in your life listened to the radio, you have already heard half of these songs. This really is the ultimate summer album. Every single song screams summer to me.
Key Tracks: Don't Stop Believin', Stone In Love, Who's Cryin' Now, Keep On Runnin', Still They Ride, Escape, Lay It Down, Dead Or Alive, Mother, Father, Open Arms.
Boys Like Girls' Boys Like Girls - I first got into Boys Like Girls in '06 right after they first formed, and the summer of '06 I found their album on repeat not only in my mp3 player, but many nights I fell asleep to the CD in my boombox. I spent the entire summer in love with that album, and ever since then, I always put it on when I want to be happy or when the weather's nice.
Key Tracks: The Great Escape, Five Minutes To Midnight, Thunder, On Top Of The World, Up Against The Wall, Dance Hall Drug, Heels Over Head, Holiday. (yeah, so pretty much the whole thing.)
The All-American Rejects' The All-American Rejects - Another self-titled album from one of the best pop punk bands ever. I got into AAR the summer that I got into all of my other favorite bands in the genre, and they were really the first one I fell in love with. This is a really classic album, and pretty much every song is amazing. If you haven't heard Swing, Swing before, you are seriously sad.
Key Tracks: Your Star, Swing, Swing, One More Sad Song, Drive Away, Too Far Gone, Happy Endings, The Last Song.
The Academy Is...'s Almost Here - Okay, so there is no one who has a voice like William Beckett. Amidst the crazy similar voices of a lot of pop punk bands, William's voice has a unique sound to it. The album is very light and happy, while also having lyrics with substance. Basically a feel good album, perfect to put on repeat at work.
Key Tracks: Attention, Season, Skeptics And True Believers, Down And Out, Almost Here.
All Time Low's Put Up Or Shut Up [EP] - I have talked about this album numerous times, so I don't think I really need to say much more. I will say, though, that there is no song that is more summer to me than Coffee Shop Soundtrack. And The Party Scene. I'm such an ATL junkie...
Key Tracks: Coffee Shop Soundtrack, Break Out! Break Out!, The Girl's A Straight-Up Hustler, Jasey Rae, The Party Scene, Running From Lions, Lullabies. (yeah, that's the whole album.)
Cute Is What We Aim For's The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch - This was the album of my first summer going to Warped Tour, which changed my life. I played this album all the time that summer, and now whenever I hear it I go back to that first year at Warped Tour. I heard There's A Class For This on shuffle last week, and went "wow, I haven't heard this in so long!" Thus, I have been addicted to it for the past week. Go figure.
Key Tracks: There's A Class For This, Risque, The Fourth Drink Instinct, The Curse Of Curves, Moan, Teasing To Please (Left Side, Strong Side).
Mayday Parade's A Lesson In Romantics - I first got into Mayday Parade last year through a close friend, and then saw them on Warped Tour last summer. They were so good and quickly became one of my favorite bands. The album is very reminiscent for me of last summer, which was very fun.
Key Tracks: Jamie All Over, Black Cat, Jersey, Walk On Water Or Down, Ocean And Atlantic, Take This To Heart, You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Sky.
Panic at the Disco's Pretty. Odd. - This is one of my all-time favorite albums, and the only one I have ever bought on the day it was released. The songs are all amazing, and fairly upbeat and happy, emotions that I associate with summer. And it doesn't hurt either that Northern Downpour is my second favorite song of all time. And I figured that out the first time I heard it...
Key Tracks: Nine In The Afternoon, She's A Handsome Woman, That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed), Northern Downpour, Pas De Cheval, Folkin' Around, She Had The World, Mad As Rabbits.
Panic! At The Disco's A Fever You Can't Sweat Out - Okay, so this album doesn't scream "summer" but it is the season I associate it with. Another one of my all time favorite albums from my second favorite band. A classic.
Key Tracks: The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage, London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines, Camisado, Time To Dance, But It's Better If You Do, I Write Sins Not Tragedies, I Constantly Thank God For Esteban, There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet.
Paramore's Riot! - I will stop ranting about how much I love this album. Read some previous entries.
Key Tracks: For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic, That's What You Get, Misery Business, When It Rains. Miracle, Crushcrushcrush, Fences, Born For This.
Tall Stories' Tall Stories - You will never find this album in a record store. Tall Stories were a band in the nineties, but were quickly overshadowed by another band whose album released on the same day (ever heard of Pearl Jam?) So unfortunately what could have been one of the greatest rock bands never really got the chance. I found out about them because the lead singer was the lead singer of Journey for eight years, and I went to an old school record store and had to have the clerk order it for me. If you ever do get your hands on a copy, you will be the happiest person in the world. Trust me.
Key Tracks: Wild On The Run, Chain Of Love, Somewhere She Waits, Close Your Eyes.
So those are some of my favorite summer albums. Other artists that I associate with summer are Fall Out Boy (pretty much all of their songs), The Cab, We The Kings, Powerspace, and .38 Special.

The City Is At War.
Tuesday night I went to a concert in Lowell, Massachusetts with my two best friends. It was my eighteenth birthday present from my parents, which was back in February, but the deal was that they would get me a ticket and let me go on a school night and they drove us there. I sound like such a little kid, not driving myself! But whatever, that's not the point of this blog entry. The concert was my first Fall Out Boy concert, with Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Metro Station, and Hey Monday. Just the band list can give you an idea of how awesome the concert was, with two of my favorite bands in there. Two days later my neck still ached from head banging, and yes, it is possible to head bang all through All Time Low and Fall Out Boy sets. Hence my aching neck. All in all, it was an amazing show, and it inspired some new respect for bands I hadn't really taken much interest to before. I'll go through the show artist by artist and give the lowdown on what I thought of them.
First up for the night was Hey Monday, a band I have only heard a few times. One of my friends made me a mix CD a while ago with three of their songs on it, and when I first heard the CD, I wasn't that impressed with it. But I was pleasantly surprised seeing them onstage. Lead singer Cassadee Pope was full of energy that exploded on the stage, even when the vocals were drowned out a little by the guitars. The set lasted for only five songs, but Hey Monday were very successful at engaging the crowd for all of the set, inspiring a lot of singing and moshing down in the pit. As far as an opening band goes, they were very successful, despite some obvious technical difficulties with the vocals.
Up next were the better known Metro Station, the only band out there who can attribute their formation to the Hannah Montana show on Disney (Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso met on the set of their younger siblings' show.) I was a little more familiar with the songs of this band, so it was a little easier to gauge how well the performance went. Cyrus is definitely the entertainer of the group, and he knows it. While switching off singing duties with Musso, he went back and forth between playing his guitar and just singing, doing whatever it took to make as many girls scream as possible. Musically, the band did fairly well, also with a five song set that boasted their two singles, Shake It and Seventeen Forever. The show itself wasn't much to write home about, but all in all they did a fairly good job.
Following the boy band was another, the band that has been seriously dominating my iPod for a long while. All Time Low were, as usual, energetic and fun. They opened with Six Feet Under The Stars from So Wrong, It's Right and went on to play a seven song set mostly sampled from that album. As a live band, All Time Low does a great job of performing their songs well and true, and they are especially talented at getting the crowd involved. The only thing about their performance that did make me cringe was the constant string of profanities, which they couldn't seem to speak without. Guitarist Jack Barakat was able to gather what ended up being 200+ bras onto the stage and subsequently hung them from his microphone stand (which is something he does supposedly every night they play). The language does get raunchy and even embarrassing at times, but as someone who doesn't know a much better time than singing their heart (and throat) out to ATL's pop-punk songs, I was not complaining. Coffee Shop Soundtrack (which I have officially announced as my life's anthem) was the most exhilarating part of the performance, followed closely by Jasey Rae, both of which are tracks from the band's 2006 EP Put Up Or Shut Up. The other songs in the set were Poppin' Champagne, Dear Maria Count Me In, Shameless, and a new song Weightless from their new album Nothing Personal set to be released July 7th.
The last of the opening bands to take the stage was Cobra Starship. Aside from a few songs, I have never been a huge fan of Cobra Starship, neither have my two friends who went with me to the concert. But we were all in agreement that they did the best job after Fall Out Boy. And that is definitely saying something, considering my intense love for All Time Low and my friend's dislike of Cobra Starship. But the band showed a lot of charisma and stage presence, and did a wonderful job all around. Starting with The City Is At War, the opening track from ¡Viva La Cobra! the band immediately got the crowd roaring and jumping, with plenty of fangs in the air (you may not get this if you don't know the band). Although I don't remember the set list exactly, they did play Guilty Pleasure, Bring It (Snakes On A Plane) and Kiss My Sass, which seemed to be crowd favorites. Lead singer Gabe Saporta (who looks way too much like one of my friends at school) did an amazing job of not only involving the crowd, but also getting the rest of the band involved as well. All in all, it was a stellar performance that inspired me to wake up the next morning and rock out to ¡Viva La Cobra! on my way to school.
And of course, the headliners Fall Out Boy went last. Before I get into the actual concert, I must say that I have been waiting for three years to see them in concert. My two friends who I went with were the ones who got me into Fall Out Boy in the summer of '06 when we were working together, and ever since then, they have been one of my favorite bands. There have been a few times were I had the opportunity to see them, but never the means (*cough* money *cough*). But finally, for my birthday my parents got me a ticket. And I could not have gotten a better birthday present. I was on my feet for the whole set, which was about an hour and a half long. The only disappointments that I had with the show was that they only played a few songs from Take This To Your Grave, which is my favorite of their albums, and that they did a little political stuff that was unnecessary for a rock show. But other than that, the show was awesome. This concert marks the first time I have ever cried at a show, which I am not ashamed to admit. During the ballad What A Catch, Donnie from Folie à Deux I was that wack job standing with my arms in the air. And yes, I cried. (The only other time I have come close to crying was hearing Journey perform Faithfully a few years ago.) It was also really cool to see Hey Moday's Cassadee Pope come out and help sing on Sugar, We're Goin' Down and Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low come out during Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy. The best surprise of the show was hearing Homesick At Space Camp, which is my favorite song from Take This To Your Grave. Unfortunately though, hearing that meant that they didn't play Chicago Is So Two Years Ago from the same album. The band was not as energetic as I imagined they would be, but a few things happened that made up for it: one, lead singer Patrick Stump actually talked a few times which NEVER happens in concert. Two, bassist Pete Wentz got the crowd singing Happy Birthday to Patrick who had turned 25 the day before. Third, Andy and Joe were there. Enough said. Fourth, I got to sing the national anthem of FOB fans Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy with the rest of the crowd. And fifth, they didn't play too many songs from Infinity On High, which is my least favorite FOB album.
Here is what the setlist was (the order might be a little messed up though:)
1. Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes - Folie à Deux
2. Thriller - Infinity On High
3. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" - From Under The Cork Tree

The last of the opening bands to take the stage was Cobra Starship. Aside from a few songs, I have never been a huge fan of Cobra Starship, neither have my two friends who went with me to the concert. But we were all in agreement that they did the best job after Fall Out Boy. And that is definitely saying something, considering my intense love for All Time Low and my friend's dislike of Cobra Starship. But the band showed a lot of charisma and stage presence, and did a wonderful job all around. Starting with The City Is At War, the opening track from ¡Viva La Cobra! the band immediately got the crowd roaring and jumping, with plenty of fangs in the air (you may not get this if you don't know the band). Although I don't remember the set list exactly, they did play Guilty Pleasure, Bring It (Snakes On A Plane) and Kiss My Sass, which seemed to be crowd favorites. Lead singer Gabe Saporta (who looks way too much like one of my friends at school) did an amazing job of not only involving the crowd, but also getting the rest of the band involved as well. All in all, it was a stellar performance that inspired me to wake up the next morning and rock out to ¡Viva La Cobra! on my way to school.
And of course, the headliners Fall Out Boy went last. Before I get into the actual concert, I must say that I have been waiting for three years to see them in concert. My two friends who I went with were the ones who got me into Fall Out Boy in the summer of '06 when we were working together, and ever since then, they have been one of my favorite bands. There have been a few times were I had the opportunity to see them, but never the means (*cough* money *cough*). But finally, for my birthday my parents got me a ticket. And I could not have gotten a better birthday present. I was on my feet for the whole set, which was about an hour and a half long. The only disappointments that I had with the show was that they only played a few songs from Take This To Your Grave, which is my favorite of their albums, and that they did a little political stuff that was unnecessary for a rock show. But other than that, the show was awesome. This concert marks the first time I have ever cried at a show, which I am not ashamed to admit. During the ballad What A Catch, Donnie from Folie à Deux I was that wack job standing with my arms in the air. And yes, I cried. (The only other time I have come close to crying was hearing Journey perform Faithfully a few years ago.) It was also really cool to see Hey Moday's Cassadee Pope come out and help sing on Sugar, We're Goin' Down and Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low come out during Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy. The best surprise of the show was hearing Homesick At Space Camp, which is my favorite song from Take This To Your Grave. Unfortunately though, hearing that meant that they didn't play Chicago Is So Two Years Ago from the same album. The band was not as energetic as I imagined they would be, but a few things happened that made up for it: one, lead singer Patrick Stump actually talked a few times which NEVER happens in concert. Two, bassist Pete Wentz got the crowd singing Happy Birthday to Patrick who had turned 25 the day before. Third, Andy and Joe were there. Enough said. Fourth, I got to sing the national anthem of FOB fans Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy with the rest of the crowd. And fifth, they didn't play too many songs from Infinity On High, which is my least favorite FOB album.
Here is what the setlist was (the order might be a little messed up though:)
1. Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes - Folie à Deux
2. Thriller - Infinity On High
3. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" - From Under The Cork Tree
4. Sugar, We're Goin' Down - From Under The Cork Tree
5. This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race - Infinity On High
6. I Don't Care - Folie à Deux
7. Homesick At Spacecamp - Take This To Your Grave
8. Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet - Folie à Deux
9. I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me - From Under The Cork Tree
10. Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy - Take This To Your Grave
11. What A Catch, Donnie - Folie à Deux
12. (Coffee's For Closers) - Folie à Deux
13. She's My Winona - Folie à Deux
14. Beat It - ****Live In Phoenix
15. America's Suitehearts - Folie à Deux
Encore
16. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs - Infinity On High
17. Tiffany Blews - Folie à Deux
18. Dance, Dance - From Under The Cork Tree
19. Saturday - Take This To Your Grave
Overall, it was a pretty solid setlist, despite the absence of Chicago and a few others from that album that were supposedly played at other shows. It was an amazing night, and I would definitely recommend that anyone go see this band. They all did really well, but Fall Out Boy was definitely the best part of the night.

Nobody Wants To Hear You Sing About Tragedy...
I realized that when I was writing a few posts ago about albums that I was getting into, I missed a few. So here goes another few blurbs about some albums you should check out.
Folie à Deux by Fall Out Boy - There are a lot of problems with bands these days over-producing albums, especially when a member of that band is getting into the producing business. Well, Fall Out Boy is a bit guilty on that count with their new album Folie à Deux, which is contains a few tracks that are a far cry from sounding like three dudes on guitar and one on drums. Nevertheless, I have to admit that the album has some real gems on it, if you can overlook the fact that this is the same band who produced a punk/indie epic Take This To Your Grave a few short years ago. But the evolution of Fall Out Boy has not been sudden. From Take This To Your Grave to From Under The Cork Tree to Infinity On High, there has been a noticeable change occurring, sending Fall Out Boy from being indie rock heroes to the dominate faces on the walls of thirteen year old girls who want to date Pete Wentz. With Folie à Deux, they take one more step in the pop direction, which actually works well for them. The album's opener Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes is one of those songs that I can play on repeat all day and still enjoy. It is admittedly a victim of the aforementioned over-production, but sheer adrenaline-laced triumphance of the song makes up for that. My other absolute favorite from the album is the ballad What A Catch, Donnie, which features guest vocals from other Fueled By Ramen labelmates and Elvis Costello. The whole song is simply beautiful, and kudos go to the band for having their labelmates sing snippets from past Fall Out Boy singles, which brings the whole song's charm full circle. Beginning with Elvis Costello singing a verse from Folie à Deux's Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet, and continuing with Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta singing Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy, Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy singing Sugar, We're Goin' Down, Panic at the Disco's Brendon Urie singing Dance, Dance, Doug Newman singing This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race, The Cab's Alex DeLeon singing Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, and The Academy Is...'s William Beckett singing "Growing Up." The whole song is simply amazing, and a must hear for anyone. Other recommended songs include Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet, The (Shipped) Gold Standard, (Coffee's For Closers), and 20 Dollar Nose Bleed (which features Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco). The one song on this album that I cannot bring myself to enjoy is Tiffany Blews. It's not because the song is bad even, but just that it is a hip-hop song more than anything, not recognizably Fall Out Boy. I know that is a little mean, and I am all about letting bands progress the way that they want to, but I personally don't like that kind of music, and hearing it come from one of my favorite bands makes me a little disappointed. All in all, the album is very good, and has some tracks that are essential Fall Out Boy favorites of mine.
Take This To Your Grave by Fall Out Boy - After writing about Folie à Deux and having mentioned Take This To Your Grave a few times, I thought that I would talk about it as well. This is by far my favorite Fall Out Boy album. There isn't one song on this album that I don't love and often my friends and I talk about the best track. I honestly cannot choose between five: Homesick At Space Camp, Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy, Chicago Is So Two Years Ago, Calm Before The Storm, and The Patron Saint Of Liars And Fakes. This is an amazing album that is light and happy, while at the same time made of mildly dark lyrics. My two best friends and I consider this our summer album. This is one of the only albums of which I love every song.
Put Up Or Shut Up [EP] by All Time Low - I was introduced to this album by one of my close friends a few weeks before an All Time Low concert we were going to, and unfortunately it took me until after seeing them live to really start listening to the album. I absolutely love it, disregarding the fact that it's only seven songs long. The opener, Coffee Shop Soundtrack is one of the greatest pop songs I have ever heard. It's one of those songs that you can listen to over and over because it is just really happy and puts you into a great mood no matter what kind of mood you start with. The other song on this album that always makes me happy is The Party Scene, a proud anthem about being young and alive. The whole EP runs a little over 23 minutes, and thus is not hard to get through. The sound of the songs is very poppy, quite similar to the other pop-punk bands that have been recently dominating the music scene. With this first batch of songs, All Time Low is memorable, but not necessarily very original or unique.

Okay, so it's an admittedly lengthy list, but I like having a lot of different songs playing. This is shuffled, and with each rotation gets reshuffled, so the order doesn't really matter. But regardless, I think it's a pretty solid playlist with some favorites of mine and a lot of variety. I do tend to have multiple songs by the same artist, which some say make for a bad playlist, but I do it all the time. I love making playlists, and this is one of my favorites so far.
