ProjectPele

There have been some amazing releases already this year (and some poor ones…) so I thought I’d rank my preferences so far:

1. Paramore - Paramore 9/10 (239 plays)
2. Fall Out Boy - Save Rock and Roll 8.5/10 (190 plays)
3. Senses Fail - Renacer 7/10 (88 plays)
4. Mallory Knox - Signals …

Now I’ve listened through The Greatest Generation several times, I can safely say that it has replaced Paramore’s S/T as my favourite album of 2013 so far. I love it.

1. The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation 10/10 (211 plays)

The Wonder Years.

I really can’t wait to see them at Slam Dunk on the 25th!

I’ve only seen them once before (November 2011) and I didn’t really know any of their material. I’d seen their name bouncing around on Tumblr and they happened to be playing my hometown the weekend I was visiting, so I just bought a ticket. But despite only knowing a couple of songs, I thought they were amazing.

So now, 18 months later, they are one of my favourite bands and I’m finally able to see them live again. I cannot wait!

Slam Dunk 2013

We still have to wait for the stage times to know who we can see exactly, but from the stage splits it looks like I’ll get to see:

Tonight Alive
The Story So Far
Transit / Mallory Knox
Man Overboard
Ace Enders / Allister
The Wonder Years
The Early November
Andrew McMahon

Awesome.

The Upsides is split across three different titles in my last.fm account :(

Albums of 2013.

There have been some amazing releases already this year (and some poor ones…) so I thought I’d rank my preferences so far:

1. Paramore - Paramore 9/10 (239 plays)
2. Fall Out Boy - Save Rock and Roll 8.5/10 (190 plays)
3. Senses Fail - Renacer 7/10 (88 plays)
4. Mallory Knox - Signals 6.5/10 (179 plays)
5. The Story So Far - What You Don’t See 6/10 (82 plays)
6. Transit - Young New England 4/10 (39 plays)

and then later this year: Man Overboard, The Wonder Years, CIWWAF, Jimmy Eat World, 30STM, Andrew McMahon and Real Friends will be releasing new material too! Hell yeah 2013.

With the final Slam Dunk announcement, this is who I want to see:

All Time Low
Kids In Glass Houses
The Early November
Allister
Mallory Knox
Senses Fail
The Wonder Years
Man Overboard
[spunge]
Fireworks
Transit
The Story So Far
Handguns

Acoustic sets:
Andrew McMahon
William Beckett
Ace Enders
Class of ‘92

The last two years I saw 10 bands each time, which means I won’t be able to see 7 of the bands I’ve just listed. What a downer.

Seriously, if any of these bands clash at Slam Dunk I ~~may~~ will cry.

Definitely getting on The Wonder Years pre-order.

But do I get the tee on small or medium? Life can be difficult sometimes…

# The Greatest Generation

I don’t think I updated my own poster after the last announcement, so here it is. I’ve kind of massively gone off FYS since I added them to my poster, so I may remove them next time.

My top 5 ‘have to see’ bands are:

1) The Wonder Years
2) The Early November
3) Man Overboard
4) Andrew McMahon
5) Mallory Knox

I’m seeing Senses Fail and Handguns the night before in Newcastle, so unless there is no one else even slightly worth seeing playing when they are, I won’t see them at the festival.

This is my afternoon.

# Sleeping On Trash

Cannot freakin’ wait!!

We put some Pop Punk on at the party last night..

..to replace the dub step rubbish that had been on before and one of the girls turned to me looking pretty angry and said “you know it’s not 2006 anymore!!”

- what happened in 2006!?
