We're stoked to bring you a unique stream today, the first chapter of Tripp Underwood's new book, So This Is Readin'. In the book, Tripp talks about his years with the Unseen touring, and even playing a Bar Mitzvah for Aerosmith. It's definitely worth checking out as the entire book or four CD audio version of the same.

You can check out the entirety of Chapter 1 right here.

I was wondering what the hell he was doing with his own band page. I'm super excited to read this, those "History of the Unseen" things they used to have on their website were really fun to read.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

if you haven't...

i suggest you read the story about the history of world/inferno on their website. what an awesome story

Worst book title of the year?

TheOneTrueBill (October 5, 2006)

I thought it was funny.

MonkeyFracas (October 5, 2006)

I'm definitely gonna have to pick this up. I like what I've read/heard so far.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

This should be a great read.

Coldwaffles (October 5, 2006)

I'm not the biggest Unseen fan, I like what I've heard, but I might pick this up just because it seems like an interesting read.

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

Is it really still a stream? I get confused easily.

Coldwaffles (October 5, 2006)

audiobook. yes. its a stream.

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

Nevermind, I just realized it's the audio version. Color me retarded.

Ike_Ness (October 5, 2006)

You are the least funniest joke account on here.

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

Ike_Ness (October 5, 2006)

I'm sorry, that was harsh.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

What's a Bar Mitzmah?

JoshCBFL (October 5, 2006)

It's the coming of age party for 13 year old Jewish boys.

Bat Mitzvah's are the girl equivalent.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

No, that's Bar MitzVah...

Someone (October 5, 2006)

enh, the comment doesn't make sense anymore, there was originally a mispelling in the article, it has been fixed.

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

They're sneaky like that.

mashole (October 5, 2006)

whens this come out?

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

Tuesday.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

sounds pretty good

JustLikeDelilah (October 5, 2006)

Ok, so I might be flamed for this but... Is giving mixtapes to girls lame or not?

and if not, what songs should I put on this list?

I was thinking Emily by From First to Last
Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional

any suggestions would be nice L0LZ!!! :]

Someone (October 5, 2006)

Plain White T's suck

kingofsuck (October 5, 2006)

Please tell me her name isn't Emily. Also, I would advise against putting FFTL on any mixtape.

Coldwaffles (October 5, 2006)

Depends. If you're actually doing it to give her music you love, that's cool. In that case, give her music you actually love.

Just based on your top eight albums on the org', I'm sure you could work in a Bouncing Souls song, a Lawrence Arms song, and maybe the acoustic Chalkline by Strike Anywhere.

Then again, I don't know, the girl you like might like harder stuff, and might find that shit lame. Who knows?

SteveJonesTheRealBones (October 5, 2006)

depends. what are you trying to accomplish with this mix tape?

are you already poking her? trying to poke her? orjust trying to hold hands?

- your kung fu sucks!

JustLikeDelilah (October 5, 2006)

I'm happy you guys are taking this seriously, because I was pretty serious. up until the time I listed songs(that all was a joke).

I am already poking her, and I don't know what I should be putting on here to try and like tell her how I feel about her. I can make an entire tape from bob dylan and bright eyes songs, but I want to be a little more unpredictable. Suggestions are nice, because I can always check out the songs.

JustLikeDelilah (October 5, 2006)

Oh, and also..

She's really into like good emo music like The Appleseed Cast, The Get Up Kids, and Christie Front Drive. I was planning on using "I'll Catch You" By the Get Up Kids, but I also wanted to keep some variety. Here's my list so far:

I'll Catch You- The Get Up Kids
Lifetime- The Bouncing Souls
The Luckiest- Ben Folds
Girl From The North Country- Bob Dylan
Still- The Foo Fighters
Boys No Good- Lifetime(sort of a joke I guess.)

Someone (October 5, 2006)

Seriously lame.

Just throw on a bunch of songs you've been listening to lately and say "this is what I've been listening to lately, if you don't like it, it's understandable." Unless you're a Hatebreed fan or something. There is no point in trying to come off as "girly" on a mixtape- they will see right through that if they're not stupid. Mixtapes are all about the gesture, anyway. No one really listens to them. Include a note explaining everything.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

Also, metal doesn't lend itself well to mixtapes no matter who they're for (unless it's genre themed, which is so 8th grade).

-Will

kingofsuck (October 6, 2006)

If her tastes are even relatively close to yours, just don't worry about it and put whatever you like on it instead of what you think she will. It will totally sound better that way.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

me so horny - 2 live crew

TrueBeliever (October 5, 2006)

Little Richard - Tutti Frutti
Beatles - I Wanna Hold You Hand
Aquabats - Red Sweater
Billy Bragg - Sexuality
Buddy Holly - Oh Boy!
Suburban Legends - Bright Spring Mornings
Clash - 1 2 Crush On You
Hepcat - Dance Wid Me
NOFX - I Want To Be Your Baby
Pietasters - Out All Night
Doors - Touch Me
Cure - Close To You
Ray Charles - Hallelujah, I Love Her So
Reel Big Fish - Alternative Baby
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Ramones - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

In that order, the trick is to mix up the type of music you put on it and put some funny songs in there, if that doesn't work for you then just rape her and move on to the next one =)

JustLikeDelilah (October 6, 2006)

Thanks dude, that's a good list.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

my bangs are taking over my face.read my punk book.

Punkinohio (October 6, 2006)

Hhahahahahahahhahahahaha

Someone (October 5, 2006)

This is fuckin dumb. of all the potential punk writers I wanna hear from , this guy is the least of them.

Someone (October 5, 2006)

See, that's why there's this thing called "choice".

It's crazy, because, you can actually CHOOSE to read the book or not.

Isn't that amazing and completely revolutionary!?

kingofsuck (October 6, 2006)

I've got bad news for you, but Mark and Tripp actually came to my house and held me at gunpoint while Tripp read the book in its entirety. Watch out.

Someone (October 6, 2006)

Oh damn.

You got owned.

Archangel (October 5, 2006)

Is anyone else thrown off by the "stoked" in this article? Just doesn't sound like a PunkNews post.
