i cannot look at a mountain dew without thinking about that. just as i can't drive by an arbys without saying "i'm so hungry i could eat at arbys"

Holy_Balls (May 11, 2009)

every time i have $20, i think about buying peanuts.

avodrocyelir (May 11, 2009)

explain how!

the_other_scott (May 11, 2009)

haha.

baldsteve (May 11, 2009)

I do both of those things, and I also do the Peanuts thing that Mr. Balls mentioned. The simpsons is more than a show, it's totally permeated through my life.

ffwoodycooks (May 11, 2009)

im allergic to peanuts.
but, whenever i park somewhere, i always say "remember, we parked in the itchy lot" even when no one else is in the car with me. its a force of habit now.

baldsteve (May 11, 2009)

My wife said that to me when we parked at Universal Studios.

ffwoodycooks (May 11, 2009)

sounds like a keeper

rebeccaa (May 11, 2009)

is this serious? good god.

Holy_Balls (May 11, 2009)

new american steel record>new smoke or fire record.

ffwoodycooks (May 11, 2009)

probably but, i cannot wait for either

TheSandwiches (May 11, 2009)

i think smoke or fire is going to be more melodic, but from the one song i've heard from american steel i think it is going to be more creative over all.

baldsteve (May 11, 2009)

I'm excited about both. I think Am Steel is totally fusing Communique with their sound.

Pela, the band that opened for Gaslight totally reminded me of American Steel in their live show.

ffwoodycooks (May 11, 2009)

doesnt surprise me. i always thought American Steel was the better band.

baldsteve (May 11, 2009)

I was about to email you a punch in the dick until I read "prediction"

HeyLittleFingers (May 11, 2009)

please add flatliners to equation. I thought the great awake got undeserved slack on here.

spoon_of_grimbo (May 11, 2009)

yeah, people seemed pissed because they weren't a suicide machines clone anymore, but i think that album's one of the best skatepunk albums in ages.

Cheesetits (May 11, 2009)

I think this prediction will prove faulty.

avodrocyelir (May 11, 2009)

i dont even want to choose.

abracadaver (May 11, 2009)

Are either of these even confirmed for release?

badbrain (May 11, 2009)

boooooooooooooo

too soon.

HeyLittleFingers (May 11, 2009)

Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, and The Bravery? I find it funny because I don't think I've heard a song by any of these bands, yet I always confuse the three when people talk about them and figure they sound the same.

Holy_Balls (May 11, 2009)

they kind of do. they're for people who hate the killers because that chick in history class likes them and she also likes nickelback.

SloaneDaley (May 11, 2009)

I hated that chick in history class.

Holy_Balls (May 11, 2009)

the only history she knows is the history of shitty bands. i told that hoe!

avodrocyelir (May 11, 2009)

zing

evildeadalive (May 12, 2009)

You have heard Franz Ferdinand. Trust me. They're in all kinds of shitty commercials.

Kaiser Soze(sp?) > Kaiser Chiefs

What about the Kaiser Chefs? I hear they make a mean roast-beast

ffwoodycooks (May 11, 2009)

nocigar (May 11, 2009)

sounds like a good playlist.

nocigar (May 11, 2009)

The new green day fuckin rules! Best record to come out in the last 10 years! Anyone who disagrees is obviously retarded...

JoelSweetheart (May 11, 2009)

really, the bravery? really? and Franz Ferdinand? those Gang of Four wannabes?

pshaw.

TEAiM (May 11, 2009)

Were the Kooks, Razorlight and The Killers all busy? way to align yourself with totally mainstream indie-pop bands.

ChadReligion (May 11, 2009)

I think this is the worst lineup of openers for Green Day, but then again, it didn't Simple Plan open for them during American Idiot tour?

Sugarcult, New Found Glory.
My Chemical Romance.
Jimmy Eat World.

lostandclowned (May 11, 2009)

I think they're choosing shitty bands so they look extra good by comparison.

Sliced-T (May 11, 2009)

I doubt choosing had anything to do with it.
