Tears... Goodbye to the Panic At The Disco we all know

I'm sure by now everyone has probably heard the news.

Panic At The Disco (as we all have known it for the past 4 or 5 years) is splitting in half, moving in different directions...

I cannot express how truly sad I am this happened. It makes me so sad. I've been a fan since the beginning. I love every song, even though some more than others, that they have ever made. Covers included.
I just don't understand... I feel kind of ditched. Like the guys just quit on us. It makes me mad. I want to go and smack them all and scream, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE????? WHY? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU ARE LETTING DOWN? I bought your albums, your posters, my friends invested in other stuff for me. AND YOU DITCHED US. WHAT. THE. HELL???

Sorry, that was my rant. All things considered, I still love all the Panic guys (Although, I love Brendon in a "OMG. Someday I want to marry you and live happily ever after. Will you be my prince?" Sort of way, but the other guys of Panic are pretty much awesome.)
I wish Jon and Ryan the best of luck on their new venture, and I'm looking forward to having some new music to listen to. However, if you think things aren't working out, feel free to rejoin Brendon and Spencer. ;)
That being mentioned, I'm glad that Brendon and Spencer have decided to continue doing Panic At The Disco. That way at least my shirts won't be a total waste. After the next album, I forsee myself doing some major redoing of my room (Due to the fact I have many PATD posters.) Although, there are 2 posters that will never be removed: The Rolling Stones poster and the one my friend got me from Hot Topic. I'll miss Panic as we know it, but, hey, there is new Panic being made! Pete Wentz has said so on his Twitter, and the security guard of Panic also said that everyone is happy and doing what they want and that all of the music is awesome. So that gives me hope.

Ok, all this sadness aside. I'm going to give my favorite Panic At The Disco songs from 2004-present:

Ok, so I've never thought about it before, and I don't know my all time favorite Panic song. I could tell you my favorite Fall Out Boy song quick; but with Panic I don't know.... So the last song on the list will be what I have decided is my favorite. Here we go:

• "Mad As Rabbits": This is one of the best ones. Everyone sings, and they just seem to have a ton of fun playing it live. I also love it b/c it's original, and there's nothing else like it.
• "But It's Better If You Do": The simple fact is that this song is just pretty awesome. I don't even know how else to describe it... Everything about this song is perfect. The vocals, the music, the drums, the piano.... The lyrics. It's just fantastic. I love it all. And not to mention the video is awesome... ;)
• "Folkin' Around": How many alternative rock bands can make a country-ish song? Not many. How many can do it well? One. That is Panic at the Disco. Moving on.
• "Time To Dance": This is mine and my friend Caroline's (Blog: Carolina Rain) jam! We have a dance to it. It's based on the book Invisible Monsters, which I plan on reading soon.
• "There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet": This song will give you a self-esteem boost. It's awesome. "Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer? I've never looked better and you can't stand it!" Awesome.
• "I Write Sins Not Tragedies": It's their first hit. That tells you it's awesome. :)
• "Northern Downpour": It's beautiful. Very relaxing. I love it. Listen to it. It will make you want to sleep.
• "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off": This song is so sexy. The lyrics, the vocals, the music. Very hot. ;)
• "When The Day Met The Night": An epic love story. A weird love story, but an epic one. :) Makes you think when the sun goes down and it's kind of dark but still light. In the middle of Summer it's a great song to listen to.. ;)
• "Camisado": It's an awesome song. I could listen to it over and over again. And I will. haha. It happens quite frequently.
• "Nine In The Afternoon": This song is so wonderful. It's happy, it's summery and it never gets old. I will always love it. The video for this is also my favorite PATD video! :D
  

And now for the finale of favorites!
"The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage": This was the first Panic song I ever heard. Ever. On the Sirius radio. I saw the artist and I thought it was the song title. "I was like, 'Panic at the Disco? what kind of song name is that? Sounds danceable." Then MY FATHER, yes my dad, explained that it was the band name not the song. We rewinded the radio and listened to the song again. The next thing I remember, I was watching videos on MTV a couple days later and there was the "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" video and I go, HEY! THAT'S THAT BAND! But, hey! That's a different song. I like it! From then on, I vowed to own the Panic At The Disco album. A few days later, I did. We listened to it all the home on my long car trip and I knew that I was hooked.

and now there's a surprise..... A tie for first!
"That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)": Like the title of my blog? Listen to this song. The words spill unfound from a pretty mouth. :D This song is absolutely awesome. It's relaxing, and encouraging and it's just about life and it's amazing. I love it. It will always be one of my favorite songs. :)

Ok. This is pretty much the last list, and the video favorites. (Least to most favorite)
7. "Build God Then We'll Talk"
6. "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off"
5. "Northern Downpour"
4. "That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)"
3. "Mad As Rabbits"
2. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies"
1. "Nine In The Afternoon"

I have some unanswered questions: Will the new album be Panic as we've known it until now? Will there be a farewell tour? What happened that caused all this so out of the blue? There wasn't a fight was there?

Ok, that's all. I know it's a long update but I have a lot on my mind about this.
I love Panic At The Disco. I will always love Panic At The Disco. I'm interested to see how this whole announcement plays out and to get some answers to my questions.

As the wise security guard of Panic At The Disco has said, "It's like your parents getting divorced. It sucks at first, but eventualy it's TWO CHRISTMASES AND TWO PARTIES." I agree. I have experience about that. It's very true.

I love Panic. Always will. Diehard forever. <3 :)

Folie A Deux. My personal track by track review. :)

I give it five million stars. Their best lyrically and vocally, in my opinion. Good (but some strange) collaborations. This is the easiest Patrick has been to understand as far as I can tell. No song is the same. All are fantastic. Now, read my track by track review.

Track 1: "The Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes"- Good. Beautifully spoken/sang intro. I love it. It was a nice way to start of the record. It kind of reminds me of their "Thriller" off of Infinity On High. I'm not sure of what it's about, but the lyrics are good. My personal favorite are the chorus. "So boycott love. Detox just to retox. And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life. And perfect boys with their perfect lives, nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy." Beauitful.
Track 2: "I Don't Care" You've probably heard it. "I dont' care what you think as long as it's about me." A play on how Hollywood thinks (according to lead singer Patrick Stump). How no one cares about what's going on as long as people are thinking about them. High powered, fast -paced. Good choice for the first single.
Track 3: "She's My Winona"- One of my favorites, definitely. My favorite lyrics are the chorus again. Or at least part of the chorus. "Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between. Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes and DAddy said, 'You gotta show the world the thunder.'" I don't know if the "baby boy with long eyelashes" is about little Bronx Mowgli or not, because it was written a good while before it was even confirmed to be a boy (I think anway, I'm not sure.) Mr. Stump shows us he can sing the word "thunder" at an amazingly hot level on this song. and I mean it's HOT. Trust me.
Track 4: "America's Suitehearts"- I may have talked about this one. It was released on iTunes on their countdown. It's one of the highlights. It's fun and features some of the best guitar on the records. Awesome lyrics, too. "Down, set, one. Hut, hut, hike, media blitz. Let's hear it for America's suitehearts. I must confess, I'm in love with my own sins." I like the first part. There's lots of talk on sin and some religious stuff referenced in this.
Track 5: "Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet"- It reminds me of the 80s. It was also release on the complete my album deal on iTunes. "Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?" it's kind of cool how he wrote in character. It seems to be about how he won't end up like all other Hollywood couples with Mrs. Simpson-Wentz. I'm not sure. I like it though. It goes from high energy to slow in seconds. It takes skilled people to pull that off.
Track 6: "The (Shipped) Gold Standard"- I like this one A LOT. This has to have some of the best lyrics. I have two favorite lyrics in this: 1. "I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs, but I'm afraid someone else will hear me." and "The time my dad called (caught?) me a horseshoe crab, and I asked him if throwing me (him?) back into the sea would bring our luck back." The beat to this song is catchy and it gets stuck in my head very easily. It kind of (I'm not sure) seems like this song is talking about their hometown of Chicago.
EDIT: i forgot the best lyric of the whole albume: "Sometimes I want to quit this all and become and accountant now, but I'm no good at math and beside the dollar is down..." HAHAHAH. funny stuff, Mr. Wentz. Funny stuff.
Track 7: "(Coffee's For Closers)"- I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. It's so amazing. My favorite lyrics from this would have to be.... the whole song. But mainly: 1. "Oh baby, when they made me, they broke the mold." 2. "I want everything to change and stay the same." 3. "Fly your cameras in the air, and wave them like you just don't care." 4. "I will never believe in anything again. Change will come. Oh, change will come." 5. "We will never believe in anything, kick drum beating in my chest again. Preach electric to a microphone stand." There is one point when Patrick sings "I will never believe in anything again" that sounds like he is in emotional agony about never believing. This song is truly beautiful and talks about losing all hope in life. Perfect for those depressed moods. Ends with some very beautiful horns that might have fit on Panic At The Disco's Pretty. Odd.
Track 8: "What A Catch, Donnie"- I've talked about this one. Chocked full of guest vocalists and talks about feeling so unlovable and not understanding how anyone ever could. Very beautiful. Features Panic At The Disco's Brendon Urie, Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta, The Cab's Alex DeLeon, Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy, The Academy Is...'s William Beckett and Elvis Costello (whose last name is a TON of fun to say. Cos-tell-ooooooooooooooooooo.)
Track 9: "27"- This quite possibly has one of the best/funniest opening lyrics EVER. "If home is where the heart is, then we're all just f***ed." Awesome. This song is soooo fast passed and hard to keep up with. It's very head bobbable. I don't know what else to say. You just have to hear it. It's one of the least repetative if my tired ears aren't playing trick on me. "My mind is a safe, and if I keep it with me I'll be rich." Exactly.
Track 10: "Tiffany Blews" ft. Lil' Wayne w/ additional background vocals by Alex DeLeon of The Cab- This song is kind of electronic and again kind of head bobabble. And clappable, too!!! The beginning is fun. "Oh baby you're impressive. Like a little black dress, but you'll be faded soon. Stuck on a little hot mess." and "My friends all lie and say they only want the best wishes for me." This song is hard to decipher as far as meaning. If they lyrics were actually in the book, I might have an idea.
Track 11: "w.a.m.s." produced by rapper Pharrell. The beginning feels like I should be doing the robot. Some of its beats resemble ones in "Tiffany Blews" but the rest of it really isn't. and it's very ROCK OUT in some parts. "Hurry, hurry. You put my head in such a flurry, flurry. Freckle, freckle what makes you so special?" Awesome. Kind of a weird end... lots of mumbling. O.O
Track 12: "20 Dollar Nosebleed" ft. BRENDON URIE!!!- No lie. It really FEATURES him. He doesn't just sings the chorus to "Dance, Dance" quietly on "What A Catch, Donnie"!! It's by far my favorite song. This is the collaborationsof all collaborations!!!!! Madonna and Britney Spears? Pfft. Justin Timberlake and Madonna? Pfft. (Madonna really gets around...) Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus? Oh wait, you have to be at least somewhat talented to be considered for a collaboration. It's happy, fun and incredibly out of place for a Fall Out Boy song, but I love it. It is the best song on Earth. their flourishy voices blend perfectly in the chorus and compliment each other during the verses. It is truly amazing. Do I have a favorite lyric? NO. THE WHOLE SONG IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!! It's just perfect. I love it. Love it. love it. Did I mention I love it? The poetry reading on the end is a bit odd though, but it's Pete so I'm cool with it. Listen to this song. NOW. 0.0... My favorite song of all time. I've waited on this for a long time
Track 13: "West Coast Smoker" ft. Debbie Harry of Blondie.- Odd collaboration? yes. I can't say I don't like it though, because I'd be lying if I said I did. This song is very rock out. Very. Favorite lyric: "Oh hell yes, I'm a nervous wreck. The drugs just make me reset. Knock once for the father, twice for the son, three times for the holy ghost." Probably the most repetative.

Ok. That's all she wrote. I enjoyed the CD. Have fun reading. Appreciate this, folks. It took forever. I can't wait for Christmas to get my preorder. :) have a great night!!!!!

Throw your cameras in the air and wave em like you just don't care because I'm jet lagged. please take me back. I'm stray dog sick, please let me in. I will never believe in anything again,
***AshLee***

Ok. Just a few quick things then I'm going to sleep.

So, as I have said before FOB is coming out with their new CD in December.
I also have said that Panic At The Disco's Brendon Urie was singing on the released song "What A Catch, Donnie" (b/c he does. He sings the chorus to "Dance, Dance"), but I have recently. Like within the last five minutes, learned HE IS SINGING ON ANOTHER SONG!!!!!!!!
This makes my year b/c I was soooooo sad Brendon only sang that teensy little bit, but there is more WOOT.
And I could have downloaded the leaked version of the CD to hear it. I know it's gonna be my favorite song b/c it's the two singing voices I love most in this world on one track, so yeah, but I won't for 3 reasons:
1. Downloading the album illegally is stealing from some of my favorite people. (even though I do rip songs from Youtube, but I'm gonna buy those songs eventually. And I did buy "I Don't Care". Anyway).
2. Patience. I need to build up my patience. I suck at patience. seriously.
3. I am already having enough computer trouble, the last thing I need is some stupid leaked album to screw up my computer. I just ran ad-aware and it found 330 threats. yes. 330. 1 was critical. Anyway...
4. It kinda goes with 1, but I'm a loyal like SUPER LOYAL fan who doesn't want to steal from them and I want to wait to be surprised! Yes, ME, SURPRISED. i HATE surprises for all they are worth.

Ok. Now for HALLOWEEN news.
It was fun. I partied. As a PRINCESS. I was a princess. :) I played Singstar, went trick-or-treating, and I played Guitar Hero. Plus I took pictures, hung out with my friends, ate candy and just had buckets and buckets of fun.
That was all really all.
Oh, and if you ever watch MTV and are an FOB fan, they're playing clips of them playing live in between commercials in honor of the election.
Speaking of the election, I learned some very scary facts about Obama this weekend from a source who shall be titled Anna Fontana. :]
Remember, NObama 08.

OMG. 1 year and 4 days ago I saw Fall Out Boy live. Fantastic.
Ok, I'm going to sleep in a few minutes.
Update later. I attempted to Friday at school but filters are stupid so yeah. It wouldn't let me. :)

BYE!! happy belated Halloween.

It's so cold. It's so cold outside.. and in here.

I'm typing this as I freeze. It's just starting to get cold and that could mean only one thing.
This is Halloween!!! Almost!!!!!
The adorable guys of Panic At The Disco have made a new song and video for that song. They directed all by themselves and everything.
I must admit I was worried about them doing it themselves. It was hilarious, but far from their best! Their best was either "Nine In The Afternoon" or "But It's Better If You Do", but that's just my opinion.
Check it out. It'll make you smile.

The video's at the bottom of this post. Watch it!!!!!!
Congrats guys on adding another Halloween song to my limited playlist.
Speaking of my limited Halloween Playlist, here it is:

1. It's almost Halloween by Panic at the Disco


2. This Is Halloween by Panic At The Disco


3. This Is Halloween by Marilyn Manson


4. Jack's Lament (from The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack) by Danny Elfman [or Jack Skellington]


5. This Is Halloween (NBC soundtrack) by the Citizens of Halloweentown


6. Sally's Song (NBC soundtrack) by Fiona Apple


7. Jack's Obsession (NBC soundtrack) by Danny Elfman


8. Oogie Boogie's Song (NBC soundtrack) by various artists

I can't think of any other Halloween songs so if you can please post some that'd be awesome. :) Thanks.

A NEW PANIC SONG?!?!? TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

YES!! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE WILL BE A NEW PANIC SONG!!!

SPECIFICALLY FOR HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it gets better.... THERE WILL BE A VIDEO FOR IT!!!!!

One problem: The guys are directing it themselves.

Yeah...

They're very creative, but they didn't do to well with "That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)", and it was... not their best.

I'm excited/nervous. More info to come later. Click on the link to check out the post..

Oh darn the not living in St. Louis. That's where I'm gonna end and go finish my history homework. :P

***Edit at 11:32 pm***: THOUGHT!! I HAD A THOUGHT!!!

What if, by chance, that this "new song" is the song title "Nearly Witches" by The Paul Revere Jumpsuit Apparatus on FOB's mixtape that released a couple of months? B/c anyone listens to PATD a fairly average amount knows that it's them and not "The Paul Revere Jumpsuit Apparatus". B/c that song DID sound Halloween-y. I mean the title is "Nearly Witches". Witches go with Halloween. Post your thoughts in the comment. Do you agree? Disagree? Skeptic? Let me know.

I want this CD and I want it now.

It really sucks when things change (most of the time. I disagree with Panic when they say, "Things have changed for me and that's ok." sometimes. but it's ok sometimes.).. Fall Out Boy just had to go and change the release date of their new CD Folie A Deux.
But, is this one of those situations when the lyric "Things have changed for me and that's ok. I feel the same. I'm on my way." will apply?
The guys in FOB are doing some crazy stuff with their preorders that were what I assume to be imposssible to do with the release date being November 4th.
The preorders are ridiculous (in the insane sense of the word. and in a good way.). check them out. they're awesome.
I will be getting package "trois" for Christmas. (and yes that's all I'm getting from my father.)
well, I'm gonna go watch Bam's Unholy Union and sleep. Later.
