Soooo a couple nights ago I saw Empires, as I mentioned, and they were OFFENSIVELY precious. Seriously, flist, flist, seriously. I defy you to see them live and stay neutral. They're still one of my least favorite bandom bands musically (I'm sorry, I know, I'm sorry. I don't like Muse either! Or Radiohead) but their precious fucking faces dear GOD. *_____* They're also really competent with their instruments and really sweet and really really earnest.

Me: I WAS PLAYING PATTYCAKE WITH SOMEONE AND SEAN POPPED OVER HIS SHOULDER AND FLAILED HIS HANDS IN THE MIDDLE LIKE A BIG DORK
[livejournal.com profile] loveyouallwrong: oh my goddd
Me: THEY GAVE US SPEECHES ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO SHARE MUSIC WITH FRIENDS! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS "YOUR BAND"!
Me: THEY ARE GIVING THEIR CD PROFITS TO CHARITY. THEY HUNG OUT WITH FANS AFTER THE SHOW FOR THREE HOURS.
Me: LEA.
Lea: STOP IT IMMEDIATELY, I HAVE NO ROOM FOR THEM IN MY WIFING SCHEDULE
Lea: do you know how upset i was when i saw some random picture and identified max?
Lea: WTF WHEN DID I LEARN THEIR NAMES
Me: HAHAHAHAHA
Me: WE WERE ALL HANGING OUT AND SOMEONE JOKED ABOUT NOT KNOWING MAX'S IM NAME AND HE WAS SHOCKED. "IT'S [NAME]!!" WE WERE LIKE, BB, HOW DO YOU KNOW WE WON'T STALK YOU?
Me: HE WAS SO CONFUSED BY THIS CONCEPT
Me: LOLDORABLE
Lea: oh my goddddd shut uppppp. that is adorable : (((((
Me: okay and we were talking to tom about me losing my ID and he was like omg get a fake
Me: and then he told us a story about trying to get into a bar in new york and they turned him down because he's not 5'9", he's like an inch off, maybe?
Me: and he was like 'OMG GET YOUR MANAGER . I AM SO PISSED. GET YOUR MANAGER."
Me: &FAILBOT;
Lea: oh my goddd. thomas wtf, stop being likable : (
Me: he was seriously insanely sweet
Me: HAHAHA P.S. GUESS WHO ELSE IS SWEET
Me: YOU WILL HATE ME
Lea: nooooo who
Me: HEYCHRIS
Lea: hahahahah I ALWAYS KIND OF LIKED HIM!
Me: AHAHAHAHAH I DIDN'T
Me: and then he is this awesome public speaker and really sincere and told us all about his grandfather and little brother dying
Lea: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Me: it was frustratingly charming

WHATEVER, I GUESS I'M AN EMPIRESWIFE NOW. AND A HEYCHRISWIFE. SHUT THE FUCK UP, I HATE EVERYBODY. After the show we hung out forever and went and had dinner at Earwax and came back and had a Don't Stop Believing sing-a-long which Ryan J approved of while Sean Van Vleet hid his face. Ileana and I were talking and we want to actually date SVV, no, REALLY. For serious. IRL. I will fight scene girls for his hand. The thing about Sean is that in pictures he looks kind of ordinary but in real life he spends the whole show looking like he's in the process of having really amazing sex, and then the whole after-show-period looking post-coital. It is. Um. Wow.

Anyway today I watched a mosquito getting doubleteamed by a tiger and a sheep. How are you, internets?

God, everyone acts like that is HERESY but I have TRIED, I have, and my ears say "boooooring". :/ :/ :/

Haha, same here. I put an album on and all I hear is some background noise and some guy wailing in a high, soft voice. No thanks. The only bandmember they have that seems to be worth anything is the bass player.

Me neither! They are like a cure for insomnia for me.

God, ikr? I've only heard two, MAYBE three songs of theirs that were worth anything, and I've tried three or four entire albums of theirs. Repeatedly. I guess they are just some people's cup of tea, but idgi.

I have wondered if I've been listening to the right music, cause I can't concentrate on it, it immediately just becomes background noise.

But so many people (including other musicians) rave on and on and on about them.

puts Nsync on instead

I've tried to concentrate on it, but I coudn't hear anything to concentrate ON. There weren't any guitar riffs, any solos, the only melody was in the gentle whine of the singer, and the songs just...didn't go anywhere? I don't know, the only use I found for it was background for when I'm concentrating on writing something and won't hear music anyway, but can't stand for it to be silent. That's...not in my top five, man.

...lol eew nsync D: lol whatever floats your boat, man. at least nsynch had some good beats.

Yes, I've never claimed to have "good" music taste, BUT AT LEAST SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THEIR SONGS, RADIOHEAD *g*.
 
posted by [identity profile] strobelighted.livejournal.com at 05:25am on 07/06/2008
oh god Hannah, it is my deepest darkest secret. like, I would bone plenty of other guys in bands, but I don't really have any desire to date them. EXCEPT FOR SEAN VAN VLEET. UGHHHH.

anyway, I'm glad you like them now, even if your music taste is questionable.

WE COULD SIT AROUND AND READ BOOKS AND DISCUSS SYMBOLISM AND METAPHORS AND THEN HE WOULD SING ME A SONG AND IT WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL

You should not feel bad about this at all. Because I normally am all "Oh, he's hot. How nice." for bandom boys- but I WOULD TOTALLY DATE RYAN. IT IS VERY UNHEALTHY.

(He likes Journey aaaaaaah)

H, I love you so hard for being one of the few, few people I know who don't wife radiohead. It is LONELY out here!

Also, omg, Empires, seriously, quit being so adorable. I DON'T HAVE TIME EEEEEEEEEITHER.

I don't either! I just don't get it.
But YAH! for Empires-shenanigans!

STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW AWESOME THEY ARE. I'M INTRIGUED AND I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT.

FREE MUSIC, ASHLEY! WEAREEMPIRES.COM GO DOWNLOAD IT.

ALSO COME TO CHICAGO FOR THEIR SHOW ON JULY 11.
 
posted by [identity profile] entropical87.livejournal.com at 05:54am on 07/06/2008
I ALREADY HAVE AND KIND OF LOVE IT. WHICH IS WHY NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT HOW AWESOME THEY ARE. I CANNOT CARE ABOUT MORE BAND BOYS, DAMMIT.

DUDE, DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT. MY WILL POWER IS DEFECTIVE, IT'LL END UP HAPPENING.

I don't like Muse OR Radiohead, but I HEART THE LITTLE FAILBOTS SO. I want to stalk Sean at work. They have pumpkin pie! I LOVE ALL OF THEIR FACES AND THEIR SONGGGGS.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. STOP IT. I HATE MY LIFE. I WANT TO BE IN CHICAGO SO BADLY. I'm only in Kansas City! I'm not THAT far away! They could totally come play here, please?

...It is my dearest hope that I'll get to see Empires play BEFORE they get super-famous and it's impossible to talk to them anymore. Ahahah I don't know. They're really truly the first band I've ever liked that didn't already have a fanbase too gigantic to be able to HANG OUT WITH THEM FOR THREE HOURS WHAT THE HELL.

no matter how I try I can't like Muse, so I have two of their records if anyone on your friendslist wants them, but empires yes.

Go ahead and write fic about a post-coital Sean. It would be good for the world.

I am so very, very sad that I'm on the wrong side of the ocean to go to any of their shows. Faaaaaaail. D:

Hey! I have already told you how you are not broken for not liking Muse or Radiohead. Stop bringing out the haterz :(((

UGH HEYCHRIS. I TOLD YOU. A charming, sweethearted asshole in person, who speaks miles better than he writes.

AND I WILL TOTALLY FIGHT YOU FOR SVV. A;KDJFAKSJDFKJ

Hey, we meet at this show. I was in the black shirt and came in from Denver. If you want I'd love to be friends. This concert was so amazing, I just had a blast.

I've started to find their fail endearing. It's only a matter of time until I become an Empireswife, I suspect.
