oh, hello [kalpurna]

So, I'm following this Panic! website thing with avid interest. Their site has been replaced by a blank page, but if you check the source code, you get this:



There's been a new line added every day; the first time I checked it just said "Oh, hello". They also got rid of all the graphics on their MySpace, and put out a MySpace bulletin with the subject line "Oh, hello" which contained only this image and the words "and so it begins..." linking to their website.

I AM INTRIGUED. Ryan Ross, your wacky viral marketing thingy is working. I've been looking for hidden directories and stuff, but so far, nothing. Hmmmmmm!

ETA: Lolz also, I forgot to say:

"Nine in the Afternoon," which the band road-tested on summer gigs, is about "all of the things you get caught up in while you're in a band ... then coming back and realizing that it's just fun making music with your four best friends," Ross says.

OH RYRO, TOO STONED TO COUNT. ♥ ♥ Or else he is his own best friend. ♥ ♥ ♥

ETA2: EEEEEEEEEE FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS. "You don't have to worry"?

SO AM I, I'M REALLY HOPING FOR A HINT TO A SUBDIRECTORY TO SHOW UP OR SOMETHING omggggggg idek i want CLUES

:>

fuck they're too smart to put anything new in the images directory past what they want us to see, huh

I KNOW RIGHT? I keep refreshing the images directory and the css stylesheet and the source code and omgggggg it is very exciting.

I am so stupidly excited by all of this.

ummmmmmmm inorite? I cannot BELIEVE how ready I am to see what fantastic ridiculousness they unveil next. Nothing they do is not amazing.

And I'm SO confident that this album is going to be fantastic. I think it was great for them to spend so much time on it. I love that they knew that things weren't really working the first time around and instead of continuing to pursue it, they went the other way. They know their band. The know what's best for them.

I can't even...guh. I love all of these bands. My Chemical Romance? I love them so deeply and passionately that it drives people around me absolutely nuts. With Panic! it's different. All of that passionate love is still there but there's like this other level of...I don't know how to describe it. It's just that they're my age. These are guys that I could have gone to school with, you know? It just makes me proud to know that they're so young and they've done so much. I want them to keep succeeding.

I have no problem listening to their first album all day long. I feel like the more I hear it, the more things I find to love about it. I want to hear the entire album with single instruments. Like, an all drum version. An all guitar version. There's nothing on it that seems superfluous to me. Everything worked together to create this fantastic piece of work.

Okay, I'm rambling. But yes...new album...I'm excited.

I KNOWWWWWWW. The album that they wrote in the cabin and then trashed must have been so MAGNIFICENTLY GOD AWFUL, but I'm sincerely excited for this thing now. If there's one thing I'm genuinely impressed with about this band, it's that they've changed more than I could have imagined, while still staying completely awesome. I love the new songs! I love each insane look Ryro trots out! Floral scarves? Cowboy influences? I APPROVE of every single wacky thing they do.

I honestly don't know how this album is going to be received. I have no idea. I know a lot of people will hate it. But I'm so proud of their stupid FACES for doing their own thing no matter what. ♥ ♥

I love your icon. :D

Me too! They change and they're all, "I don't care if you don't like it. WE like it. Boo-yah!" Oh boys.

I think fans who are reluctant to change might not like it. They want them to follow the same path that they did for the last album. But I'm hoping that their fan base will expand anyway. And I know there are lots of older fans (and mature young fans) but I've been hanging out over at the Panic! comm and I'm getting more and more annoyed with the comments I've been reading. They sound like 10 year olds.

1. ryanross is his own bestfriend. this makes me lol.
2. p!atd are being all ~cryptic. this also makes me lol.

i don't know what to think! i'm all lost in the whatwhatwhat of expectancy for the new album!

3. Panic! at the Disco is a real band made of real people who exist in the world.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK EXCEPT THAT THE WORLD IS A WONDERFUL PLACE

Oh my GOD, Panic! How are you so ridiculously cute when you're being so ridiculous? HOW, DAMMIT, HOW?

SCIENCE HAS NO ANSWER

OMG, THE FOURTH BEST FRIEND IS SO TOTALLY ZACH.

THIS IS MY PERSONAL CANON.

ALSO, HELLO, I WILL ABUSE CAPSLOCK SOME MORE NOW.

I AGREE WITH THIS CAPSLOCK

Dammit, my answer was their hash pipe. I lose.

hahahahahaha THIS IS ANOTHER VALID ANSWER. ♥

YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY. That seems logical. I hope it's not YOU DONT HAVE TO PARTY, because I have to Ryan. I have to party on March 25.

DUDE. Who is Ryan's "friend. Best friend"? GABRIEL EDUARDO SAPORTA. And would he ever, ever allow Ryro to tell us we don't have to party? I mean, come on. UNLIKELY.

Which is a good thing, because it's going to be pretty damn necessary!

Panic! Stop trying to kill me! I should be studying for my finals instead of obsessing over this!

Hahahahahaha oh god I KNOW. I'm stupidly obsessed now. An internet treasure hunt? ALL MY DREAMS, RYAN ROSS, ALL MY DREAMS.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

That's the name of the album? Are they telling us not to worry? How am I going to sleep tonight?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I just have no IDEAAAAA but I do know that I am PSYCHED. \o/

OH MY GOD THEIR STUPID FUCKING FACES.

*F5s compulsively*

I just now set my Firefox tab to automatically refresh once a minute. TRUE.

ahahahaha. I'm guessing their website is getting a lot of hits. It's back to the old message already, though!

Ahahaha, what. Why, boys, why. :D

BECAUSE PETE WENTZ

HAHAHA YES I AM GLAD I HAVE YOU TO REMIND ME OF THESE THINGS

Also, ugh, I keep refreshing and nothing is happening. Get on it, boys. >:(

...eek?

THEY'RE DROPPING US CLUES IN THEIR SOURCE CODE. HOW IS THAT NOT AWESOME. \o/ \o/

I'm really fond of "this is just a div," myself. THESE ARE NOT THE DIVS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

um.

hahahahahaha I know, that is possibly my favorite part. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I am so bizarrely endeared!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Oh Ryan Ross, you spend too much time on the internet! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you for this! I am crap with keeping up and discovering things. Please keep me updated? XD

Couldn't BFF #4 be Zack?

Anyway. They are such rediculous dorks I can't deal.

<33333333

Only problem is that I've forgotten how to check source codes.

Right click, and the drop-down menu should offer you a "View Page Source" option. At least that's what it does on Windows and Firefox.

Thank you!

HELLO THIS IS SEKRITLY JORI BUT ACTUALLY CHRISTINA WHO IS SUPER-COOL AND YALL SHOULD BE BFF NOW KTHX ♥
