A punctuation expert comments on Panic At The Disco’s decision to drop the “!” from its name: “Exclamation points are used to convey emotion, to increase the immediacy of what you’re saying. They instill a sense of emergency and urgency. … To change that, especially for a rock band, seems kind of odd to me. There’s certainly a reduced sense of ‘panic’ in Panic at the Disco now.” Clearly she hasn’t talked to any fans who are worried that the band has taken a hard turn and is now speeding toward the sleepy burg that is Sam’s Town.

I just hate that I can never find the Panic DHH album, but when i’m digging in that section, every person that wanders by gives me a weird look. Why? Becuse they assume i’m actually looking for Panic At The Disco… I guess.
I prefer the days when you had to keep tabs on the ever-changing location of the exclamation point in Godspeed You Black Emperor….I’m in favor! of more! artibitrary! exclamation point! placement.
