The Academy Is… frontman/fan fiction sex symbol William Beckett posted an excellent music recommendation to his blog yesterday, one which may or may not change the course of hundreds of sensitive teen girls’ musical lives forever.

Update… Stranded on the runway. Delayed an hour due to high winds in new york. Autumn is here, indeed. Nothing coffee and headphones can’t fix. Go download a song called “True Affection” by a band called “The Blow”. Nice little song. Very good lyrics, quite wordy… Just like some body else we know.

Wise words, William! That’s a cracker jack “little song,” and it’s nice of you to lend a some cool to your fan base. But how did they take the suggestion?

i dont like coffee :(
but headphones fix anything

Same here! Headphones are like duct tape. :D

Lime green ducktape i hope ^-^

Also… IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR WILLIAM!

White Sox or Cubs?

I… would look that up.
But being the lazy girl I am, I won’t. x)
Maybe some other time.
When you just said “high winds in New York” it reminded me of the beginning of the storm in Manhattan in The Day After Tomorrow where Jake Gyllenhal or however you spell his name is all in New York with his buddies and the big tidal wave is about to crash down on their miserable lives. >D
That was on today, btw.
And yesterday. Such a good movie. Dennis Quaid is amazing.
As is Jake. Both amazing.
You should star in a movie.
I wonder if you’d make a good actor ? ;D

Btw, coffee is nasty.
Get some taste buds, Beckett. >w<

Ladies, ladies. Your deep love of music is truly moving. I’m sure William Beckett appreciates your germane response.

To be fair, there were plenty of positive responses about the song, but the general tone skewed much more towards “we’re going to ignore the actual topic of your post and talk about how much we love headphones too!” This fanbase’s proritizing of the concept of connection with their favorite musicians over said musicians’ actual output never ceases to fascinate me.

Here’s the song, just for kicks:
