While a lot of people have mocked William Beckett for acting like Adam Lazarra (from TBS), there are definitely two different bands. For one, William can sing live.

Nothing like instant nostalgia, tongue firmly in cheek or otherwise.

Both their LPs have been inconsistent but both contain some really ace songs, and their latest guitarist graduated from the Butch Walker school which is obviously a massive checkmark in the plus column.

They were okay, but the little scarf Beckett always ties around his knee always bugged the shit out of me.

Also you know Maura's attitude about them. Haha. And thanks for arguing the case that I am, in fact, a human and not a hologram or robot.

@ihatethekids: Open your mind!

i really do object to fall out boy being called our favorite band, though.

Now the only thing I'm feeling is a twinge of regret for missing a good show.
