Wyatt Flores Drops New EP 'Half Life' — A Milestone in Country Music's New Era

Country music's rising star Wyatt Flores has released his new EP, "Half Life," today through Island Records. You can stream or purchase it here. Check out “Running Out Of Time” above. Wyatt Flores has been garnering critical acclaim recently. He was the subject of an in-depth profile by journalist Josh Crutchmer in The New York Times, which highlighted Flores' unique ability to evoke deep emotional responses with his music. The article titled, “Wyatt Flores…Has a Superpower: Tapping Emotions,” notes that the 22-year-old singer-songwriter’s music profoundly impacts its listeners. The EP "Half Life" consists of eight tracks, including the previously released "Milwaukee" and "Wish I Could Stay." The latter song was featured by Rolling Stone in their "Songs You Need To Know" list, and Billboard has praised Flores' blend of slide guitars and piano paired with his natural, conversational singing style that seamlessly transitions from rock-infused urgency to classic country twang. This release marks a monumental year for Flores, identified by Rolling Stone as one of their 25 "Future of Music" artists. His achievements this year have significantly boosted his career trajectory. Moreover, Flores has been named Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, featured in Spotify’s Hot Country Class of 2024 and CMT’s Listen Up roster, and made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry. To celebrate his new music, Flores is set to lead his "Here There & Gone" tour this summer. He will perform at notable venues including The Intersection in Grand Rapids, The Windjammer on Isle of Palms, Denver's Ogden Theatre, The Knitting Factory in Boise, Ace of Spades in Sacramento for two nights, and the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. Additionally, Flores will appear at several major festivals this year such as Stagecoach, Hangout, CMA Fest, Windy City Smokeout, and others. See below for the complete list of tour dates.

David Charles Friberg, son of Charles and Rosemary Adolphoson Friberg, was born in Rockford, Illinois, on October 2, 1943. He entered into the Joy of the Lord on February 10, 2023. David exhibited early his affinity for music, especially the "loud" possibilities of the organ. It was with encouragement from his aunt and music teacher, Pauline Roland, that he began piano lessons at age seven followed quickly by organ instruction. At 12 he was playing the organ for a chapel founded by the local Baptist church of which the family were dedicated members.

He lovingly recalls hearing--for the first time--Handel's Messiah professionally done and was awakened to beauty of this genre of music. As a 12-year old, he requested as a Christmas gift a copy of the score of the Messiah-he received two!

He attended public schools in Rockford and not surprisingly accompanied numerous choral groups in high school while also joining in participation with various singing organizations. Following graduation in 1961, he began an extended tenure at Bob Jones University, Greenville, SC. He entered college planning to study organ as well as for the ministry; but finding the schedule too demanding, the organ became his focus. After receiving his B.A. and M.A. in organ performance he remained on the faculty for 17 years eventually becoming the head of the Organ Department. It was during this period he was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam era. He was removed from his unit to fill the position as organist (for two years} at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. as others he had trained with left for the warzone.

Following his teaching at Bob Jones he moved to Bryan College in Dayton, Tn., where he served for nine years as Chairman of the Division of Fine Arts. It was during this period that he spent seven summers at the University of Kansas working toward his MM degree and doctorate. After a nine-year tenure at Bryan he joined the faculty of Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, where he chaired the music department retiring after 16 years. He also has served on the faculty of Chattanooga State.

He holds membership in The American Guild of Organist, the Chattanooga Music Club, and the MacDowell Music Club. In addition to his teaching positions he has served as organist (and sometimes choir director) with the following local churches: Central Baptist Church, Northside Presbyterian Church, Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church, and Second Presbyterian Church. He was the original accompanist for Chattanooga Choral Arts serving in this capacity for 33 years. He has also participated as accompanist for the UTC Master Chorale.

He considered it a privilege to be an artist-fellow in organ and harpsichord at the Bach Aria Summer Institute in Stony brook, NY, but his most memorable experience was a Bach Organ Tour of Eastern Germany where he had the opportunity to play some of the same organs played by Bach. He also had the opportunity to play an original Tannenberg Organ at the Visitor's Center, Old Salem, NC. Concluding this sketch of Mr. Friberg's impact would be incomplete without noting and honoring the many "life's moments" shared by the people of Chattanooga and surrounding areas with him - service music, wedding music, memorial music, individual instruction, recitals, and organ dedications .... ad infinitum! He was predeceased by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Friberg, his sons, Christopher Friberg, Kevin Friberg, and younger sister, Sally Pofelski. He is survived by a host of students to whom he imparted a love of music; faculty members of four institutions who aided these efforts; his church family -- Second Presbyterian of Chattanooga; special friends, Dr. Ken Anderson, Dr. and Mrs. Jack Traylor, page-turner and companion, Norma C. Witherspoon. There will be a memorial service to celebrate David’s life at Second Presbyterian Church at a later date. Arrangements are under the care of the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson.

Bitter SC 

Erich Bitter was born in 1933, in Schwelm, near Düsseldorf. At the age of 16, young Erich drops out of school and goes to work at his parents' bike shop. But he likes riding a bike more than serving customers. And at the age of 20 he made the leap to professional cycling. He rode the Tour de France several times and soon established himself as one of the best cyclists in Germany. At the age of 25, his fame allows him to make the leap to motorsports. Since he has good relations with NSU, which also made bicycles, he easily gets a car. The beginnings were hard, because as he himself said, everyone overtook him. But he learns fast and starts to be successful in European and German championships. Throughout his career, from 1958 to 1969, he drove Porsche, Ferrari and Mercedes and was an official driver for Abarth. 

In 1962 he founded his first company, Rally-Bitter. The small company is dedicated to the sale and creation of products for the competition, from flame retardant suits to the preparation of cars. His fame continues to grow with his successes and in 1968 Opel proposes that he fine-tune the 150 hp Opel Rekord and participate in some competitions with that car. It is then that friendships with important positions of Opel are formed. In 1969, when he left racing, Erich Bitter had a Volvo, SAAB and NSU dealership since 1962 and had been an importer for Germany of Abarth and Intermeccanica since 1964. The problem is that the Intermeccanicas were so poorly built that they left his finances trembling having to Continually fix the cars of disgruntled customers. Still, he believed that there was a clientele for beautiful, elegant, fast and at the same time reliable cars. In 1973, Bitter presented the CD at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It is equipped with a 5.3-liter Chevrolet V8 with 230 hp and 427 Nm at 3,000 rpm. The Bitter could reach 210 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. In 1973, they were honorable numbers, although not extraordinary either. The success is immediate and at the end of the event he already has 176 orders. A few days later is the first oil crisis and many cancel their orders. Regardless, by the end of 1975 Bitter had sold 100 cars and by 1976 production had reached 254 units of the CD since 1973.

The company’s second car, the Bitter SC was a bit more successful, selling roughly 488 units. It was based on another Opel product, the decidedly stodgy Senator model, and was powered by a fuel-injected 3.0, or 3.9-liter Opel straight six making 177 and 207 hp respectively. In place of the stock bodywork, edgy two-door coupé bodywork was fit that bore a striking resemblance to the Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2. The exterior of the SC is a treat in true ’80s form, and is both familiar, and unlike anything you’ve seen. The Ferrari influences are plain to see in the car’s silhouette and side-window configuration, but other factors are amazingly unique. The front and rear bumpers have been incorporated into the side moldings in a way that only the 1980s could facilitate. The alloy Ronal wheels echo the Ferrari’s from a distance, but are dissimilar up close and look muscular with the differing offset from front to rear.The interior of the Bitter is possibly more well appointed than your home, provided it has not been updated since the start of the Reagan Era. Nonetheless, ’80s aficionados will relish in its pleated leather, faux wood and chocolate leather tones.

Larry on Tour (LOT 2017-2018)

Todas las “coincidencias” que ocurrieron en el LOT, espero no me falte nada.

El LOT duró del 17 de Septiembre de 2017 al 14 de Julio de 2018, sólo pondré los shows en los que se conecte con Louis.

Comenzamos en el IHeart Festival 2017:

Ambos, Harry y Louis estaban en la lista de cantantes. Harry se presentaría el 22 de Septiembre y Louis el 23.

El 22, un fan publicó una foto con Louis en el aeropuerto de Las Vegas (un día antes de su presentación)

Y tiempo después, subió una foto con Harry, en el que parece el mismo lugar. Además está usando la misma ropa.

La teoría del VIP box comienza cuando Harry lanza un beso hacia el lado del público donde se encontraba esta.

Pero cortaron esa escena.

MIN 4:10

Ámsterdam - Marzo 14

Sarah Jones publica una foto en su instagram donde se puede alcanzar a ver a alguien con el perfil parecido a Louis.

La foto sigue en su Ig. Click aquí.

Durante el concierto, Harry repitió constantemente que habían muchas personas "Que no podíamos ver".

En ese mismo show, hubieron algunos receipts/testigos de que lograron ver a Louis ahí. Sin embargo, sin fotografías.

Otra de las cosas que pasaron durante en concierto de Ámsterdam, fue este momento durante IICF 🥺

Min-3:27

18 de Marzo- Capital radio's awards.

1D ganó una categoría y Liam fue representando a la banda.

Durante la entrevista le preguntaron por Louis, y él contestó:

"Acaba de volar de Londres a no sé dónde!!!"

"Ha estado viajando alrededor de todo el Mundo"

VIDEO AQUÍ.

11 de Abril - Show en Londres

Supuestamente se le vió a alguien en el VIP Box. (recuerden que si no hay foto, no es verídico).

1 de Mayo - Show en Manila

Aparentemente, esta persona estaba esperando en el show de Niall en Manila, cuando dos chicas comenzaron a charlar con uno de los guardias. En un momento, comenzaron a hablar de Harry, y el guardia les dijo que Harry era gay, que salió hace mucho tiempo. Las chicas no lo creyeron, y el les respondió que él estuvo en su show, y que su novio fue a verlo.

Harry durante Sweet Creature en Manila:

25 de Mayo - Chile

Una silueta , parecida a la de Louis con el corte de Peaky blinders, se veía en el VIP box:

LINK AL TWEET.

27 de Mayo - Río, Brazil

Salió un nuevo receipt, bastante sospechoso, junto con fotos del VIP Box:

Harry durante Sweet creature:

15 de Junio - Filadelfia 

Se le vio un día antes a Louis, en el aeropuerto, junto con su amigo Calvin. Ambos asistieron al Firefly festival. Calvin subió una foto a u historia, donde se podía ver el lugar en el que Harry iba a estar.

Estaba algo debatida esta prueba, ya que había gente que había vistp a Louis en el festival, y otras personas diciendo que se fue un poco antes de que salieran Artic Monkeys

Si eso te hacía dudar, bueno... Una semana después salió una foto de un fan, el cual dijo que conoció a Louis después del cocierto de Harry...

22 de Junio - Madison Square Garden, noche 2

Noche milagrosa. Tenemos receipt, fotos del VIP box y a un Harry muy emocional....

Según la persona, el VIP box estaba vacío, mientras que todos los demás estaban llenos. Durante SC e IICF, se pudo observar una silueta, además de que Harry cantaba muy emocional. Después, la silueta volvió a desaparecer.

sweet creature                  

En este mismo concierto, ocurrió lo del famoso “They’re still together”

6 de Julio - Vancouver 

De nuevo, se le ve a alguien en el VIP Box

ABOUT THE OVERALL TOUR

This wasn’t the first tour for the Pretty. Odd. era, but the announcement material was some of the earliest stuff we saw from the new era that was slowly beginning in January. Panic at the Disco was announced as the headlining band for the 2008 Honda Civic Tour on January 10th. They also filmed some promotional material for Honda the day before that event. This clip explains the most and then here’s an ad. 

This tour was a giant corporate promo in many ways, but it also had a tour mission or “action plan” of “effecting positive environmental change.” Jon told the Times Union that the tour itself wasn’t being advertised as eco-friendly, but the band hoped that it would raise awareness of environmental issues. Here’s an interview that sums up the band’s most common comments about that angle (that interview happened while the tour was in NYC). So the band had started doing small things like using soy ink & recycled paper on the tour programs, traveling in a biodiesel tour bus, using biodegradable food service supplies, replacing old bulbs at shows with compact fluorescents, and recycling backstage (Also, as long as I’m on the topic of going green – here’s Ryan & Jon for Connect2Earth).

Panic at the Disco picked Reverb and Global Inheritance as their two nonprofit tour partners who would engage with fans in booths & exhibits before the shows. The band talked a lot about this… I’ll just summarize things with this bit from the tour announcement press kit:

Honda also helped make tickets more affordable, so they only cost $30-$40 (which made them cheaper than some merch that was for sale at the shows). $1 of every ticket sold went to a fund for the two nonprofit partners. Honda Canada said they contributed $10,000 to the tour’s eco-fund to celebrate how 2008 was the first year that the tour went to Canada. Here’s Brendon talking a bit more about the contest that decided how that fund was spent. Like Brendon said in that video, SPIN Magazine was part of the online challenge where fans suggested how the eco-fund should be used. Laura Gonzalez won that essay contest. 

Spencer said in a LiveDaily interview:

“We’d never really worked with a sponsor for a tour before. Or any big sponsor. But Honda approached us for it. They wanted us to do it. They pitched us on it. A big thing for them this year was using a hybrid Civic. They’re really promoting the green aspect of … the company. I guess we were really into that just because we’re a young band and we’re on our second record. We’re concentrating on trying to write the best songs as we can. We want to help support and feel strongly about [the green movement], and we want kids to know about it. We didn’t know the best way to go about showing that. I actually just watched “The Simpsons Movie” for the first time. The first scene in the movie is with Green Day and they say something about how they played for three-and-a-half hours and now they want to say something about the environment and everyone starts booing. [Honda] already had their foot in the door, promoting that type of philosophy.”

PLAYING SMALLER SHOWS

Jon made it clear in a few interviews this year that the Nothing Rhymes With Circus tour had not been his scene. He mentioned that playing shows in an arena wasn’t satisfying for him, and he was more interested in playing a simple stripped-down show where the music could speak for itself without “distractions” because he wanted things to be more “honest.” I talked more in previous posts about how Jon played a huge part in redirecting the band in summer 2007 when they were a bit uncertain about what to do next. A lot of his personal philosophies & interests became core ideas for the Pretty. Odd. era that the band talked about in spring 2008.

Brendon explained the band’s current stance in a PopMatters interview:

“During this production, we wanted to be more honest. It’s more about music, but we still bring out stuff that we like to have fun with on-stage, like bubble machines, video and stage props and designs. We play the songs, not the tracks. We don’t have a lot of the horns and strings on any of them, so we’re pretty much duplicating it on pianos and guitars. It is us playing each musical part that you hear. It’s all about us playing more music live and trying to improve on that… Playing in arenas, that’s very non-personal with the crowd. It’s more just people coming to see that show. We’re playing a lot more smaller places than arenas so it’s definitely a lot more intimate which is great, we’re getting a lot more intimate with the fans, you can get a lot more personal interaction with the crowd, it’s great.”

ABOUT THE STAGE DESIGN

Earlier this spring Brendon had dropped words like “weather,” “flowers,” and “organic” to describe the theme they’d be going for in their North American tour. He told DigitalSpy that “With Fever, we just tried to do something as crazy as the album sounded, and I think that's going to be the goal this time around. We just want to keep up with the music!” 

Parts of the stage and microphones were covered with fake flowers – Ryan said they were trying to make it feel like the show was happening outside. There were even pot leaves woven into their mic stand floral arrangements for part of the tour haha. Robb Jibson designed most of the set and did the lights each night. You can see him talking to Zack here.

Spencer said in a LiveDaily interview:

“We just love doing that--putting on a show, planning a show. I think of it more as a performance than just a rock 'n' roll concert. Trying to find the balance in between the two is kind of cool. One thing, though, that I guess will be different than the last tour is, the last tour, we were able to have such an elaborate stage show because of the size of the venues we were playing. Not the giant 25,000 seaters, but 8,000 to 10,000 people a night. But, at the same time, you're in an ice hockey arena or you're in the Utah Jazz basketball court, and it's not the greatest place to see a concert if you love the band. For this tour, we wanted to go back to larger theaters. It's a lot cooler place to put on a show, but I guess you have some limitations with size and space.”

Spencer also talked to Alt Press about going back to playing smaller venues: “That kind of limits you, though, with the production and what you can do… it was gonna be the first time we were playing these songs in front of people, we just decided it would be better to just make that the focus and attention rather than having three or four people coming on stage and doing crazy things.”

Spencer told Drum! Magazine:

“There are a million endless concepts of what we could do live, and we’re having fun figuring out what would go well with these songs. We wanted to do something with video but I get annoyed when I go to shows and there’s a giant video screen behind the band, just showing live footage from a couple camera guys standing in front of the stage filming what the guys are playing. It seems kind of weird. So we’ve talked about maybe doing more artistic kinds of music videos to play on stage. Something a little more out there.”

Here’s Shane’s footage of the band recording the green screen content to use in the video backdrop for the shows.

THE OTHER BANDS ON THE TOUR

Here’s some of the behind-the-scenes footage that I loved. The 2008 Honda Civic Tour lineup included Panic at the Disco, Motion City Soundtrack, The Hush Sound, and Phantom Planet. So there were four official bands, but Eric Ronick’s band Black Gold also made an appearance.

The Hush Sound had opened for P!ATD during the summer 2006 tour, Motion City Soundtrack had been on the 2005 Nintendo Fusion Tour with P!ATD, and Black Gold had opened for P!ATD on some nights during the Nothing Rhymes With Circus tour & throughout the spring 2008 tour in Europe. So Phantom Planet was the only band that PATD hadn’t toured with before. The Panic guys had been obsessed with the O.C. in 2006, so I hoped that they were still excited on some level about hearing Phantom Planet play “California” ha.

Spencer told Out.com:

“There was a really good vibe among all the bands… We hadn’t toured with Phantom Planet, but we instantly got along with those guys. It was a really musical environment where every band was working on songs, even though everybody had just put out records. That kind of camaraderie we’d never been a part of, and it was something we really missed when the tour was over.”

Spencer also told Artistdirect that “Phantom Planet and The Hush Sound are some of our best friends so throughout the day being around your friends and working on music, there’s really nothing to complain about.”

Fans talked about seeing Brendon on the side of the stage many nights or in the balcony watching the opening bands and dancing on his own. Sometimes Brendon came out to sing the same song with The Hush Sound that he did in summer 2006 (Don’t Wake Me Up). He also sang with Black Gold like he did during the European tour.

Ryan sometimes joined Phantom Planet onstage during Do The Panic. He grew close with Alex Greenwald during this tour. Towards the end of the year Ryan told MTV that he didn’t know much about Phantom Planet before this tour and that he “got [their] album a few weeks before the tour started and was blown away.”

Phantom Planet / Alex did some acoustic songs outside after shows that sounded pretty fun. A lot of the videos are in nice convenient playlists on their youtube now: Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, Boston, Columbus (there are more videos from other shows too). Ryan was in quite a few videos... some examples: one, two, three, four.

ABOUT THE ACTUAL SHOWS

The May 24th show was filmed for the Live in Chicago dvd. Just like with Live in Denver from the 2006 summer tour, the dvd is not an accurate representation of what the whole tour was like (I thought fan videos were way more fun tbh). There were almost 50 shows in the Honda Civic tour... May 24th in Chicago was only one single night. The band was more uptight than normal, some fun moments that fans captured were cut out of the dvd, the lighting was weirdly darker on the dvd than it was irl, and it just felt strange to not hear the crowd much. That dvd didn’t come out until December when the Pretty. Odd. era ended, so it also didn’t fit into the concept of the Honda Civic Tour that I’d already formed from 5,000+ fan videos. The dvd is nice!! I’m just saying that there’s a lot more to this tour than what’s shown there.

The average set list for this tour had a lot of similarities to the spring European tour, but it was still different in many ways. The band cut Build God and The Weight from this tour’s regular set list (they still played The Weight a couple times, though) and added several new songs like Northern Downpour, Behind the Sea, Pas de Cheval, and Folkin’ Around (but at first they played I Have Friends In Holy Spaces instead). 

This was their first headlining tour where they didn’t have any song covers in their regular set list.

Fans had complained a lot about a lack of an encore in 2006, so the band now left the stage after Northern Downpour. Then Brendon would come back out to do his solo acoustic version of Time to Dance and then the band would do introductions and play the last 2-3 songs as an encore.

The shows changed a lot each night as the tour progressed. The video on the screen behind the band was pretty basic for most songs at the early shows, but eventually it became more elaborate. Brendon talked a lot at the first few shows but that noticeably decreased as the tour progressed. The band introduced There’s A Good Reason as a jazz song during the first half of the tour, and then they started doing the “jazz hands” bit for the second half of tour. Brendon & Ryan also didn’t do much mic-sharing or switching until mid-May. They initially ended Mad as Rabbits without adding the whole extra "na na na naaaaa” bit on the end too (that’s what their set list sometimes called it ok lol).

Almost all of the mic sharing pics are from when Ryan would walk over to Brendon’s mic. Ryan was noticeably more interested in the center mic this spring. Sometimes it looked like he forced Brendon to back up (by shoving his head between Brendon’s mouth & mic lol), but other times it looked like Brendon moved aside and just let Ryan have the mic. Brendon would let Ryan sing there for a bit, would try to join Ryan, or would retreat to use Ryan’s abandoned mic instead. Then that mic switching became their normal choreographed routine for the end of the show each night. A lot of the moments when Ryan approached Brendon’s mic in the last half of the tour were the same every night, but some were still spontaneous.

They used the bubble machine during Behind the Sea & the ending at a lot of shows, but not all (Spencer told the Cleveland crowd on May 16th that they had just gotten the bubble machines that day). 

Brendon & Ryan didn’t come out to perform with the opening bands at every single show.

“Ryan Ross got a tambourine.” haha that sums that up.

Spencer got a microphone on this tour! He could talk to the crowd before some songs now (especially Behind the Sea) and he also sang at the end of Northern Downpour at many shows.

Ryan stuck some city/state names into Mad as Rabbits (ex: “now he drags down miles in _______”) and Brendon stuck some city names into That Green Gentleman (ex: “I never said I’d leave ______”). 

Ryan was still doing his thing where he’d pick a couple girls to stare at super intensely at most shows (I hate saying “eye sex” but that’s what the girls were screaming about so I might as well say it).

You could text stuff and watch it scroll across the screen up front before the bands played. There were also some commercials, the video of Brendon talking about the eco fund, and music videos shown on the screens. Rolling Stone wrote that “There were some jarring product placements at the opening night of Panic at the Disco’s North American outing — even for something called the Honda Civic Tour. Motion City Soundtrack, the Hush Sound and Phantom Planet opened, and between sets automobile commercials alternated with videos from acts on the record label that distributes PATD’s music.” Again, this was an extremely corporate production.

there were so many stories of fans legit moshing to songs from Pretty. Odd. haha. Ryan even told Rolling Stone that kids were moshing to Northern Downpour in Tulsa. That song meant a LOT to him, so he complained that "I don't think they were even listening.” It sounded like the crowds were waaaaay less intense than the Fever era, though. There were still normal injuries, but nothing that sounded even close to 2006. (This perceived difference could also be because the ages & types of fans attending the 2006 summer tour vs the spring 2008 tours were different).

Rolling Stone said that “Drummer Spencer Smith proved himself the most confident musician... Singer Brendon Urie furrowed and arched his brow to signify emotions he couldn’t fully articulate with hands occupied with guitars, while guitarist Ryan Ross looked uncomfortable, and affable bassist Jon Walker acted as spokesman.”

MASTERPIECES: the bracelet song and the pancake song.

People threw a black tophat onstage at more than one show in this tour.

Jon often took his shoes off onstage. I heard that sometimes Ryan did too.

a review of one show said “For much of the set guitarist Ryan Ross could have passed for a mannequin, and lead singer Brendon Urie didn’t even seem to break a sweat until the last three songs.”

Las Vegas Weekly said that the songs got a warm response from the crowd, but wrote that “Warm isn’t the same as ecstatic, however, and crowd participation seemed lacking compared to the over-the-big-top affairs of before. Though technically sold out, about a fourth of the mezzanine seats remained empty, and there was a noticeable lack of anything resembling crowd surfing. Not even bubble machines and Urie’s mention of this being his first time playing Vegas since he’d turned 21 could arouse all-too-familiar shrieks of total sensory ecstasy. A lower-key affair from a more mature band? Are we sure these guys are still from Vegas?”

PATD claimed that Bamboozle was their first time headlining a festival (even though they’d made that same claim for Summerfest 2007). They closed the whole festival and played the main stage after Gym Class Heroes. Black Gold also got to play on a smaller stage earlier that day. Here’s a tag for some of those pictures (others will be in the regular tour tag).

STUFF THAT’S ABOUT THE BAND MEMBERS

At the start of this tour Jon was 22, Ryan was 21, and Spencer & Brendon were 20.

Ryan had some Star Wars action figures for good luck.

Spencer told some crowds that he was from Denver and Brendon was from Utah.

Ryan & Jon led the shows and talked more than Brendon (and obvs more than Spencer). I couldn’t get over how completely different Ryan was this year... like I was shocked at how much he’d changed by August 2007, but now he was even more talkative & outgoing. Fans said he was smiling and even cracked jokes at meet & greets!

Brendon’s voice had grown a lot deeper... it honestly weirded me out at times. He was having a harder time hitting the high note in Camisado this spring while his voice changed, but he had better control by the end of the year. 

Hints of Ryan’s faux accent appeared during this tour, but it didn’t really peak until summer.

Jon had spread the flip flops to the rest of the band… even Brendon wore them now.

here’s some of the Q&A footage from this tour

The guys played a lot of hacky sack on this tour haha. Alex Greenwald even said that, which I thought was hilarious.

There was an international CosmoGirl interview with Brendon & Spencer where Brendon said he hadn’t found the right girl yet. And then the interviewer asked if he ever got seduced by fans and Brendon said it wasn’t really something that happened weekly. And apparently Spencer was laughing at that point in the interview.

Jon sometimes gave a shoutout to Eric’s band Black Gold during the spring tour in Europe, and he continued doing that randomly during this tour too. Jon was the only guy in PATD who knew what it was like to tour in a small band that wasn't an instant success, so he was good about trying to help his friends & family over the years whenever it wasn’t weird to add a shoutout (in interviews too).

If their show the next day was somewhere nearby then sometimes the band stayed in the same city that night to party.

One fan asked the guys about their favorite dinosaur at a meet & greet. Ryan blanked, Brendon said euoplocephalus, and Jon & Spencer got into a serious debate over whether a pterodactyl was technically a dinosaur lol. I just really liked that story.

fans were throwing a lot of bracelets onstage this spring, so that’s why the guys often had matching bracelets that said silly things.

Jon said that they mainly played Mario Kart & Halo on the bus and worked on demos for new songs. 

The band really did bury themselves in older music. When interviews asked what their favorite albums had been last year (2007) they struggled to come up with recent music and admitted they were kind of out of the loop.

Brendon was sick at the end of April.

Ryan had his pretty guitar for this tour!!! (the Stratocaster that I’m pretty sure he said was surf green... but it definitely liked to change color depending on the lighting ha. Some fans called it his “blue” guitar. I even remember people questioning whether Ryan had several different colors of the same guitar).

Ryan’s stage banter during the Honda Civic Tour would sometimes reference smaller venues the band had played in each town, as though he wanted it to sound like PATD had been a relatively unknown band at one point that had played small shows for just a few fans. Ryan was really working hard this year to distance the band from the whole scene that they’d been thrown into during the Fever era, so I understood that these comments were just part of his process of shifting the band’s image to be more in line with what he wanted. But it was still kind of funny to hear him talk about their time doing half of the Take Cover Tour in this new light because obviously some of us still remembered what fall 2005 had been like… the season where the band played to a small crowd that only had a handful of fans who were specifically there for P!ATD lasted for a couple weeks lol (and several of the shows within that window wouldn’t even qualify). And even when the band played their sold-out headlining shows at the small venues in December 2005, they still had an international fanbase and were getting ready to be on national tv & the covers of big magazines. Panic! at the Disco was never a small indie group or a band who had to truly pay their dues. They’d been linked to Fall Out Boy and had international attention before they even wrote most of their songs.

Ryan seemed to be really into what the guys in Phantom Planet were doing. He was clearly drawn to Alex Greenwald and the whole scene that Alex was part of... and Ryan looked pretty content when he was with Phantom Planet outside after shows too.

Jon also seemed to want to make PATD feel like a small, relatable band who could casually hang out with their fans after shows. He kept inviting large crowds around the country back to his house for hotdogs or to swim. I remember some fans definitely thought he was serious and were disappointed afterwards ha.

Shane filmed some Honda Civic Tour updates, and those were still showing up even after the tour ended. I tried to edit them together here to go in the order of the tour (so they’re not in the order that the actual updates were listed on the site):

Shane also filmed the footage in his documentary that was part of the Live in Chicago cd/dvd:

MISC STUFF FROM THIS TOUR

here are some appearances during this tour! That’s definitely not everything – it’s just some highlights. 

The band did a lot of interviews this season.

This tour was basically a way for Honda to try to sell their cars to teens. The tour booklet and booths at the shows had a lot of information on how to finance a car, and Honda Financial Services was giving away a guitar autographed by PATD if you checked out the info on Honda’s special APR financing.

Here’s more about the custom Honda Civic that fans could enter to win. The matching tour bus was obviously not the one that the band actually used. It was more like a decoy & mobile advertisement that was parked in front of venues. The band members used a nondescript gray bus that parked with the rest of the tour buses.

the autographed custom Honda Civic was given away at the end of April but that confused me because it was on display at shows in May too. I heard that Christy Martinez of Robertsdale, AL won it.

There was originally supposed to be another Atlanta show on April 27th, but the venue (the Tabernacle) was damaged by a tornado or something like that. Both of the Atlanta shows got combined into one night at the Masquerade Music Park then.

The band went to the beach in Orlando and Shane filmed some stuff. 

Ryan said at the Orono show that they spent some time in Bar Harbor.

Shane was filming everything. everywhere. he would interview fans in line, he was at the meet & greets, he was somehow in the back of the room and up by the stage at shows... it sounded like the guy could apparate. A couple girls also mentioned that Shane would set up some cameras but it looked like he had an assistant to operate them during the shows. The band talked about how some concerts were filmed for them to watch themselves and see what they could improve on. Later that year Jon also explained that “We usually videotape the shows while we’re on tour and watch them two to three times a week just like a football team, checking out what we did wrong and what we can do better.”

At a couple shows Shane was spotted just sitting in front of the stage taking pictures of Brendon on his phone lol. A decent amount of people were serious fans of Shane, but I mainly just appreciated that he obviously made Brendon happy. 

The Honda Civic Tour was one of my favorite parts of 2008 because the guys had many friends on the tour and seemed to be having a genuinely great time. There were still occasional hints of the underlying ongoing tension, but overall this season was a ton of fun to see & hear about. 

There were contests throughout most of this year to win leftover Honda Civic Tour crew t-shirts. I got my shirts, jacket, bag, and other gear from someone who had been at the announcement event on January 10th, but it was the same stuff that was used for prizes later… so there must have been a lot of it.

Some magazines reported that the band was at Pete Wentz’s wedding, but they definitely played a show that night (where Ryan dedicated Northern Downpour to Pete).

The band got trophies at the Fillmore in Denver for selling out their show. Ryan dedicated his trophy to the crowd.

Zack still wasn’t allowed into Canada, so he missed the Vancouver show.

The Honda Civic Tour site had a “moodreader” that would assess your mood and give you a Panic at the Disco song to match it. 

Pictures of the “reinvent love” vest showed up in May. That had been made out of one of the t-shirts that was for sale during this tour. (speaking of merch – hoodies were $50 and most t-shirts were around $25).

it sounded like Zack was running a lot of things at this point... like he’d be pouring drinks for the guys, reprimanding a crew member for not spotting a sharp object onstage that Jon might’ve stepped on with bare feet, wrangling the band, coordinating stuff with Shane & Dan, dealing with fans, and generally monitoring a lot. I heard he was even able to tell at a glance what height each microphone should be at for each guy.

Spencer’s mom and some of Ryan’s relatives were at one of the east coast shows (I think North Carolina). Jon gave his mom a shoutout at a show she was at too.

The final night of this tour had a “Panic in the OC” party. For about $1,300 – $1,400 you could get 1 concert ticket, 2 nights in the hotel, an autographed picture of the band, a meet & greet at the exclusive party, concert transfers, and a VIP laminate & swag bag for the OC party. You had to be 18+ to go, though. And that price didn’t include airfare.

There were a lot of giveaways & sweepstakes from places like radio stations where fans could win tickets to shows or a chance to meet the band. A lot of the hype this season was riding on the back of what the band had been during the Fever era.

A lot of the fans who watched Zack pour the drinks mentioned that Ryan drank white wine onstage, Jon & Brendon had beer, and Spencer sometimes got stuck with lemon-lime Gatorade since he wasn’t 21 yet.

Cassie, Keltie, Regan (Shane’s gf), Zack’s wife, and Haley were all at the Anaheim show on the final night.

STUFF THAT’S ABOUT THE FANS

“There are some crazy people out there who are kinda willing to do whatever to meet you. It’s kinda a strange thing for us to even think of. We don’t really enjoy it that much.” – Jon to College Candy during this tour

This tour sounded way more chill than the last half of the Fever era. There were still some stories about fans pounding on the side of the bus or chasing a band member to the bus, but it was nothing like 2006. The band definitely came out to sign stuff by their bus more often too.

Brendon had been the one who came out to greet fans the most in summer 2006 and the one who reportedly looked the guiltiest when the band members were instructed to put in ear plugs and walk quickly past crowds of fans in late 2006 without stopping. Brendon really wanted to connect with the fans in 2008 too but Zack was still in kind of a nanny role and would block him. There were several stories from different cities about how Brendon would basically sneak away from Zack to meet fans waiting outside and then Zack would get stern when he found Brendon and literally haul him away lol. I know sometimes Brendon used Zack as a bad cop figure so that Brendon didn’t need to disappoint fans, but there were definitely moments that sounded like Brendon wanted to stay & greet fans but wasn’t allowed

There were also stories about how Brendon would be allowed to come out to greet a small group of fans who had waited for a long time, but then Zack would drag him back onto the bus at a certain point. A few times it sounded like Brendon successfully snuck off the bus and back on without Zack ever showing up, though.

Multiple fans from one show said that a girl was being creepy and making Zack mad, so the guys were sent to the bus and that was it. They weren’t going to come out and greet anyone else. Quite a few fans from that night went online and bashed the band, saying stuff about how once again the guys were too good for their fans and would rather hide than take 10 seconds to acknowledge the people who have dedicated years to them. So this was yet another example of how the stories of the band being “rude” often had more context.

Ryan walked right past groups of fans by the barricade outside at the Vancouver show and said he’d be back, but just hid in the bus instead. He had a right to do that, but some fans still acted like they were being robbed of their right to meet the guys.

Ryan, Jon, and Spencer came out to greet fans in Seattle, but Brendon didn’t… so that felt like a noteworthy rare combination.

Zack brought Brendon out to meet fans in Atlanta while the other guys prepared a late surprise birthday party for him. Then Jon & Ryan came out to greet fans too.

this same situation happened at several different shows so maybe it’s worth mentioning: Brendon came out to greet a small group of fans who waited for hours by the bus. They asked Zack if they could meet Ryan too and were told that Ryan had gone off somewhere after the show and was too drunk to meet anyone. So it sounded like Ryan hung out with friends on this tour and was having a fun time.

By this point fans knew that if Zack told you to leave, that meant you should stick around because then the guys would come out to meet the remaining smaller group. So I’m sure that became challenging when Zack actually did want everyone to listen haha.

I was usually entertained to hear what Zack had added to his whole speech before meet & greets because obviously those things had happened in order for him to mention them. By this tour he was saying stuff about don’t smell the guys, don’t try to trip them when they walk into the room, don’t fart, don’t scream at them that you want to have their babies…

Brendon’s family was at the show on his birthday and I heard that a lot of fans were really rude to them. Some kids recognized his family and were horrified that many fans actually told Brendon’s dad stuff like “get the f--- out of my way,” assumed that his brothers were gay and started taunting them & calling them fags, and basically did a great job demonstrating what Brendon had to put up with in his career.

Not all of the screams of “northern downpour” at the shows were random enthusiasm for the song… sometimes it was members of the fan club making themselves known.

Zack said that fans could bring cameras if they were under 7 megapixels and didn’t have a detachable lens, so I just want to emphasize that all of our cameras back then were not as bad as a lot of pictures look. But I heard that cameras weren’t heavily investigated at some venues, so some people still brought in decent ones.

Just like with previous tours, professional photographers were only allowed up front for the first few songs. Some fans printed fake photo passes that actually worked.

I heard a fan tried to give Brendon a t-shirt with Audrey Kitching’s face on it.

I thought it was funny how so many of the people who were complaining about Ryan’s new “hippie hair” in August 2007 were now demanding that he bring that back instead of his current 1960s haircut.

I stopped keeping track of the ridiculous amount of fan projects/presents that were mailed to the band, but I did think it was neat that the girls who organized the scrapbook for Brendon’s birthday had sent it to the venue that the band was at on April 12th so it was waiting for him in the dressing room.

Las Vegas Weekly wrote this about the band’s Vegas show in June: “Spotted in the Palms parking lot was a hand-painted Toyota Prius, splashed with purple, pink and yellow paint and the messages ‘We Must Reinvent'... The artwork also included a bright sun/smiley face, musical notes, and, along the back, “Honk If You Love Panic.” Panic at the Disco fans, in town for the Vegas band’s show at the Pearl.”

MISC STUFF FROM THIS SEASON IN GENERAL

Here’s Spencer’s stuff for Meinel.

by the end of tour we knew that Northern Downpour would be the next single.

the band was MusicChoice’s Artist of the Month in May.

Pretty. Odd. honestly did well on the charts at first! It debuted at #2, but by May there were articles about the poor sales. The street team was mobilized again to call radio stations & request that they play PATD (which was a little concerning tbh). It felt like fall 2005 all over again... except the band’s success/popularity was not increasing exponentially this time. 

The band started getting questions about their poor record sales in interviews and most of their answers just shrugged it off. They wanted to focus on other ways of measuring success, like whether people came to their shows. The guys also understood that a lot of people were pirating music online now, so sales might not be an accurate representation of the number of people actually listening to your music.

Honda & MTV were responsible for the majority of the hype surrounding PATD this spring. A lot of the media attention this season was also riding off of the Fever era’s success. 

T-Mobile released the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone during the Honda Civic Tour. That came preloaded with a song from P!ATD and one from Phantom Planet. The video for That Green Gentleman was also preloaded on the phone, along with “an exclusive making-of video with a greeting from the band.”

The amount of staggeringly lazy journalism this year was even worse than normal. Some small details were just entertaining, though. Brendon’s name was spelled wrong so often and there were a lot of different stories for how Jon joined the band (one article made it sound like the guys scooped Jon up at a Chicago tour stop and booted Brent out the other side of the van on their way out of town). Another article claimed that “Vocalist Brendon Urie, guitarist Ryan Ross and drummer Spencer Smith were 17-year-old buddies from Las Vegas when they suddenly had a No. 1 hit on MTV with the video for “I Write Sins Not Tragedies.” (Brendon turned 19 a couple months after that video premiered on MTV and he wasn’t even the oldest band member).

Most fans were on the same page about the Ryden stuff: we’d have fun listing “proof” but obviously almost nobody actually believed it (because that wasn’t the point). However, the Brendon/Shane stuff was different… that relationship looked plausible without fans even trying, and some people did honestly wonder about them.

There were a LOT of fake myspace pages for Dylan Urie-Valdez (the dog that Brendon & Shane shared). A lot of them were mainly focused on the idea that Brendon & Shane were gay. Someone even made a fake myspace page for Pete Wentz’s dog and then used it to tell people to follow this fake “dilloncornbreadandchicken” account (which was one of the more committed fakes that made even the biggest PATD fans do a double take... and it took me a few solid minutes to figure out it was fake ha). Hobo’s myspace was real, though! Keltie ran that and shared lots of pictures.

Out.com told Spencer that “It seems like the crowds at your concerts have changed over the last couple years. There are still a lot of girls and gay guys, but there are also a lot of stoned college dudes.” Spencer replied:

We have observed it. We think it’s awesome. It’s something we kind of hoped for -- not specifically stoner college guys, but trying to get a more broad audience. We definitely have noticed people in the audience who only know our first album, which is totally expected. But there’s also people that know every word to every song off the new record, and aren’t as familiar with the old stuff.

Peter Milton Walsh of The Apartments offers a pocketful of sunshine...

Peter Milton Walsh started his, band, The Apartments, in Brisbane, Australia in 1978. He didn’t release his debut LP until 1985 (The Evening Visits...and Stays For Years). I didn’t hear the band until 1995 when Restless Records here in the U.S. released the terrific A Life Full of Farewells (in between was 1992′s Drift). The releases have been sporadic throughout the years (and there were several years in between when Walsh did create any music at all) but each one glistens with a special kind of magic that only Walsh seems to possess. Though 2020 has been a difficult year, to say the least, one of the bright spots was the release of a new Apartments’ record In And Out of The Light released on Talitres Records (through Riley Records). The record is classic Walsh, spare, gorgeous songs written as the sun goes down (or comes up) with love or loss as its main theme (in most cases). I sent Mr. Walsh some questions and he was more than happy to open up about the record and what’s next.

When did the songs start coming together for the new record?

 The plan was to record the album in a couple of weeks in September 2019 in Tours, which is about 2 hours South of Paris. Antoine has a studio there. Natasha would come down from Lille, Nick from London. Then I was moving over to Berlin to mix them with Victor Van Vugt, who now has a studio there. Vic produced the evening visits… back in 1985. (He went on to work with P J Harvey, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds etc.)  

 But the band wanted to hear the songs before September. So I started by making a couple of demos with a guy who lives just around the corner, Darren Cross. A great musician.

 Butterfly Kiss was one, Pocketful too. I sent Butterfly Kiss off to Natasha when she was in Lisbon, and she wrote back to say she’d listened to it over and over, ten times or more, walking at night by the Tagus river and that she fell in love with the song in Lisbon. I thought that was a good sign!

 I found that those two songs came alive in the process of recording the demos, so then I thought I don’t want to do any more demos, I just want to make an album. Now! The process made me impatient to begin the album.

So rather than wait till September, I found a place near where I live in Sydney, and approached the producer, Tim Kevin, telling him I had a couple of songs to start the album off with but that I wanted to try to write the rest of the songs as we went along.

 The earliest we could start was July, early days of Winter here, as Tim’s studio was very heavily booked.

 I have been writing songs since I was 15, and I’ve never really gotten any better at it. I still don’t know what’s happening exactly. But I thought, this will make the whole set of songs very fresh, very in the moment.

 This album will not be me trying to recapture the past, it will be me in the present moment, in the Winter of 2019.

 I had recorded the title track of No Song, No Spell, No Madrigal like that. All we had for NSNSNM was my piano part, Eliot’s bass and Gene’s drums. The rest of it I made up in the studio. Wayne kept asking me when we would finish the vocal part, because we were running out of time, and even though I didn’t have any idea what the finished lyrics would be I kept telling him it was OK—the song would start in the rain and end in the rain and across the course of the song the guy would be changed.

 I thought of the lyric like a voiceover in film noir—the guy reaches the end of the song and just knows he must change his life.

 And that’s how we went with In and Out of the Light. Each time I’d finish a new song, I’d think—I’ll never write another song again. But some time would pass—we were recording very sporadically—and something else would come up. We went on like that until we hit the magic number 8, and I thought—OK, that’s 8 songs that sit together well, don’t tempt fate. Stop now, start mixing the album.

 What was the recording process like, I’d read other musicians recorded parts in their own country?

 I would record some guitar or piano, a vocal, arrange the song, then upload it. Natasha, Antoine and Nick would then record things they thought might work and upload them for us, then Tim and I would select what we wanted and add it. It was very easy. In many ways, we were recording in the perfect way for the COVID era—though the COVID era had not yet begun. Sometimes I’d record 1 day in a week, sometimes more. Very short days. Usually home by six. All very unusual, but that was the situation because Tim was so heavily booked.

 The new record

 Had you worked with produce Tim Kevin before? What did he bring to the sessions?

 No. He’s got a fabulous ear, is a sensational guitar player and singer and has an epic, really impressive concentration span. Also, he was very open to the way I wanted to work—we’d had that discussion before committing to recording. So I could turn up, play him something, and ask if he saw some promise in what I had. And mostly he did.

 Did you have any hesitation about releasing a record in 2020?

 We finished mixing the day before lockdown hit Sydney, so that part of the timing was beautiful. Playing music, being in a band, touring, releasing records—this is a casino life anyway. If you can’t accept that things often don’t go to plan, you’re in the wrong line of work.

 We had a tour planned for September/October 2020, when the album was due for release. That had to be cancelled. We then had a bigger tour planned for February/March 2021—clubs, festivals, some big shows—and had to cancel that as well. I have no idea when we’ll be able to leave Australia—yesterday, the Australian Tourism minister announced that rising COVID cases in Europe and the US mean that Australians won’t be able to visit either of these places next year, unless a vaccine was invented.

  Where did the title come from, In and Out of the Light?

 Possibly two things occurred to me. Firstly, that on the days that I was recording, I would disappear from the high, bright Winter daylight into the lamplit darkness of the studio and that this too—moving in and out of the light—is the pattern of existence. We are constantly changing, and the conditions of our lives do as well. No feeling is final.

 For those of us who wish there were more Apartments records, why do the records come out so infrequently?

 The Apartments once had a good 4 year run—drift, A Life Full Of Farewells, fête foraine and apart then, for personal reasons, I turned away from the music world, and any kind of public life that goes with it.

 Will you be playing any shows (I know here some folks are beginning to do occasional backyard shows and others in other unique venues…drive in theatres, etc).

 That’s a great idea.

His previous record from 2015

 Who are some of your favorite current musicians/bands?

 If a song has fingerpicking, a certain kind of smoke or melancholy in the voice and maybe a major 7th, I’m a fool for it and always have been, always will be. With new music, I can be as fickle as the next person and I’m not a particularly organized person—so there’s no purpose or method in how songs get to me.

 It’s random, they seem to just float in. But here are some of the tracks that have seduced me recently, from my Soundcloud/Bandcamp/Spotify lists. I’m drawn to singles; if I love the album as well, that’s really magic.

About Me!

I think the reason I have a hard time remembering to post is because I feel like I don’t know anyone here and nobody knows anything about me.

So I thought I would make a post to describe myself a little bit, and if you want, reblog with some stuff about you!

I’m Sara. I’m 15 and from the US. My favorite thing is to draw (My art instagram is @/artificialspice). Some other music I listen to is Paramore, Hole, Weezer, and other music from the 90s. I also really like to play video games.

I’ve been listening to Taylor since the Fearless era. I was obviously really young so I couldn’t participate in the fandom, but Taylor is my whole childhood. My first concert I went to was the Red Tour in Columbia, SC. I also went to 1989 Greensboro and the Reputation Stadium Tour in Atlanta (Night 2, which in a couple days will be a year!).

The Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem van Loon

1922 Newbery Medal Winner

Adapted by Ryvers, Ridge, Birch, Bramble, Adler, Beck, Juniper, Ember, and Indigo of Martin School of Awesomeness (2019)

From Belton, SC

Judges' Remarks: This movie was an astonishing tour de force, a real 90-Second Newbery classic! This movie zips through almost all of the most important highlights of this book’s account of the history of humanity with style and inventiveness. I loved the resourceful costumes, from the animal skins worn by the unintelligibly muttering “prehistoric man” around the fire, to the elaborate Egyptian headdresses, robes, and bangles, to the Greek and Roman costumes, and beyond, all the way to World War I! There were so many ingenious and inventive touches here: for instance, the hilarious juxtaposition of the fine arts of Athens vs. the warlike society of the Spartans (with a repeated whiplash between the gentle piano music representing the Athenians and the intense metal guitar representing the Spartans, as we look back and forth between the two societies) culminating in the reference to the movie “300,” with someone yelling “THIS IS SPARTA!” and kicking an Athenian down. The many, many combats of this movie were artfully shot and kinetically edited, especially the gladiatorial combat in Rome, the Renaissance jousting, and the American Revolution and Civil War (both of which use “wide shots” to great effect). I loved the “Bring Out Your Dead!” reference to “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” during the medieval part (well, maybe the real reason I loved that part was those cute toddlers in the wheelbarrow!) and I thought it was a clever trick to use a blue sheet to indicate water during the ship scenes during the era of exploration. There isn’t time for every single historical event, and I was amused at how some historical moments just got 2-3 seconds (the Reformation, and indeed all of Chinese history!). There was excellent cinematography and energetic editing throughout. King George was particularly well performed. I loved the goofiness of seeing Napoleon on a rocking horse, and the reference to the theme of “Little House on the Prairie” during the “expansion” section was a fun subtle reference. The switch to black-and-white for World War I, with its dreary trenches, machine guns, and grenades was a smart touch. This whole movie was a delight to watch from front to back, and I loved the wonderful credits sequence in which we see the whole family together at the end! Super impressive!

speak yourself tour 20190525♡

eu sei que estou atrasada talvez alguns meses, mas eu tive que ter a coragem de vir aqui e contar como foi tudo de forma calma e cronológica um poucos menos caótica tambem, porque eu quero e preciso muito ter registro de um dos momentos mais lindos da minha vida.

tickets

tudo começou quando o jose anunciou que os meninos viriam ao brasil mas ninguém acreditou, todo mundo achou que era fic (até eu, rs) mas quando eu voltei da escola e tinham datas novas naquele site eu gritei tanto eu surtei tanto, fiquei desesperada e na verdade nem acreditei muito que era real. então tudo ficou eufórico demais, o medo de não conseguir ir, a decepção de não poder ir com uma pessoa especial, a incerteza de não saber se eu podia estar em algum lugarzinho daquele estádio; tudo começou a rodar e rodar aqui dentro.

as datas de compra foram saindo e eu sempre insistia ao meu pai sobre me emprestar o cartão, ja que mesmo tendo dinheiro, o cartão de crédito te possibilita a várias coisas legais (ou o capitalismo só te faz imaginar isso) dia 11 de março estava chegando e eu sem certeza alguma se conseguiria ir, sem noticias de qual site seria, como funcionava, se teria fila virtual um horror, alem de minha professora de espanhol ter marcado oia pro dia da compra e eu simplesmente faltaria na escola (sim perderia oia, nota e o que mais fosse pied piper que sempre me perdoe), mas choveu muito na noite de domingo pra segunda e a luz acabou, kkk eu fiquei preocupada de nao conseguir comprar por falta de luz, nao consegui dormir direito até a bendita voltar de manhãzinha (por volta das 6hrs) avisaram no grupo da sala que metade da cidade vizinha -scs- onde estudo, ficou alagada e com isso a minha escola, então não teve aula de qualquer jeito, eu não perdi oia estava tudo sobre controle. quando meu pai me deu o cartão antes de ir trabalhar eu finalmente percebi que era real, eu ia entrar no jogos vorazes pra tentar conseguir algo, estava sinceramente de boas até começar a ficar perto das 9h, então 9h15... 9h27... 9h42... eu resolvi me desligar de tudo cinco minutos antes de abrir o site pra me concentrar melhor já estava tremendo abri o pc e loguei a conta mas poxa, o pedro começou a me irritar e acho que ele não percebeu no momento como aquilo era realmente importante pra mim até eu começar a chorar, já desgastada, com ansiedade, tive diarreia e urticária tudo por conta do psicológico trabalhando rapido demais pensando demais. ele ate colocou a cachorra do meu lado dizendo ser pra dar sorte, a maia mais deu azar que tudo mas eu amo ela mesmo assim azarenta. quando deu 10hrs meu pesadelo começou de forma rápida e potente, não consegui o ingresso que queria, não sabia como levar um ingresso so pro carrinho entao mesmo depois de varios avisos e notas mentais eu dei f5 na página foi desespero, cacete eu voltei pra fila de espera. eu chorava demais parando pra pensar agora é super ridículo e tenho vontade de rir e me dar um pau por ser estúpida a este ponto, mas na hora eu não estava nem ai se os vizinhos denunciassem minha casa por acharem que alguem estava sofrendo agressão comecei a chorar muito mais e me desesperar a cada vez que os ingressos esgotavam, voltavam, esgotavam, ficavam indisponíveis. foi um inferno na terra, meus grupos conseguiam e todo mundo comemorava e por mais que eu soubesse que tinham outras pessoas que não conseguiram talvez eu tinha inveja e um amargo no fundo na garganta toda vez que via no wpp ou pela tml do tt alguém conseguindo, me perdoe sou humana pensava que era pra ser meu nao deles. mandei audio chorando pra yasmin e à minha mãe e enquanto a yas me consolava de forma inutil porque eu so queria aquilo e mmnada mais minha mae agiu, ela tentou me ajudar pelo serviço dela, eu disse como funcionava o site como ela devia pesquisar e escolher o ingressso e então ela tentava de lá e eu de cá. detalhe que isso na chamada de video do wpp enquanto eu gritava desesperada pedindo por favor aos ceus quase desistindo, tentando voltando, cansando,refletindo, e as horas passando e o pessoal comprando. quando ela conseguiu depois de eu passar os dados do meu pai fiquei??? EU IRIA MESMO?? SERIO?? sim rs, meio louco? consegui o ingresso as 11h15. 5 minutos do 2 tempo quase antes de esgotar era realmente pra ser

eu fiquei tão feliz poxa pude mudar de "quer ir na ly tour" para "VAI NA SY TOUR", só fiquei triste pela leticia ela queria tanto, mas não conseguiu comprar pq o pai dela não tinha cartão além de que teve a casa alagada no dia das vendas, perdeu muito, me senti mal quando ela mandou a mudança do nome no meu contato.

logo após, esgotar o dia 1 bighit lançou o dia 2 e as vendas foram dia 14 uma quinta, mas aí eu fui para a escola normalmente. os dois dias esgotaram em menos de duas horas. O máximo

map of the soul persona

no meio de tudo isso teve o comeback deles de uma nova era, um mini álbum lindo, teve feat com a halsey, teve sub unit, teve namjoon com skool luv affair, teoria de livros psicanalíticos, o mapa da alma de acordo com Jung, concept photos, capas bonitas, HOME!!!! a boêmia de dionysus, teve recordes e então todo mundo sabia que teriam músicas do álbum mais recente então a setlist mudaria. fiquei feliz, queria muito home ao vivo fritando todo mundo num estádio.

D-50...

então a fase de não conseguir pensar mais em nada anão ser o dia do show, de saber qual seria a diferença da ly para a sy, merch, setlist, como eu iria, com qual roupa, o que levar, quanto juntar. foi tão gostoso passar esse tempo pensando no show, por mais que tenha sido uma obsessão não tão sadia. comprei pulseira que brilha, vi vídeos sobre shows, sobre meu setor, entrei em grupos para encontrar pessoas, foi na verdade uma coisa engraçada. finalmente eu iria ver tear e baepsae ao vivo, estava realizada cacete! eu e todo mundo que conseguiu sonhava com esse dia foi tão bom ver as pessoas fazer planos, quem não pode comprar ficava triste sempre e diziam que desativariam nos dois dias, leticia me chamou pra perguntar se eu gostaria de levar a army bomb dela já que ela não iria, pediu pra eu gritar o máximo que podia e dizer pro jimin o quanto ela ama ele, foi algo que deixou meu coração tão quentinho, eu levaria pra ela sou boba nem nada. disse pra ela me entregar quando estivesse mais próximo ao dia do show, ela pediu pra eu não ligar pra army bomb muito porque estava queimada pela água da enchente eu disse que o importante não era aquilo. fui todo dia mudando o D do meu nome de perfil, enchia o saco das meninas na escola, a yasmin que teve de aguentar. era como se eu e metade do fandom br só vivesse pra esse ver esse dia chegar. o que se torna uma verdade vergonhosa. tinham 6 shows da sy nos EUA antes do Brasil e no primeiro dia oficial da sy tour, todo mundo assistiu a live pra saber como seria o estilo do show e a setlist e... bom não agradou todo mundo (posso dizer que até eu fiquei um pouco bolada, queria muito airplane pt2.), mas a dinâmica ficou foda pra caralho, o colar de quem ia no soundcheck é a coisa mais linda do mundo e tem personalizado com os shows dos estados que nem as camisetas oficiais, as panteras no começo, os figurinos mudaram, fogos de artifício, jungkook começou a voar, hopekook, yoonjin, monimini, o taehyung sozinho, brinquedos infláveis, o cenário tava tão mais confortável pra eles, simplesmente perfeito, o merch não era um dos melhores porque nenhum supera wings, tinham chaveirinhos que eu decidi comprar um pra mim outro pra yasmin (ela gosta do tete). e eu acompanhei todas as semanas do show mudava todos os dias o D, tinha uma conta no twitter que sempre dizia o que levar, o que nao, como se prevenir e tambem tinham as prevenções da live nation e o próprio allianz, que postava sempre coisinha dos meninos no twitter deles, fofo demais. a parte de luta disso era ter que abrir mão do meu salário do técnico todo mês pra pagar meu pai, não me arrependo de nenhum centavo gasto. procurava ajuda e alguém pra ir, até que conheci a gabriela. ela viria de amazonas pro show, agradeço por não ter precisado viajar pra poder ir. começamos a conversar e eu descobri que ela iria na mesma sessão que eu no mesmo portão (portão da favela toda), então já era iríamos juntas. eu não sei me sentia muito agitada, e percebi que isso passava pros meus pais também, arrumava as coisas não sabia o que usar, o último show nos eua estava chegando, tomo mundo entrando em crise, gente de outros estados tiravam esses dias pra explorar são paulo. eu sofria de antecipação.
