Okay, so here's a little story for you guys. Because I'm not [here's a shocker for you] all into the holidays, I ended up doing some obligatory shopping yesterday. At a mall. On one hand, I lucked out in that I found a single bottle of my primary hair dye, which was sold out on the site I usually order it from. On the other, I had to hit up my anti-anxiety medication twice, just to deal with the people in the mall. I may need medication to shop, but I can take solace in the fact that I am not so desperate to shop that I park like this guy:
Yes, the dude is up on a huge snow bank. No, I have no idea how anybody got in or out of that car.
Anyway, news.
New clothing company alert: From Backseats to Bedrooms is the clothing line of Trace Cyrus from Metro Station. These bands don't even wait to get big anymore before launching their clothing lines [even though I do love me some Metro Station.] You can't see the clothese yet, but t-shirts and hoodies are coming soon, for what that's worth.
The 2008 Alternative Press tour had already revealed three of the bands on the tour: Forever the Sickest Kids, The Matches, and Sonny [as in Sonny Moore, the dude who left From First To Last.] The headlining bands are expected to be announced just after the new year.
Pennywise is releasing their new album via MySpace, for free, as well as on a deluxe CD/DVD version in stores. All of this goes down on March 25th. To download it for free, people will have to add a "promotional partner" called Textango as a friend. I guess that's one way to get people to buy CDs; tell them they have to befriend random companies to get them for free and look like huge dorks in the process. Pennywise made a statement saying, "We know that this will piss off a lot of people in the music industry and what do we say to that? 'Who cares?' We've been pissing people off for 18 years. Why stop now? We have been telling people to get our records by any mean necessary for 17 years."
Yeah! Damn the man! Fight the power! Etc, etc. [Ugh. That hurt to type.]
Finally, my gift to you is the convergence of Larry King and Tom DeLonge... in a battle to the death. Oh, wait... I made that part up. It's just an interview and a performance, though they may have had an unofficial "creepy eyes" contest going on.
Ah, Tommy D. Is there anything you can't do to amuse us here at Shoutmouth?
If you celebrate holidays, have a good one. If you don't, enjoy the day off from work you're likely to get and go eat Chinese food or something. Rock on!
