Artists on the 2009 AP Tour!!!!!
I have sources who have given me a list of the bands that will be on the tour, and let me just say, I am stoked.
Right now, this is what you will see on the AP TOUR page, along with a very annoying clicking count-down as to when the next band will be announced.
This is the Line-Up. Oh, you wish you could know who those smudges were. For the record, many of you will be stoked.
Alternative Press is giving away clues on their Twitter page.
A Rocket To The Moon has already been announced as the first band and had the following clues:
CLUE #1: Their name is five words long. Start thinking…
CLUE #2: The band are located in the Eastern Time Zone.
CLUE #3: They’re currently on tour with a former AP Tour band…
CLUE #4: Space travel would not be out of this band’s reach… 
CLUE #5: This band and the Rocket Summer have something in common…
The new *mysterious band* will be announced Friday, December 5th at Noon.
Here are the first few clues:
CLUE #1: Their band name is three words long.
CLUE #2 This band has five members.
Once this band is announced, the third, fourth, and fifth band will be announced on the following dates:
Third Band: 12/12/08
Fourth Band: 12/19/08
Fifth and Final Band: 12/26/08
Anyone think they know?
Let’s have fun with this. Who do you think it could be?
AAR You Going to Spill the Beans?
Hey, we understand. You may well be burdened with family obligations and nervously clinging to the sweet remnants of your tryptophan haze. But we’re compelled to remind you: the deadline to participate in our mondo package of All-American Rejects stuff is coming up fast, and if you’ve been waiting, you best, uh… move along? (Yep, we said it). We’re psyched by what we’ve seen so far, but we’re just heartless enough to crave more. We KNOW you’ve got a story about how you gave someone hell — how you exacted your wicked revenge on a deserving soul. You’ve had your turkey, now tell us how you served up some just desserts!! (All of this, of course, is inspired by the Rejects’ new song, “Gives You Hell.”)
Here’s a little resfresh sesh on the specs:
- Please keep your piece to between 300 – 500 words.
- Please email all submissions to aar@buzznet.com by 5:00pm Pacific time on Dec. 3rd.
- Please be sure to include your full name and Buzznet profile name (if applicable) in the email. Submissions without a first and last name will not be considered.
The best tales will be featured in our upcoming Rejects’ special.
But that’s not all: just in case you’re not the type to diss and tell, we’ve got another assignment. At least one of the boys in AAR has been thinkin’ on inkin’, and we believe he’s ready for a new tattoo. If you’ve got an idea for a design — and can draw it — we’d love to take a look. Seriously, if you’d like to sketch out an elaborate piece that you’re too needle-averse to get yourself, this is your chance to (potentially) see it poked into someone else. Send it to the email above by the deadline (that means N-O-W) and we’ll make sure it gets a fair hearing. Heck, you may just see the evidence of your talent on a rock star’s bod. Don’t wait.
Folie A Deux Preview, 11 of 13 Tracks!
Your Thanksgiving thankful list just got a little longer thanks for four fine Fall Out dudes. Keep on reading, you won’t be disappointed.
Just now, CFOBmania has found and put up a preview that includes nearly every Folie A Deux song, in snippets of course. I believe that it is 11 tracks out of the 13 in the album’s entirety.
It’s a little hard to tell from just the snippets but there are a few lyrics that can be easily noticed that we’ve heard before. Also, Brendon Urie and (I think) Lil’ Wayne are on two of the songs. You tell me.
- Worry worry/Put my head in such a flurry/Freckle freckle/What makes you so special?
- I will never believe in anything again/Change will come
Now go here so you can give your ears a high five! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Pete Wentz Talks Baby Name and Heart Attacks
Obviously, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz just became parents, right? And they named their baby boy Bronx Mowgli. I’m guessing that most of you have been wondering how and why they came up with the name. Well, here you go.
On Tuesday, Pete spoke to Ryan Seacrest, on his radio, giving out a little info about the birth of his son and said that, “The Jungle Book was something that me and Ashlee bonded over. It’s a cool name,”
Awesome. It’s nice to have something to bond over, even if it is Disney movies. He went on to explain further.
“We came up with the idea Bronx. We’ve been throwing [ideas] back and forth a while,” he says. “It’s kind of cool to just leave the narrative what it is. People are stoked or pissed or whatever. And you’re like, you know what: I don’t think anyone really has the real story.”
So what was this about a heart attack you ask?
“Right before she went into labor, I was like, ‘Oh, my god, I think I’m having a heart attack,’ ” he says. “My heart started beating real fast. You see your wife is in all this pain. And I don’t know what’s happening right now. She took care of me and made sure I was okay and then went into labor. That’s why she’s a saint.”
Now, if that’s not true love, I don’t know what is.
