Hmm

So, I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this. I'll admit, I was pretty disappointed when I initially saw this on Spin's website. As you know I went to see Hard-Fi over the weekend and was pretty psyched that I was right that they're going to be big here in the US (at least according to Spin). So, I went to the show, wrote a review and called Spin to see if there was any way they'd even consider looking at it with the idea that maybe (maybe, this was a huge long-shot and I know it) they'd run it. Well, I never heard back from the girl at Spin I left a message for, which wasn't that huge of a surprise, but I was rather disappointed to find that maybe the reason I never heard back was because they already did an on-line exclusive review of Hard-Fi's show at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC (not to mention that their review was so much better than mine). I know I shouldn't really be disappointed, but I can't help it. I guess I just need to focus on the fact that my instict about the band was right-on, and really, isn't that part of it? I guess I can learn the writing side of it, I mean, that's what I do, I'm a writer and you can learn to write in new ways. I guess you can't learn instinct and that's one of the biggest parts of all this.
Still, kinda a bummer. Oh well.

One other thing (a confession of sorts). I really tried to be all, "Fall Out Boy is just a trend, too many people like them therefore it isn't cool" but, dammit, they're good. Funny, weird lyrics, catchy tunes, hot bassist (heh heh, can't help it!), bizarre videos and a pretty solid album. Like I said to husband, they're like crack (or so I've heard, about crack that is), don't listen to them once, you'll get addicted. Once again, curse FOB!
Later,
