I'm not sure why, but Buzznet isn't letting me upload pictures. It takes forever to load. :( So until I figure out how to fix it, Welcome To My Life and Love Creates Dreams Aparrel are on hold. Sorry! If anyone can help me out, it will be greatly appreciated. :D

Speaking of Love Creates Dreams (Follow me on Twitter @LoveCreateDream! Yes, I'm aware that Create and Dream are missing an s. The username exceeded the maxium charachter count. Boooo.), I want to thank everyone who has supported me with this clothing line! It means the world to me. :) I just finished designing the dinosaur shirt (Credit goes to Macy. Go add boysdontcry14). I'm currently working on a website so you guys can order some shirts. I need to get a job because I have to pay $10 a month for the website. :( I'll let you guys know when the website is up and running - hopefully in a couple weeks. I was thinking that shirts would be $20 and $5 from each shirt will be donated to a charity/organization of your choice. Is $20 too much? Is $15 better? GIMME FEEDBACK. :D

This is how I feel about Buzznet not letting me upload pictures. Lmfao. Okay, not really. This was taken a long time ago when Harrison (Currently 12) was 3 years old. I think? We were at VA Beach and he was terrified of the water. This picture makes me laugh so much. It's crazy how fast I've grown up and watched my siblings grow up. Oh gosh, I remember the days when Harrison's favorite color was purple and how he loved to play house with me. In preschool everything he drew inlcuded the color purple. Seriously. (Shhh. Don't tell anyone! He'll beat me up. :P) Now, he's growing up, taller than me, and love sports. I think he would go crazy if he wasn't playing sports. Everytime I mention that his favorite color used to be purple, he just gives me a stfu look. Haha. It's great.

This weekend has been pretty boring for me. I had to read All Quiet On the Western Front for English. I actually hated the book at first because it seemed like a "boy" book, but it's one of my favorite's now. The book was written by a German solider who survived the war. It's about a 19 year old guy who fights in the Germany army on the French front during World War 1. He sees his best friends being blown up, innocent people being killed, and other events he thought he would never see. Paul, the main charachter faces starvation, death, and violence every day. Anyway, read the book when you get the chance! It's so good.

I had to clean the whole house today because my cousins are coming up for Thanksgiving. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving. It's one of my top 5 favorite holidays. Everyone is in a good mood and you can eat as much as you want. Seriously, what can be better than that? Family + Good food = Fun times. I'm so thankful for my family/friends, life, and the people I've met. That includes everyone I have met on Buzznet and became friends with. You guys are the best!! Each year, my family has a game of mud football. It's so intense and alot of fun. My favorite foods to eat are the mashed potatoes, corn, and apple pie with vanilla icecream. I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie.. It's just so.. mushy.. Haha.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving? What are you thankful for?

Dan Young: Vocals/Guitar

Gavin Phillips: Guitar

David Blaise: Bass

Andy Horst: Drums

Label: Fueled By Ramen

Hailing from Seattle, Washington, This Providence, a Christian indie/rock band has received over 3 million plays on Myspace, released 3 albums and an EP within 6 years, and toured with numerous bands. I wasn't surprised when I discovered that they were considered a Christian band. Not all, but the majority of This Providence songs are about God. Listeners know that this band puts all their heart and soul into the music, whether it's writing songs or performing them live. Each song is catchy and just plain honest.

This Providence has shared the stage with The Cab, Copeland, Paramore, Sing It Loud, All Time Low, The Morning Light (RIP :'( ), Relient K, Brighten, Ludo, The Hush Sound, and many more. Over the Summer, they toured with Hey Monday, The Friday Night Boys, Stereo Skyline, and The Bigger Lights. This Fall, they will be touring with Cartel, The Summer Set, and Runner Runner.

Daniel Young (vocals) and Gavin Phillips (guitar) started This Providence in 2003. After graduating high school, This Providence worked with Seattle-based Rocketstar Recordings and released their debut full-length record, Our Worlds Divorce.

The quartet was signed to Fueled By Ramen in early 2006. They released their self-titled full-length Sophomore album in September 2006.

The opening track, A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, is clearly about Satan. Young is telling us to stop giving in and stand against the devil."I've had enough of your games. If you're not trembling, you'd better be, because we're gonna be the end of you. I'm gonna show them who you really are. And I can tell you right now, it won't be pretty / You held me down for so long, but it's not gonna last, because I can see right through your beautiful eyes."

Last October, the band released an EP titled The Bright Lights EP. This past March, they released their third album Who Are You Now? Compared to their self-titled album, Who Are You Now? shows how they developed their own sound and how they've grown as musicians.

Who Are You Now was recorded with Matt Squire (All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Panic! At The Disco). Oscary Wilde's, The Picture of Dorian Gray inspired Young to write a short story, which led him to write the 13 tracks of Who Are You Now?. This album is a collection of mostly rock songs with the occasional acoustic, slower songs.

Squeaking Wheels and White Light, the renovated version of My Beautiful Rescue, and Playing the Villian tend to be crowd pleasers. They have amazing lyrics and a fun, great beat that makes everyone want to dance. Chasing the Wind is the one of the acoustic songs that starts out mellow and gradually gets more powerful. My personal favorite is Sand In Your Shoes. Every since I heard Dan sing it back in February, I've been hooked. I can't go a day without listening to them.

Moral of the story? Don't judge a band on their looks. Even if they look like your typical pop/rock band. You will never know if their music could change your life if you don't give them a chance. I love that This Providence isn't afraid to share their message about God. Their talent definitely won't hold them back - making their future very bright.   

 This Providence - Letdown

Today, This Providence released the music video for their new single Keeping On Without You.

I've been in love with Cartel since I heard The Fortunate. I love every single song Cartel has ever put out - from Wasted to Save Us. I saw them in July with All Time Low and it was one of the best shows I've been too. Cycles was released last month. I love every single track. Each one is just as good as the track before. Some of my favorites are Only You and It Still Remains. Throughout this month, Cartel will be touring with This Providence and The Summer Set. In December, they will be playing with Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything at different shows.

2. Erik Hassle

"It's music about things you think of when you're going to sleep..." Sweden pop/soul artist, Erik Hassle is signed to Island and Universial Republic Records. His first single Hurtful has made its way onto the the Swedish and U.K. charts. Although, his entire album hasn't been released, you can listen to some of his songs on his myspace. My favorite is Don't Bring Flowers.

3. Nothing But Shoes

GUYS GUYS GUYS. WE HAVE A BAND AMONG THE BUZZNET FAMILY!!! First, add Katie's Buzznet then check out her band, Nothing But Shoes. It's kinda quiet since they recorded it on their own, but other than that it sounds pretty good. If you like Blink 182, Paramore, All Time Low, The Ramones, New Found Glory, and the old Fall Out Boy, give them a listen. I'm in love with One Way. Keep up the great work Katie and best of luck! :D

4. Callahan

Hailing from Ohio, members of Callahan have been best friends since childhood. If you like The Bigger Lights or Red Car Wire, check out Callahan! They have recieved positive reviews from The Daily Chorus, Purevolume, AP Magazine, Fearless Radio, Absolute Punk, and many more. Listen to The Dive, Dress to Impress, This One For the History Books, and Face the Day.

5. We Are Birds

VS.  

We Are Birds is one of my favorite Brighten songs. Today, someone sent me a link of Mindy White's cover. I didn't even know she could sing.. :O Haha. Her voice is so pretty! I'm not really sure which version I like more.. They are both equally amazing. Listen here. Which version do you perfer?

Are you obsessed yet?

Just a year and a half ago, Every Avenue released their debut album, Shh. Just Go With It, under Fearless Records. Every Avenue has sold over 20,000 copies and toured all over the world. Anyone who has seen them live knows that they have a deep passion for music and always put their all in what they do, making their sets energetic and fun. Words couldn't really describe how excited I was when I found out that they were recording a new album, which also happens to be the Sophmore release. I'll admit that I was kind of nervous. Many bands have been labeled as a "Sophmore Slump" after releasing their second album. Meaning that the second album failed to live up to the standards of the first album. Every Avenue's Picture Perfect is everything but a "Sophmore Slump".  

Track Listing:
1. For Always, Forever
2. Mindset
3. Tell Me I'm A Wreck
4. Picture Perfect
5. Happy The Hard Way
6. Girl Like That
7. Saying Goodbye
8. Finish What You Started
9. I Forgive You
10. The Story Left Untold
11. Clumsy Little Heart

 The opening track, "For Always, Forever",  has very descripitive lyrics, painting a picture in listener's heads. The catchy beats and references of growing up in Michigan makes this song easy to relate too.

"The Story Left Untold", and "Happy The Hard Way" are the slower, softer songs - similar to "Between You and I" from Shh. Just Go With It. 

Although Every Avenue is starting to develop their own sound, songs like "Mindset", "Tell Me I'm A Wreck", and "Saying Goodbye" reminds listeners of the songs from their debut album.

 "Finish What You Started" and "I Forgive You" are somewhat predictable songs, but still good. Listening to the rifts and guitar solo in the last and final track, "Clumsy Little Heart" still amazes me.

Compared to Shh. Just Go With It, Every Avenue has definitely developed their own sound and matured as musicians  by using different time, key changes, and using everyones voice ("Girl Like That" at 2:15) while sticking to the pop-rock style. Each song still has the catchy hooks, rifts, and choruses that Every Avenue is known for. Kudos for Mitch Allen (Jonas Brothers, Faith Hill) and Mike Green ((Paramore, Breathe Carolina, Set Your Goals), who produced this record.

So there you go. My first album review. Picture Perfect isn't just another pop punk release, but an excellent, solid sophmore effort. There is not one song I don't like. The record is definitely worth buying so go buy it! It's on sale for $7.99 at Target until November 18. It's worth every penny you pay for.

Anyone else notice that there are only 2 comments and not that many views? You would think that there would be thousands of comments. Some defending their favorite band saying that they aren't selling out and others saying"LYK ZOMG ATL R BECOMING S3LL 0UT$!!!"

"Good Charlotte's Benji Madden told Billboard the group is shooting for a fall release for its next Epic album. Expect "more straightforward rock, maybe taking it back to our first or second record," he said. Madden is especially psyched for the song "Love Ain't Easy," which he promises is "really catchy. We love the catchy hooks." Good Charlotte may tour later this year with new Interscope band All Time Low, whose frontman, Alex Garskath, joined Madden on the red carpet." (Source)

I checked the artists under Interscope and All Time Low wasn't listed..? Some say they are selling out. Others disagree. I think that people confuse the terms selling out and becoming more popular/maintstream. As long as the bad stays in it for the passion for music and don't become consumed with money and fame, they aren't selling out. I'm not necessarily saying that All Time Low are or aren't selling out.

What do you think of the different record label? Is All Time Low becoming a sell out?

I guess I knew something was wrong when Harrison (piano, vocals) left the band. The Morning Light was suppose to go on tour with Every Avenue this past Summer with Valencia and Cash Cash, but dropped out because they were given the opportunity to record new songs. I would seriously check their myspace everyday to see if they posted any new songs or shows. Nothing. Matt started working with All Time Low and everyone else went their seperate ways for a while.

Last Saturday, they played a show. So there was hope that they weren't breaking up. Not yet, at least. I checked their Twitters and read some of their myspace comments. Some of the comments said "wow. that was a disgrace tonight. what a waste of my money." and "so i heard tonight's show was.. interesting." :( I can't believe Saturday was their last show. Ever.    

Rumors were going around saying that they were going to break up. I didn't want to believe it. To confirm that they actually broke up, I asked Andy if the rumors were true and he said they aren't breaking up. They just aren't continuing as a band. SAME THING ANDREW.

Why are so many bands members leaving their bands? Hmm. Lets see. Panic! At The Disco, The Cab, Chiodos, Mayday Parade, VersaEmerge, Hey Monday, and Cute Is What We Aim For. Next, someone is going to tell me that All Time Low or The Maine has broken up.. D: I understand if you want to move on with your life or have personal issues, but to just break up out of the blue. Why? BANDS, PLEASE STOP BREAKING UP. PLEASE.

To end on a light note, check out their last and final song called "Colors". I love it. Oh and if you remember Harrison, he has some solo stuff up on his myspace. I found these old videos of The Morning Light and The Maine. Watch them. It's so funny.

The Morning Light Does The Maine.

The Maine Does The Morning Light.

When a band member(s) leaves the band, do you think the band will be more or less successful?

Someone explain to me why they make fun size candy? What's fun about less candy?

9. Black cats were believed to protect witches from negative forces.

10. There were no red coloured M&Ms from 1976 to 1987.

11. Approximately 82% of children and 67% of adults take part in Halloween festivities every year.

12. The Halloween colors, orange and black, came from fall harvest and darkness/death.

13. To burn off 1 single M&M, you need to walk a full length of a football field.

14. On Halloween night, if you want to meet a witch, put your clothes on inside out and walk backwards.

Thank you Alex Gaskarth for leaking Every Avenue's song, Picture Perfect. It's amazing. I'm def. preordering the album. LISTEN!! :D

Don't worry, it's short and sweet

In middle school, I met this girl

She was bright, hilarious, pretty, intelligent

Everyone loved her

Sleepovers, concerts, Oreo eating contests

Long walks; not knowing or caring where we were going

As long as we were together

Hey best friend, does this story sound familiar?

All those hours we spent talking about high school

Promising each other that peer pressure and new people wouldn't change us

Well, it was such a waste of time

Summer going into high school

You met new people and changed

That one night

Dark, chilly, haunting

You were fighting a lot with your parents

And started smoking, drinking, cutting

Experimenting with drugs I can't even pronounce

I wanted to help, but you wouldn't let me

Confused, I didn't know what to do

I don't know who you've become

Everything is different

No more sleepovers, concerts, Oreo eating contest

You've become someone we promised each other we wouldn't become

I wish I could go back to that one night

Change everything that happened

And help you stop smoking, drinking, cutting

Do you?

Or are you happy with the person you've become?

I'll never know.

Hey best friend, I miss you. 

This is a poem I wrote for an English assingment. I know it sucks. Haha. Lately, I've been having some problems with a friend. I have lost friends to drugs and drinking. Okay, well they aren't dead, but I don't talk to them anymore. They just do things now that I thought they would never do. This one girl I knew used to be like a genius. Well, she's basically an idiot now from all the drugs she's experimented with. She used to be really pretty too. Her eyes are now always blood shot and she has huge dark circles under her eyes. Everytime I walk past her, she reeks of pot. NASTY. I honestly don't see what's so exciting about drinking and smoking. It doesn't make you "cool". It's gross and smells bad. It will make you do things you'll regret. It's one thing to do all that stuff, but you are seriously an idiot if you post pictures of yourself drinking and doing drugs on facebook and myspace. Once again, it doesn't make you look "cool" or "popular". No one cares how many cans of beer you drank or the number of bowls you smoked. You know what's also a turn off? When you find out your favorite band member/musician smokes. Um, hello. It's bad for your voice!

Anyway, what do you think of the poem? Good? Bad?

Have you lost friends to drinking/drugs?

If you like Death Cab For Cutie, Paper Route, or The Postal Service, you'll LOVE Stars of Track and Field. SOTAF just realesed their album A Time For Lions in September. This 3 piece band from New York will be on tour with Lights until early November. Alternative Press gave them 4 stars in March 2007. Check out "Racing Lights", "End of all Time", and "Centuries".

2. Anarbor

Signed to Hopeless Records, this 4 piece pop rock band from Arizona has gained alot of attention over the past year. Last winter, Anarbor was on the Take Action Tour with Cute Is What We Aim For, Breathe Carolina, and Every Avenue. This past summer, they toured with The Cab, The Summer Set, and Eye Alaska, and played at a couple Warped Tour dates. Anarbor just finished a tour with This Providence and will be playing on 2 more tours. You can play a couple of their songs on TapTapRevenge2 if you have the iPhone or iPod Touch. Now, I don't know if you watch football, but the song "Let The Games Begin" was played on the NFL Season kick off. I was so excited when I heard it. Check out "The Brightest Green", "Passion For Publiciation", "Halfway Sober", and "Between You and I". Keep in touch with them through their own website, twitter, and myspace .

3. Jimmy Robbins

Look at him. It's hard not to fall in love with that gorgeous smile and beautiful voice. Signed to Universal Motown Records, Jimmy Robbins just realsed his album "See Through Secerts" in early September. I've been in love with him ever since I listened to the song "Breathe". Some songs make me smile and just want to dance. Others are very personal and everyone can relate to them. Listen to "Surgery". It's such a powerful song. Listen to "Turn It Up", "Losing Control", "Breathe Again", and "Everything To You". For acoustic lovers, check out Too Sorry for Apologies (2006).

4. Hello Hollywood

What do you think of when you hear the word Arizona? Good music. It's the home of The Maine, The Higher, The Summer Set, Jimmy Eat World, Anarbor, and many more. Hailing from Arizona, Hello Hollywood gets thousands of plays a day on their myspace. The lead singer is only 18 years old. Not too bad for a teenager. Listen to "Kids Undercover", "Danger Danger", "So Late, So Sorry" (featuring Brian Logandales of The Summer Set!) and "Summer Sweetness". Help them get on the PacTour with Saosin and Eye Alaska (vote here) and The Ellen Degenres show (vote here)! I voted. You should too. ;)
