Ok, so technically this has almost nothing to do with Los Angeles but this is my blog and I'll post about whatever I want to...
In college I discovered a struggling band that happened to make music I really identified with. The guys in the band where all about my age and I like to think if I had any kind of musical talent I would have been making music very similar to theirs. Many concerts later these same guys agreed to play our upcoming wedding but it happened to be just days before the release of their album that ended up going double platinum. Needless to say they didn't play our wedding and I don't blame them.
You're going to think less of me but that band was Fall Out Boy. Since going mainstream and seducing millions of tween girls I have grown rather shameful when listening to their music. It's still some of the best I've ever heard mind you, it's just that I can't stand knowing I've got the same musical tastes as the girls who vote on TRL. For whatever it's worth, I can say that I did find them before they became teen idols.
At any rate, Nicole and I have been waiting for the day they break up and our favorite member of the band goes solo. Well, today I learned that exactly that has happened and I couldn't be more excited:
