Not Gonna Lie.


Alkaline Trio | MySpace Music Videos

I would crack a joke about feeling like I’m back in high school over being excited about the new Alkaline Trio album coming out, but that would be a lie. And I’m not gonna lie.

I could also talk about how much I hate emo music, but that would only be a half lie because I really do like this band. And that I will not lie about.

I also wouldn’t lie about how watching this video today means something kind of cheesy and special, since I was first enjoyed their old albums on a midnight road trip up north that kicked off the best adventure of my life for the next four years.

So there you go. Happy Anniversary! Here’s to more road trips, sharing favorite music, holding hands, refusing to sit side by side alone at a table and feeling like the coolest couple on Earth.

Rock To Roll - Rise Against

What’s more awesome than seeing an entire line-up of some of your favorite bands like the Gaslight Anthem and Alkaline Trio for charity?

Watching another favorite band show up on stage and play an impromptu set.

I don’t think I’ve ever been that excited at a show before. We managed to find some really awesome seats at the Key Club (where there really are no seats) so a four hour show wasn’t as uncomfortable as it could have been!

Photos after the jump.

I learned early on that life wasn’t fair. I know. I get it. It’s not fair that I have the biggest butt in the family, or that I have flat feet, or that I feel like I am wasting my $35K-a-year education at my desk for 10 hours a day, but that’s okay. LIFE ISN’T FAIR.

But sometimes you come across things that make you want to scream it out the window. WHY ISN’T LIFE MORE FAIR? Like when you read about your fellow classmates being more successful than you, or your stupid car’s headlight goes out right when you have no time to get it fixed. You know, like WTF THIS SUCKS ARGGGHHH.

I went through these emotions the other day, when I read about a Myspace bulletin posted by The Bouncing Souls (aaaawwwesome!):

Yesterday we all enjoyed celebrating the wedding day of our good friend Frank from My Chemical Romance to his beautiful wife Jamia. It was a fine family gathering which ended up in us singing a couple of Frank’s fav Souls songs. Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio jumped up to sing along to an acoustic version of Night On Earth. He also did 3 of his songs on acoustic. Acoustic Skiba = goosebumps.

Okay? This isn’t fair. Aside from My Chemical Romance whom I could care less about, is it really necessary for the universe to let me know that a couple of my favorite bands like to hang out together and play impromptu music and basically, put on a little show AND NOT LET ME BE A PART OF IT?

Yeah, thanks. Anyone else you want to throw in there? Then Beck strolled in and announced that he was going back to his Odelay roots and doing a special rendition of all my favorite songs? Then they pulled out a giant box of Alfajores and gorged themselves on some Dulce De Leche sweetness? Then they all got together and played a couple games of Halo? What else? What else? Bring it on. I can take it!
