Blink 182 - Neighbourhoods = amaze so far = emotional wreck me

I feel a little bit mean for never giving these the credit they deserved, I was always very much Team TBS and wasn't bothered by what I heard of it. BUT The newly reformed TBS played Existentialism On Prom Night at their gig in Birmingham and it was amazing! Downloaded the album and am mildly obsessed. Its beautiful!

Firstly, can I say how much I love the new venue that this gig was at? The HMV institute in Birmingham is full on amazing! Been to 2 gigs there now and both have been made even more amazing by being able to sit on the balcony and watch the band with enough space to breathe, dance around and enjoy yourself away from the idiots killing each other in the pit. Mostly, being short, the balcony is amazing because it means you can actually see the band you've paid so much to go see!

Anyway, seeing the original line up…

what it is that defines your musical taste.
If asked I would say that The Gaslight Anthem is my favorite band.
But if I really thought about it I would have to finish that sentence with 'at the moment' or 'this year'
If I really put thought into it I would always come back to Taking Back Sunday, and favourite song would come back to My Chemical Romance with I'm not okay. Gaslight Anthem would at best get favourite album for 59 Sound.

The notion has come into my head as I sit here on a monday night when I…

Now Adam Lazzara is a man that I've been in love with and willingly adored for what, 4 or 5 years now, and I have never been irritated with him before.
However this new line-up change, or more to the point, what he's saying about the line-up change has riled me slightly.

We're on line-up change number 3008, or more accurately we're returning to the original line-up (though Jesse Lacey was an original member so not to sure how this works) which includes Adam Lazzara, Eddie Reyes, Mark O'Connell, John Nolan and Shaun Cooper. This is the…

Owl City

I do proper love this song, but come on, remind you a little bit of a one man version of HelloGoodbye??

In fairness, I think this non-honor may have to to to Taking Back Sunday for New Again in April.
I can't think of a great deal of albums that I have rushed out to get on the day of release ever, and all the ones that I can think of have been by this band.
Also I can't really think of a lot of albums that I've bothered to buy on c.d. this year, Taking Back Sunday, Robbie Williams (which is pretty great too tbf), Say Anything, Dashboard Confessional,

.. .. ..

It is at this point when I realize…

Has been bloody amazing :D
However poor TBS have been wiped off of the number 2 slot for best gig of the year even tho the Brixton Academy still wins as best venue.
So as it stands now we have -

1) Gaslight Anthem from February *With Frank Turner as support and the snow afterwards <3 *

2) Frank Turner from October *With catching up with old friends and amazing times with the boy*

3) TBS at Give it a Name in April *With the runaway weekend in London*

4) Jack's Mannequin in September *With acoustic Something Corporate times*

5)…

. . . made to be doing what they are doing, its the Gaslight Anthem

Just the most fucking amazing band on the planet.

And this time I will say it.

They beat TBS every single fucking time.The Gaslight Anthem

Well, almost, I still think he's a mardy arse but at the same time i think that made for a better show since he wasnt distracted by making small talk untill very near the end where he just talked about lesbians and introduced a new track.
They played like almost all of Deja (which still is my least favorite of the 3 albums but i liked it lots live) and then a good half of God and the Devil in order!! Seriously, Sowing Season, Milestone, Jesus, Degrauser then a little gap to You Wont Know (which was honestly the best…
