So. Freaking. Much. Snow.

The last time we had this much snow was like fifteen years ago. Seriously.

Panic! B-sides!!!

PatD - Behind the Sea (alternate version)
Ryan singing! *flail* The voice lessons seriously paid off. A lot.
So mellow. Wow. I really want to know what the not-alternate version sounds like. Only two and half weeks, sigh.

PatD - Do You Know What I'm Seeing (alternate version)
Brendon!!! Melodic. Gorgeous.

I like these both, but where are they keeping all the dancability that they said was still going to be in the album? Somewhere in the not-alternate versions, I'm hoping.

RyanRoss, your stupid, lovable face!
How is he real? Kerrang decided that he does not come from the real world. I possibly concur.

"See," he says, "people think that [success] must totally change you as a person, but it doesn't really. I still do the things I did before. I still have to pay rent, I still have to pay the bi..."

It's halfway through the world 'bills' that he stops dead, as if someone has pressed the pause button. His eyes are now less platinum discs and more rivulets of shame. To his left, Brendon Urie, the band's heart-throb of a singer, throws out a quick whinny of laughter, like a horse. He's heard this story, knows that it's a good one.

"Alright," he says, "paying bills might be a bad example."

Why?

"Because I'm not very good at it."

I'm going to go back to laughing until I die now, kthnx.

More Ryan and Jon with NME.com, whut? I refuse to believe that they were doing anything other than toking up between takes. Jeez, I love them kind of a lot. ♥

Wow. Jon & Ryan and NME.com should not be left alone together. ...or, alternatively, always should. 60 second interview.

Seriously? Seriously? How so hilarious, Panic!?

I can't believe Jon fell off the couch from laughing too hard! And, fucking hell, Ryan's face! I do not miss expressionless Ryan, I much prefer when he is trying to keep a straight face and utterly fails because Jon is cracking the fuck up.

Pete posted what is kind of the most adorable q&a I've seen in a while:

question
how did patrick get the scar on his right eyebrow?
asked by overcast christian on January 25, 2008

answer
his halo fell down and bumped him in the head.
answered by peter on January 25, 2008

This reminds me of my theory that the real reason Patrick wears hats all the time is to hide his halo (you can't actually see it when you look straight on, but it's pretty easy to notice the glow out of the corner of your eye).

Pete picked this question to answer because he felt guilty for trying to barter his Patrick away for name-brand luggage, y/y?

That is all.

If Panic! really does name a song on the new album 'Folken' Around', I will laugh until I cry, for serious.

The best part is? I bet they really will leave it, because can you imagine them trying to have a discussion about what to change it to? They would all get completely distracted madly giggling about it and it will never get changed! I am so excited for their ridiculousness.

First off, I switched out my LJ header & moodtheme to be all Panic(!)-y, because they are a shiny place to be right now. Even if they are in some sort of existential quandary about their exclamation point. (I miss it! I want it back! Other superfluous punctuation just isn't the same! Possibly I will make up for their lack by adding too many exclamation points all over the place!!)

I'm stupidly excited that they are going to be headlining the Honda Civic Tour (even though it's pretty likely that the tour will HATE ME, ya know, like last year, and I'll have to drive for hours and hours to go see them), plus bonus Motion City Soundtrack, Hush Sound, and not-yet-named-third-opener which I refuse to believe is anyone other than The Cab.

Also, it really needs to be March 25th like, now, kthnx. I really want to hear the new album damnit. If it doesn't leak at least a week early, I might have to cry. Stupid adorable Panic! boys.

Bandom, you are shiny and I love you. Really.
In honor of this? Random fic recs!

1. A few weeks ago, I recced the best fic snippet ever. And then it turned into a whole fic, which is just as made of awesome in its entirety.

Change (In the House of Pete) (PG-15, FOB, Pete/Patrick, kid!fic, faerie!AU)

Pete's eyes widen. "Dude, of course not. I wouldn't steal a baby. I know you wouldn't be cool with that."

2. Panic, My Chem, and Pete and Patrick as Labrador puppies. Yes, just yes. So much yes.

Just Won't Do Without You (G, FOB/MCR/P!ATD, gen, puppy!AU)

"They don't matter," Brendon replies happily and matter-of-factly. "Who needs sleep when...you...can...tag!" He barks and jumps on Spencer, licking his face before bounding off across the room.

3. MCR and Harry Potter crossover ficlet. Gerard = ♥

a conversation about magic (PG, MCR/HarryPotter, gen, crossover)

"I can't believe they have flying broomsticks in London and nobody ever told me."

Americans, Harry thought, rolling his eyes.

4. Oregon Trail fic, My Chemical Romance style. So fucking precious. Set shortly after half the band got horrific food poisoning way back when last year.

Frank Has Died of Dysentery (PG, MCR, gen)

"And we lost Toro fording a river, but I'm getting pretty good at hunting, so I don't think Mikey and I will have to eat you."

5. Oregon Trail fic, Panic! style, with cameos from FOB, MCR, & TAI.

YOU HAVE DIED OF DYSENTERY (PG-13, P!ATD, mostly gen)

Brendon has found wild fruit!

This is very exciting for two reasons: one, Brendon has not seen any fresh food lately that was not previously bleeding, and two, it is really tasty.

Alright, I guess that's enough random for now.

There is a world of difference between vaguely hearing that Fall Out Boy is going to be on some random show on Cartoon Network... and seeing a commercial for the upcoming episode of Fried Dynamite right in the middle of watching Baby Looney Toons. Complete with Patrick playing... tiny bongos or something? I do not even know. Babysitting is bad for my sanity. Waaaaaaaay too much exposure to kid's tv.

Oh hey. Panic posted a rough clip from one of their new songs. I... I don't even know what to do with that, actually. My face looks like this. --> O.o;

March needs to get here faster so I can hear the whole album damnit.

On the bright side, Patrick on L&O tomorrow!

Best fic snippet ever, y/YYY ? ♥

...I'm not ignoring you guys, I'm just trying to fight through skip=100 so I can get back to the eighty bajillion things I need to get done before the familial seasonal celabrationing gets rolling. Tomorrow night. And I have to work tomorrow. It's very hard to crochet/sew/wrap gifts/bake when you are holding a 3-month-old and/or chasing a 3-year-old. Fail, world, fail.

In other news, I saw Sweeney Todd on friday and it was lovely. ♥ (Random Anthony Stewart Head, FTW!)
