Why, God, WHY?

[rosiedoes]

its been a bit. my apologies. we have been in indonesia and the phillipines. internet was not as readily available. we have been everywhere in the world this year- ruining peoples fun everywhere. its strange to sit back and think about sometimes- cos we are just some crappy dudes from the midwest... we arent some put together boyband. its kind of insane when you thnk about it. thank you for the adventure.

in all honesty we cant wait to get back to the states and play some shows. the one we have ready for YWT is gonna be crazy, got some ideas we have never messed with before. and i know i am always saying on here that we have some crazy suprise planned but then i dont tell the suprise- so here's one: we are going to play a couple of secret shows on the tour- duh whats new- but we are going to be playing only take this to your grave songs at these shows. keep your ears to the ground, we are going to keep these very secret.

in addition, were opening the first clandestine store in chicago. being the hometown, i want this to be a place people can hang out before shows or before you go and buy s&m goth gear over at the alley or whatever- so weve got some old video arcade games and other cool stuff to do while your girlfriend's friend's little sister tries on clothes. we are gonna have a couple of items that will only be available in the store- but if you have any ideas let us know.... also, let us know if there are any songs you really wanna hear us play on the YWT.

patrick and i will be doing in store signings for fender at guitar stores in california and chicago on the tour- october 9 at sam ash on sunset blvd. in hollywood, oct. 21 at sam ash in buffalo grove, il. more info on that soon.

weve been writing songs like crazy. contrary to the heavy blogging- the new record is not gonna be a folk record. its gonna be raprock.

blah.



take care of your fingers. give em a rest from the keyboard now and again.

Who the fuck are they going to get to rap for them? SRSLY?

You can't tour an album full of guest appearances.

I'm going to believe this is Pete being a dick for now.

timbaland disproved that first point.

kanye would do it, rihanna, travie...i get this feeling they could rope in jay-z and diddy if they wanted to.

then again, they are an infrastructured band.

oh, oh, hysterical laughter won out: Joe rapping "The Pot Rock"?

COME ON I LOVE IT NOW.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Er, no.

[neurotica-hello.livejournal.com]

well, okay, fine, i understand your consternation but i highly doubt they'd ever spring from such a comfort zone into this way out there genre.

idk, i'm having fun with it, although i can tell now my sense of humor is a little off-kilter, haha.

i don't think they're above having cameos by them, as in the people i mentioned above, in some of the album.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

None of those acts would be prepared to join a tour to do one song.

[neurotica-hello.livejournal.com]

thus, the some cameos.

like i said, i'm not really expecting it to go through, but i can completely see them having at least kanye or travis doing a song on the album.

let's say we agree it is a bad idea either way and fall out boy would be better off singing the way they've been singing, albeit pete learning to play a little better would be a welcome change.

that good?

Um. Dirty did the SOAP rap at a few shows :/

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Dirty has quit.

[babygotbass.livejournal.com]

I know - but they might try and tempt him back with a rapping gig. ACK!
