did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?

Many thanks to the person who captured this streaming file and shared it :D

+ Panic At The Disco - Live at Hove Festival Norway, 24th June 08 - 339 meg
Please don't link to my files or journal on communities, message boards, forums etc, thank you. I'd appreciate if you comment when you download, helps me keep track of things.

Haven't watched it yet, but it sounds packed full o' goodness! Panic come on about 8 minutes into the file, it's about a 60-70 minute set, and at the end, there's the beginning of an interview with Brendon and Ryan. The full version of that is here, and is interesting, as the interviewer asks them about religion (and specifically, asks Brendon about being raised a Mormon and leaving the church).

I finally got a reply from them about my new order that hadn't got processed - somehow, a payment method wasn't selected (I'm pretty sure that I filled everything in, but ok). They told me:

If you'd still like the order, you can log in to your webstore account and resubmit a new payment.

Um, how? I can see how to update payment details, but not how to select a payment method for a specific order. I've emailed them back, but that'll probably take another week. Half the stuff I was ordering was on sale, it's probably fucking sold out now :( I'd cancel the order, but there's no easy way to do that online, and I still really want the Cobra hoodie.

Also, how come I can get shirts from Threadless in a week (yay!) but it's gonna take them forever to get the Panic boxset to me? I guess I may as well ask why not everyone in the US has got their order yet. Fuckers.

Yay, didn't need to wait til after uni tonight to find out, there was an email from Frontier Touring (embedded music at linked page) when I woke up, announcing the tour.

And the support act - The Academy Is...! I'm so happy (apart from the awkwardness of role reversal). Wonder if they'll be missing the last show(s) on Warped, since it doesn't end til the 17th?

Wed 20th August - Brisbane Entertainment Center
Friday 22nd August - Acer Arena Sydney
Saturday 23rd August - Rod Laver Arena
Monday 25th August - Adelaide Entertainment Center
Wednesday 27th August - Burswood Dome Perth
Saturday 30th August - Vector Arena Auckland

Prices are tending to be about $76 for GA and reserved seating, and $88 for "Panic Pit" (which I cannot find an explanation for - anyone? I'm guessing they mean front section of floor, at venues which can be split, and the whole floor at other venues). Pity the Sydney venue is Acer and not Ent Centre.

So, Sydney and Melbourne, yes! I'm not sure about any other shows, my work situation then is completely unknown. Adelaide is tempting, but I'd have to have Monday and Tuesday off. Maybe Brisbane, I could fly up late Wed afternoon and come back first thing in the morning, if I do have a new job and getting time off is tricky.

Presale through Frontier Touring - Thursday 10th April midday (fuck, I have a tutorial then)
Presale through Visa Entertainment - Monday 7th April 9am

Please take note the following ticket limits apply:
Panic Pit - 2 per person
General Admission - 4 per person
Reserved Seating - 6 per person

please don't link to the files, or link to my journal in communities/message boards. please comment if you download, I appreciate it and it helps me know what interest there is for footage.

The boys look good, and are kind of giggly and flirty.

Fantastic behind-the-scenes of Warped 05 (including blink-and-you'll-miss-them cameos by some of FOB). So many great moments, it's some of my favourite MCR footage.

I'm picky about covers of Queen, but I enjoy this one. The live performance is all kinds of wonderful - including watching Bert and Gerard together (and mournfully saying DOOOOOMED periodically, as one does when seeing pictures or footage from this era) but Mikeyway rocking the fuck out on THE TAMBOURINE is one of my favourite things ever.

late 2004/early 2005? Interviews, photoshoot, tiny instore performance - much much goodness. Including tales of Pete and his brother jumping off the roof (not too long before this was filmed) and their mum's reaction. Pete's tiara is modelled, and his unfortunate bout of leprosy explained.

Patrick wears a pith helmet. Pete demolishes a fence with a golfcart. Andy throws a hissy fit at wardrobe. Good times.

Interview in Mall of America. Andy is a pussy about feeding sharks. They lose Patrick. They need a block to stand on to be regular height. Possibly Joe is actually the furry of the group.

So much good stuff, from last year. Including debating the ethics of downloading your own leaked album. Pete v Charlie over whether something is vegan or not. Clearly that's Hemingway's stunt double (or Patrick's) since you see them together. Discussion about the fake stuff for Pete's Cribs episode. Patrick warming up before the show = some of my favourite footage :)

It appears that my Panic deluxe edition has shipped from FBR (was I supposed to get an email notification?), yay! But the tracking number doesn't work yet, I want to be able to track it's movements obsessively.

Why hasn't a release date been announced for MCR's dvd? I covet it ::grabby hands::

I deleted a comment to my SOMH (Melbourne) video on youtube from bambistarlight. If you're reading this, sorry, but didn't want people to come looking for my lj. Sure, the usernames are the same, I'm not exactly hiding, but it just made me uncomfortable.

The Waratahs somehow managed to beat the Brumbies last night. I was at the game, and I'm still not sure how. Fortunately our seats are undercover, because it was raining for a lot of the game, including ABSOLUTELY POURING during the last part.

From the random fact generator: One time, at band camp, Spencer ate a percussionist.

Happy Birthday not_nele and sinden! Hope you both had have a good day tomorrow :)

Some more stuff that I remembered about Jensen at the GNW filming (I've edited into main post, but in case you don't want to plow through again):

( unlikely to be in GNW, but cut in case )

> Cute Panic interview from pre-Grammys stuff - no one else had candy for them! Brendon sharing a seat with Jon! Them not knowing if tickets are on-sale (clearly the HCT ticketing has baffled them too)!

Nick doesn't say a lot, but is having a fun time, sings a little and looks GREAT.

I'm seriously thinking about buying the deluxe edition of Pretty. Odd. Someone come and talk me out of it. Though since the FBR store won't let me access the deluxe edition, I may be saved already. Nope, seems they do want me to take my money. ARGH, decisions. ETA: store still dead. LET ME MAKE AN IMPULSE BUY!

Speaking of Panic, I'm hoping that y'all have as non-stressful and successful ticket-buying experiences as possible. Abusing alcohol will not help - it'll just slow you down when you're trying to buy.

My exam this morning went...adequately. I'll be surprised if I fail, will be surprised if I do better than a pass.

Excuse me while I go listen to Nine in the Afternoon again. And again.

I had a revelation at work today, connecting Panic dropping the ! to Nsync changing from * to ' (eta: hah, apparently it was the other way around). Then I realised that even after all these years, I can't remember whether the official spelling was 'Nsync or 'N Sync or N'sync or whatever.

Yeah, it was a slow day. And I didn't say it was a good revelation. Stay tuned for my pictorial comparison essay: Who Has Had The Worst Hair?

Dear turps33, I don't want to distract you from My Chem, but after admitting weakness here, you just know I have to post something! That being, a score of Panic pictures :)

Exams are over, woot \o_ (can't manage a two arm salute, things aren't that exciting).

Heroes watched - want more of the song, dammit!!!

Watching new House on tv before having time to download, bizarre...
