So I think a ridiculous amount about unusual things at times.
Earlier, I was listening to A Day To Remember and reading Owl City's blog when I remembered my favorite entry Adam Young has ever written. (http://owlcityblog.com/2010/09/06/you-had-me-at-hello/) It was all about these two people with different lives who met up randomly one night by chance when they both couldn't slee and drove until they found somewhere to stop. In the end they fell in love.
I know thats just a story, but that and an A Day To Remember quote, "I'd sworn I'd never trust again but I didn't have to, you had me at hello." caused me to think an immense amount.
Do people actually feel a major connection from the minute they say "Hello" ?
Is it possible to meet trust someone the minute you meet them?
Maybe I'm crazy, but I figure you should get to know a person before you fall madly in love with them or trust them with every detail of your life.
But then again, in my opinion, songs are like modern fairytales in some sense. Many tell the tales of the unattainable things society wants, For example a happy ending.
I guess thats not completely unattainable though, it just seems a little unlikely to me, but at 15 what do I know?Who knows maybe somewhere at this very moment people are proving me wrong.
Maybe two strangers just met and fell in love.
Who knows.
Anyhow
Here's to the unlikely!

Atreyu on hiatus?!
So Atreyu has announced that they are taking a long break.
This was announced via twitter, and the post was as follows:
"Hey all. You have asked, so here goes. Atreyu is taking a long, long break after 11 years of rocking. We aren't breaking up but we aren't writing recording or touring for a while. Simply taking a break to recharge and focus on different parts of our lives. Much love. All of us have other projects we are excited about and urge you to check them out if you miss us too much. Thanks to everyone who has supported us and given us a reason to exist over the past 11yrs. We hope to see you again 1 day. Until next time..."
I really hope that this break will end and they will continue with music making.
I love Atreyu.
The earlier stuff was the undoubtedly the best though.

Alien Abductions
This is and isn't music related at the same time.
Adam Young aka Owl City always makes me happy.
He writes what I think are positively the best blogs ever.
I recently read on he had written entitled "How To Get Abducted By Aliens.
I must say it made my day.
Although from it I learned that I'll never be abducted by aliens because I injure myself far too often to be of interest to them.
Anyhow you can read the whole article here:http://owlcityblog.com/2010/11/29/how-to-get-abducted-by-aliens/#more-3342

Austin Carlile returns to of Mice & Men
Of Mice & Men announced vocalist Austin Carlile will be returning.
As well as they are adding a new guitarist Alan Ashby.
The bands statement was as follows:
"So an entire year of touring on our debut album has come to an end and the approaching date of entering the studio to make our next album has come closer and closer, it’s become time for us to decide the kind of album we want to make, for us, as well as for all of you!
With having recently made amends with our original vocalist, Austin Carlile, and not after discussing all of our previous disputes and issues we’ve had with each other (like any other relationship, its not always a friendly exchange of happy words) we’ve collectively decided to return to, or as close to, our original lineup as we could.
Now, we knew this was going to be a huge surprise to everyone and an unexpected turn of events for Of Mice & Men. We had to take into account the response our fans had to our necessity to change screamers in order to continue touring as well as what we felt comfortable with as a group in and out of the studio as well as what our management/label/booking agency team (yes we include them in almost any decision we make, we are a close family, a relationship we are extremely grateful for) felt was a good decision to make for the business aspect while taking into account our personal well being.
To be put simply, both OM&M and Austin want to make another album together because we want give our fans the familiar sound they loved about our first album and build upon that for our follow up. We were willing to put our differences aside and re-establish our friendship and love for making music together. We also want to give you all the chance to hear our first album the way it was intended to be heard since due to prior circumstances…well, that’s all in the past now!
We greatly appreciate all of our fans sticking with us in 2010 and supporting the band with Jerry. We are also very grateful that he stepped up to the plate for us and helped us get through the relentless touring schedule we had. With that being said, we are all extremely excited to be reunited and are going to make another album we are proud of, just like the first and we hope you are too! There’s no behind the scenes anything, no huge fall out or disrespect towards anyone, contrary to what you may think or have read/heard. We just want to make the best album we possibly can and we are confident that together, with the reformed lineup, we will be able to make something amazing.
We have also added a new member, Alan Ashby, who will be playing guitar. Assuming the position of bass will be Shayley which as many of you saw on a couple Warped Tour dates was an easy transition for him. He will, of course, still be singing. Tino is on drums, Phil is on guitar and Austin is screaming. A freshly reformed OM&M for 2011."

Paramore Live Chat
I'm watching the Paramore live interview with MTV currently.
So we've seen the blog posted by Zac & Josh Farro.
Now we get to hear from Hayley and the rest of the band.
Clearly music is important to her,
But I myself am really unsure on if she's into the idea of a band or not.
Yeah she says she is
But it does seem like lately it is a lot about her.
In some ways I can understand it with her being a female vocalist within the genre.
But there are other bands with females leads.
I find the whole religion issue, umm well, pointless in my opinion.
It seems as of late many bands are losing members to religion.
You can still be religious and do music.
So I guess I'm not really taking sides on this.
Because I like the band and after reading and listening to both sides I see that there are some faults of all of them.
I think it's great that the rest of the band is going to go on though.
Anyone else have opinions on this?

"And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic."
I'm a sucker for acoustic.
So I thought that lyric fit the title appropriately seeing how once again Twitter has led me to more great music.
This time it's acoustic, in case you didn't already figure that out.
