The Hush Sound: Don’t Wake Me Up ft. Patrick Stump

Our friends in The Hush Sound are getting back together for two shows next month in Chicago so we decided they’d be a great choice for our Sunday Night Music Club. Here’s the song ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ featuring guest vocals by Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy from the band’s second album Like Vines - released by Fueled By Ramen and Decaydance in 2006.

I looked in the dark
The room calm and cold
And quiet hollow
I am such a haunted soul
Your ghost has gone to bed
It’s all cold

Look for The Hush Sound at Chicago’s Bottom Lounge on February 3rd and 4th. Click HERE for tickets!

What’s that?  You want to see more footage of my blue and silver sparkly guitar?  Ok here’s another live acoustic video from the Draw Us Lines echo chamber session.  This one is of Boom Boom.  My 15-year-old self would be so proud of that little guitar!

There seems to be an inordinate number of movies about mankind going to war with machines. That plot device always struck me as something of a cheap shot; as far as I can tell, machines have been nothing but completely civil to us.

Maybe this was just life? One orphaning after the next. They should tell you when you’re born: have a suitcase heart, be ready to travel.

Love stories are written in millimeters and milliseconds with a fast, dull pencil whose marks you can barely see. They are written in miles and eons with a chisel on the side of a mountaintop.

a tearjerker: the aforementioned love is a mix tape by rob sheffield. his dark materials by philip pullman (i cried for two solid weeks after i read it in high school, and apologized to the buffy/angel shippers i used to mock incessantly). the book thief by markus zusack. the fault in our stars by john green. the black jewels trilogy by anne bishop (there is just this one scene in the third one that kills me EVERY TIME). harry potter and the deathly hallows by jk rowling. and both goddamn gentleman bastard books by scott lynch still make me cry after several rereads.

a book that i know is bad but that i can’t help but love: i still read and love the terrible books i read and loved when i was 14, and an alarming number of them are becoming shows on the cw. the vampire diaries (the fight scene in book 4 is one of my favorite fight scenes of all time), secret circle, the night world series, everything by christopher pike, etc. it’s partly sentimental value and partly that they’re just fun and amazing and idgaf. (having no shame is AWESOME.)

favorite children’s book: my favorite kidlit is either the collected works of hans christian anderson or there’s a monster at the end of this book (featuring grover, the only muppet (is grover a muppet?) i will even tolerate). i’m a sucker for the classics! favorite middlegrade is wildwood by colin meloy, which i’m confident will someday be a classic.

favorite love story: my favorite book that is first and foremost a love story is love is a mix tape by rob sheffield. i don’t read a lot of books that are first and foremost love stories, but if more of them were like this i would consider it. my favorite love story within a book is the whole alanna/george arc in the lioness quartet by tamora pierce. they are my OTPest OTP <3

a book i’m looking forward to: so many! the republic of thieves by scott lynch, obvs. you take it from here by pamela ribon. black heart by holly black. timeless by gail carriger. and it hasn’t happened yet, but someday someone will write a book about either wizard rock as a music scene OR how women (as fans) have shaped music scenes over the years (preferably with a focus on FBR/fall out boy) and i will read the shit out of it.

a book rec: i still think everyone should read the lies of locke lamora by scott lynch (foul-mouthed thieves! bad-ass ladies! SHARK-FIGHTING!), but i also think you personally might enjoy either why girls are weird or going in circles by pamela ribon or anything by holly black.

a book from my favorite author that i didn’t like: so, i still consider christopher pike to be my favorite author, mostly because i am a crazy person. and i really didn’t like the first new last vampire book. really really really didn’t like it. but i bought the sequel anyway, because christopher pike is still my favorite author and also because i am a crazy person. (i haven’t read it yet, but i’m sure it’s terrible.)

a book i wish i’d never read: hm. my only book-regret is probably giving the anita blake: vampire hunter series one more chance after anita (apparently, as i skipped the book it happens in) fucks a leopard. and yet sometimes i still catch myself thinking about checking out the new one…
