WOO COBRA. Are you going into the pit? Because then I would go with Item B.

Actually, I would go with Item B anyway on a purely aesthetic level, but at concerts, white + sweat = involuntary wet T-shirt contest, in my experience.

I don't own either yet! I'm trying to decide which one to buy.

The awesome, awesome, absolutely awesome thing about the Cobra Shows is that no one knows who they are here, and they're co-headlining with All Time Low who are also relatively unknown, so the shows aren't at all sold out and they're in tiny tiny venues. Like 200, 300 kids on the outside. No crushing, no elbows, no pit, no idiocy. Well. There will probably be idiocy. But I can totally deal with things more in small venues. I will be able to talk to them. Like real people and not objects for photography. It's going to be awesome.

Oh, that is awesome! I still like Item B best, but I have a Thing for chicks with guitars, and I've been told that I own too many shirts with skulls on and that I'm intimidating enough without them.

(Oh! You know what you should do? Ask Ryland if he a) hates Guy Ripley because he's never seen in the same place as him, or b) if they're secretly having a torrid affair and overcompensating by never being seen together.)

I'm betting b!

Definitely B.

but I have a Thing for chicks with guitars

I know, right? I think I actually like the design on the other one more, but I keep getting waylad by Chick With Guitar.

Also, ha! Maybe with a couple pints in me I'll ask. ::grin::

It took me so long to catch up I forgot what I wanted to say except that my favorite "fighting" song is "Come Out Ye Black and Tans" by The Fenians but that a lot of bands (including The Wolfe Tones and The Pogues) do a good version.

edit to say it wasn't written by The Fenians I just like their version. It dates back to the 1920s iirc

I remembered another thing: Somebody said they didn't really care for Fall Out Boy with the exception of "Sugar We're Going Down" and the other FOB tracks given as examples were (I think) all older songs. I wanted to say that "Sugar..." is from the album "From Under the Cork Tree" which I bought without knowing anything about FOB except that I couldn't get "Sugar..." out of my head and I was afraid that would be the only song on the disc I liked. Boy was I wrong. I still haven't checked out any of their older stuff but I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire FUCT record.

Somebody said they didn't really care for Fall Out Boy with the exception of "Sugar We're Going Down"

That was me, and, of the current FOB songs I've heard -- "Thx Fr Mmrs" (or however they spell that vowel-less title, which is LAME) and that heinous cover of "Beat It," which makes me want to retch -- I'm not feeling the love.

I think that "Sugar We're Going Down" is just an anomaly for me.

Oh, Tep! You didn't like "Bang the Doldrums"?! ::sobs::

The lyrics absolutely kill me, but the tune is hella catchy, too, with those drums. I'm thrilled you like "Sugar," though!
