Seriouseats greats you with "Hello Eater" at the bottom of the page which perplexed me for a little. Couldn't work out how they knew my name and why they'd misspell it.

Better now.

Also, Amanda Palmer was on tour (in the Dresden Dolls) with Panic! at the Disco, so she is bandom adjacent.

This just reeks of privilege:

WHAT AN AMERICAN 'LOOKS LIKE'?.... Five wealthy white people sat around a table on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" earlier, and talked a bit about ethnic politics and the Senate race in Massachusetts. It was a rather discouraging display.

Donny Deutsch got the ball rolling, suggesting that voters may be "going back to basics" after electing an African-American president and seeing "the female candidates and whatnot." Scott Brown, Deutsch added, "looks like the traditional view of a candidate," which may bring a "visceral comfort" to voters...

The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan added that Brown is "a regular guy" who "looks like an American."

None of all-white participants in this discussion explained exactly what "an American" actually "looks like," but apparently it has something to do with being white, male, and handsome. Sorry, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, I guess you don't meet the criteria for looking American.

What is Panic! at the Disco? I keep seeing ficcy mentions of it, but I have no idea what it actually is, other than some source for bandfic.

Whyinhell is search not working for me? I know I have text files where this word exists, but search turns up naught. And it's not like I can install search tools on this system.

What is Panic! at the Disco?

They are a band with such hits as "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off," "The Only Difference Between Suicide and Martyrdom Is Press Coverage," and other long-winded song titles. I think they were discovered by Fall Out Boy?

Before you leave!!! I am all shy, which is why I am not good at suggesting meet-ups.

That's especially ridiculous when everyone on the ballot is white and upper-class. Sure, he looks like "a politician," but that's exactly what's wrong with this country!! Grrr. I think I'm going to go vote now.

Panic! at the Disco is indeed a bandomy band, and they were discovered by Pete Wentz, and they're in their second incarnation now. The lead singer, who stayed, is fabulously musically talented (voice, plays a million instruments, huge music geek), as is the drummer. Their second album was sort of a Beach Boys/Beatlesesque homage, with lots of gorgeous melodies and stuff.

Also, P-C, they didn't use the long-winded titles on the second album, and don't appear to be using them on the third, either.

Ah, part of a world of which I'm not hip enough to know anything about.
