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.
Amanda Palmer was on tour (in the Dresden Dolls) with Panic! at the Disco, so she is bandom adjacent.
Ah, part of a world of which I'm not hip enough to know anything about.
They were indeed, discovered by Fall Out Boy. They are currently working on their third album, but the band is down to two people Brendon Urie (vocals, guitar, piano, everything) and Spencer Smith (drums. The other two members Ryan Ross (lyrics, guitar, founder) and Jon Walker (bass) have formed another band called The Young Veins.
They abandoned the long titles for their second album, which has a Beatles-esque vibe. The third album sounds like it will be more poppy, while the Young Veins sound like a 60's band post Beatles.
Spencer Smith and Ryan Ross were childhood BFF's. Ryan had an alcoholic father and a lot of girlfriends cheat on him, which is why he wrote songds like "Lying is the Most Fun...". Then he fell in love and his songs were all happy. Then he cheated on her and they broke up. Brendon was/is Mormon. He has an adorable happy face and is a really good muscician. Jon Walker is a replacement from Chicago and likes cats. Spencer is, well, Spencer. He has pretty blue eyes.
ETA, Spencer is also an awesome drummer who looks like drummers is, like effortless.
I like their "Nine in the Afternoon" song.
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...
I think that's a insulting to the voters as well.
IMO, Brown's success is a combination of a bad economy, a healthcare bill that's unpopular with progressives and an uninspiring dem candidate.
OK, my bank just sent me an invitation to do a consumer feedback survey. I think someone needs to check their dictionary:

You know, I really think they don't want me to help them create actionable anything.
Oh, and P-C, you should watch Nine in the Afternoon if you are only familiar with the early version of PatD- it is really a delightful video. There is a dessert paradise.

Why not go with '...help us serve you better' it's like someone Google translated the sentence from english to corporate-speak.
OMG, there is a pacifier toy in with the Shiba Inus and it is almost as big as the puppies!!!

Not just uninspiring, but one who took her win for granted. According to DailyKos, Brown has had 66 appearances since the primary until this past Sunday versus her 19.
