i just went to the store and bought the new ap because afi's on the cover... the article on them is really long, but it's pretty good...they have a different section on each member, and they talk about more personal things then they have in the past... but anyway... and kelli you have to see them live because they're amazing...

yeah, I definitely forgot to subscribe in time to get that, but now that I've seen the other cover, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.... so anyway, I was lame, and got to the store right when it opened this morning, and I got Adam, but then I went with my friend later when he bought his, and he got Hunter, so I switched with him And you got a free poster w/ it, which I believe is the one they were handing out at the listening parties -it's black and white and then has the 6/6/06 thing, it's pretty nice... I'm excited ;D

haha. make up your mind IRENE sheesh. lol. kidding dear. i need to buy it and get jade then between us and ali's friend we can have the whole set...though i bet since jade is the hawtsexXcore one lyke OmGzZ of the band they probably purposely put very few of them, just so everyone could freak about not getting JADE.

Yes, now that I actually know what the lyrics are, I love them x a billion Yeah, you need to get Jade, Kelli... I don't know why, but I really wanted Hunter, so I forced Roberto to give his cover to me; he was kind of reluctant because for some reason he doesn't like Adam, but it all worked out.

yeah, some of it is Cure-like, but 37mm really reminds me of Depeche Mode.

yeah, some of it is Cure-like, but 37mm really reminds me of Depeche Mode. OMG. i was going to say the exact same thing...i was just about to write..er..type up like some stuff about the songs...and that was one thing i was going to say! WE ARE TWINS....there is also a tiny electronic part (i think it's in 37mm) that reminds me of part of a marilyn manson song. *shrugs* In The Killing Light the "cut cut cut cut" sounds like MAT. seriously...go listen again..it's all airy and stuff....and i LOVE that song. I really like Love Like Winter...i don't know why but i really really do. it's really different sorta, from the afi kind of sound...yet the same, i don't know...i just really love it. it makes me wanna dance...in da clubbbbb...like it should be spun next to kill hannah and the faint songs.... Prelude 12/21 is pretty much amazing... ...i think it makes me want to play basketball...haha. that background reminds me of some basketball theme song or something haha. i like summer shudder a lot too...the only song i'm not completely into is "the interview"... aflfliction sounds like it could belong on an older afi album...to me it sounds the most like older afi than anything else....and Kill Caustic is kinda old afi-ish. I'm pretty much obsessed w/ the album now (i didn't listen to it much before because i didn't want to till it came out HAHA)....it's really different from afi stuff of old...but yet, it's so very afi-ish...but i love it. really. really.really. OH and in the new rolling stone..there is an interview w/ davey and there is a big review of the album ... and in it the guy compares the old and new afi by writing... "It was practically impossible to tell this was the same group that recorded "I wanna get a mohawk (But mom won't let me)" eight years earlier; this was more a band that should be singing "I wanna get a manicure (but my fans think it's gay)" " HAHAHAHAHA that cracked me up when i read it. hehehehe. WOW that was fucking long...congrats if you actually read all that bullshit.

haha yeahh.. I really love this album too. Prelude 12/21 is no short of amazing -- I fell in love with it the 1st time I heard it. I just wish it was longer, but alas, it's a prelude. lol Also I really love Summer Shudder -Probably has a lot to do with it being summer n all..
Anyhow.. I love how AFI evovles with each album, yet they do it so well.

I love how AFI evovles with each album, yet they do it so well.yes, they do it seemingly without effort and make it work so well.

YAY! We are totally twins because The Interview is the only song that I'm not completely into, also! I like it, but it doesn't seem to fit, I'm not really sure how to explain it.... but at the end of that song during the "i'll flee to decemberunderground" part, is that Davey singing both parts, because it sounds like someone else is singing w/ him...idk. But, I absolutely love the new album. It's so different, in a good way. Now that you mention it, the cut cut cut part on The Killing Lights does sound kind of like Mat! It would be unbelievably cool if Mat and Davey did a song together, I think I would die from happiness.lol. that made me laugh uncontrollably, i'm not really sure why I didn't really like the review in Rollingstone because it seemed like they talked a lot more about STS than decemberunderground, it was like the new album was just an afterthought of his huge rant about AFI's "growing pains"... Did anyone else watch the AFI makes a video thing? It's pretty much all Smith, so it's really funny...I liked when he dressed up in Miss Murder's outfit and then interviewed her while she was getting her makeup done And their performance at the movie awards was very nice too, except for that Jessica Simpson introduced them...that made me mad.

i'm too lazy to do a formal quote of your entry but... !!!!!!! TWINSIES!!!!!!!!!! hehe. seriously dudes, about the basketball thing...i think the prelude reminds me of the NBA theme, like the fort minor shit, only like four hundred bajillion times better. but woot for making you laugh and yeah i didn't like the review from rolling stone much, but i think the "i wanna get a manicure...." thing is brilliant. lol. my mommy is getting the satellite back on tonight when she gets home !! so hopefully i'll get to see the reruns of the making of and the movie awards.... jade has some smith video he took in paris on his blog. i am on dial up there for can't stream things, so i haven't seen it but it's probably funny. On topic of afi, but off topic of current afi...um yeah...Now The World is one of my favorites. i just found a while ago, the cd i had burned w/ that on it and i uploaded it onto my current computer...YAY. happy kelli.
