Fangirl Friday: Waterparks

This is the first Fangirl Friday and I am so excited. This "series" will not be every week, just when I'm super obsessed with something or someone.
Three weeks ago today, I discovered this band called Waterparks AND I AM IN LOVE! With their music. I have been listening to their music almost non-stop and I really do love their music. They became one of my favorite bands very quickly.

Also, I have a platonic crush on all three of them. @ Waterparks if you ever see this be my friend. You guys seem like a squad I'd like to be friends with.

I have a few pics for this post in case I can't insert their music videos.

So Waterparks is made up of three members:
Awsten Knight - Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar
Geoff Wigington - Lead Guitar
Otto Wood - Drums
LtR: Awsten Knight, Otto Wood, Geoff Wigington
They only really have 2 studio albums but they have some EPs and I would suggest putting their Spotify on shuffle because that's what I've been doing. I'm listening to Entertainment all the way through right now as I write this blog post actually.

Discography:
 EPs:
Airplane Conversations (2012)
Blacklight (2014)
Cluster (2016)
Studio Albums:
Double Dare (2016)
Entertainment (2018)

So let's talk about how I was blessed 3 weeks ago. Awsten Knight, the lead singer, did a video with one of my favorite YouTubers, CrankthatFrank on July 6th. I put off watching the video for almost a month because I didn't know who Awsten was and it wasn't the content I was looking for until the day I finally watched it.
CrankthatFrank and Awten
It wouldn't let me insert their video, but I linked it in the photo's caption. It was hilarious. As soon as they were talking about Awsten's band, I went to his Instagram to check them out. Mostly because I had a crush on Awsten for a hot minute, but also because I trust Frank's music taste more than my own brother's so I figured they had to be good. Also, Awsten has a new hair dye out. Go buy it. You can get Knight Bright Purple at Hot Topic! It's linked!

The first song I heard and the first video I watched was "We Need to Talk" which I can't insert but it's linked in the song's title. And that song made me REALLY like them. I've been wanting to get into more music and specifically anything under the rock umbrella is fair game. I am a smol emo adult.

I found their Spotify page and put them on shuffle and as soon as I have money, you bet I'm buying all their music so I can listen to them when I don't have internet. It happens.
I, being the fangirl I am, then watched a TON of interviews and that's where the platonic crush came in. The three of them are dorks. I like a good band of dorks. Some of the best bands are. And Waterparks is no exception. I mean they call themselves "God's favorite boyband" and they played a boyband in one of their music videos.

I have listened to them so much I can confidently say Entertainment is my favorite album. It's beat Straight Outta Oz (sorry Todrick).
Hands down, without overthinking it, my favorite song is "Lucky People".  I was able to insert it so check it out. The song is adorable and I LOVE the music video. I really post it on Facebook every single day and it beats out "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers as my favorite song.

I am a single Pringle who is a sucker for romance. Honestly, the ONLY thing keeping Waterparks from being my favorite band is my favorite band is Panic! at the Disco and they have helped me through hell. However, Waterparks is definitely my second favorite band right now. And I can't wait to see what the future holds for this band.
I don't have a least favorite song, I think all of their songs are well done. Hence why they became my second favorite band quick.

I rate Waterparks a 20/10 would recommend.

I really do love this band and I love their music and this is a band I will continue to support until I don't know. Probably until they stop making music.

It took everything in me to not gush about this band because I got into them in a time that I REALLY needed a pick me up and a distraction for life and they've helped a lot.

So if you guys ever check out this blog first off thanks welcome to my blog. Hi. Secondly, thank you for your music and keep up the good work!
Hopefully, I'll be able to see them, but due to unfortunate financial circumstances, it'll be a while before I ever get to see them live. But for now, I will buy their music and retweet them on my twitter. It's @McCarthaEvita by the way. Follow me if you want. I am active now!

And please check out Waterparks. Their music is so good. Support them. Love them. Cherish them. They deserve it.

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'...

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...
