Casual Screaming About Fall Out Boy

This is a post way overdue. Of all the new albums of 2018, MANIA, is my most played album and I will 100% be writing a "Kinda Review" about it.

Today, I'm writing about Fall Out Boy because I have loved them since middle school. I got into them after I got into MCR. I will explain that because it's a funny story that pretty much encompasses 12 year old me PERFECTLY.

Let's start with the basics as I do with every post about a band.

I didn't include the remix/compilation/mixtape albums. But you can find that all with a quick Google search.
As I am writing this, I am saving more photos of this band than I will use in this post because I have no self-control. I'm also jamming to MANIA because I love this album more than I will probably ever love my children if I have children.

I feel like I've always known of Fall Out Boy. "Sugar We're Going Down" or "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" was the first song I heard by them where I knew what to call the band. I don't remember which, but it was one of them. Let me tell you, besides of course loving their music there is another reason I became a fan.

I watched the "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" video and IMMEDIATELY crushed on Pete. Was it the guyliner or was it that he kind of reminded me of Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance, who I was obsessed with at the time? Who knows? I was maybe eleven or twelve and I had a weird taste in men back then. No joke every guy I seriously crushed on in middle school reminded me of Frank Iero in some way. I am now realizing that as an adult. I could make you a list.

So you can say Pete is the one who attracted me to the band and Patrick's vocals is what has kept me here. Boy, can that man sing. I want a sing-off between Patrick and Brendon Urie. I know I'm not the only one.
I don't have as much to say about Fall Out Boy as I did for Panic! at the Disco because even though I have always loved their music, I never seriously obsessed over them. Well until MANIA came out and I have been harassing everyone in my life to listen to it.

It's funny, though because recently, I have been listening to Folie à Deux a lot. I made my dad listen to "20 Dollar Nose Bleed" a few times when he lets me have the aux cord in his car.

I've been thinking about what's my favorite Fall Out Boy song, as I've been writing this and I don't know because it's between three songs.

Favorite Song: "Church", "20 Dollar Nose Bleed", "I Don't Care"
Least Favorite Song: I don't have one.
Rate out of 10: 11/10 would recommend

I can 100% blame my pre-MANIA hype on CrankThatFrank because he went hard on his channel. But when the album came out, it met that hype.
Go listen to MANIA if you have not. If you have never heard Fall Out Boy, which I doubt, go check them out!

I have some more "Casual Screaming" and "Fangirl Friday" posts about more bands and artists. There are also some "Kinda Reviews" in the works.

Also some posts about some shows I love. Mosts post take at least 45 minutes to write and I'm trying to backlog them so I can at least post every day in November.

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...
