My Reaction to Machine Gun Kelly's "concert for aliens"

Wow. A two posts in one day? Well its been an eventful Wednesday.

I got into Machine Gun Kelly last year after watching The Dirt and listening to his last album, Hotel Diablo - which I named best album of 2019 and I stand by that.

When he said he was going to do a pop-punk album I was excited. I had hope in him before he even started releasing new music. His cover of Paramore's "Misery Business" with Travis Barker blew me away and I set my standards higher for the album. He has yet to disappoint with every song he's released since.

Today, he released the music video for "concert for aliens" and let me just say ITS GREAT! The video is funny and I love how the lyrics moved. I loved the animation. It enters my top favorite lyric videos.

Let's talk about this song. I am grateful for MGK because recent years has showed that pop-punk bands have focused more on poppy sounds and songs. He is putting the punk back into pop-punk with this album.

Pop-punk is a genre I heavily associate with middle school and high school and this song reminds me why I fell in love with the genre in the first place.

Shout out to him and Travis Barker - who he is working with - and anyone else who worked on this song. This is about to be my most played song of 2020.

Thanks MGK. Well fucking done. I don't like dropping the f-bomb on my blog but you deserve this one. WELL FUCKING DONE, SIR!

Also let's please appreciate the cover art for this single.

I'm blown away.

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...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

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...
