My ears are still ringing and it's slightly irritating.

Because I wanna listen to music, but I am partially deaf.





Last night, I attended one of the best shows I have ever had the honor of attending. Period. We arrived at Starland Ballroom at around 5pm and we got in at 7pm. First band up was called The Champagne Charade which is like a sugary girl-screamo type of band, nothing too spectacular minus the girl's eel tights (even though she didn't pull it off too well). Next up was Warship and I honestly don't remember them playing, at all. I guess they're screamo or something. I just was too busy texting throughout their set. Following that band was Leathermouth which features one of the dudes from My Chemical Romance. Now, if I was a 15 year old girl, I would pee myself considering it's Frank something from MCR and his fellow bandmate Mikey Way or something is somewhere in the crowd with his vampire looking girlfriend. I would really pee myself. But sadly, I no longer am 15 nor was I ever that much into My Chemical Romance when I was that age. What does that say about me if I was not one deprived teen-ling? Yeah, they did their thing and it was awesome. Frank is an excellent performer even though he comes from a staple emo band. Props to him for being exhuberant and captivating my attention. I can't even describe what came after Leathermouth though. MC Chris was by far the most irritating and yet satisfying act throughout the whole night. His voice is very high pitched and annoying and I had no idea what he was saying. Plus, the beats he used were immensely irritating excluding 'Paper Planes'. All was justified when the dude dissed the shit out of these three or so pre-teen girls standing next to me who thought their scene points would increase if they yelled insults at MC Chris when it was quiet. He ended up comparing them to ninjas that cut themselves and it was pretty hilarious. The look on the girls' faces were priceless. They probably won't log onto MySpace for about a week, due to depression. Then came the man of the night, Reggie... and the Full Effect! Now, your girl here has been to many, many shows throughout her life. All sorts of shows; I'm so phat, I cover all genres. This was, by far, one of the best performances I have ever witnessed. I cannot even put it into words, but I'll try. The above photo is what James was wearing that night so you already know it was a blast. He opened up with an older song and he pranced around the stage in his short shirt, thermal pants, slippers, and mullet like a leprochaun or something. In between songs, he would make jokes and tell stories, not the typical 'Whassuppp, *state name here*, next song is *song title here*'. He played mostly older stuff, some 'Songs Not To Get Married To' stuff, and maybe two or three songs off the new album. I was pretty disappointed that he didn't play 'G Train', I was vocally ready for that one. I think the best songs were 'Get Well Soon', 'Apocolypse Wow', 'Love Reality', and the opener, the title slips my mind. Also, he played some new tracks off the new album (which comes out in February) called 'Xylophone' and a song about licking pussy 'til your tongue gets numb (I shit you not). Both songs are similar to Love Reality being that there is no screaming and all beat. 'Xylophone' is pretty epic, something to look forward to. The album will be titled Fluxation and I got a shirt to prove it. The show ended at around 12am and I was completely blown away. It will be very, very hard to attend a show that exudes the awesomeness factor that I experienced at Reggie and the Full Effect at Starland Ballroom on September 12th, 2008.

And if you haven't heard of Reggie/James prior, then that sucks. This was his last tour. However, with the new album coming out and all... Who knows.

One things for sure. James loves New Jersey more than he loves Long Island. :)
