paramore: paramore

Fell out of the top ten.

Someone should send this song back in time to 1989 to play over the end credits of some awesome movie.

Love Urban, J. Lo and Harry just dancing away in place. If they stop moving, do they get a shock?

lol Keith Urban was FEELING IT

Zac Farro's new thing is pretty good

that is every indie song from 2003 to 2004

It's okay and his singing is good, but mostly it just reminded me to upload some Pinback to my ipod.

yeah it's not highly original or anything. but I always liked his drumming a lot, good to hear him do something that kinda goes against the conventional wisdom that the Farros left to go make 'real punk' or w/e.

I heard 'Ain't in Fun' in a strip club and it's become my song of the early summer

I heard 'Ain't in Fun' in a strip club

This is a very meta and perhaps even depressing song to play in a strip club

ain't it fun (if the homies can't have none)

xp yeah, 'You're not the big fish in the pond no more. You are what they're feeding on' is a bit much for a strip club

this band has some fuckin' longevity. seems like they are weathering vicissitudes better than, say, Fall Out Boy, the leading lights of the mid 00s pop-punk scene? or do I have this wrong as I am a dabbler?

and "Ain't It Fun" hasn't dropped out of the top thirty.

last Fall Out Boy album debuted at #1 the same month as the Paramore album (and has sold slightly more overall, although Paramore had the biggest single of either album), FOB has been around longer and is closing the shows on their current joint tour so...pretty close to a draw but FOB has the edge.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like Paramore are bigger internationally.

Paramore are headlining Reading festival this year...Fall Out Boy were 2nd on the bill before Linkin Park at Download a few weeks back... so I'd maybe say Paramore have the edge in the UK right now

The fact that Paramore won an award for Best Rock Song and Beck won for Best Rock Album shows you that there's gotta be a conspiracy going around to destroy the essence of what rock music is all about. The establishment doesn't want anything too threatening or in your face to rile you up, they just want you to nod to adult pop punk;) or indie folk electronica and think it's "rock."

Had to google up Trapt and I guess they were like second-fiddle to Puddle of Mudd or something.

Puddl of Mut

my oldest sister saw Bush in Iowa on the night of the grammys. TAKE THAT, establishment!

well, the state's crucial to his presidential chances.

lol

Somehow didn't know there was a deluxe version of this. Some of these bonus tracks are pretty good

I love this record. Definitely one of my favorite mainstream rock albums of the decade.

Will make my aoy list this year

the greatest album ever made probably

just like i claim i am

Jeremy Davis is out. I'll be honest - my first thought was "more motivation and inspiration for new material". In a way I can't wait to see what sort of creative sparks fly in the aftermath... but anyway, he was not central to the songwriting, that's Williams and York.

^ Even better:

Paramore and former bassist Jeremy Davis are locked in a legal dispute over whether Davis was an employee for the Nashville pop-rock band or a partner in the underlying business entitled to a share of royalties and touring revenue.

Varoom Whoa, the business entity that operates Paramore, preemptively sued Davis in Nashville Chancery Court in February. According to the lawsuit, Varoom Whoa is fully owned by frontwoman Hayley Williams.

Williams is the one signed to a record contract with Atlantic Records, and she pays her band members as employees.

i think zac farro is recording drums for the new record

!

would be pretty cool. there was good drumming on the last album but i always thought he contributed a lot to the band's early sound.

ilan rubin is one of my favorite drummers but i love zac's style so i'm psyched

btw this is such a great thread

the last three years have seen some of the hottest pictures of the Paramore guys.

The times I have posted ITT after having been crushed by a particular moment on this album are basically the happiest I have ever been in my life.

still into [this album by paramore]

Yeah it always seemed like a self-evidently great album, but the fact that it's help up this well makes it even more remarkable.

I can't imagine a world where their next album isn't a little disappointing after this but who knows they could surprise us again

it always seemed like a self-evidently great album, but the fact that it's help up this well makes it even more remarkable.

so otm

now when you say you wanna slow down
does it mean you wanna slow dance?
maybe you just want a little extra time to focus
on our romance?

Huh

I finally like this album! It only took a few years.

hard to believe we ever got a song as good as “grow up”
