30 Bands in 30 Days
Day 1/30- Jack’s Mannequin
(Me and Andrew McMahon in April 2009 after Jack’s Mannequin show at Stockton College of NJ. 3rd time I have met him. Such a nice guy! Please note I am no longer this horribly unattractive.)
Favorite Song: It’s very hard to choose so I’ll try to narrow it down to five. Spinning, Dark Blue, The Resolution, The Mixed Tape and Rescued.
Favorite Album: Everything In Transit
Favorite Lyrics: “And you said you meant it. And there’s a piece of me in every single second of every single day. But if it’s true then tell me how it got this way”
“Dark blue, dark blue, have you ever been alone in a crowded room? Well I’m here with you, i said the world could be burning down.”
“You gotta swim, and swim when it hurts. The whole world is watching you haven’t come this far to fall off the earth….I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun. Choking on salt water, I’m not giving in. I swim.”
Seen them live?: I’ve seen Andrew with Something Corporate twice in ‘04 and ‘05. I’ve seen Jack’s Mannequin 3 times in ‘06, ‘07, and ‘09. I need to see them again soon! Andrew puts on such an amazing show!
