you remind me of home

Suddenly cultverse has been given a whole new meaning.


( What on EARTH, Ryan Ross? (i.e., pictures you really need to see for yourself) )




More photos of Ryan found here, and the full set of he and his friends doing god-only-knows-what is here

Sorry if I'm just adding to your already flooded f-pages.

According to a new interview with Billboard.com/Spin Magazine, Panic! At the Disco's new album will be released March 25, 2008.

(Yes, I edited it in paint. Shut up. I lost photoshop when I had to reformat my laptop. Perfect Christmas present, yes?)

My birthday is on the 21st. They're obviously doing this on purpose so I have something fabulous to buy with the HMV gift certificates my clueless relatives will undoubtedly get me :D :D :D

Also, harmonicas and sliding guitars? Fuck YES, Ross. Especially if it's Brendon who plays the harmonica. Can't you see it? It would be so camp!

In the words of the immortal Britney Spears: gimme gimme more. Uh.

Guys, I think I'm actually excited about the new album now - between this and Pete's quote about the Wizard of Oz. Actually legitimately excited. \o/


P.S. Aww, even Spin thinks they're adorable! *pinches Ross's rosy little cheeks*

P.P.S. Whoa, drop enough names there, Spin? The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, AND The Beach Boys. No pressure, guys. Seriously.


( ETA: Some quotes from the Billboard.com article )

Hot damn!

Why on Earth is Panic!'s unreleased music on Heroes? *boggles* My roommates thought I was insane when I had a right royal freak out about it in the middle of the show, lol.

It sounds like studio recorded version - either a demo or maybe even the album version :D

So Panic & FOB just did a rather fabulous interview with Kerrang. This is why I love bandom.

OUR CANON BEATS EVERYONE ELSE'S CANON LIKE WHOA.


Have you ever felt threatened by a fan's reaction to you?
Ryan: Not really. I was just out giving some soup to the fans waiting outside a little while ago. It's cold out.
Pete: He's the Mother Teresa of Emo.

Ryan Ross, a caring, generous individual who is actually nice to his fans?!  WHAT? Doth my eyes deceive me?

Now I desperately want some sort of Missionary!Ryan or Philanthropist!Ryan AU.  Like...

It's 1967 and flag-burning hippie Ryan Ross just joined the Peace Corps because his father (who you know is totally a veteran who fought in both WWII AND Korea and kinda reminds you of Red in That 70's Show) insisted he enlist on, like, his deathbed or something, and there is NO WAY Ryan is going to fucking Vietnam. Fuck that shit. No. People die in Vietnam.
So instead Ryan ends up in Zambia or something, living in shacks, digging wells and trying not to be creeped out by these poor little African kids who actually make him look delightfully plump, all the while wondering exactly when he can respectably quit without dishonouring his father's memory and go back to smoking weed and writing music about suns falling in love with moons in his basement.
And maybe he kind of meets this geeky, annoying Mormon missionary kid named Brendon who seems to really enjoy the whole humanitarian thing and has an ass like Marilyn Monroe somewhere along the way too...

Guh. Somebody really needs to write this for me. Please? Pretty please? (I swear, I will bake you chocolate chip - oatmeal muffins! Delicious AND nutritious!)


What are some of the more elaborate schemes that fans have come up with to meet you?
Pete: Some of them started a band called Panic! At The Disco...

Oh, Ryan Ross. Even Pete Wentz knows you're just a little fanboy at heart, and he's Pete Wentz. We're not exactly talking about someone who picks up on subtleties here. But then, I guess we've all seen your old LJ photos...


What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever bought?
Pete: Ryan Ross
Ryan: And we never looked back...

Um, hi. I want a Ryan Ross. *makes grabby hands* I could do his hair and put him in snazzy clothes... It would be fun! Do you think Santa might bring me one for Christmas if I'm really, really good, or should I just go ahead and ask Pete where he got his?



Okay, Kerrang. Fine. I officially forgive you for that ridiculous list of "rock icons" you published a while back. Just don't do it again, ya hear?
