Day 26: Something you wish you could say to one of the members/ex-members of My Favorite Highway

So I pretty much say everything I want to Dave, and he always has to listen to the “You should’ve listened to me!” months later so that’s that. I don’t have much to say to Pat or Will. I mean when I’m in person with them I don’t change, I always speak my mind and they know that. I do wish I could tell Bobby that I hope he has a wonderful life; he’s truly a stand-up guy and totally deserves this [and we all saw it coming once he got married]. And that I’m really impressed he tried to keep doing it for so long, that was literally amazing to me. I still talk to Andy so that’s whatever. Not sure who they’re getting to replace Bobby but I’m sure I’ll have a mouthful for him eventually.

Just watched Uncertainty

Netflix somehow knows I’m an indie hipster pretentious fuck [which is werid because 100% sure it’s not associated with Last.fm lol] and it was all You’ll like this! Also JGL is in it so I listened; I think Netflix is stalking me. Anyway, thoughts:

  • JGL looks a lot better in suits, def true. I mean he stills better looking in this than 500 days of Summer, but holy cow he’s def an always suits, only suits kind of guy in my head
  • There’s a part in the movie, maybe 20 minutes before the end, that totally feels like the end [although it would’ve been very unsatisfying if it was] and I was all “What’s the moral of this movie?! That no matter what at the end of the day I’m going to manage to sleep with my boyfriend?!” And I was mad for a second [before I realized that wasn’t the end], but then I thought “Well Oh, if JGL was my boyfriend that might be the lesson…” EXCEPT: how can we have sex if he keeps the suit on? This poses a great challenge.

02. Something Personal Bright And Early

liveinjusttoday:

“Something Personal” - Bright and Early

I never looked right in v-necks or tight clothes
Never looked good in high tops or camo
Never had a fake fur hooded coat
I won’t strike a pose like All Time Low
All the Glamour Kills teens and tweet queens of NYC
I know you’re hotter than me
But how’s it gonna be when you’re 23
And you realize you peaked at 17

Somehow we let it go this far
But we need to bring it down
I could use a change in scenery
And another change in sound
And I’m so ashamed to say
That I stopped liking Green Day
What the hell is going on?
Can someone tell me?

Why does everybody hate Cobra Starship?
Isn’t it time Gabe filled his pockets?
Touring all around, playing sold out shows
Selling neon yellow clothes to kids like dope
And there’s nothing we can do, but Midtown can stop it
Reunite, tour, at least for the profits
Hey, it’s just rock and roll
And it’s not ok to forget what you know

Somehow we let it go this far
But we need to bring it down
I could use a change in scenery
And another change in sound
And I’m so ashamed to say
That I stopped liking Green Day
What the hell is going on?
Can someone tell me?

I wish I could just
Attack Attack, Alex and Jack
But truth is, I’m sick and fucking tired and it’s time to crack
And I won’t give my respect to those shitty hacks
And the things they lack, and the fixed up tracks
Where did the truth go? I want it back

Somehow we let it go this far
But we need to bring it down
I could use a change in scenery
And another change in sound
And I’m so ashamed to say
That I’ve given up on Green Day
What the hell is going on?
Can someone tell me?

Really liking this. It’s awesome because it’s punchy but it doesnt sound fad-ish like The Fold’s song. Feels more real, idk I’m diggin.

Day 24: The first My Favorite Highway song you heard

It was either Counterfeit or the Unaware demo. They added me on myspace long ago, so it’s whatever was first on their player.

Day 23: A funny MFH-related moment

Oh my gosh, there are too many that I don’t even know. I especially like Kaylee’s story about how she always used to see me in MFH shirts at shows [I don’t really represent anymore, my bad] and how she always wanted to talk to me but then didn’t, but then did! And now we are great friends. I also like every time I triumph and someone texts me “Thanks Jacqueline, MFH are sooo good!” I also Will’s face when I told him that I got my tattoo before he got his, wish I had photographic evidence. Then there was that time that Dave told me to get a fake ID lol. Maybe my favorite though is when I go to VA and bands outside are like “Come to our show soon!” and I’m all “No thank you, give your flyer to someone else who can actually make it. I don’t live very close.” Them: “You can’t live that far if you’re here.” Me: “I’m from Seattle.” “OH SHIT!” Also there was that time I gave Marshall HTCAB v1.0 and he told me he totally already knew MFH, that was awesome and funny in retrospect. Or whenever FNB comes up and we start talking about Andy and everyone’s all “You mean Andrew?” and I say “Well I’ve known him longer than you and once upon a time he was Andy.” “What?!” “He was in My Favorite Highway” “No way!” But mostly I like that 95% of my friends totally associate me + music = my favorite highway. I’ve worked hard to create that equation in people’s head and it’s always funny when OTHER people bring up MFH around me before I do. <3

Basically I like to laugh and I laugh at most of my jokes, so there are a lot of funny moments in my life, MFH related ones included.

Day 22: A tour you wish My Favorite Highway was on

Really anything that came to Seattle would be nice, lol. But I’d actually really love to see em with like You Me At Six, Anerblin, Brightwood, and Deas Vail. That seems like quite the genre-chaotic tour, but I think it might work? haha.

As far as existing tours go it’d be nice to see them on an AP Tour for the exposure, or come through with Copeland for the indie cred lol.

Day 21: Your favorite tour My Favorite Highway has been on

Um even though I didn’t go probably the FTSK/Rocket Summer/SIL tour. There was one other band I didn’t care for but generally that seemed like a killer lineup/would be an awesome show.
