How many more conferences about blogging can we realistically have? We’ve saturated everybody we needed to, we can sit back and let gigantic evil corporations force our parents and grandparents into it from now on. It is just the net now guys, just an extension of humans behind computers, and it isn’t about what “the blogosphere” says, it is about what the people behind computers say, so give us names that are applicable to our groupings like “cheaply-bought evangelists,” “desperate political attention-grabbers,” “bandwagoneers” and “socially inept twenty-somethings.” web 2.0 : See “bandwagoneers” and “cheaply bought evangelists” above. Somehow hearing this phrase has become synonymous with listening to a company spokesperson attempting to “build a community” with me while raping all the software and projects I love in an attempt to convince people that they are open. I understand the urges to have buzzwords in every possible sentence you utter to me, but have some dignity because we see right through you. If you want to impress me, here are some buzzwords you can try out: “context-free grammar,” “naked women,” “python,” and “can I get you a beer?” attention owner : Okay, so I don’t ever actually hear this one, likely because I immediately attempt to find something else to do if somebody mentions anything that sounds like it could lead into a conversation about how important it is that their attention be justified, but it is so self-aggrandizing and empty that I hope it never has to reach my ears. Just so that this post isn’t all negative… Technorati Tags: blogging This entry was posted on Friday, December 9th, 2005 at 7:51 amand is filed under Uncategorized .You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.

You’re an official Amsterdammer now! Fred McJohn Says: December 9th, 2005 at 1:04 pm Web 2.0 got me annoyed the day I heard it. I don’t like when people versionize my hobby. Chris Messina Says: December 9th, 2005 at 1:20 pm Dude, read the Cluetrain Manifesto if you haven’t already. The first part of the book speaks to all this. The second part sells out. It’s this post in novel form. Hot damn. Scott Caplan Says: December 9th, 2005 at 1:39 pm Is that poutine? hmmmm.. .much better than context-free grammar. danboarder Says: December 9th, 2005 at 2:59 pm Tasty! OK - on your buzzword rant - If you guys at Flock skip the blogo and web2.0 buzz and go right to what is actually working out there and outrageously successful, I think Flock will fly (pun intended). For example, make Flock work good with MySpace and Xanga. Edit mySpace templates, add photos to your profiles there, etc. There is your 100million users that will grow up to be the real bloggers in a few years. And to the MySpace haters out there, get a grip. Just because you are in college now you don’t have to hate high school…. many MySpace kids will grow up to be the next generation of bloggers. Marco Wessel Says: December 9th, 2005 at 7:33 pm Those fries are from Utrecht. Not only does it barely legibly say so on the bag, but I actually had the same ones (albeit with satesaus and no mayonaise) just last week when I figured I’d go to Utrecht instead of Amsterdam for a change. Brilliant fries btw. Tim Trautmann Says: December 15th, 2005 at 3:49 pm Is that curry ketchup there with your mayo? Hmmm yum.

Join the Story Of The Year eTeam . Bio : July 2002: St. Louis-bred fivesome Story Of The Year (then known as BigBlue Monkey) hits the stage at the Phoenix, Arizona stop of the Vans Warped Tourin the Peoria Sports Complex. But, theres no real stage rather, the groupis crammed onto a rickety platform thats relegated to a remote corner of thevenue. Although temperatures are well north of 103 degrees and the assembledaudience is largely unfamiliar with the band, Story Of The Year doesnt justplay the songs on the setlist they live for it and deliver. July 2004: Story Of The Year hits the stage of the Vans Warped Tour, though thistime its on decidedly different terms for starters, theyre playing themain stage. Thousands of dedicated fans rush to the front in an effort to gain aglimpse of the group well before the first note is even heard. Precisely as theyddone two years prior, the fivesome doesnt just play the songs on the setlist they live for it and deliver. Its this remarkable consistency thats embedded within the collectivemindset of Story Of The Year. Though theyre musicians first, the band alsotakes time out for a bit of good, sometimes-not-so-clean fun and games. Youcant be serious for too long, says bassist Adam Russell. And its this well-balanced attitude thats worked to the benefit of thegroup, particularly in the success of 2003s near platinum, Maverick debut Page Avenue. The next several months post- Page Avenue s release were filled withwhirlwind blurs of touring stints, both domestic and international, interruptedby mere days of rest. In fact, Story Of The Year wouldnt have a significantbreak from the road until the end of 2004, when it came time to write and recordtheir follow-up to Page Avenue. Writing sessions began almost immediately after the bands touring cycleended. We pretty much got together in the winter and just started working itlike a 40-hour-a-week job, Marsala says. Most of the writing took place atguitarist Ryan Phillips house, whose residence also doubled as the bandspractice studio. With songwriting sessions wrapped up, the band joined forces with veteranproducer Steve Evetts (Snapcase, Hatebreed) to begin tracking their new album.[He recorded] a lot of old records that I grew up listening to, some of myfavorite records of all time, says Marsala of Evetts. Thats one of themain reasons why a bunch of us were like, Yeah, we should talk to this guyand see if hes cool. And the first time we met with him, it was likeinstantly good chemistry. He really knew what we were trying to go for and weall agreed and were on the same page. We felt like we were always a little heavier than [ Page Avenue ]sounded, he adds. Live, we always played heavier than our record actuallysounded, so we wanted to try and capture our live sound on this record. Capturing Story Of The Years stage sonics also meant being physically able toperform on record as the band had done on tour. During initial tracking sessionsfor Josh Wills drums in a Chicago studio, Marsala, Phillips, guitarist PhilipSneed and bassist Adam Russell performed alongside Wills, making sure toincorporate all their stage maneuvers. We did the drums with everyone in the room and we were actually jumping andstuff!, says Marsala. It was really cool, we acted like we were playing ashow. Even Steve was in the room, rockin out with us. And when the drum sessions were complete, Wills made it a point to let everyoneknow. On the last take for the last song on the record, Josh stabbed theheads of drums with his drumstick, pushed his drums over and we were allscreaming, Russell recalls. We were feeling the fire! That same fire blazed its way back to St. Louis, as Story Of The Year continuedits sessions at what became the primary recording studio for the new album Phillips practice room. Its just a big room, so we can run around and sweat in there, saysMarsala. We made it really soundproof and with ProTools now, you can recordanything anywhere. We did guitars, bass and vocals all in our practice room. Itseasier because youre at home, you can spend more time, you dont have todrive anywhere or go anywhere. The band spent plenty of time at their new studio, mostly recording, but attimes, blowing off a little steam with plenty of pranks much like the sortfound on their recent DVD release, Live at the Lou/Bassassins liketossing snap bags at each other. (Dont try this at home!) Phil took off his shirt, and I was throwing handfuls of em at him,Russell says. He was like, Dude, throw two more! I eventually threwlike 15 at his chest and he ended up with all these red marks. We took a bigstraw and started shooting them at each other. Weeks later, Story Of The Year finalized their sophomore Maverick full-length,aptly dubbed In The Wake Of Determination. We were really excited towrite a new record, we knew exactly what we wanted to do, and we knew how wewanted to come across, says Marsala. We were just really determined, so itseemed as if the title worked really well. That was our mindset the entire time. Firing off with the first single, We Dont Care Anymore, In The WakeOf Determination immediately finds Story Of The Year on a full-throttlecourse throughout its dozen tracks. The track offers tight, synchronized guitarriffing interspersed with broad choruses, and according to Marsala is about thepressure of making a second record for a band like us, or just the pressure inanyones life, you know. Having to follow up to your first record, you cantruin what you already had, or else your band will be over. We could worry aboutall these things and have the pressure get to us, or we can do things forourselves, do it the way we want to do it, and just have fun doing it. Five Against The World finds Story Of The Year reflecting on its successand accomplishments over the past couple years. These are good days and wellremember this stuff for the rest of our lives, Marsala says. Were happyto see where weve gone. We never thought wed get as far as we did. Itsjust an awesome thing. As one of the most propulsive tracks on In The Wake Of Determination , Jarheadrecalls the hyper-tempo bursts of the legendary East Coast hardcore scene. Asits title might suggest, Jarhead also points out miscreants whose solepurpose is to cause a commotion. From my whole life of going to shows and over the last few years of playingshows, youd see those guys in the crowd who you could tell arent there forthe music whatsoever, says Marsala. Theyre just there to beat up asmany kids as they can. But its not only about going to shows; its aboutany random, tough guy who thinks hes tougher than any other guy in the world.He takes his aggression out to prove how cool he is. Why are you here? Werehere to have a good time, not to try and fight people. In addition to having a good time, Story Of The Year also has plenty of reasonto celebrate. And looking back at the bands roots as a hard-working,independent operation, Marsala understands just how much the bands hard workand effort has finally paid off. It helps that we were that band that nobody knew and wed try to go aroundand sell our CD, Marsala recalls. Especially on Warped Tour, I see a lotof bands do this now but at the time we were one of the only bands thatwould walk out there and try to put headphones on peoples heads and sell themour CDs. Its good to have that background of working like that, just toappreciate how lucky you are to make it as far as you did.

In october i saw you guys in Louisville for my birthday and spent almost $300, on tickets and merchandise. & When I got there, i got hit in the face by some big guy trying to start a moshpit. It gave me a black eye. In December... I went all the way to Cincinatti to see you guys for Christmas. & Spent about $200 on merch, & tickets. After the show, another $120 because our car got towed. It was amazingly worth it to me. & i plan to do it all again this year. Maybe i'll have better luck? if not, oh well. I LOVE YOU GUYS. redredrose Jan 11, 2006 12:36 PM psh i dont care anymore! do yall care anymore...nahhh didnt think so FateFellShort Jan 11, 2006 12:36 PM Ryan shreds guitars better than Slash himself...KEEP IT UP NOSE!
