Good Morning! We have new BEMIS.

There is only one thing I would like more than this at the moment… and since that is constantly in the back of my mind, percolating, I’ll take these videos of Max Bemis playing acoustic versions of two new Say Anything songs.

The first one is called “Loathing” and from what I can make of the lyrics, it has about 15 quotable lines, particularly if you are sad and lonely in the way that Max seems to be able to perfectly explain. I definitely feel it, anyway:

The second one is “Cemetery,” and there is some supreme Max adorableness in this video that I won’t ruin for the rest of you, who like me, adore the little things he does:

This song is going to be amazing with the full band.

Since there are no more Say Anything dates for the rest of the year, my OCD is compelling me to seek out Two Tongues dates [which are supposed to happen before the end of the year] so I can re-attempt “Operation: Meet Max Bemis [and Use the Awesome Pick-Up Line of ‘Im Over 18, Dude’.”

Also, these two new songs make me so sad that he announced he’d write a personalized, unique song for a mere $150… on the day I moved.  I would have paid that in a heartbeat, and even wrote out what I wanted my song to be about [I would have requested the title be “P.M.”] but I didn’t have the money. Hopefully, he’ll do it again. I’ll sell blood if I must, to get that song.

Anyway, I digress. Enjoy the new songs, because they’re quite good and pretty much guarantee the next Say Anything, supposedly out in 2009, will be album of the year for said year.  [I’m pretty sure that is the earliest prediction for album of the year I have ever made… and it could be weird if MCR roll something out that year… but I’m standing by it.]
