At Least It’s Not Jessica Simpson

Posted by pixie | Filed under Uncategorized

Reports from the Max Bemis show at Rutgers last night say he dedicated “Cemetery” to his fiance, and they’d gotten engaged three days earlier. Once again, I am confused… because shouldn’t I know if I’m engaged? Does this mean my fantasy life of being married to Max Bemis is really just a fantasy? *sniff*

And so goes my attempt to write about someone/something other than Max Bemis.

Rumors are the chick is Sherri DuPree of Eisley.  Like I said, at least it’s not a Simpson….

Also, how the hell do people find these acoustic Max shows? I’ve always considered myself a genius band stalker, but the show was at Rutgers University, which is an hour from where I live. I’d easily drive further for a Max solo show… how am I missing these? Feel free to let me know, as I have just openly admitted there is something involving band-stalking that I simply can not figure out — and this comes from a girl who has pulled off incredible feats of band meetings/shows.

Rar. Of course, I then go find a photo him manhandling a bass….

Seriously, though, I hope he’s happy. if there’s anyone whose lyrics have floored me, moved me, saved me, hurt me, and helped me through this tangled life [particularly the last year] it’s Max… and anyone who writes lyrics I can relate to that much deserves to never feel that way again. Congratulations, and such, from the world’s most ridiculous Max Bemis fan site.

That’s it! I’m going to find some different news for you guys.

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.]

New Valencia Video — With Bonus Max Bemis!

Posted by pixie | Filed under Uncategorized

I have been a fan of Valencia for quite some time, and while it seems their jump to major label Columbia didn’t work out so well for them, in terms of video budgets, they did a great job on their own. The video, which has tons of Warped Tour stars in it, is really cute and the song “Holiday” stands a decent chance at being a “hit,” at least in our world.

And of course, there are many reward appearances towards the end of the video, but I assure you, none made me squeal to the extent that EPB’s chosen superstar Max Bemis did.

It’s things like this video that make me wish I could experience something like Warped Tour, but being anything but a summer girl, it will never happen, unless they move it to a more reasonable month like April or October.

Anyway, enjoy the video… because it’s awesome.  And check out the band’s new album, which is out next Tuesday.

Alternative Press Makes Me Sweat

Why? Because the cover of the next issue features, amongst other people, Max Bemis… tied up with rope.

It’s not that I am some dominant freak [quite the opposite, to be honest] but the way I see it is, if I am ever to have my dream date with Maxim Bemis, it would require him to look just like he does on that cover.

Mrow.

Want to see?

Damn.

Sorry posts have been sporadic… life and the things you have to do sometimes get in the way of the things you want to do and love doing.

This Is Why I Love Max Bemis

This is an old interview, but…

the fact that he is barefoot and petting a stuffed unicorn makes him damned near the perfect man in my eyes. Is it just me?

This is what happens when I start looking for the few unreleased songs I don’t have yet, and happen upon interviews that have been up for a while. You have to admit, this is 20 minutes of pretty amazing Max footage.  Now if only I could convince him that he should marry me….
