McNothings

It's been a while. A long while.

To be honest, I'd been going through a phase where I just wasn't that much into McFly. I never advertise my love for McFly(unless I happen to be drunk and they just so happened to be mentioned... oh gosh).

I wasn't jumping for joy when I bought the McFly ticket for the Up Close etc etc tour, nor was I close to super happiness when the boys got their Twitters. I was just like, huh. Cool.

Don't get me wrong, they are still my favorite band. I was just indifferent I guess. Falling In Love didn't particularly wow me, but I thought it was a really good song, actually one of the best on their album.

And then something happened. In short, a missed opportunity happened. I listened to that song again, and suddenly, it makes a lot more sense. And I remembered why this band meant a lot to me. Just when I thought "am I the only one who has ever felt this way?" and here they come to remind me, "You're not alone, love. Shit happens."

On another note, this song happens to be their latest single. If the male figure in question heard this song and did not feel anything, then he deserves a kick in face.

But anyway, thank you, McFly, for being there.

I made a computer soundbyte from this song. The piano bit from 1:09-1:12. So now, whenever someone signs on MSN I hear that and it makes me so sad. UGH, lol. And it also makes me go back and listen to POV again.

So if you see me on MSN and you see my status with that song, you'll know why.

Because of my crazy impulse in August, I got the chance to see the boys live TWICE--1st show Wembley Arena where they filmed the tour DVD, 2nd show Liverpool Echo Arena, where I had front row seat, center of Danny and Dougie. AAAAAHFGDLSKJGHFLDKJAL.

( WEMBLEY )

And then came the
( LIVERPOOL )

So, that was it! Two of the most wonderful nights ever. I don't know if I'll get the chance to see them again. I hope they go down to America. It would be great to see them there, and support them in everything they do. I really hope they go to America. BOYS, you went to freakin BRAZIL. Come on, now. You probably have way more fans in America than you imagined. I want them to go to the U.S. especially for Liz, and all my friends who love them so much for all these years but haven't even seen them once. And when they finally do, the experience will truly be magical.

Like the icon? Keyword gandalftheguitarist, lol. Though he suits more of the hobbit character.

So, hiii. :) I haven't posted in this LJ in forever. I watched that new video. I've only seen it once. Not my favorite, but I applaud them for being creative like that. I love the song. Ever wonder if the theme for this album's videos is random dancing? It's still awesome though. Job well done. :)

I haven't watched many McFly videos lately--I think the roles have been switched between Liz and I. I used to be the one so up-to-date with everything McFly, including TV times and radio appearances.. now Liz has that role, and I'm the one asking her what's going on. o.O Anyway, she showed me them performing "The Winner Takes It All" in front of thousands of people(not surprised) and of course it brought a smile to my face. I'd never expect them to cover an ABBA song, but then again they have covered some unusuals before, like "You're the One That I Want"... except ABBA's isn't as weird. ~shrug~

When I go to England, I have this really insecure feeling that if I tell someone I love McFly, they'll hate me forever and never speak to me again. But then again, I should just not even care what other people think.. And yell at them to gtfo for talking smack about my favorite band. It's happened before.

I guess I just posted here to show off my new tomcon. Love you, Tom!! And hey, I just checked the archive and saw that my very first post was posted 2 years ago today! Make that a happy birthday icon? :)

I failed to mention in this LJ the details of the tour dates of my own.
It was expensive, but I snagged a standing ticket for the Wembley gig,
And I'm not sure about the one in Liverpool, but I have a feeling that my seat is in front row, center block.

OMG.

That's all. :)

Okay, so it may seem that I have been in an anti-McFly mode. That's not exactly it. I've been on an indifferent, apathetic, can't really be bothered by every single article/antic/goofy video they put out for us. All of that is great, but I feel like what I really want right now is that CD in my hands. I want to put it into my stereo and blast it in my room, so I can dance and listen to every song with love and admiration. This is so un-fangirl.

I'm downloading the Moylesy interview at this very moment. I remember I used to talk about Moylesy in my LJ every day for a month. He and McFly are funny together. :D

Tickets go on sale this Saturday, don't they? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Last but not least: Tom.

Happy Birthday, you hot, sexy thing, you.(would have made sense two days ago as well, right KitKat? :) )

WHERE DO I GO?!

( McRock Band )

At first I this pic was reminiscent of the cover of "Please, Please," and then I noticed Harry's drum set did not have a bass drum or top hat and I was wondering what kind of band they downgraded themselves to. But that's just me. I saw the youtube vid(which could be seen at either mcfly_daily or mcfly_times) and they were just the cutest playing it. I couldn't stop smiling. x)

As for 'The F Word', I haven't seen it but I don't want any spoilers. I just don't want to see it right now, for some reason.

McTeam reached the Soccer Six Finals, correct me if I'm wrong, but yay! Go boys!

Oh, and Radio 1's "Switch" on Sunday? MCFLY SINGLE WORLD PREMIERE?! Exciting =D

Took enough shit from Island, created their own label

Is this what they meant by going Indie? Because being an Indie band first and foremost means being a band on an Independent label. The sound comes associated with it.

And also, Tom, if you didn't want us to share the song then why did you post it on that website? But maybe, on the the band's defense, no one could have known about that clip if the information wasn't leaked somehow. Still, they should know that fans will go through any heights to get it. Bleh.

Anyway, Super Records. lol. They're the Justice League now. Which superheroes do you think they should be? I think Harry could be Superman. Tom could be Batman and Dougie could be Robin. Danny would still be wondering about bats vs. rats. x) I wouldn't know who Danny would be, otherwise =/

Dougie was in my dream last night. It was like we were friends and he hadn't seen me in a while so he hugged me. And he wouldn't let go. <3

lol, why do my McFly dreams always consist of them being so sweet to me? Sighh.

Apparently, we should be on the lookout for leaks.



I don't care whether their sound sucks or sounds the same as their last albums. I'm just glad we're getting more McFly in our lives soon. :)

So my friend Boot has a roommate who he contemplates as gay. His roommate always has a friend over. A guy friend who seems younger than him.

So when I heard the key unlock the front door, I looked over and I swear I thought I saw Harry and Dougie walking in. XD

Seriously! Boot's roommate was built like Harry with the arms and the chest and his friend was so little and cute and hobo ish like Dougie.

~flail~

( totally fangirling in KUCI Studio C right now )

*You won't believe how many times I backspaced that to make sure the spelling was correct. Then I gave up

********************oh_mumble!!! <3! $<$$<$<$#@2lhj <33!! She deserves the biggest hugs and kisses for sharing this pic and the other ones as well. EEEEEEEEEEE!!! I'M GOING TO LEAVE STUDIO A NOW WITH THE CHEESIEST GRIN ON MY FACE.

TOM! <3

( Well, this ain't fair )

And because this is sort of related, I thought Scala needed a lj fan community. It's pretty much free-for-all, post anything Scala-related right now, which is easy for me. They're music/style fascinates me and I'm so glad they've been getting some exposure lately. :) scala_rocks

( McPolitics )

I'm grinning like a fool in the library.

Bye Bye Island

I personally am happy for the boys. Who knows what will happen after they leave Island Records, but we should look on the bright side for the McFly side of things. Good can definitely come out of a record label change. The only example I can think of right now are the Jonas Brothers, which probably is a different case because they were actually dropped from Columbia Records(they didn't switch).. but signed onto Hollywood Records and then BAM, whether people really love them or are extremely annoyed with them, they are pretty much popular and successful.

Some people are speculating that McFly would be dropped too, if they stayed with Island. How much would you have to, well, not sell to be dropped from a label? It also has to do with what the label believes will fit with the ~mainstream~.. Something I wish to understand..

For some reason it feels like ages since I've posted to this journal. But I don't think I've lurked on McFly Official in a record high of 2 days so I thought I'd post about what caught my eye.

-From a recent episode of "The Weakest Link":
"One single on the number 1 double A Side single by McFly in May 2007 was named after which place in Romania?"

Of course people would hardly know that one--I mean, BCB was promoted more which I thought was lame. But still...... what other place would people know in Romania besides that one? Huh?

-Yay for fans vicious voting methods and making McFly & Dougie win those Virgin Media Award things.

-I also thought this was cool:
http://www.deeprockdrive.com/artist/mcfly
Apparently if McFly get 1000 votes, they site ppl will ask the boys to do a concert which will broadcast online. There are 257 votes as of this entry. I think it would be cool if that happened! But the catch is, you need an account to vote.

-AND. I want a McFly mug.

Also, these days have been rough but listening to McFly helps me get through it. When I came home at 11-ish I was listening to Obviously. By the way, today I almost got run over by a racing golf cart. I love you, McFly.

Happy 2008, oh dear McFly Fangirl Journal of mine. :))

I know the guys have already started recording their 4th album, which is slated for release this summer. They've booked tour dates for the Fall, and although I'm not getting my hopes up, I might be in the UK in the Fall, so we'll see. :)

Oh, and Dougie has a new girlfriend. Aww. ♥

Otherwise, I didn't see anything new. There's that 100 Totally Awesome Popbands but I'm actually too lazy to look it up and watch that. I do miss McFly in my life though. :(

WHY IS AMAZON UK SELLING THE CALENDAR FOR 1 POUND AND HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST.
I don't want to pay for shipping. :(
