Dear Jack,

The Story of Andrew McMahon has a new trailer. For some reason, blogger won't let me imbed the trailer, so go see it here.

For those of you that don't know (I'm going to go with 99.9% of you, since I'm fairly sure only Apple does know) I have Lupus. I was diagnosed the same time that Andrew got diagnosed with Leukemia. At the time, Something Corporate were one of my favorite bands, and now their spot has only been replaced with Jack's Mannequin. Anyway, reading about Andrew's struggles and his eventual win with his battle helped me a lot with my own. So, Andrew, thank you for all the hope you instilled me with.
Also, buy/go see this (I'm not sure about it's theatrical release), and buy The Glass Passenger with it comes out. Nothing but good will come from that I'm certain.

With much love,
Orange.

After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.
The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.

God i wish i could hate you...

Oh, how i miss midtown. Seeing Gabe with his new band all over MTV this week is really making me more angry than seeing someone on MTV should. I hate that he broke up Midtown to create a band that really should have MAYBE existed for one song...the theme to snakes on a plane.

I wanted to badly to see Midtown again...and was given a chance a few years back, but that was yanked out from underneath us because of some reason like a few of the members couldnt get to vintage vinyl or something. i dont remember exactly what the reason was, but i do know that a few weeks later, midtown ceased to exist and cobra starship was all over the place.

i guess this started a back in '03, when gabe was part of the real world/road rules challenge. i remember them being on the beach and gabe coming out from the water to introduce to the cast what the next challenge was going to be. i know that is when a friend of mine (who previously was a HUGE midtown fan and was the person who got me into the band to begin with) decided he could no longer be a fan of the band. he called gabe a sell-out. if only we knew then how right my friend was.

some weeks i get really excited to see bands featured on MTV. others it makes me want to cancel my cable subscription. this week falls to the latter.
