Hayley Williams of Paramore posted up a little video of her performing “Accident Prone” by Jawbreaker on Twitter.
Update: I extracted the audio from the video and cleaned it up just a little if you’d like an MP3 copy.
Bleachers performed on MTV Unplugged last night. Lorde and Carly Rae Jepsen stopped by for a performance of “Hate That You Know Me.”
Yours truly was asked to talk a little bit about my iPhone home screen over at MacSparky.1 It’s basically a picture of my home screen and some commentary about the apps I use the most. I’ve had a few people ask me about the second screen on my phone, so there’s a screenshot of that below for anyone curious.
A really good blog and podcast, definitely worth checking out.↩
Gwilym Lockwood has attempted to look at the Spotify data and map out Brand New’s music over the years:
My clustering algorithm identified three main types of Brand New songs:
1: “Hard and upbeat” (Loud, high energy, more dancey, higher valence)
2: “Soft and quiet” (Acoustic, low energy, quiet)
3: “Hard and intense” (Loud, high energy, less dancey, lower valence)Your Favorite Weapon has a lot of type 1 songs (e.g. Seventy Times 7), while Devil and God has a lot of type 3 songs (e.g. You Won’t Know). Science Fiction has an even spread of all three. Hover over the points for more information, and click the cluster guide or the points to highlight the data across the graphs.
There’s some pretty interesting stuff to play around with here.

Riff Raff would like to collaborate with Waterparks. Speaking of Waterparks, I must not have been paying attention to the band’s song ”Little Violence” when I listened to it a few months back, because I totally missed this part:
I wanna be a sellout just to piss y’all off
While absolutepunk’s sucking off beard-punk songs
Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get a review
And if that goes well, maybe a feature too
This is pretty funny. I do love me some beard-punk.

Pete Wentz is the latest guest on the the Rock Sound Podcast and the talks about Fall Out Boy finishing up their new album:
Not necessarily that we weren’t far along before – the songs just weren’t the right songs. We totally altered the course, which I think was important.
“I’d say we’re 60 or 70 per cent done with the record now,” he revealed.
I think we got ourselves into a strange situation where we put out “Young And Menace” and then we were like, ‘What’s the rest of the body of work?’.
