(Hurripain) The Formal Hurting Pattern

When this boy sings, you can feeeeeeeel it.


Andrew McMahon can do NO wrong.

And don't bother arguing, this is fact.
He consistantly brings beautiful melodies, amazing vocals and exellent lyrics. He makes me want to hump a piano....in a good way! (Is there a bad way?)
Not only that, but on his arm lies the best tattoo ever put on man- Van Gogh's Starry Night with the word "Music" going down the middle of it. Ah.

Although currently in Jack's Mannequin, Andrew's first adventure into the hearts of many was through the band Something Corporate.
Hearing them for the first time was refreshing to me. Here I am listening to fast driven punk pop, then out of nowhere....piano?


A flaming piano. Pretty badass.

Audioboxer was my first SoCo recording. I overplayed the crap out of it and made everyone within earshot listen.
I vividly remember purchasing Leaving Through the Window at Best Buy along with Taking Back Sunday's Tell All Your Friends (To which my friend's boyfriend's friend...yeah...pulled the CDs from my hands and stated, "Taking Back Sunday? Yeah, they sound popular" to attempt smartassedness.)

To say that Leaving Through the Window didn't leave my CD player for a rather long time would be an understatement. To say that it was played so much that the disc and inside of the player fused would be more realistic.

Something Corporate's music takes me back to small, specific events in my life. Some bad, some not so bad. But, I'd gladly remember a shitty time to hear one of their songs.

Here are some of my favorites.


I've been watching/listening to this one for 2 hours now.

My most favoritest song "Ben Franklin's Kite" is nowhere to be found on youtube. So, just imagine the most super amazingly awesome piano coolness ever.

My second favorite song, "Cavanaugh Park." This one always makes me tear up a bit.
