Andrew McMahon from Something Corporate/Jacks Mannequin...

[Lost_Forever]

Has Acute Lymphatic Leuchemia. :(

This is from The Something Corporate website....

Andrew McMahon, lead singer of Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin, has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia. He is being treated in Los Angeles and his doctors expect a full recovery. Tour dates for both Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate are postponed until further notice. Per Andrew’s request, Jack’s Mannequin’s debut album, Everything in Transit, will be released on Maverick Records in August as planned.

I dont know if anyone here listens to soco or JM, but i'm soo sad about Andrew. I hope he gets better soon and i'm totally bummed about the shows being cancelled because now i cant see him. Sigh. :(

ouch... that sux.... yeah i know Something Corperate.... there not my fav but there okay...

I think something coroporate ranks below the confines of music, but as he is a human being, I hope he gets better

[Lost_Forever]

haha. Thats sad guys! I dont get why some people dont like them. Well, i know my one friend doesnt like something corporate but he does like Jacks Mannequin. You should probably check them out. Hmm, go here (http://maverick.fanpimp.com/themessengers/index.html?fuseaction=tools.invlink&u=DyingxTrust&linkID=6) and you can hear 2 of their songs. They have other good ones too!

But anyway, i really hope Andrew gets better soon. He doesnt deserve that at all. :(

Why dont I like them?

1. Thier music sounds like stereotypical emo/poppunk schlock

2. Their lead singer sounds like a pre-pubescent 12 year old and has obviously had no vocal training of any kind. His voice is EXTREMEMLY whiny and annoying

3. Their lyrics, for the most part, are angsty emo BS, which is exactly what attracts girls. How have they not noticed that its NOT TRUE! THEIR LIVES DONT SUCK THAT MUCH! And the lyrics ARENT DEEP! THEYRE STUPID!

4. My sister went to one of their shows and brought back pictures...they had an old beat up piano with bumperstickers and shit all over it, and the guy was dressed up in such a stereotypical "deep punk emo" outfit it was saddening

I give up. When people consider this image-driven P.O.S. music is actually music, music is dead.

This isnt the only thing that isnt music. Here's what else isnt music:

-The genre "Noise"
-The "Hardcore" Genre where a guy screams over the same 2 powerchords for 3 minutes
- Rapping. Now keep in mind I have extreme respect for rappers, and rapping requires real talent (unlike the above 2), but it's not musical, its a thing within its own

I give up, good music is virtually dead.

Music is not dead, there is plenty of great music being created still, but there is alot more crap around now.

I dont really care about why you dont like them. You have your own opinion and thats fine. I could care less that you dont like them. Theyre not even one of my favorite bands. I just thought if anyone did care about them, i would let them know about how sick Andrew is. Thats all...

And it was very kind of you to do that

Just ignore maximan


Max why don't you do something more adapted to your anatomy and intellect, go fuck a hermit crab!

[maximan]

I feel very sorry for the guy, but if you see someone above me asked why people dont like them, so I replied.

[Lost_Forever]

I didnt say "please tell me why you dont like them! UGH!" All i said was "I dont get why some people dont like them." I didnt ask for why you did. It was simply just a statement. And once again, i dont care that you dont like them. Thats fine, go ahead. I could care less.

[little paper airplanes]
