News on Paramore's 3rd Studio Album (taken from the RollingStones.com)
As 2008 winds down, Paramore are celebrating the success of their contributions to the Twilight soundtrack and making plans to record their third full-length LP. “The only thing I know for a fact is that it’s in the very earliest stage possible,” lead singer Hayley Williams says. That disclaimer aside, Williams said the band will be holing up in their native Tennessee to work on the new album, after recording their last two LPs in Orlando and Elmwood Park, NJ. “It’s time to be home, and play music at home,” she says. “I think we’re really going to gain a lot from that.” The decision also means any possible collaborators (Williams says the band has narrowed down their list of possible producers) will be heading to Nashville.
“I have a lot to say this time around, and there’s a lot of things I thought I knew that I was absolutely wrong about,” Williams says. The band’s lives off stage over the past year and a half, including members’ parents getting divorced and break-up rumors following the cancellation of a European tour, have resulted in trying times. “Things happened that are very normal, but they were so magnified by distance and being busy,” Williams says. “I can’t believe we’ve made it out of this, and I feel we’re stronger because of it.”
The band hopes the record will be out late next summer, and Williams says it’s too early to tell if Paramore’s new material will resemble the darker tunes featured in Twilight. “We’re definitely not going to rush anything or force songs out,” she says. “There are moments I didn’t know what was going to happen, and I’m just proud of where we are now.”

So much to look forward to!!
If Paramore's "Decode" wasn't kick ass enough they have another single for the sound track of Twilight titled "I Caught Myself" I'm a HUGE fan of Paramore! So yah, as you can see I have another count down counter for the premier of their video Decode. Here are some snap shots from their video Decode; Paramore started shooting the video on Oct 13th and it will premier on Nov 3rd! Can't wait! If you're intrested to hear the song, well my player is playing it.

Hayley Williams from Paramore is a huge Twilight fan and recently talked about her love of the books and the song's title:
"Twilight is the first series of books I've ever read. I didn't get into the Harry Potter series even though I love the movies. Twilight really caught my attention and held it. I'm really excited to see the book adapted to film and excited that our band gets to be a part of the phenomenon. I chose the title "Decode" because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward. Bella's is the only mind Edward can't read and I feel like that's a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It's one added tension that makes the story even better." -- Hayley Williams, Paramore - taken from Stephenie Meyer's official website.

The Jonas Brothers - making the vid of Burning Up and official vid
I truly admire the boys for their talent and their devotion to their music and their fans and their strong Christian's and they set a good example. Some fans get wet watching them, I just feel really happy whenever I see them just being themselves and showing off their God given talent.
XOXO

New Addiction: The Jonas Brothers - A Little Bit Longger
Yes strange but this is the first time I'm actually enjoying listening to happy songs. Why I say that? Well I guess it's cause the songs I listen to are always hardcore rock or songs that screams out to those ass holes who ruin your life, well pretty much angry songs. But their songs are hardcore upbeat tempo and fun. And I love it HAHAX!

Goody two shoes
By IAN YEE
The people opposed to Avril Lavigne’s concert here would be pretty embarrassed when they find out she’s actually more Miley Cyrus than Alanis Morissette.
Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
This writer thinks that should be our anthem the next time people try to manipulate a concert for their own political agenda because after watching last Friday’s Avril Lavigne concert at Stadium Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur, those people who were opposed to it would feel pretty embarrassed once they find out what Avril is really like.

It could be our way of reminding them, like “hey you remember when you botched up over that Avril Lavigne concert? Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?”
The thing is, some obviously uninformed people seem to have this impression of Avril as the angst-ridden teenager, the guitar-trashing punk-rocker or a head-banging junkie.
Oh, please. Don’t tell me you actually thought Avril was like that. Doesn’t mean that because she whacked her Les Paul into some poor guy’s windshield in the Sk8ter Boi video that she’s really some violent, dangerous musician in person? And sorry to shatter all you guys’ dreams out there, but no, she probably doesn’t really skate either.
But I’m telling you, once the 23-year-old Canadian star took to the stage at Stadium Merdeka, the first thing you’d notice was how charming this young lady is. Her voice is almost as sweet as the way she looks, and she never really yelled or screamed to get the crowd going – just cajoling us to sing or wave along.
And when someone as charming as that, singing those annoyingly infectious tunes, asks you to go along with her, you really can’t help but feel compelled to. The 15,000-strong crowd, mostly teens and young adults, were raring for a good night out.
And it really was, a very uncomplicated concert – very simple setting, few musicians, and a few back-up dancers for certain songs. In other words, it was really Avril, which I’m sure was great fun for the throngs of Avril supporters who were there screaming as she went through hits from her three albums.
It started out with a surprisingly subdued, but fun rendition of Girlfriend, and I have to say – Avril is just so adorable! I can’t believe some of those people who protested against her could actually bring themselves to label someone as cute as her, as a threat to our culture and National Day celebrations.
For that first song, she did some of those dance moves fromthe MTV video, and it was just, so, cute! That pretty much set the tone for the rest of the concert as she remained slightly subdued, but yet charming and extremely likeable throughout the night.
I particularly enjoyed the acoustic set in the middle where she showed a bit more of her sensitive side, singing songs like Don’t Tell Me and When You’re Gone. The intimate feel of that part of the concert highlighted Avril’s vocals a bit more, and she managed to deliver pretty well.
Which is why I still don’t really get where this whole assumption that Avril can’t sing comes from. Maybe there’re some YouTube videos of her handling a show badly or something, but on the night, she acquitted herself rather decently. I won’t say she’s a great singer, but she’s definitely good enough to be on stage.
The acoustic set in particular, seemed to be more of Avril’s comfort zone, as she is after all more of a self-taught singer than a professional stage vocalist. The odd difficulty in some big notes aside, I thought she was every bit the accomplished performer. Maybe if she focused more often on her vocals like she did in the acoustic set rather than her jumping around breathlessly to those rock hits, then there’d be fewer accusations of her being a poor singer.
But all in all, I’d have to say this concert was more Miley Cyrus than it was Alanis Morissette in terms of rock factor. And by Alanis Morissette, I mean angry, Jagged Little Pill Alanis. Honestly, I think Miley even packs a bigger punch in her concerts, while Avril is surprisingly, much more intimate, working the crowd by relating with them and talking with them like just another girl next door.
That’s probably the reason why she’s outlasted so many of her peers like Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch. She’s into her third album, and she’s still a bankable star. And that’s because while other female solo artistes out there are more intent on overplaying their celebrity status by being tailed by the paparazzi, or seen at exclusive clubs, Avril prefers to keep it real. And judging by her performance here in Malaysia, that’s something that won’t be changing anytime soon.
If you asked me, that’s the best thing that she can do.
So now tell me again, why’d you have to make things so complicated?
