Album Review
Lyrics to inscribe in your high school yearbook.
The Academy Is... - Fast Times At Barrington High
Posted by Scott Heisel on 04-Aug-08 @ 01:52 PM
There's no getting around the fact that the Academy Is... write catchy pop songs. A cursory listen of their third full-length album, Fast Times At Barrington High, and any number of hooks could be stuck in your head. From the repetitive "forever young" line ("Summer Hair = Forever Young") to "I'm not in love/This is not your song" ("About A Girl") to the days-of-the-week countdown on "His Girl Friday", initially there seems plenty to sing along with. Unfortunately, the songs start to blend together as the disc progresses, and once the music has stopped, it's not as easy to individually recall any of the songs.
Musically, TAI-frontman William Beckett, guitarists Michael Guy Chislett and Mike Carden, bassist Adam Siska and drummer Andy "the Butcher" Mrotek-aren't doing anything out of the realm of 2005's Almost Here and last year's Santi. Most of the songs are vibrant pop, with the occasional ballad ("After The Last Midtown Show") thrown in to bring down the pace. But what they do, they do well, so there's not necessarily a compelling reason to step outside their comfort zone. They do use some interesting, almost robotic vocal effects on the intro to "Crowded Room." and "After The Last Midtown Show" is more touching than "Everything We Had," the balled from Santi.
Thematically, TAI do have an interesting concept. Focusing on their high school experiences in the Chicago suburbs (the title's a reference to Beckett and Siska's high school), many of the songs will ultimately speak to their core audience. Plus, high school is a rather universal experience for the most part, so many of their older fans will be able to easily relate to the stories of getting picked on by jocks and slipping notes to cute girls in the hall.
If anything, though, the timing seems a little strange. The album seems to champion looking back on school (as in the end of the school year, getting ready to start summer, rather than an album set at the end of the summer looking toward the next year). Audiences may've been better served if they had the whole summer to play these tunes-as they are made for driving with the windows down on a hot summer night. Either way, previous Academy Is... fans will surely dig the tunes, but Fast Times is probably not the album that will see the band expand their scope too far out of the high school/Warped Tour crowd.

"Feck You!"
fave movie of the moment:Almost Famous, oldie but goodie!!
fave song at the moment Thinking of you!
Comparasons are easily done
once you've had a taste of perfection
like an apple handing from a tree
I pick the ripest on i still got the seed
you said move on where do i go
I guess second best is all i will know
cause when im with him i am thinking of you, thinking of you
what you would do if
you were the one who was spending the night
oh i wish that i was looking into your eye
you're like an indian summer in the middle of winter
like a hard candy with a surprise center
how do i get better once ive had the best
you said there's tons of fish in the waters
so the waters i will test
he kissed my lips i taste your mouth
he pulled me in, i was discussed with myself
cause when im with him i am thinking of you, thinking of you
what you would do if
you were the one who was spending the night
oh i wish that i was looking into your....
the best and oh i do regret
how could i let myself let you go
and now, now the lessons learned
i touched and i was burned
oh i think you should know
cause when im with him i am thinking of you, thinking of you
what you would do if
you were the one who was spending the night
oh i wish that i was looking into your eye, your eyes, your eye
wont you walk through and
bust down the door and take me away no more mistakes
cause in your eyes i'd like to stay (brings tears to my eyes)
SCARF of the day!!!

Art
THE STUDY OF ART IS MORE than acquiring a repertoire of studio techniques; it is an education in intellectual judgment, philosophical understanding, and ethical principles sufficient to engage the often bewildering complexity of contemporary life.
anyone interested in attending University of the Arts....Scholarship
The Robert Posner Scholarship - $1,500.00
Born of an American mother and a Columbian father, Robert Posner spent his short lifetime being different: Jewish in
Catholic Columbia; gay in the machismo Latin American world; an immigrant with a Spanish accent; and an artist in a time
where fancy cars are more prized than visual works of art. It was in this different world that Robert Posner lived, struggled
and eventually succeeded in his attempt to bring beauty through art. His life’s desire was to be an artist and, while he
eventually achieved that goal, his true legacy was his ability to give to others, especially those less fortunate.
Robert Posner was a generous man. His biggest generosity came from his heart, a heart too big for the body it was
placed. It is in tribute to the man and his heart that those who were touched by him repay that generosity with the
establishment of this fund and its awards.
The Robert Posner Artists Fund was established at the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund in 2006. The Delaware Valley
Legacy Fund (DVLF) serves to advance philanthropy within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex
communities.

"Well done, as always, my friend"
Im a bit salty about the fact that I will not be able to watch William Beckett perform at the signing. I wasn't part of the 30 first people. Im thankful to finally get to meet him though. Just talking about it gives me that pit feeling in my stomatch! More on that later. As of now I have a midterm to study for.
PS. he is classy;) and he brought it back already!
