Nostalgic Music

You are what you love
Not who loves you
In a world full of the word yes
I'm here to scream
-"Save Rock and Roll", Fall Out Boy

I was exposed to music at an early age. I grew up listening to bands like The Beatles and The Eagles (which are two pretty awesome bands to grow up listening to, I'll admit). My parents were both musically inclined having both been in band in high school. Music was (and still is) a way of life our household.


In May of 2007 I had just finished my last day of high school. I was in the weird transition that my high school did between the senior class's last day of classes and graduation...a period of around two weeks. My friends and I worked to fill those two weeks with awesome things to do. It was in that two week period that I got to go to my first concert.


Fall Out Boy had recently come out with their third album and my friends and I were, for lack of a better word, obsessed. We each had the album in our cars and we blasted it as we drove around town celebrating not being in school anymore. When we had found out a few months earlier that the tour would be coming to Ohio, we had immediately purchased tickets.


I haven't thought much about that concert until recently. I haven't had a reason to...Fall Out Boy disappeared for a few years and my tastes in music evolved and I started listening to more musicals and other kinds of music that took me away from the rock genre I had loved so much in high school.

With the recent announcements of a new tour, new album, and the group being back together, I've found myself listening to their music once more.

It's still as awesome as it was in high school....just with the added nostalgia piece.

This new album is going to be awesome. I think I've found my summer mix.
