Official "New Horizons" Album Art

*cue fangirling*

So the 100% official, legit cover artwork for Flyleaf's "New Horizons" has just been released! I am pretty sure I freaked out when I saw it. Pretty sure, at least. It's so amazing! Seriously, click it and admire all of the detail. Like "Memento Mori," this cover art was also created by Flyleaf's bassist, Pat Seals.

Oh, and as a bonus, I found the track listing!

 01. Fire Fire
02. New Horizons
03. Call You Out
04. Cage On The Ground
05. Great Love
06. Bury Your Heart
07. Freedom
08. Saving Grace
09. Stand
10. Green Heart
11. Broken Wings

October 30 cannot come soon enough!

"O God Save Us All"

Hey! So I checked Disciple FB page today (cause I have ways of doing that) and I see a little announcement about a card you can get that allows you to download some new songs in advance! So I, being the cheapscape/genius I am, go on YouTube and search for "O God Save Us All". I am rewarded with this:

"Outlaws" - Disciple

"Oh God Save Us All" - Disciple

Oh yes. This, just like "Call You Out" did for Flyleaf, jsut reassured me that Disciple is still as heavy as they were on "Scars Remain" and "Horseshoes & Handgrenades". The full album is being released on November 13, literally just weeks after "New Horizons". Oh my gosh I can't wait!

Anyone else as excited as I am?

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I was thinking of doing a total overhaul of my blog's template. Any thoughts?

Generic News and Thoughts That I Think You Should Read Even Though You're Supposed to be Working or Something

Longest title in the history of mankind. Score!

Aaaaand moving right along.

So I'm still trying to get used to the new Blogger interface... I tried to hang on to the old one as long as I could, but I guess this isn't as bad as I thought. Just... I dunno, different. But not like completely alien. It sorta has this Google Docs-ish feel to it, and I happen to use that thing a lot. But anyway, if this thing looks like freakishly formatted, that would be why.

And I'm gonna keep jumping from topic to topic because I can get away with it. I asked my friend the other day if she thinks I have ADD, and she says, "Without a doubt yes."

Next topic of discussion: Music! Yeah, so hopefully you've listened to "Call You Out" and liked it. If you did, I have good news for you! "New Horizons" (the entire album) is going to be realeased on Tuesday, October 30! EXCITED!!
And also, Thousand Foot Krutch finally released their remixes for "Light Up The Sky" and "Let The Sparks Fly"! You can download them here. And while I'm talking about TFK, I would so kill for a wristband that says "Be The Change". Note to self: write TFK an email.

Yes, I've been having an obsession with wristbands lately. I had an OCD moment the other day when I went to my friends' School of Rock show and bought a wristband there. And then I realized I could put wristbands on both of my hands. *slow, sarcastic clapping*.

So yes, there is more still! Click the jump to read it!
You know how tempting it is.
Just click it.

"Call You Out"

Okay, I'll be honest here: I was not having the best morning today. Lack of breakfast maybe, ot it might've been my PE class (I cannot do a "correct" push-up to save my life). Either way, I was feeling pretty pathetic. So I treated myself to homeroom this afternoon, which was okay. At one point, I got a bit bored and decided to check all of my news feeds on my Yahoo! page. And I'm still not a Facebooker, but I do subscribe to some of my bands, Flyeaf in this instance, through my Yahoo! page. Guess what I saw? "Listen then share our latest song 'Call You Out' from out upcoming album 'New Horizons'. What do you think?"
Yep, that made my day better :D
So here's the link to the song: Call You Out - Flyleaf
It's much heavier compared to "New Horizons", which was something I, along with a few friends of mine, had been kinda worried about. I mean, you have "New Horizons", which is a very happy and upbeat song, but what about the other "darker" Flyleaf songs? Well, "Call You Out" just reassured me that there will be some.
And it also made me happy.

Oh, speaking of music, of you haven't gotten TFK's "The End is Where We Begin", it's on sale for $7.99 or something like that on iTunes. Check it out!

Uprise Fest 2012

Did I mention this yet? No? Huh. What's wrong with me?

The main stage from our seats on the
hill. Except we were down there
standing 90% of the time. It was epic.

OH YEAH! Right. So on Saturday (Sept. 15) went on a 2-hour drive out to this Christian music concert known as Uprise Festival. And you better believe it was a blast! It was like a mini Creation Fest basically, it was Friday and Saturday, but it involved camping, so we only went Saturday. Anyway, it was me, my dad, and my friends Jess, Patrick, Libby and Zach. My dad and a bunch of teenagers. Actually, come to think of it, we really weren't all that annoying. Nobody talked on the ride there (I mean it was so early), and everyone slept on the way home. But wither way, it was an awesome time. Seeing Disciple, Thousand Foot Krutch, TobyMac, Peter Furler, Icon For Hire, and a bunch of other bands was totally fun. So um, if you want to hear more about it and maybe see some video links, click the jump.

Front Page AGAIN?

So... woke up late this morning. Walked on treadmill for my PE class (I hate it. Sorry, but I hate it). Took shower. Ate mini bagel. Logged onto computer. Logged into school. Checked Yahoo! feeds. Checked Figment.

Again?! But yeah seriously... "That Band Story" is my book! And it got featured! The funniest thing is though, it's not even a complete story yet. I mean, the whole plot is out and all, but there are some points where I need to put the band's name in (I have yet to think of one) and a song or two. But still... pretty cool! And almost exactly a month after the first time I got featured!

Oh yeah, you can read the story on Figment here.
Or os a Google Doc here.

New Horizons Music Video

Probably my favorite Flyleaf video to date. I absolutely love this!

Oh. Right. So today the music video for Flyleaf's song "New Horizons" was realeased! And it took me a while to find it, so since you're here, I'll save you the trouble:
New Horizons
I watched it twice already. And I'm starting to wonder if the ending has to do with Lacey's birthday (which is today, September 4). I don't know, it's just a thought.
But anyway, enjoy the awesome music video and have a great day!
