1. I got home from school today and pulled up my profile.
G...........................................Fsus2...........................
I have a slow computer, so it's taking quite a while.
G....................................................................Fsus2...............................
Facebook makes a popping sound when someone wants to chat.
G................................................. ................Fsus2.......................C.......D...
I have to turn the volume down cuz my roommates don't like that. CHORUS

2. Shane got off his mission, he’s got 42 friends and counting.
He uses the “people you might know” tool and the number keeps on mounting.
His boss, his sister’s husband, some random guy named Tom,
the mailman some mission buddies, and Michael Phelps’ mom. CHORUS

3. New crush just accepted me. I click to see his page.
Check his wall, status, info, pictures and his age.
I looked at his relationship and to my dismay:
I thought he was into me, but dang it all, he’s gay.

Chorus':
Poke poke. It was only a joke joke joke jaja joke joke.
His roommates wrote the lies that had me traumatized.
He doesn’t really swing that way so don’t believe all that they say….on Facebook.

4. Facebook finally loaded. It took most of this song.
I have more than a thousand friends. If you think I’m lying you’re wrong.
Facebook is both a noun and verb as everyone can see.
The reason for the song I wrote is to tell you to facebook me. CHORUS

"Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with.

Someone finally understood you.

This is what music is about."

- Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance

Shake Your Peace

SHAKE YOUR PEACE! is one of my favorite bands because

1. The travel by bikes and public transportation instead of a band van

2. They generate their own power for microphones and amps by pedaling a bike instead of using an outlet

3. They plant a tree for each CD they make

4. They are based out of a camping tent on the roof of a pink house in SanFrancisco's Mission District.

5. Their website is hosted with 100% wind & solar power by Thinkhost.

6. Their music ROCKS!

Because they are self-sufficient they can have concerts anywhere. This means free concerts are held at various parks and outdoor settings.

I've already spent a fair amount of time on their website, falling even more in love with their awesome ways of music. I strongly urge you to check it out. More music is available on their myspace page. I am particularly fond of "Arms of a Gypsy".

Their CD sleeves are made of recycled paper and printed with soy ink. Audience members can assemble these sleeves by sewing the two sides together with yarn. See pictures of them here.

Music + Great Outdoors = Pure Happiness
