The result of listening to my ipod in shuffle mode - surprise! So I'm sharing my shuffle. Jack's Mannequin is a piano rock band from Orange County, California. A side project of Andrew McMahon, originally from Something Corporate, the band was formed in 2004 and released their first album in August 2005. In June of that year, McMahon was diagnosed with late stage acute lymphoblastic leukemia, b...
MUSIC NEWS - Andrew McMahon of Jack's Mannequin has let it out that he's going to hit the road this fall on his own, for a brief October solo tour of him and a piano (full itinerary below). The tour is to help raise awareness about his deeply personal documentary film Dear Jack which chronicles the year that Andrew, then 22, spent battling leukemia while trying to release Jack's Manne
*Cut: Miranda Sex Garden* - Evanessence wishes they (she) could sound like MSG on their best day !! *Somethin’ Hot: Afghan Whigs* – they are the epitome of hot to me. It’s all about the sex in his voice & in those guitars! I love this quote from Jason Ankeny: (Who else would deliver a lyric like "I got the devil in me, girl" as though it were a pickup line?)*Early to Bed: Morphine* – Dag

we've all had those moments where music really helped us get through something. but when i titled this post "music saves lives" thats not what i meant. im mogging today about a cause near and dear to my heart, and one that i think everyone should know about.music saves lives in a nonprofit that helps link music and people with causes that save lives every day. music saves lives helps to sign p...
Permalink this one guys, it's for your own goodI have an enormous obsession with Andrew McMahon and everything he does. Jack's Mannequin is one of these things. Andrew McMahon is the lead singer/pianist of known piano rock band/my reason for breathing Something Corporate. Jack's Mannequin is his side project/my reason for seeing and living life the way I want to. I am obsessed.So it was only na...
Yes, friends. It is once again a post from me about Jack's Mannequin.Forgive me, but it is currently an obsession.This entire day was amazing for me. For one, I won the meet and greet contest. Do you realize I have never won anything before in my life? No, you don't. I lose everything I enter. To have won this was amazing in my world. I am still sitting here, pondering how it happened actually....
Sorry guys, it's another fangirl(ish) blog because well, it's a Jack's Mannequin one haha.Title is because I have now seen Jack's three times.Here's the deal: last night I drove an hour to the HP Pavilion in San Jose to see Jack's Mannequin who were opening for Panic! At The Disco. Yeah. That's right. I did NOT go to see Panic! I went to see the opener, Jack's. That is really the only reason I ...
Alright, I know I've posted a bunch today, but oh well. Jack's Mannequin is amazing. For those of you who haven't heard this album you should really go get it. Jack's Mannequin is led by frontman Andrew McMahon of Something Corporate. He stays true to his original glory for meaningful, somewhat emo lyrics and great melodies. Somethiing Corporate fans should be highly satisfied by this albu...
I saw Jack's Mannequin last night and they were UH-mazing!! As usual. But, unfortunately, I must start this post where the story starts... in a crowd of sweaty, squealing, whining 13-year-old girls wearing Hollister t-shirts and New Found Glory sweatshirts. Boo. That's the only bad thing about really loving a band who also seems to be the favorite band of middle schoolers the world over. Okay, ...
Being the obsessive Andrew McMahon fan that I am, I ordered pre-sale tickets to see Jack's Mannequin the second they went on sale. I couldn't help it. I was totally freaking out. Anyway, I just got an email saying that because I ordered pre-sale tickets I get a special wristband that allows me to enter the venue before the doors open to non-presale buyers!!! YAAAAAY! That means I can get way up...
2005. This was probably the strangest year for me in the past four, due mostly to the fact that most of the albums that have ended up on the list three years after the fact weren't there to begin with. In fact, a few of these albums I didn't even hear until this year. Anyway, here we go. 1. Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit This is without a doubt one of the most well written records of...
I begin to feel the gradual growth of neutrality inside my organs. The world seems so dull and bleak, it's gradually slipping out of focus while i stall through these empty days. I'm here trying to fill in my bitterness by creating an image that i wish i could be surrounded by.It's subliminally amazing how music can inspire your vision. I was listening to Jack's Mannequin when i made that graph...
