Good morning it is now 6:00 am on a Thursday morning.

Been the happiest these couple of days because Billam (William Beckett of The Academy Is...) is playing a show this June! Do you have any idea how HUGE that news is? No? Ok, let me enlighten you with how crazy I was for them (The Academy Is...) dated waaaaaay back in 2005.

Circa 2005 I went crazy finding new songs/bands, through p2p mostly but if I recall correctly, I was introduced to TAI from a friend, he suggested that I should take a listen to Attention, Attention and I was hooked ever since.
--
I remembered logging into countless theacademyis forums, trying to find their fans from Malaysia (and actually met one IRL (at some random gig)! Woop), my myspace statuses were all about their lyrics "Hold your head high heavy hearts" being the most favorite. I got flippin' excited when Santi was finally out because Almost Here was that good to make me want to listen more of their stuff. I remembered voting in to ask them to come play in Malaysia (but they went to Singapore instead boo) (and this was actually the time where Malaysia was just a tiny dot on the map. I'm not even kidding, no internationals, very few gigs), oh and did I mention I went hysteric upon finding out some random college kid used Almost Here cover design for a poster for this one college program, I remembered how hard I asked around just to find out who was responsible for that and when I found out who (a guy), I developed a tiny crush on him just because of that poster design. Heh heh heh. crazy fangirl is crazy.
--
But then, Fast Time... was meh, so I stopped listening to them for a few years... and then sometime last year, TAI disbanded and I was devastated. Ive read on how they decided to do so and it was heartbreaking, to say the least. Having Billiam, suddenly making a decision to tour here is BIG. BIG BIG BIG!

Yes, TAI might not be your typical 'legendary' bands per se, but they were my post-school music man. My 18y/o would die of excitements if she knew this could even happen! *musicdorkmusicdorkmusicdork*
