Tom put AvA’s new song out tonight a little early… Here are the lyrics, or at least what I heard after a few listens – should be close. Download link at the bottom.

And look real close ‘cross the winds and the roads
It is there to decode, will you fly as a ghost
Or a spark to explode – it’s the start of the show
It’s the part you love most where your heart will implode

And do you believe in hallucinations,
Silly dreams or imagination?
Don’t go away ’cause I feel you this time
Don’t go away ’cause I need you there this time

As the wind floats home, carry us back to shore
And up the mountainous coast where the sun starts to glow
From our head to our toes, to the stars that we know
And with you as my hosts it will keep us afloat

Again…
And do you believe in hallucinations,
Silly dreams or imagination?
Don’t go away ’cause I feel you this time
Don’t go away ’cause I need you there this time

Do you believe in hallucinations,
Any dream or it’s revelation?
Don’t go away ’cause I need you there this time
Don’t go away ’cause I needed you all my life

The science is taxing, I’m waiting for something
There’s images of love and war and everything’s here to explore
It’s all alike, unusual, a different place but beautiful
And it is not quite as it seems, I hear the children’s laughs and screams

(It’s beautiful, so beautiful, it’s beautiful)

Do you believe in hallucinations,
Silly dreams or imagination?
Don’t go away ’cause I feel you this time
Don’t go away ’cause I need you there this time

Do you believe in hallucinations,
Any dream or it’s revelation?
Don’t go away ’cause I need you there this time
Don’t go away ’cause I needed you all my life

(All my life, I needed you all my…)

P.S. – This song ends on the same synth chord that’s at the end of Adam’s Song/beginning of All the Small Things. Fuckin weird things I notice…

Grand Theft Auto Iv comes out next Tuesday. That’s just five days away! But you couldn’t wait, could you? Not even a week.

Well, the game was leaked on to torrent sites and has been confirmed to work – but you idiots couldn’t stop there, eh? Had to jump into the online play? Well that was dumb. You do know that all of your Live stats are recorded?

So not only does Microsoft know you have a pirated version of the game, they know your Xbox 360 is modded to play it! Good luck with that one. You’re about to meet Mr. Ban-hammer, me thinks.

Ahh, Death Cab for Cutie’s Narrow Stairs. Just one of the albums I’m extremely excited for so early in the music game for 2008. You can hear one of the upcoming tracks via NPR. This is a very explosive track for Death Cab and definately a new direction – we’ll have to see where they take us when the album releases this May.

Kotaku posted an article a few days ago that was supposedly in-game footage of Sonic Unleashed for the next-gen consoles – and shortly there-after receieved a letter from Sega’s lawyers requesting the content be removed.

For those of you that don’t spend a lot of time in internet land (or lack common sense), this was basically confirmation that the content was in fact authentic.

Okay, like everyone I played Nintendo followed by the SNES when I was younger, but not my own – I had a Sega Genesis (Masterdrive). Sonic was my Mario but he’s been sucking it up at the next-gen scene. Have you seen Sonic Galaxies yet? Didn’t think so.

What’s exciting about this? They decided to do a scroller, the way Sonic’s meant to be played. But it’s not all about speed, it’s all about timing. This is like a revamped Sonic game of old, and even the music is more in tune with how the older games sounded. I’m pretty pumped to see where this game might go. Some classic gameplay with some new tricks in the graphics and physics department? Yeah. This could be good.

I’m listening to a stream of the new Panic! at the Disco album and I wasn’t expecting to like this album to be honest, but may be having a change of heart. It’s not all sins, tragedies, & martyrdom with breakfast nails.

The lyrics are broader in depth than A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out and are accompanied by a variety of instruments, from strings to horns and of course some more piano.

I’m not sure that the album will thrill everyone who loved the bands first effort but it’s a great album that may in fact substantiate their mainstream push. It’s nice to be over the shotgun wedding scene.

Check out my favorite, The Green Gentlemen, and the rest of Pretty. Odd. on MTV’s Leak.
