Yeah, there's always that conscious effort to not overtalk about Muse (or anything else) for fear of being perceived as an obsessive weirdo. I know what that's like.

When you mentioned he was one of the winners, I went to AFI's website and found him among the five winners, and figured he must be Scott, since he's the only one from Honolulu.

That radio contest was really a miraculous stroke of luck because I usually never win anything! Jimmy Eat World was my second concert I've ever been to, but it was the first time I was caught in a crowd surge. I was with my sister and some friends, and my sister in particular couldn't handle it so we had to go outside for a few minutes to recuperate. But otherwise the concert was awesome. This was when I was just getting into them so the show helped grow my interest in them further, especially since they played a few b-sides I wasn't familiar with at the time. Plus the guys of Jimmy Eat World are really friendly, laidback guys, so it was cool we got to meet them.

YCHISMB took a few listens for it to grow on me. I've been listening to the album in order and now I'm at the point where I'm actually having a hard time skipping tracks because I like most of the songs on the album. "Do You Want To" is so friggin' catchy! I also love "The Fallen" and "Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On," and right now, I have "Walk Away" stuck in my head.

FF has more music videos than I thought. They don't have a LOT, but hadn't seen most of them. I stumbled upon this website: http://franzferdinand.co.hu/videok. I like saving videos to my laptop though, but I only managed to find a torrent for the "Walk Away" video. A few of the others are for sale on iTunes, but I usually check to make sure they aren't available for free anywhere else before purchasing.
