Seriously, I'm trying to get as many people to participate in this as I can. It's a video for Coffee's For Closers, by Fall Out Boy.

The aim is to stop labels, discrimination, hate, racism, anything of that sort and you can go here and check out the details and F.A.Q. about it.

Thank you everyone!

Ever want to be a part of something that could maybe change the world? How about be in a Fall Out Boy video?

 

I've been told that only weak people need to call for help, but I know that it takes someone strong person to be able to ask for help when they truly need it. Weak or strong, I still need all of you camera loving kids out there to help me out with something and be part of a Fall Out Boy video(Not official video with FOB, but the inspiration and song playing will be.) for (Coffee's For Closers) aka CFC. I've been working on a video idea for a while and, the truth is, I haven't had the time or focus to pull it off.

Now, I'm calling on ALL of you that are my myspace friends to help me, and get your friends to help me out as well. No, it's not because I'm lazy, but the post: here will further explain why I need so many people to help me out.

All you need is a camera, a computer, a label and an email and we might get this thing going! If we want to stop this, then we have to work together and actually do it! I'd love anything you can give, and I will not judge you on how you look or how loud you are, or anything. Truthfully, I'm just glad to have you help me. lol

 

CFC! I will never believe in anything again!

xo, Dani.

2009 has so far been thrilling, chilling, and fullfilling...and it's only half over. This summer is set, bands are coming back with new albums, which is great for music enthusiasts, but there are a few things that might be overlooked. In all of this hell fire glory, and enthusiastic joy there are two new acts that might be making your list of new favorites this summer.

 

First, being the spunky 26-year-old singer Julie budet, more infamously known as 'Yelle'. Though she sings in French, her style is a bit of Twiggy meets 80's, and her dance moves are a bit foreign, Yelle is one of the most enjoyable sounds you'll pleasure your ears with. Her beats are up-beat and her slightly tech-pop sound is sure to get you moving on the dancefloor, and makes a perfect track for any party. Aside from her authentic sound, 'Yelle' also has quite the perspective on things. Her single 'je voir te voir', originally titled 'short dick cuizi' is mocking a member of the Persian hip-hop band TTC, Cuizinier.

If her sound isn't enough to draw you to give her a listen, then maybe a few of her accomplishments will. Yelle has worked with many popular artists such as Katy Perry, has been added to the music lists of Gap and H&M(as well as being part of H&M's 'Fight Against Aids' clothing campaign.), and is also the rep of the Paris model of Reebok Freestyles, Worldcities.

If you're into something new, something with a sound of it's own, then I highly suggest you give her a listen before your friends can't stop talking about her.

And second, the adorably history inclined Chester French, named after 'Daniel Chester French' who build the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. After the duo, made up of Maxwell Drummey and D.A. Wallach(orignally with others who later left), met in Harvard University, they followed their dreams to become musicians. After winning battle of the bands, they dropped their first EP, "Chester French's first love", but moved along to compose demos with Ryan Leslie that would be supported by the likes of Kanye West and Perez Hilton.

With their strange mix of synth, R&B, surfer rock, guitar and pop, Chester French is one of the most Urban sounding bands to date. Of coarse, if you've heard "She Loves Everybody" and "Jimmy Choos" you'd probably be quite surprised they're by the same band. Never-the-less, they are more then worthy to grace your ears.

why dont you wait until you hear both sides of the damn story before you pass judgement on ryan ross? most of you claim to be such good fans, then why the hell are you dissing him. its stupid. its rude. and its not what real fans do.

Well, I'm back and ready for some crazy new shit this year! I was thinking about a monroe peircing, a few Mikey shirts, and maybe platinum blonde? It's kind of refreshing to think about, but I might go black for a while before I actually go blonde, especially after my hair come out crappy last night.

Never try to do your own hair blonde. Ever. Make sure you have someone do it who knows that they're doing, or it will come out looking like shit. hahaha

Anyways, it's official that I'm going to go and see Semi Precious Weapons in March! Whoo. So I think I'll go blonde before that, to support Justin in my own little way. :)

Top 4 hair colors I would like to try:
-Platinum
-Black
-Purple
-Lime Green

Top 5 reasons the new Fall Out Boy album kicks total ass:
-Brendon Urie singing in 20 Dollar Nose Bleed(holla!)
-Patrick Stump's range.
-Let's hear it for America's suitehearts!(Lyrics)
-The music is as amazing as always. Maybe even better this time.
-The teddy bear on the cover, which I find fucking amazing.

I also got the most amazing swag for christmas. A hoodie/sweater/shirt that's neon and pretty that I wear as a dress because it's so damn long, Piano key socks, and my red baby stilletos. I also got other things, but they aren't as special hahaha just kidding.
:D

What did everyone else get for christmas? I'm curious.

Coffee Run, I'm going to go work my horribly dyed hair!

Dani California ^-^

I haven't been on in a while, so I just thought I'd update with a quant "Hello" and a nice "Happy Holidays."

I've been really busy, what with the opening of Dani B. Industries and the soon to be launch of "Electrick Ducttape" <- me and my buddy Shannon (heartbreakcassettetape/cassettetapeheartbreak)'s new clothing line. I've just learned how to make poodle skirts and appliques so I'm definately going to be making a whole ton of Uber chic ones. ^.^

As for pictures, I need new official photos, my hair isn't pink in the front anymore. :D And I wear a lot of beanies now. Any awesome photographers nearby who'd be willing to take some awesome pictures of me?
