Bleeding Fiction

I'm listening to Hawthorne Heights' album, The Silence in Black and White, right now. It's pretty good stuff; post-punk with melody. Even though they're less pop-y, they remind me a bit of Good Charlotte, which is sort of odd.

Anyway, I'm listening as I read and the chorus for one of the songs sinks into my head: I know I'm outside your window with my radio. "That's a 'Say Anything' reference," I think to myself. "There's nothing else it can be."

So, I hop to the liner notes and, sure enough, there it is: commentary from the band's frontman, who wrote the song. "I included this in the lyrics, because my favorite movie of all time is Say Anything by Cameron Crowe. My girlfriend and I... watch this all the time. I was pretty much letting her know that no matter what happens, I am not afraid to stand next to an old Malibu holding an old boom box. (If that's what it takes.)"

Awesome!
