Motion City Soundtrack

Check this out(It’s kind of ridiculous):

My brother, his wife & a few of their buddies started a company that gives you nicknames.  This is no joke.  I am dead serious & it rules.  I was not completely sold on the idea at first(nor did I understand it), but after a long day of doing nothing around various coffee shops & mental institutions in Minneapolis I came home to find a meeting of the Panda Crew in my apartment(my sister lives with me & also works for the company).  I watched them do research for several hours on the internet based on answers to a questionnaire on their website that people fill out.  They very cleverly weave all the information gathered from nickname seeking individuals & come up with the perfect one.  This floored me!  They have truly stumbled upon probably the greatest idea of the 21st century.  I believe the cost for their services is somewhere around $15.00 & they send you a bunch of Panda Bite paraphernalia with your new nickname embroidered on it(thanks to the good folks @ Heritage Embroidery & Design located in lovely downtown Stillwater, Minnesota).  I leave you the email they sent me upon completing the creation of my nickname(copyrighted, so don’t even think about it) & their website so you can check it out for yourselves.  They are just a bunch of 20-something year old punks who have real jobs & do this on the side because they are good at it & love it.  I’m way into that idea.  You should be too.  Amen.

Justin Pierre,

Your new Pandabite.com nickname is the SUNDANCE based on the following information from your questionnaire:

At our rehearsal space, the band next door is playing Blackend. Matt flipped out, ran out the door and went for a closer look. True story.

During the writing of our latest record I took an evening off to do some voice work in an upcoming Animated Film called Godkiller. It is written and directed by the sometimes talented Matt Pizzolo. Look him up on IMDB. We wanted to inform any of you that are already going to Comic Con this weekend that there will be shenanigans galore & a signing by some of the cast members of the film(Danielle Harris of Rob Zombie’s Halloween Films & Free Willy, Bill Moseley of The Devil’s Rejects & Honey I Blew Up The Kid, Nicki Clyne of Battlestar Galactica & John Tucker Must Die, & me). I am dropping in a link to the trailer of the film. Be warned! This is 17 & over type of material beyond this point. It involves some seriously twisted shit(which is why I signed on to do it). You have been warned.

Just wanted to let you all know that team MCS is back in the saddle and about to rehearse for the upcoming Blink 182 shows this Thursday and Friday. It is the first time we’ve played some of these songs together in about 9 months. I will really try and start telling you about all the stupid and boring shit my days consist of on a more consistent basis. I promise. Take care and be awesome.

-Justin.
