Halloween Plans: I have to work on Halloween, but we all dress up at my work because kids come and trick-or-treat in downtown Corbin.  So that day I’m wearing my Ginny Weasley costume that I’ve used in the past.  Saturday the 1st my co-workers are having a Halloween party.  I’m currently making a pirate costume for that occasion….which is quite an interesting experience in itself.  I’m not a master sewer by any stretch of the imagination (expect pictures and maybe even a video from this experience….cause it should be amusing).  And of course I’m going to be at the forum Halloween party!

Submit your Halloween artwork and videos to amanda@lg15.com. 

We’ve decided to extend this week’s Scissors For Lefty/Autographed Cast Member CD for another week!

All you need to do is leave a comment here AND head over to the SFL myspace page and leave a comment about the show.

Multiple entries are always welcome, spread the word!

The following announcement was made from the Hymn of None:

As we move forward in our battle against the enemy, it has become increasingly clear that some of you remain suspect of our intentions. This does not benefit our cause. It is counterproductive and a waste of time. In order to rectify this problem immediately, the Hymn of None has decided to allow one of its most valued agents to appear before you.

This Friday, October 24th at 3 PM PST (6 PM EST), said agent will participate in a live video chat here on LG15.com.

You will be able to ask questions. But know that you may be asked questions in return.

Prepare as you see fit.

Halloween Plans: I’m going to take my toddler cousins out so they can go trick-or-treating and then head to a Halloween party with some friends.

My pick for Sarah’s Costume: Knowing Sarah, I think that she would go with something a little more…. adult…. Like a French maid or something.

“Oh sadder days
No longer, we should celebrate
No Miserables”

Music by: Scissors For Lefty
Recommended Listen: EVERYTHING
Suggested Tracks: Next To Argyle, Give Me Your Brights, Consumption Junction

New Contest Alert! – Autographed Band/Cast Member CD Giveaway, Deadline Saturday October 25th.

THIS WEEEK we continue our three-part showcase of featured music in the show from the best bands appearing this week in the 2008 CMJ Festival in New York City. Now entering the ring, San Francisco’s very own, Scissors For Lefty! I love them. So should you. Ding Ding.

SFL is a favorite band to hail from the potent San Francisco indie scene and one that really has a chance to go all the way. You might have seen them on tour with Arctic Monkeys, Blonde Redhead, Shiny Toy Guns or The Fratelli’s. They get compared to The Killers but I don’t really get why, it’s not even close. A wise man once said, “If Scissors For Lefty were an article of clothing, they just might be your favorite sweater.” They just stick like that, glamour and all. Songs are filled with ecstasy, agony, loneliness and a certain swagger that ties the whole thing together, and it’s beautiful.

New Contest Alert!

One of the many reasons we psyched to be working with Scissors is the chance to preview/debut two brand spanking new songs from their upcoming untitled LP due later this year. This is a real honor for us and we hope you let the guys know how grateful we are to hear them all week in Chapter 6. The guys in SFL will autograph a copy of their brand new record, along with the two cast members of your choice. This will be a one of a kind deal to commemorate the show. Entering is simple. Invade the SFL myspace, LG15 style. Comment, embed, friend, message – you name it. TAKE IT OVER, bring them here. We will be lurking and give the CD to our most active community member with the announcement coming Saturday morning as decided by the band. Commence invasion…now.

On the Fly. Off the Cuff.
Next to Argyle – A classic on anyone’s playlist, including Sarah.

Give Me Your Brights (brand new) – Deep. Fuzz. Dive.

Consumption Junction (brand new) – What have we become?

september2star has gotten into the Halloween spirit and did some LG15-style pumpkin carving.

Many of you will recognize the pumpkin on left has a familiar symbol:

Have you been carving pumpkins? Send pictures to amanda@lg15.com.

Halloween Plans: I am hanging out with my new guy friend, my family, and trick-or-treating with my little sister.

Her pick for Sarah’s Costume: I think Sara would be a seductress-vampire.

And the others? As the people in the forums said, (shout out lol) they could be lurkers, or maybe they could dress like the Hymn of None.  I think Reed should make up random things and then we vote, then they HAVE to be what Reed and us decide lol.

Submit your Halloween artwork to amanda@lg15.com.

Many of you have been asking for more photos of the cast of LG15: The Resistance.  Well, here you go!  You can download these pictures and more on the lg15 flickr account.

Michiev’s plans for Halloween: I’m not planning on going out for Halloween this year, but I did last year even though people say I’m too old. I went dressed up as G.I Joe because it was the only costume i could find!  I walked around for an hour and a half getting candy, it was so worth it.

Her pick for Maggie’s costume: I kind of think Maggie would dress up as a ninja. She just seems to be that type. Oh and the new show? FREAKING AWESOME.

What would Jonas be for Halloween? Jonas would make a great Zombie!

First, let’s get into the spirit.

Pumpkin + LG15 motto = LG15 Halloween

All of this will culminate in a LG15 Halloween party on Thursday, October 30th.  There will be prizes, a haunted house, candy, bobbing for apples, and… actually there will just be prizes. I’m not sure how’d we work that other stuff out.

Get your Dr. Alderman costumes ready and send me your pictures, stories, and videos! Send your submissions to amanda@lg15.com. In the meantime, change your avatar to something scary. I’ll go first.

Music by: Voyager One
Recommended Listen: Afterhours in the Afterlife (LP)
Suggested Tracks: The Future is Obsolete, The Kids Take Control, Darling O.K.

Contest Alert! – Tickets/CD Giveaway, Deadline Wednesday October 15th.

THIS WEEEK we begin a three-part showcase of featured music in the show from the best bands appearing right now in the 2008 CMJ Festival in New York City. Entering the ring first, the space-rock sounds of Seattle’s Voyager One. Ding Ding.

Voyager One mixes one part psychedelic rock, one part groove and zero parts pretention to make their brand of space-infused rock. There is something organic and straightforward about Voyager’s approach to songwriting. There’s an ethereal quality to every song, lots of drone, not too dark-but to the point. Lots of feeling and seemingly removed lyrics. Lots of “wonder” inspired by lots of listening. This is a rare balance that young bands find themselves spending too much time on either side of. Not for Jeramy & Co. The point is clear. Intentionally murky at times, but clear.

Voyager One have appeared at SXSW, CMJ, played live on KEXP’s “Midday Show” and toured with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I caught them for the first time somewhere in between and knew right away they would have a place in The Resistance. The momentum is growing, the blogs have noticed. All aboard!

Even though Voyager One already has a few records under their belt I get the impression that there’s a bigger vision or plan they have yet to track down. It may take another solid record to get there. That said, if we’ve done our jobs right, this week’s episode should help send them on their way.

Contest Alert!

In honor of their Episode this week, the guys in Voyager One donated two copies of “Afterhours” and a pair of tickets to one of their CMJ shows next week in New York City. And how do you win this music and concert tix? Very simple, glad you asked.

Leave a comment on this post before Wednesday the 15th. That’s it. I’d love to know what you think about V1 but you are welcome to tell me anything. We’ll shuffle the names of every commenter who posts before Wednesday and draw the winners. Multiple entries always encouraged and certainly increase your odds. We’ll notify the lucky ones via their page on LG15.com this Thursday.
