Don't Panic Return with "Fall of '99" Music Video, "No Time for Second Chances" Lyric Video & FacebookLive Performance (self-released)

Don't Panic are a Rock "N" Roll/Power Pop band hailing from Northeast, Pennsylvania and founded in 2009. Don't Panic's current line-up consists of guitarist/frontman Ted "Panic" Felicetti, bassist Keith Slader, drummer Anthony Paesano, and guitarist AJ Larsen. I believe, I saw Don't Panic at one of their first shows at Hangar 84 right here in Vineland, NJ around 2009-10 on a tour behind their debut EP, My Fairweather Friend. It appears as though Don't Panic were active for a little while longer, released a follow-up crowd-funded demo EP called The Fix, a 2-track EP entitled Why The Fifties Were Better, went through some line-up changes, and broke up... but have no fear, Don't Panic have since re-formed and are back in full-force!!! From what we can gather, it sounds like Don't Panic will be self-releasing a series of singles, which will, eventually, be re-released as a more full-length project later this year. Don't Panic list Foo Fighters, Face to Face, Lit, Bayside, White Reaper, The Menzingers, RIVAL SCHOOLS, Electric Light Orchestra, Tom Petty, and The Beatles amongst their influences on Facebook. Frontman Ted "Panic" Felicetti is, also, a booking agent for The Queers, Screeching Weasel, The Ataris, and Richie "Ramone" Reinhardt (The Ramones) under his company umbrella, New Gold Agency.

Last month, Don't Panic premiered a lyric video for their first new single since re-forming, "No Time for Second Chances," at NEPA Scene. Felicetti told NEPA Scene the video was created using Fiverr with the help from an Asian artist, who writes out lyrics using Sharpies. "I think, essentially, [this song is] a good representation of what we have going on. I wrote this one trying to get the vibe, if you mixed Millencolin with Thin Lizzy, what that would it sound like? But, yeah, more or less, we have some slower songs and some heavier ones, but nothing strays too much from that Rock "N" Roll/Power Pop sound we’ve been trying to cultivate," Ted Felicetti explained to NEPA Scene. Now, just about a month later, Don't Panic have returned once more with their second new single, "Fall of '99," accompanied by a proper music video. As its title suggests, within "Fall of '99," Don't Panic seemingly reminisce about some of their favorite moments from 1999; Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time" music video, Limp Bizkit, Magic Mike, Friday The 13th, and all sorts of hi-jinx during Talent Show Auditions. Amidst the global COVID-19 Pandemic, Don't Panic have announced a special acoustic performance to be held tonight, March 24, 2020, at 7:00pm EST streaming on FacebookLive. Don't Panic will be "playing brand new songs, as well as some old ones, taking requests, and answering any questions." Don't Panic's "Fall of '99" & "No Time for Second Chances" are both now available on digital streaming platforms.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
