History

Origins and signing
The band was formed in the suburban area of Summerlin, Las Vegas, by two childhood friends—Ryan Ross on the guitar and Spencer Smith on the drums. Since the age of thirteen, the two played Blink-182 covers in bands of different formations, according to an interview with Walker and Ross. Ross and Smith then created a band under the name of "Summer League" with two other friends, including Brent Wilson and a guitarist who would later leave the band.
Wilson met Brendon Urie at Palo Verde High School. Wilson asked Urie to try out as guitarist for the fledgling band, as they were looking for a replacement guitarist at the time. Originally, Urie was not the band's lead singer. Rather, the position belonged to current guitarist and lyricist Ross. However, when they heard him sing backup vocals during a rehearsal, they were impressed with his backup vocal abilities and unanimously decided to make him the singer. The band then settled on the name 'Panic! at the Disco.' They lifted the name from the lyrics of a song called "Panic," by Name Taken: Panic at the disco / Sat back and took it so slow / Are you nervous? Are you shaking? / Save compliments to praise compilation / We don't have to feel we fit in / We can move back / We can leave them. Although the band often says that the name comes from the song Panic by The Smiths, it was revealed by them that the Name Taken song did also lend inspiration to the band, but that the song by The Smiths is sometimes easier to explain to those unaware of Name Taken.[citation needed]
The band contacted Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz through LiveJournal and sent him an internet link to their PureVolume site. Wentz took a trip to Las Vegas to meet the band. After seeing them practice, he asked if they would sign with his Fueled by Ramen imprint label Decaydance.

Panic at the Disco released their debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out on September 27, 2005, making a fan base through PureVolume and MySpace, though achieving little commercial recognition. After a consistent presence in PureVolume's top 10 signed artists, and reaching number one in MySpace's indie charts, Panic at the Disco were featured on MTV's Total Request Live on January 17, 2006, where they premiered their music video for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." Featuring Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque and a circus wedding theme, the video débuted at #10 on the TRL countdown, later winning the Video of the Year award at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. The single itself, released April 27, 2006 got to #7 in the US charts.
The band was originally third-billed for the Truckstops & Statelines Winter Tour in early 2006, which was headlined by The Academy Is... and included Acceptance as direct support and Hellogoodbye on the line-up. Due to their increase in popularity before and during the tour, the band ended up getting pushed above Acceptance to second-billed every night playing right before the headliner and "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" outsold The Academy Is...'s debut album, "Almost Here" during the tour.
Their second single, "But It's Better If You Do", was released in the UK on May 1, 2006 where it debuted, and peaked, at #23. The accompanying music video, released the previous month, portrays the band playing in a speakeasy in 1930's America, which, according to Urie, shows "the dark and secluded style of Panic."
The band officially announced the departure of their bassist, Brent Wilson, with a message on the band's website on May 17, 2006. Wilson has since claimed that the decision to leave was not his, and that he was fired without warning for monetary reasons, though the rest of the band deny this.Wilson is now demanding a cut in royalties, and has threatened he will take his former band to court if need be.
Just days after Wilson's departure, the band embarked on their first headlining tour through Europe, with long-time friend, Jon Walker, filling in for the summer tour as a temporary bassist while a permanent replacement was sought. All of the dates were sold out, with some, notably Manchester, selling out in a matter of hours. Upon their return, the band embarked on a two-month North American headlining tour with supporting acts The Hush Sound, OK Go, The Dresden Dolls, and Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque, still retaining Walker as a temporary bassist. On July 3 of that year, the band's MySpace profile was edited to list Walker as bassist/vocals, and he became a permanent member of Panic at the Disco.
The success of their first two singles helped catapult their debut album to the top of the Billboard Independent chart and to #13 on the Billboard 200 in July 2006. The video for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" has been streamed from YouTube almost 9 million times.
Towards the end of July 2006 Panic at the Disco released their third music video, "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off." The video features people with fish tank helmets walking the streets of what appears to be a studio back lot. The video only shows the band in one shot, reportedly because they felt that their looks were distracting from their music.
In early August 2006, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out went Platinum, having sold over one million albums.
During Panic's opening song on August 25, 2006 at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival, an unknown audience member threw a bottle at the stage, which struck and temporarily knocked out Brendon Urie, forcing the band to stop playing. After some minutes, he got back up and shouted to the crowd, "You can't take me out! Let's see how well you guys do with my left side", and continued with the same song.In a phone interview Ryan Ross stated that "We [Panic!] were kinda expecting that [The bottling] going into the Reading, because we heard that that's kinda a tradition they have over there" and then continued by saying that "We walked on and we were kinda expecting that to keep our heads up the whole time, and unfortunately Brendon, he was catching bottles coming towards me and Jon and then he was dodging them himself, and kinda just didn't see one coming that I saw and it got him pretty good, and I dunno that's the only time anything like that's ever happened so hopefully we won't have to worry about anything like that too much."
The band embarked on a world tour in the later part of 2006. It included dates in Australia, New Zealand, and continental Europe. On November 7, 2006, they kicked off their first-ever arena tour with Bloc Party (who shortly dropped out because of drummer Matt Tong suffering a collapsed lung) and Jack's Mannequin. The Plain White T's were added to the next few weeks of The Nothing Rhymes With Circus Tour. They opened up the shows beginning in New York through November 26 in Iowa. After that, Cobra Starship were on the tour through December 9 in San Diego. The band appeared along with Fall Out Boy, Marilyn Manson, and other bands on the special edition soundtrack of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas covering "This Is Halloween", which was re-released in 3D on October 20.
Their final single from A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, "Build God, Then We'll Talk", was released on March 5, 2007. The accompanying music video portrays the fallacy of relationships.
In May 2007 it was announced that a Smashing Pumpkins Tribute LP would be released, compiled by MySpace and Spin. The LP features Panic's cover of "Tonight, Tonight" and was included free in the June 26, 2007 issue of Spin.

My Chemical Romance (commonly abbreviated to MCR) is an American rock band formed in 2001 in Jersey City, New Jersey. The band consists of five members that are Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero, Ray Toro and Bob Bryar. Shortly after forming, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002. They signed with Reprise Records the next year and released their major label debut Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in 2004, the album was a commercial success selling over one million copies. The band followed this success with 2006's The Black Parade, featuring their hit singles, "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", and "Teenagers". The band also filmed a live DVD in Mexico City, which was released on July 1, 2008.[2]

Winnie-the-Pooh, commonly shortened to Pooh Bear and once referred to as Edward Bear, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. The character first appeared in book form in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about Winnie-the-Pooh in the children’s poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.
The hyphens in the character's name were later dropped when The Walt Disney Company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes that became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide.
The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, notably including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Best Seller List, and is the only book in Latin ever to have been featured therein.

Sejarah Valentine

Valentine adalah nama seseorang pemimpin agama Katolik yang telah dianggap menjadi martir ?Islam : Syuhada- oleh orang-orang Kristen (katolik) dan Valentine telah diberi gelar sebagai orang suci (Santo) oleh orang-orang Kristen.Kisahnya bermula ketika raja Claudius II (268 - 270 M) mempunyai kebijakan yang melarang prajurit-prajurit-nya untuk menikah. Menurut raja Claudius II, bahwa dengan tidak menikah maka para prajurit akan agresif dan potensial dalam berperang.Kebijakan ini ditentang oleh Santo Valentine dan Santo Marius, mereka berdua secara diam-diam tetap menikahkan para parujurit dan muda-mudi, lama-kelamaan tindakan mereka diketahui oleh raja Claudius, sang rajapun marah dan memutuskan untuk memberikan sangsi kepada Valentine dan santo Marius yaitu berupa hukuman mati.Sebelum dihukum mati, Santo Valentine dan Santo Marius dipenjarakan dahulu, dalam penjara Valentine berkenalan dengan seorang gadis anak sipir penjara, kemudian gadis ini setia menjenguk valentine hingga menjelang kematian Valentine. Sebelum Valentine dihukum mati, Valentine masih sempat menulis pesan kepada gadis kenalannya, yang isinya :
' From Your Valentine '

Setelah kematian Santo Valentine dan Santo Marius, orang-orang selalu mengingat kedua santo tersebut dan merayakannya sebagai bentuk ekspresi cinta kasih Valentine, dua-ratus tahun kemudian yaitu tahun 496 Masehi setelah kematian Santo Valentine dan Santo Marius, Paus Galasius meresmikan tanggal 14 Pebruari 496 sebagai hari Velentine. Itulah sejarah hari Valentine yang ternyata untuk mengenang dan memperingati dua orang suci Kristen Katolik yang mengorbankan jiwanya demi kasih sayang.Ada versi lain tentang sejarah Valentine, yaitu pada masa Romawi Kuno, tanggal 14 Pebruari merupakan hari raya untuk memperingati dewi Juno, dewi Juno adalah ratu dari segala dewa dan dewi, orang-orang Romawi kuno juga meyakini bahwa dewi Juno adalah dewi bagi kaum perempuan dan perkawinan ?dewi cinta.Pada tanggal 14 Pebruari orang-orang Romawi kuno mengadakan perayaan untuk memperingati Dewi Juno dengan cara memisahkan kaum laki-laki dan perempuan. Nama-nama remaja perempuan ditulis pada potongan kertas lalu digulung dan dimasukkan ke dalam botol, setelah itu para laki-laki mengambil satu kertas sebagai, setiap laki-laki akan mendapatkan pasangan sesuai nama yang didapat dalam undian tersebut, bila kemudian mereka ada kecocokan maka mereka akan melangsungkan pernikahan dihari-hari berikutnya.

Valentine dan Barat

Pada abad ke 16 Masehi, perayaan Valentine yang semula merupakan ritual milik agama Kristen Katolik telah berangsur-angsur bergeser, yang semula untuk memperingati kematian santo Valentine dan Marius telah bergeser menjadi hari ?Jamuan Kasih Sayang? yang disebut sebagai ?Supercalis? seperti yang dirayakan oleh bangsa Romawi Kuno pada tiap tanggal 15 Pebruari.Sedangkan pada abad pertengahan di dalam bahasa Perancis-Normandia terdapat kata ?Galentine? yang berasal dari kata Galant yang berarti cinta, persamaan bunyi antara Galentine dan Valentine disinyalir telah memberikan ide kepada orang-orang Eropa bahwa sebaiknya pada tanggal 14 Pebruari digunakan untuk mencari pasangan. Dan kini Valentine telah tersinkretisasi dengan peradaban Barat.Valentine telah menjadi bentuk pesta hura-hura, simbol modernitas, sekedar simbol cinta, dan sudah mulai bernuansa pergaulan bebas dan seks bebas.Banyak para muda-mudi yang mengadakan pesta Valentine hanya karena ikut-ikutan supaya tidak dibilang ketinggalan zaman atau tidak gaul, orang yang ikut-ikutan pesta valentine seakanakan telah menyandang predikat sebagai orang yang modern dan maju, padahal dia tidak tahu apa-apa tentang sejarah Valentine dan Valentine itu sendiri, padahal Valentine sendiri bukanlah hasil kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan tehnologi.Tentu saja Barat adalah yang paling diuntungkan dengan hiruk-pikuk pesta Valentine, karena di dalam pesta valentine orang didukung untuk hura-hura, mencari cinta sesaat dan instan, seks bebas, galmour yang semuanya itu mengarah ke peradaban Barat.Ketika Al-Islah mengadakan survey via telepon terhadap beberapa masyarakat kota, ada seorang koresponden yang pernah berada di luar negeri memberikan pandangannya bahwa Valentine telah menjadi media Barat untuk memasarkan produknya, merebaknya Valentine di kalangan muda-mudi, menjadikan mereka ramah dan permisif terhadap produk-produk Barat, antara lain fashion, kafe, hotel, film, seks pranikah, dan lain sebagainya.Namun kalau kita mau jeli dan teliti, Valentine memang bisa menjadikan seseorang merasa tidak ketinggalan zaman, gaul, fashionable dan segudang simbol peradaban Barat lainnya, salah satu faktor besarnya daya jual produk-produk Barat adalah terbangunnya opini tersebut dikalangan muda-mudi, contoh, orang ingin mengganti Hp-nya dengan HP baru hanya dengan satu alasan saja yaitu ?model baru lebih trendy atau fashionable yang lama telah ketinggalan jaman dan memalukan? , opini semacam itulah yang ingin dibangun barat melaui acara-acara Valentine.
