Hey everybody,
So I realize I haven't properly introduced myself... I'm Maggie. Carrie & Naomi brought me on to fill the position of "Promotions Coordinator" which is essentially a fancy way of saying that I'm supposed to hustle people into coming back for more Inklings related goodness after each visit. You'll see me posting bulletins and tweets and pictures and all the stuff that the Inklings staff have been previously doing - but we're really going to be kicking it up a notch!
I could use your help, too! Posting banners or bulletins about our site and interviews is a great way to spread the word about your favorite bands we've had on the site. :) In addition, we hope to be giving back more to you as fans - our current contest is the chance to win schwag from the Pop Goes Punk 2 crew! Tomorrow is the last day to enter, so head on over to http://www.inklings.tv/features/contests/ to do so.
And finally, the crux of this blog post: the mix. A lot of times I just think or articulate via some weird soundtrack that makes sense to very few people but me. However, this time I'll share - maybe you can find a new band/song YOU like.
1. versaemerge - past praying for
2. hot water music - flight & a crash
3. four year strong - bada bing wit a pipe
4. anarborrrrr anythiiing
5. thursday - time's arrow
6. versaemerge - moments between sleep
7. this providence - chasing the wind
8. this providence - sand in your shoes
9. neko case - middle cyclone
10. the receiving end of sirens - this armistice
11. a replay in my mind of pierce the veil's michael jackson cover from taste of chaos...

Taste of Chaos
Last Wednesday, Maggie and I spent the day hanging out and shooting interviews at Taste of Chaos. The last time we shot at Nokia Theater, we were jammed in the catering room: a lovely white abyss with a loudly humming fridge. This time we were shown to possibly the coolest room ever, full of orange couches and those folding wooden screen/room dividers.
First we talked to Josh and Jake from Four Year Strong-- between the red walls of the room, red pillows on the couchs, their red shirts, red hair and red beards, the shot was a huge wash of red except for their faces (see here). We talked about Taste of Chaos and also asked them some fan questions (which will be posted excusively on FriendsOrEnemies.com)
We also talked to Pierce the Veil and Bring Me the Horizon (two bands who we somehow missed out on during our time covering Warped Tour this summer!) as well as Liam from Cancer Bats, who is one of the most friendly, chatty and positive people I've had the pleasure of interviewing.
We returned our cameras (unfortunately missing Cancer Bats' set in the process) and headed back for the show. We got there right in time for Pierce the Veil, who put on one hell of a show. In general, any band that plays a Michael Jackson cover is probably going to be ok by me. Four Year Strong killed it as usual. Maggie shot photos of FYS, BMTH and Thursday, so keep an eye out for some of those coming soon.
Somehow I'd made it this far in my life without seeing Thursday. I didn't think that could be true, but I checked, and Taste of Chaos was my first time seeing them. Sick show. The audience batting around those huge black balloons was possible the coolest thing I've ever seen at a show.
Look forward to Taste of Chaos coverage coming soon to Inklings. In the meantime, we just posted a new interview with Breathe Carolina. Interviews with Anarbor, This Providence and The Hoodies to follow shortly. Also, enter our Punk Goes Pop 2 Trivia Contest and check out our new blog feature on Stuff Scene Kids Like
I think this week I'm going to start a series of blogs called Shoot Stories. Sometime ridiculous things happen, and some of those stories exist here already in abridged form...but some need to be retold.
