Photo shoot for the AP cover was yesterday with photographer Dave Hill, who shoots through a cyborg alien’s electric eye.
What to expect?
The Matches crossing the Delaware, without General Washington, in a bathtub.
And in fact, the Delaware isn't water, but instead, a sea of bathtubs.
Flags were invited, and stayed for most of the party.
Wind was invited, but left early.
Chairs of all sorts, shapes, purposes....
Alex from All Time Low held up a peace sign in his solo shot, I was told, so I
held up a number 1. I'm sure Dave won't select that one, lest I look like a real Competition Carlos.
Polka dots were brought to the cover. Someone has to
bring them. It's like kiejsh(how the hell do you spell that?!) at a
potluck.

Polka Dots are definately the way to go. Not many share my love of those little dots! Im sure whatever the outcomes, baths, dots, or not, it will look wonderful.
Kiejsh? Do you mean quiche at all? Or am i on a completely different word all together?
I'm excited.
quiche is the way to spell it foo
when does the magazine come out?
i brought quiche to my new years potluck.
it is really a given, isn't it?
Oh, I love polka dots.
I recently got a polka dot dress that is black with white dots. It's the first dress I've bought for... about 7 years. And I have 3 pair of polka dot shoes (I would have more but... it's hard to find a pair in my size)
I should stop babbling about my clothing and shoes (oh how I love shoes though, especially pointed shoes, they are so comfortable) and start babbling about the photoshoot.
I really hope they use that picture you said they probably wont use. It would make me chuckle. =^]
I really can't wait for it to come out. After I saw that video where you did that little rap (I was looking at the AP tour and saw "The Matches!" and about died, then I came back and saw the video, and laughed, now the dates are posted... and I'm probably skipping school to come. It better be worth it, which I'm sure it will. Are you planning on doing one of those acoustic performances outside? Do you do those anymore? If so, I'm looking forward to that too. If I am able to skip school without getting caught. Actually, I think I have permission.) I've been waiting for it to come.
I've only been to a potluck once.
I did not like it because I'm a picky eater.
It was all runny food. Like, way to wet. Except the eggs. But I don't like eggs. Especially the kind they had, Deviled Eggs. They remind me of vomit. I think they are called DEVILed Eggs for a reason. Haha. It was a Halloween potluck and they were made to look like mice. I couldn't even consider trying to eat something there. They didn't have this "quiche" or "kiejsh" food you people speak of.
Is it good?
Sorry it's such a long comment, I'm hyper.
quiche! yes. You are on the right word!
Yes- I plan on elongating our set with acoustics on the AP tour, 'cause with 5 bands, there's bound to be tight set lengths
Can't wait to see those photographs, They will take pride of place on my wall
omg i have been waiting for this for years!!!! i am sooooo excited!!!
It's really neato that you guys got the cover!

I hope that the damn cold new england weather will ease up for an acoustic show. April should be warmer than 20 degrees F.
Who should I contact concerning an interview/photo pass? I know it's early considering the MA show isnt for another 3 months just about...
Shawn- Last night, a friend and I were discussing your less then stellar review of Sweeney Todd, and this led to the thought of you frolicking on a beach in a striped bathing suit. The following photoshop failure transpired...please forgive me.

^ now im thinking of shawn in a striped swimsuit...hah.
cant wait for the magazine! been a fan for 5 years, you deserve this! :)

I do love some polka dots...
HehufdfTHECOVER!! You guys really deserve so much more than you've gotten, very nice seeing things come into light now.
-V
I will never forgive you for butchering the spelling of the best food in the whole entire world.
But I guess the title of this blog makes up for it...
Somehow, mentioning "Probed" directly after a pie-like dish reminds me of American Pie...
AP cover, new CD, show in Melbourne next month....You guys are giving me all sorts of things to look forward to.
What kind of flags were you waving?
good for you that you held up the number one! true dat!
yes yes the polka dots are a must. if someone's gonna bring it who better to do it than you.
your attempt was better than mine I was gonna say queesh?
I'm excited to see the cover (coincidentially you are also featured in this month's AP, just a tiny spot, but good nonetheless)
anddd I am also excited for this AP tour yayayyay
Hey Shawn! You should jump into our mega boardie chat today!
I'm still in complete shock that the genius of The Matches is finally being recognized enough for an AP cover.
Congrats x700million.
Hahaha, kiejsh? I thought that was just one of those hit-random-letters-on-the-keyboard-out-of-excitement words.
AP Tour: only going for you guys. Not a bit fan of the rest of the lineup, so if you acquire a new shadow in Chicago, don't be afraid.
I meant big fan, not bit fan.
Sorry, I just woke up.
i just have to add that you sir, are an exquisite rapper. Fiddy, Luda and yo boy E-40 best watch themselves cuh, you about to take the bay by storm cuh!
straight up.
word to your mother.
Yesssh, sounds awesome can't wait til the new issue of AP. And I'll definitly be seeing you guys on tour this spring.
2008 will be the matches'.
ap cover and a spot on the ap tour! 2008 is your year and im so excited!! :)
If you follow through on that promise for acoustics, I'll totally forgive you guys for making us sit through Sonny and deal with ATL fangirls.
^ agreeeed.
I'm not a fan of AP. I called up one time because they didn't send out one of the issues, and they gave me major attitude. That issue was from August. I didn't get it until December 24th! At that point I don't even know why the hell they bothered sending it. Then they send me some BS letter saying "Oh we're sorry. We had a problem with the interns, but we really do care about our customers. We're not snobby like all those other big magazines." BULL SHIT! They said that they were going add three extra issues unto my account for free. I'll probably never see them. Still waiting for this month's issue. Whatever...
The only reason I'd go is to see you guys.
Mmmmm quiche a so good! So are polka dots and AP Covers. This past week was completely saturated in the Matches. Every time I said "guess what" my friends guessed it had something to do with Matches. I'm going to guess that about 3 out of 5 times they were right.
so when can I expect to open my mailbox and run back into the house like a loon?
Portland and Seattle, here I come.
I'm booking my flight sometime this week, I hope.
(maybe this time i'll eat during the day and be free of viruses so that I won't miss 2 songs as a result of almost blacking out)
You need to roll through Calgary one of these days. Aside from warped tour, it's been since 2004.
And congratulations AGAIN on being on the cover of AP. That's just insane.
you're getting rap kudos for ripping of dr hook? what's that?!?
shoot.
congrats on getting a cover!! i can't wait to see it
So many good things are coming, An abundance of tour dates, a new album, acoustic sets, and now a magazine cover? The next thing we know you'll be releasing a video...or two.. winkwinkcoughcough.
God, I hate being a Gemini!
One part of me is so happy and proud of The Matches, the other part wants them all to myself..... sorry for being selfish :(
I am sure that the photos will be fabulous - how could they be anything else?
~b
(hee hee keijsh! It does my heart good to know that you are not perfect at everything!)
Oh Bernadette... I feel the same way. But I've come to realise...
Such a great thing can not be kept just to myself.
And if it makes them happy. I'll suck it up.
Haha.
I'm a gemini too. WOOT WOOT!!
I love your name... it's so rare and pretty.
I just heard about the
HEADLINE UK TOUR!!!!!!
There are no words to convey my excitement
Envelopes are looking quite slight. Wait a second, they're gone!
Congrats on the AP Cover! I can't wait 'til it comes out! This'll probably be the first one I've gone out and bought the non-subscribers one to just to have.
though this isn't on the subject, i'm completley estatic for the AP tour. Sadly, it will be a year to the DAY since I've seen you guys...and that was no offense to you...like the crappiest day of my life, but you in fact managed to make it better.
Finally other people are realizing what the Bay Area has known for years. Congratulations on getting the cover and bringing the polka dots! I can't wait to see it.
When I do photograpy for my sista I always try and use things that people wouldn't normally consider using. That way the picture has a natural atraction. And I also like how your photograpy used the stuff. I think if people understood teh differnce between pretty and intresting there would be a lot mre art in the world. But alas there is only a few who know these things, but most are ready to stand in their bathtub, and cross into others mind and forge thoughts of unknown possibilites.
the shoot sounds very interesting...can't wait till I get the mag. have an awesome day!
these acoustic sets you speak of, might they be after your set while the last bands play or after the entire concert?
Sounds like you had fun. Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition between band and their frontmen.
I look forward to it.
please, Please, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRRY ON TOP read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHAWN!
this is why i love you
the way you write is WONDERFUL
its really unique!!!!!!!
its so YOU
it is actually understandable but youhave to think and it just is writing from a very different angle and perspective
i LOVE it
the world needs more people like you
you are as unique or more than my hero Ron Paul
ROCK ON SHAWN!
First of all,
HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS GOT THE COVER OF AP?
I'm so excited. I will keep a keen eye out for this mysterious crossing of the Delaware in a bathtub.
Also, I think you mean quiche, but I can't be too sure. That stuff is sort of odd. Just sayin.
cant wait for the magazine <3
probing polkadotted quiche and the AP cover? titillating is the only adjective I can think of
also - is that a Peter Pan reference I spy in the absolutepunk song titles contest? 'cause if so I'm psyched, it's always been my favourite disney movie
I wish the RSS feed for this blog worked correctly.
Hey, I do too. Shawn, fix your silly RSS, eh?
You know,
I am quite proud of you.
I believe that you all deserve the cover more than most.
Let's all hope that 2008 will indeed be the year of the matches.
oh and, what the hell does quiche taste like?
it has always perturbed me..
As soon as I found out you guys got the cover, I went and subscribed. Only to find out two days later, that by buying a ticket to the AP tour, you get a free subscription...Oh well. You really deserve this, I completely agree with those saying that '08 will be your year.
And about acoustic sets, any chance we'll get some when you set out with Sherwood?
Your unique spelling of quiche had me laughing for a rather long time. In fact, now that I'm looking at it again, I can't help but giggle. Your blog definitely relieves some of my final exam stress.
C:
Three cheers for the AP cover! I can't wait to see it. Polka dots and bathtubs will prove to be an amazing combination, I'm sure of it.
2008 is definitely going to be the year of The Match.
<333
Woo hoo!
You guys are gonna be on AP?
When?
You don't know how excited I just got.
kiejsh, Shawn? wow. i'm dangerously close to not loving you anymore. oh, i'm only kidding. i love you more than ever. peace.
you mean quiche?
haha.
Shawn i thought you were trying to spell an indian boys' name. hahaha.
i'm really excited for the cover. you all know you deserve it.
you'll be set for world domination soon.
I just realized that you talked about quiches. Those things are absolutely amazing! I love them. My mom makes 'em for me all the time. The only bad part is that thet take forever to make.
I dont know whether to be happy or mad. Well obviously I'm happy because you got the cover of AP. but more so I am sad because now I'll have to fight for the front row with people who just started listening to you guys this year rather than in middle school.
I guess thats just me being selfish though, congratulations, I cant wait to read the issue.
Quiche- More Than Appealing.
Hey Shawn, question for you: are all of you guys on the cover of AP or will it be just you and some people from other bands on the tour? And when will we see this cover? Like April?
-Marie
"Idiotttt said...
Quiche- More Than Appealing."
HAHA YES YOU DID IT :D
Shawn!
An AP cover?!
Thats a big deal. It really is!
I dislike quiche with a passion.
Its never appealed to me in the slightest.
I brought homemade cake to the last potluck I went to, just to shake things up a bit.
Unfortunately, it seems the most common things for potlucks are
quiche,
and cake.
I failed.
every day for 5 days i have checked your blog atleast 5 times a day to find out something new..
[[irrelivancy]] Holy crap! I just read your myspace, and you guys are coming to Okie-homa! kasjdfhlakjdfh
I'm going as an early birthday present to myself.
So YOU know and I know you want to choose MY picture for the 14th contest entry... ;^]
After all...
I did stay up for (literally) 24 hours Sunday just to try to guess on the 13th picture and nothing was posted.
So...
Yeah.
I think it'd be pretty rad of you to pick my pic. =^]
But if you don't, no hard feelings. I understand- it's a contest. Plus, nothing could make me upset at you or the other members. Love you boys to much. =^D
My pictures for day 14 (cause I already did them) are actual maps with the little arrow moved by me using paint... =^] It looks like I didn't move the pointers... but I did. =^]
so is this the cover for april? cause the march one is some stupid crap as usual,
i agree with the kids on here i am so happy you guys are gonna be on the cover of a magazine! thats a great accomplishment, but AP? really? i know theyve been nice to you and all but its so very hot topic of you, which i have the utmost disdain for flowing in my very vains.
im gonna go buy the magazine though and treasure it, though that does mean me actually setting foot in one of those stores, but anywho
its gonna suck having to hear fuse-kids talk about how much they love you guys from now on, and an even more flowing ocean of pre-pubescent girls screaming their affection for you shawn,
oh well, i guess as long as you get records sold who cares about reputations, right?
Here's a funny joke that sounds not so funny when typed!
A guy and his mate are at a fancy restaurant deciding what to eat. The guy says to the waitress I'll have a quicky thanks... She slaps him (out of absolute rage) and leaves. His mate says "I think it's pronounced Kiejsh dude."
Oh, that's so not funny typed... apologies from me.
p.s. who let the Yankee in the chip shop?!
So since the magazine has been out for almost a year...where i can i find this picture, to use as a vito to my friend???
Not likely I will get an answer...
