Bom, aproveitei a manhã de hoje para fazer uns screenshots do clipe de Block Out The World. Ao todo são 132 imagens adicionadas. Fiz dois álbuns no orkut zuper públicos para quem quiser dar uma olhada.
O único problema é que a qualidade está péssima, já que tirei os shots do youtube.
Mesmo assim, caso interesse a alguém, seguem os links:
Love Goes a Long Way (24 imagens)
Block out the World (96 imagens)
Block out the World (36 imagens)
Aproveitem ;**
So I took this sunday morning taking some screenshots from Block out the World video. Now you guys have 132 screenshots from this video. The only problem is the crappy quality, since I got these from Youtube. The images are hosted in two Orkut.com public albums. You can check these in the links listed below:

Enjoy ;**

Jay para Maxeen4u.de
Em março de 2005, a Monika, dona do Maxeen4u.de, conseguiu essa entrevista exclusiva com o Jay Skowronek. Muito obrigada, Monika, por me deixar colocar a entrevista aqui!
Maxeen4u- Quanto às músicas novas... o que nós podemos esperar do novo álbum?
Jay Skowronek- Bem, ainda não começamos a gravar - andamos gravando os demos que, se tudo correr bem, se tornarão as músicas do próximo CD e isso tem nos ocupado bastante! Mas acho que você pode esperar uma sonoridade melhor, tanto no álbum quanto na banda. Não digo isso desmerecendo nosso primeiro disco, mas quando o gravamos tínhamos apenas seis meses de banda e éramos muito novos um para o outro e também nesse processo de gravar juntos. Agora, a banda já tem um pouco mais de dois anos e meio junta, já viajamos muito. Podemos perceber melhor como é o som do Maxeen, se é que isso faz algum sentido, e isso faz das músicas novas muito mais empolgantes e diferentes justamente por causa disso. Estamos aproveitando esse tempo para experimentar coisas novas enquanto escrevemos para esse CD... principalmente Tom, ele tem escrito muita coisa nova com piano. Se você é um fã de Maxeen, acho que você vai gostar.
M- [O álbum] já tem alguma previsão de lançamento ou nome?
J- Não temos uma data de lançamento nem nome para o álbum ainda. Nós começamos a nos reunir com os produtores agora, então tenho certeza de que iremos ao estúdio em um futuro próximo, cruzem os dedos!
M- Como o público tem respondido às músicas novas que vocês tocaram em fevereiro?
J- Acho que os fãs que ouviram gostaram bastante das músicas novas. Tocamos muita coisa nova, como "Seconds Later", que é bem agitada, "Replace Us", que é uma música mais devagar, mas também muito boa, e uma música esquisita chamada "Connect the Dots", que basicamente foi idéia do Tom. Espero que ninguém tenha ficado tipo "que porcaria é essa?", não acho que alguém tenha dito isso.
M- Vamos falar de turnê... qual foi o país/cidade em que você mais gostou até agora e qual você nunca mais quer ir tocar?
J- Boa pergunta. Tenho que ser educado e responder a essa pergunta dizendo que não importa onde você está... sempre depende do quão bom é o público. Nós fizemos vários shows no meio do nada esperando o pior que poderia acontecer, e o público era incrível e realmente empenhado em se divertir conosco, e isso fez toda a diferença do mundo. Você estabelece essa conexão com o público e isso basta, porque não existe nada melhor. Também gosto muito de ir às belas cidades históricas, lugares como Estocolmo, Amsterdã ou Londres, e principalmente de ter tempo para circular e conhecer a cidade. Eu poderia mencionar vários lugares, mas melhor parar por aí.
M- Então, vocês passam muito tempo juntos gravando ou em turnê. O que vocês fazem para descontrair (além do clássico concurso de bigode) e quem tem os hábitos mais estranhos?
J- Ha! O concurso de bigode... como todos já devem saber, Tom NÃO participou desse concurso. Shannon e eu disputamos para ver quem ia ter mais bigode em uma semana. Claro que o Shannon ganhou, o bigode dele cresceu bastante, enquanto o meu parecia m monte de pelinhos ao redor da bunda de um esquilo. Mas todos nós temos manias estranhas... nós gostamos de filmar vídeos esquisitos (não, nada pornô), e é bem provável que postemos mais alguns no site em breve. Filmamos o Shannon dando uma de idiota quando estávamos no Japão em outubro de 2004. É o tipo de vídeo que faz você chorar de rir de tão engraçado!
M- O que você sempre carrega consigo em turnê?
J- Minha escova de dentes elétrica.
M- Qual foi a coisa mais desconsertante que já aconteceu no palco até agora?
J- Bem, como estou sempre sentado lá atrás, as coisas que acontecem normalmente não são comigo. Tenho certeza de que Tom e Shannon têm algumas histórias, já que eles ficam mais na frente, vou perguntar a eles e depois te falo.
M- Você já ganhou algum presente muito louco de um fã?
J- Tem uma garota no Japão chamada Satomi que nos levou presentes durante todos os dias em que estivemos lá. O mais incrível mesmo foi um álbum de fotos do Maxeen que ela montou, ilustrou, escreveu e tudo mais. Ela também levou outras coisas, sopa (isso foi uma cantada?), xícaras de chá etc. Isso foi muito legal. Ela é uma fã realmente incrível.
M- Vocês vão fazer outra turnê pela Europa?
J- Embora nada esteja certo ainda, parece que passaremos por lá para tocar em alguns festivais de verão. Em breve notícias sobre isso. Prometo!
M- Qual das suas músicas você mais gosta?
J- Bem, isso é como perguntar "qual dos seus filhos você mais gosta?". Quando você compõe ua música, ela meio que significa alguma coisa para você, isso é pessoal. Gosto da maioria das músicas da banda, e posso dizer que gosto praticamente da mesma maneira. Tem uma música nova ou outra de que não gosto, mas, na maioria dos casos, gosto de todas.
M- Se te pedissem para escrever uma música para arrecadar dinheiro (tipo o que o Band Aid fez) e você pode decidir quem vai participar, quem você escolheria e quem definitivamente não entraria?
J- Definitivamente, eu chamaria The Futureheads, eles são a melhor banda nova dessa última década, são o máximo! Também chamaria Franz Ferdinand. os membros do Morphine que ainda estão vivos, Brian May do Queen. Paul McCartney, Jane's Addiciton, Cheap Trick e PJ Harvey e Bjork.
M- Um dia perfeito seria...
J- Nenhum dia é perfeito, certo?
M- Alguma resolução para esse ano?
J- Fazer o melhor álbum dentro do possível.
M- Voltando à época do colegial... em qual caracterização você se encaixaria melhor: nerd ou o palhaço da sala?
J- Odiei meu colegial. Não aguentava aquilo. Mas acho que eu era um meio-termo entra o palhaço e o nerd. Mas eu não era do tipo de pessoa em que tinha sempre alguém querendo bater, e isso era bom.
M- Se você não fosse músico, o que você seria hoje? E o que vocêfazia antes de formar o Maxeen?
J- Veterinário de mamíferos de grande porte, certeza. Trabalhei em vários lugares antes de conhecer Shannon e Tom... já trabalhei em um escritório de uma escola católica em Los Angeles por uma semana, mas briguei com uma freira e me tiraram de lá. Fiquei tão feliz ao deixar aquele lugar!
Maxeen4u- Quanto às músicas novas... o que nós podemos esperar do novo álbum?

Jay for Maxeen4u.de
In march of 2005, Monika, the admin of Maxeen4u.de, got this exclusive interview with Jay Skowronek. Thank you so much for letting me put this interview here, Monika!
MAXEEN4U.DE- Referring to your record sessions…what can we expect from the new album ???
JAY SKOWRONEK- Well, we haven’t started recording yet—we’ve been recording the demos which will (hopefully) become the songs on the next album, and have been busy at that! But, I think you can expect a better sounding record, and a better sounding band. Not to diss our first record, but we recorded it when we were only 6 months old as a band, so we were very new to each other and the whole process on how we record as a group.
Now, the group’s a little over two and a half years old and we’ve toured a LOT. We’ve realized more of what Maxeen’s sound is like, if that makes any sense, and the new songs are very exciting and different because of it. We’re taking the time to really experiment and try some new things while writing this record, too . . . especially tom—he’s been writing a lot of stuff on piano. If you’re a Maxeen fan, i think you’ll like it.
M- Is their a release date/name yet ?
J- We don’t have a release date or name yet. We’re starting to meet with producers now, so i’m sure we’ll be hitting the studio in the near future, knock on wood.
M- How did the audience react to the new songs, while touring in February ?
J- I think the Maxeen fans who came out really enjoyed the new stuff. We played a handful of new songs . . . songs like “Seconds Later,“ which is an uptempoed rocker, “Replace Us,“ which is a cool slower song, and a weird one called “Connect the Dots,“ which Tom pretty much came up with himself. I hope people weren’t like, “What’s this crap?“ I don’t think they said that.
M- Touring…Which country/city did you like most so far and where do you never wanna play again ?!
J- Good question. I have to be diplomatic and answer that by saying that it doesn’t matter what city or country you’re in . . . it all depends on how good the audience is. We’ve showed up to shows in the middle of nowhere expecting the worst, and the audience is just wild and really into having a good time and rocking out with us, and that makes all the difference in the world. You make a connection, and there’s nothing like it.
I also really like going to really old, beautiful cities. . . places like Stockholm or Amsterdam or London, and having the time to walk around for a bit. The city list could go on and on, so i’ll stop there.
M- So, you guys spend a lot of time together while recording and touring. What do you do to amuse each other ( besides of doing a moustache contest ;0) ) and who have the most strange habbits ?
J- Ha! The moustache contest . . . just so everyone knows, Tom did NOT participate in the moustache contest. Shannon and i had a competition to see who could grow the fullest moustache in one week’s time . . . of course he won, and my moustache looked like the hair around a squirrel’s ass.
But, we all have really strange habits . . . we really enjoy filming really weird videos (no, not porn), and hopefully we can get a few more up on our website soon. We filmed some stuff of Shannon being a goofball on our tour of Japan last October, and it’ll make you cry it’s so funny.
M- Which item is always with you on tour ?
J- My electric toothbrush.
M- What is the most embarrasing thing that had been happen on stage so far ?
J- Well, since i’m sitting down in the back, stuff usually doesn’t happen to me. I’m sure Tom and Shannon have some stories since they’re on the front lines . . . let me ask them and get back to you about that one.
M- Did you ever get a really crazy fan-gift ?!
J- There’s a girl in Japan named Satomi who brought us gifts every day we were over there—a Maxeen photo book that she wrote and illustrated for us, which was really amazing, really nice Japanese hankerchiefs, tea cups, soap (was that a hint?), etc. that was great. She’s an amazing fan.
M- Will there be an European tour again ?
J- Although nothing is confirmed in stone yet, it looks like we’ll be over there for the summer festivals . . . news coming soon about that. Promise!
M- Which of your songs do you like most ?!
J- Well, that’s like asking, “Which of your kids do you like the most?“ When you come up with a song, it has some sort of meaning to you that’s personal. I like most of our songs, and i like them pretty equally. There have been a couple of new songs that i haven’t cared for, but, for the most part, i like them all.
M- They ask you to write a special song for raising money (like Band Aid did) and you can decide who`s in it, who would you choose and who definitely not ?
J- I’d definitely have The Futureheads in there . . . they’re the best new band in the past decade, and will kick everyone’s ass. Plus, Franz Ferdinand, the remaining members of Morphine, Brian May from Queen, Paul McCartney, Jane’s Addiction, Cheap Trick, and P.J. Harvey and Bjork.
M- A perfect day would be…
J- No day is ever perfect, is it?
M- Personal aim for that year ?
J- Make the best record possible.
M- Looking back to your high school years…which characterization fits you more: Geeky one or clown of class ?
J- I hated high school. Couldn’t stand it. But, i guess i was a mixture of the geek AND the class clown. I didn’t have anybody who wanted to kick my ass, though, which was good.
M- If you wouldn`t be a musician, what would you do today ?! And what job did you do before meeting the other guys ?
J- Large mammal vet, definitely. I was working at a bunch of different places before i met the guys . . . i once worked in the front office at a Catholic School in LA for like a week, but got into a fight with a nun and got canned. I was so happy to leave that place!
MAXEEN4U.DE- Referring to your record sessions…what can we expect from the new album ???

Take the Weight Off
mommy it hurts
need you touch
to take the weight off
daddy i’m broke
need your funds
to get me through this
i need a drink
maybe that’ll
take the weight off
doctor i’m sad
psych degree

love takes too long
but the sex
will get me through this
christ as a crutch
maybe that’ll
take the weight off
mommy i’m sad
need your touch to
take the weight off
daddy i’m broke

sis fucks in cars

take the weight off
brother is dead
cause he couldn’t
take the weight off
you once shared your heart
thought the trust could
take the weight off
time is so strong
and the numbness
gets you through this
six billion souls
but no one to take the weight off

Shuffle my Feet
and i would like
to tell you waht’s true
but what’s the point
i can’t get to you
and i cannot get a date
’cause you know me
i’ll be late
i shuffle my feet
to the beat on the city street
and i don’t wanna
lay you a line
i haven’t had a motor
in quite some time
materials are rubbish
and since i’ve grown
the less i have
the more i own
i shuffle my feet
to the beat on the city street
don’t get in my way
i gotta deadline to meet
don’t ask me for change
i barely eat
nothing stops me
once my feet hit the concrete
shuffle my feet
shuffly my feet to the beat
on the city street
boy
don’t get in my way
I gotta deadline to meet
don’t ask me for change
I barely eat
nothing stops me once my feet
hit the concrete

White Flag
stuck in school
learning the rules
we’ll find out just who we are
what if teacher tells us lies that we believe
graduate
clean the slate
they had no clue just who we were
what if the teacher told us lies that we believe
as another dreaded autumn sheds it’s leaves
fighting words
say i failed
wounds will heal
exhale
time’s a ship on water
innocence will lessen as you sail
you sail
what if teacher told us lies that we believe
as another dreaded autumn sheds it’s leaves
and what if happiness is solar systems away
then i might as well just wave the white flag

I was only 17
when I got my heart ripped clean
I was just a baby then
love’s so confusing
the scenes are amusing
I have to express how I feel
I was only 17

how can i forgive you that
love’s so confusing

I have to express how I feel
one thing I know is true
I’ll never replace you
a memory I rewind and play

Lead Not Follow
you and me
swim upstream
against the flow we go
like salmon swim
to mountain tops
it’s the only thing we know
neon lights
and big city streets
along in you grows
we drag the brush
as time goes on
winding trails of blue
for those to see
the paths we took
to make a dream come true
neon lights
and these city streets
your presence overdue
we lead not follow
and that’s hard to do
when no one follows you
with nothing new
we will pretend
invent our world again
the neon lights
how they shined for you
they’ll shine for others too
we lead not follow
and the aim was true
and so they followed you
they followed you

Poison June
pictures of you I adore
strewn across the bedroom floors
your letters chronological
heartbeat away from trigger pull
is it true what they speak of
you don’t quite ever get over
your first love
a stack of records ten feet high
a thousand songs to make me cry
under covers
close the door
I won’t be coming out no more
is it true what they speak of
you don’t quite ever get over
your first love
alcohol and concert hall
consume that poison june
alcohol and concert hall
consume that poison june
it’s been roughly seven days
since i’ve seen the suns warm rays
mommy’s worried, daddy’s bored
friends slip notes beneath the door
sad but true the fact remains
the static’s driving me insane
burn these photos, clean the mess
i’ll off her boy to relieve some stress

Love Goes a Long Way (2003)
It makes you crazy.
It makes you mad.
When you lose it,
how it makes you sad.
It drags you down.
It gives you wings.
It’s the knot in your stomach that stings.
I think I made a big mistake.
One girl, one night,
it felt so fake.
It wouldn’t last a year or a month or a day.
Love goes a long way.
It goes a long way.
Love goes a long way.
It goes a long way.
It takes you in.
It throws you away.
It gives meaning to your empty days.
One day you’re sure,
the next you doubt.
Don’t bother trying to figure it out.
I think I made a big mistake.
One girl, one night,
it felt so fake.
You can’t always fix what you break.

Delete Lola
it was the signs
on your face
that I never could see
it was the fact
I forgot
some kind of anniversary
At the phone
you would wait
but I never would call
it’s the thought
that never counted
cause there’s no thought at all
Distress codes sent
for a rescue to
relieve me of the boredom
that I’m feeling with you
in a daydream I’d compute
the first day we would meet
and simply press delete
Because I just don’t care
so give it a break
I just don’t care
so I made a mistake
I just don’t care
and there’s one thing to do
it’s true
I need to get rid of you
no matter what I try
I never get through
my random acts of kindness
you’d just misconstrue
I guess it comes down
to a lack of trust
a heart that used to work
has since been covered with dust
in the shadows of the year
you know I never could tell
if I had feelings for you
or I was under some spell
and now the only kiss I can justify
is a kiss goodbye
because I just don’t care
so give it a break
I just don’t care
so I made a mistake
I just don’t care
and there’s one thing to do
it’s true
I need to get rid of you
on your face
that I never could see
it was the fact
I forgot
some kind of anniversary

Block out the World
There’s a class of information between my ears
I’ll shut my eyes in hopes it disappears
Jammin’ ideas down my throat
So I swallow the belief that we’re on
Some secret roads
So I block out the world
With headphones on
It’s the only thing I can do when I don’t wanna talk to no one
Block out the world
With headphones on
It’s my only escape
I’m losing you in trust but I can’t help but feel
That what you say is not, it’s not what’s real
I wanna feel the case but the facts aren’t straight
And if I think you’re guilty, I won’t participate
So I’ll block out the world
With headphones on
It’s the only thing I can do when I don’t wanna talk to no one
Block out the world
With headphones on
It’s my only escape
I’ll block out the world
With headphones on
It’s the only thing that works when I don’t wanna talk to no one
Block out the world
With headphones on
‘Cause I don’t understand
Block out the radio
Block out the TV show
Block out these visions that trouble me so
I feel sick again
My blood is running thin
Digesting too much of your negative information
Block out the world!
Block out the world!
Block out the world!
Block out the world
With headphones on
It’s the only thing I can do when I don’t wanna talk to no one
Block out the world
With headphones on
It’s my only escape
Block out the world
With headphones on
It’s the only thing that works when I don’t wanna talk to no one
Block out the world
With headphones on
‘Cause I don’t understand
And what would happen if we all stopped buyin’
And to the fear that the selling is weak
These losers scratch their heads in confusion
This is how the strong become the meek
Block out the world!
Block out the world!
Block out the world!

Love Goes a Long Way
It makes you crazy.
It makes you mad.
When you lose it,
You feel you’ve been had
It drags you down.
It gives you wings.
It’s the knot in your stomach that stings.

A tragedy, my heart can’t take
One girl, one night,
it felt so fake.
It wouldn’t last a year or a month or a day.
Love goes a long way.
