the words of phantom planet

and, cuz they've become my most recent love, i have to put photos. (just have to, information about bands is an obsession with me.)

FUN FACT!!:

the band is named after the theme song of a 1961 B-movie called The Phantom Planet . they decided on the name in 1994 in a pizza hut (which i find hysterical.) and...this is a really cool fact about their developing logo thing (above left):

"...bassist Sam Farrar described the new logo, which is a circular graphic of piano keys that seem to morph into a shirt sleeve with a hand emerging from the cuff. he said, "the idea is that we’re going to sell a lot of these sweatshirts and all the kids will show up in them so the entire audience looks just like us." alex followed this up by saying that "'the leader' is the hand. he is the hand that plays the notes we sing to. it’s in the beginning stages still; we’re just chipping away at the stone." the new song "leader", is about Alex's fictional or metaphorical experience with a cult."

and, lastly, the lead singer is a veggitarian. just thought i'd add that, you know. you gotta love those veggies. =)
