New TAI and a Bottle of Wine

A quiet dinner with the folks turned into a funny music story that I'm sure i've told some of you already. I was out with my parents when my mom noticed Adam T. Siska, of The Academy Is... walk in with his mother. She first thought it was his brother Jason, who was featured on the TV hit, Survivor. I turned around and informed her it was Adam, an old football teammate and school friend. He looked over and waived before coming over to say Hi. We talked for a bit about touring, the band, and old football memories (yes, this body roughed it on the gridiron). We kept it very short and polite, but then things turned ugly. He turned to shake my dad's hand with a "nice to see you again" approach, and knocked over our 3/4 filled bottle of red wine. Our table, food, and drinks were splattered everywhere. My mom looked like she took a bullet to her stomach. A bright red Adam apologized over and over insisting he pay for our meal. My dad explained it was not necessary and told him to enjoy his dinner. Moments later, our waitress came over to deliver a brand new bottle of wine, curtousy of the young man with the leather coat and tight jeans. The best news came after dinner while talking with him and his mom. Adam explained The Academy Is... just finished their 3rd album which should be expected out later this summer. Hopefully this album will be the best so far (previous albums Almost Here, and Santi).

Yes another video, but I thought this was particularly funny. Adam and frontman William Beckett talk about their days at Barrington High School and even throw a shot at Dave Mathews Lovers (which should be enough reason to watch as it is)...



I now ask, what about SCOPER's 5 song playlist of highschool? College playlist perhaps? What songs would you describe your experiences with...?
