i've read the whole of martinsays today. :D
MARTIN JOHNSON IS DAMN FUNNY.
let me show you.
a few people have asked me where the “party marty” nickname came from. i asked the man himself who dubbed me “party marty” to provide you with a proper explanation.
here is his write-up:
Hello “Martin Says” blog-watchers. My name is Doug Spangenberg and I shot and directed Boys Like Girls’ “READ BETWEEN THE LINES” dvd. I was out on the road with them for over 2 weeks and have seen their exploits up close and personal. Martin asked me to break down the “Party Marty” nickname I gave him exclusively for the readers of this website… so here it is.
About 5 days into the “Soundtrack of Your Summer” tour I did with them, I came onto the bus looking for Martin at about 5pm. After checking the front and back lounge, I asked everyone, “Where’s Party Marty?” The whole bus went silent for about two seconds and then erupted into a roar of laughter, thus waking the hungover Martin from a coma in his bunk. He joined us in the front lounge, wearing nothing but his boxer briefs, sunglasses, and that stupid blue scarf he refused to take off for that entire tour, no shirt. He heard the nickname, and immediately did not love it. ”Your still wearing Party Marty’s outfit from last night!” I said, and proceeded to explain to him that there is a “Party Marty” and a Martin Johnson… Much like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The two personalities know of each other and often work against each other. In fact, they hate each other. He learned to embrace the nickname, slowly.
So here’s a breakdown of the two personalities (keep in mind that these have all been observed by yours truly):
Martin hates Party Marty because he wakes up embarrassed and hungover. Party Marty thinks Martin is a pussy.
Martin likes a variety of different music. Party Marty only likes terrible rap music.
Martin likes listening to his ipod. Party Marty can’t hear music unless it is “cranked loud as fuck” in the front lounge at 4am.
Martin will pretend to listen to you. Party Marty will call you a “disgusting whore” (whether you’re male or female) and kick you off of his bus.
Martin complains when there’s an early bus call. Party Marty doesn’t know what bus call is.
Martin drinks out of cups and glasses. Party Marty only drinks straight out the bottle.
Martin likes tight pants. Party Marty doesn’t wear pants.
Martin likes to sign autographs for fans. Party Marty likes to sign body parts only.
Martin brushes his teeth. Party Marty gargles with Jack Daniel’s.
Before bed, Martin turns on his humidifier and air purifier, fluffs his pillow and makes his bed, washes his face, brushes his teeth, cleans the bus, and puts on his pj’s. Party Marty passes out face down on the floor of the bunk area.
Martin forgets to flush the toilet. Party Marty doesn’t use the toilet.
Martin loves Brent. Party Marty HATES Brent.
Martin likes you. Party Marty thinks you’re an idiot.
Martin didn’t want to post this. Party Marty told him to fuck off.
READ BETWEEN THE LINES is in stores everywhere and makes a great gift for the holidays!

i tried twitter today. then i jumped off a bridge. only good thing i got out of the experience was remembering this book that i read in third grade. i remember we had to write fan letters to our favorite authors and i wrote one to roald dahl. when my teacher told me he was dead i cried in front of the whole class. get involved.
