Turn and face the strange changes-

What's up my dharling Clockers?
Miss you- the last two or three years has been a remarkable personal journey. I am not ready to share my recovery outright in one blog, there is time and enough space for that later, and no doubt will manifest in our next project. I had to return to my core business in Finance and until that sector was able to stabilize. Now that it's stabilizing we are ready to relaunch Punk The Clock and have a new projects in the pipeline, we have tremendous gratitude to still be here and in control of our destiny!!

Clockers, I wake up everyday so inspired to move on- I can hardly contain myself. First things first. Welcome to front row of reinventing the wheel- starting with dismantling this site and the next project unfurl! Hmmmm we need to give it a working title tho...... Perhaps for the next post. Good night, Clockers!

All glory comes from daring to begin!

What's up Clockers, Catjia here. With absolute gratitude that I am able to reconnect with you tonight. I have a bout 6 percent battery life left. Not sure where to begin or how important it its to begin where we left off, I just wanted a starting line. This will be my starting line, first things first. Alll Glory Comes From Daring to Begin!

You are my hero! A friend recaps his dinner last night....


This was glorious –



So I’m having dinner with my lady friend at Freeman’s last night. We’re shooting the shit, catching up on some nonsense and recapping stories from last year. Mind you, I’ve had a few and my voice tends to carry as my blood alcohol level rises. As we’re finishing our appetizers, my friend kicks me under the table, a subtle heads-up that Hillary Duff is walking behind me and is about to sit at the table next to me with a couple of her girlfriends. They are wasted. Fantastic.



After texting a few buddies, asking who exactly Hillary Duff is, I carry on with my stories and move on to my plate of scallops. After recapping a story about an ill-advised Vespa ride from New Jersey to Williamsburg I slowly start to notice that my story is being told in canon AKA Hillary Duff is imitating me. That’s fine, she’s clearly had a few, and, I think, maybe my stories remind her of Frère Jacques, and she just can’t help herself. I move on, going on to the next story about the monstrous garbage man in the Lower East Side. From this point onward, the imitations increase in volume and, apparently, Hillary Duff does one of those pbbt things for approximately 1 minute, at which point I turn to her and just ask, “really?” I guess my acknowledgement and quick dismissal set something off, because Hillary Duff quickly transformed from the likes of Daisy Duck to Magica De Spell. She went nuts. Screaming, yelling, announcing her presence and exclaiming that I was ruining her dinner with my awful and/or loud stories.



Awesome.



The waiter, realizing Magica was not in a good place, pulls me aside. Noting that I didn’t actually do anything wrong, he offers me a few rounds of drinks on the house, with the caveat that he’s probably going to be an asshole to me given she’s Hillary Duff and I’m an Indian dood. I clearly accept.



Upon returning to my table, I give her a quick smile and carry on to another story about why I hate Hellman’s. Due to the admirable behavior of Magica, I couldn’t really get to the end of this story – it’s hard to maintain a coherent line of thought when a) Hillary Duff is yelling at you that she hates you and b) you’re on your 5th glass of bourbon. Realizing that my Hellman’s tale can be saved for a rainy day (AKA today) and that I’m kind of fed up with being yelled at for no rational reason, I ask for the check and get up to leave.



Before I head out, I look back at the Hillary Duff, who is still yelling at me (which probably explains why she has lost so much weight, she doesn’t eat her food, she just yells at people…guarantee she yelled at her plate upon my departure). Recognizing that I’m probably never going to see Hillary Duff and/or a human incarnation of Magica De Spell again, I finally give her my 2 cents – “you’re not that important. and you need to get the f out of new york, because no one here cares if you’re a celebrity.” She says something in response, but, honestly, I was too high on my horse for it to register.



I tuck in my chair, shake our waiter’s hand and bid adieu to Freeman’s.



A glorious evening, indeed.



PS – “Hillary Duff” on the iPhone autocorrects to “Hilarious Duff”

good riddance 2008

I for one am happy to ring in the new year. This has been one of my least favorites. How many more people will lose their jobs and how many families will have their homes foreclosed on? I have never been so grateful in my life, I wake up everyday thanking God for my job, my family, my job, Punk the Clock, my friends. forget about the lose of all my possesions or my boyfriend or just being burnt out in general since last year. Personally I have never been happier, no longer do I have to answer to anyone, I am always down for something new (to avoid reruns of past scenes from a movie), I have filled up my social calendar to the max for the year end and well I love my work and what I do here at Punk The Clock. Which brings me to this, people who know me, know that mostly all I do is consume my self with my work (both at MS & PTC) well lately I have been coming out of my shell and out from those old movies. Its unnerving, socially awkward and well im always weighing what is about to come out of my mouth. I can never just be ok, or let loose at least with out regret. Why is that? What is that all about? One thing for sure is that I have been exposing myself to some pretty interesting characters, places and so with that I have been exposed to some pretty amzing up and coming talent and new artist for punk the clock to support. Head over to my Facebook page and let me know what you think of LCD...Losing my edge.
cheers clockers.

Im so psyched for Mtv's Video Music Awards looking forward to Katy Perry & Travis Barker, Mclovin it! Mark my words Punk the Clock will be at the VMA's next year- Hey all what's up? So what's on your playlist? For me Im rockin Taking Back Sunday "Where You Want To Be", its simply fresh, just like the first time hundred times, except now "New American Classic" seems to be my theme song, fckrs. If your looking to shed some of baggage on the pavement Set Phasers To Stun, clockers.
Set Phaser To Stun
Bonus Mosh pt.II
A Decade Under the Influence
I Am Fred Astaire
One Eighty By Summer

and then walk it out with New American Classic- Right.

Im totally digging Christina Aguleria's performance, totally magnetic she is the uber professional. Pink wow, I came up with these girls, Im so happy they are back on stage. Great, brilliant, Russell Brand resembles Dartagnan, uh ya know Dart from PTC. Yikes, good thing we have a sense of humor around here. Best Wishes to Pete & Ashley whom I owe alot to jumpstarting PTC V1. Does everyone agree that Tokio Hotel totally rule and we must meet boys. So aside from TBS and still digging The Airborne Toxic Event (tremendously) who's been renting space on your ipod? Hey guys if you have any photos from any Punk the Clock shows send em my way, Id be happy to post them here (catjia@punktheclock.com) for ya, I have always wanted to see through your lens.

Merci & Auvoir, Muah-

Second, Third & Fourth Chances-

With Love and hope to second chances. I feel so child like thinking about how long it’s going to take to move on, when do I start to feel again, besides feeling sorry for myself? And so what does it take? New routines, renting 14 movies and watching the full season of Family Guy. Actually reading that book my therapist handed me or finally finishing P the Cs own? Going back to a high school BBQ or rearranging the apartment to fit a new lifestyle filled with brilliant lithographs from the masters & new furniture or putting the spin on the next move for Punk The Clock. Ending the Summer 08 on a very personal, heartbroken note, really Looking forward to taking this time for myself, reinventing myself. And maybe this is the universe's way of driving us to become who we were meant to become and then bringing us back to the ones we lost somewhere along the way...

Ps. is everyone in Gym Class Heroes dating A Katie? I happen to be a huge fan of Katy Perry, Catherine Wheel & I Hate Kate-it's always better!

Pss. Reconnectting with some pretty amazing people like Melissa Johnson. Melissa has been pretty busy since leaving AbsolutePunk.net, with the launch of Halos or Horns (www.halosorhorns.com), so why don’t you head over and check it out for yourself on this fine Saturday night.

Psss. If your heading out to one of many parties tonight, dont forget to use protection. Make sure those guys wrap it up, girls. Did you know that US has the hightest rate on teen age pregnancy, higher than Africa. I dont want to preach but girls do you really want to be defined by a number other than 1?

Catjia's summer soundtrack 08

What's up Clockers? before i get into the where I have been I just wanted to spread the news about a few rounds "on the clock". I have to say that the Coldplay "Viva La Viva" has been getting me through some pretty heartfelt times lately. To top my little soundtrack is the Airborne Toxi Event- I basically want to be the herione in the lyrics. A few songs even if just one line or two have really had impact (even though not so new)- So i want to know what' would the soundtrack to your Summer 08 be, be honest with yourself when is the last time you actually listened to lyrics of a song without being distracted? Here's mine:

the Airborne Toxic Event- Sometime Around Midnight (she is going to crush you in 2)
Carolina Liar-I'm not over
MGMT-Time to pretend
Coldplay-Lost
Jack's Mannequin-the Resolution (living in the moment frozen in time)
Modest Mouse- We Have Got Everything
Tickle Me Pink-Typical
I have to pause and give this group HUGE props,
tHE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT-SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT this isnt the last time you will hear me mention this group, I like the way "tate" get's into my head and under my skin.

Low vs. Diamond
-Heart Attack
the Bravery-time just won't let me go (im so homesick for someone I never knew, for some place I'll never be)
the Bravery-Better Late than Never

the Duke Spririt-"the Step and the Walk"


and just in case....
Hope everyone has been weathering the weight of the world on your shoulder's? I know exactly what that's like...I have been carrying a shitload of baggage since PTC V3 "Property" hit shelves, dualing careers, family & more family matters, boyfriend.
Almost immediately 3 weeks to the day layoffs began at MS, due to the subprime markets & mortgage crisis literally razoring the trading floor. Pretty much paralyzed, definately curbing my ambitions, taking the phone off the hook and disappear for a while was the only thing that could possibly get me through from one day to the next. Resentful, burned out, stripped of all sensibility I had all but given up. With the pressures of 4Q layoffs Series 7 & 63 ahead im pretty much on track to be committed any day now. Family, my brother died right on the heels of the Festivus For the Rest Of Us Tour remember in December 2007 and well lets just say that the rest up until this point is really to personal to post at least for now. I feel like a turtle peeking its head out of its shell to make sure its ok to come out and start punching the clock again. So what music got me through all of it, well its always best to start at beginning, your very first inspiration do you remember that first spark? I do. But, ah I think i'll save that for another day. So while I am at the beginning of a new chapter, a new channel and rewiring the clock in the next few months these tracks or artist have begun to resonate with me. It is usually just a line or two, but enough to motivate me to come back & start to join where I left off.....
XO everyone!

Just a thought....

A note from Rock the Vote



We vote to affect change at home, but we also vote to affect change abroad. And beyond Election Day in November, it’s important that we raise our voices.

http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/site/lookup.asp?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=4325261

We are all aware of the U.S’s troubling dependence on oil. We’re not alone.

As many of you already know, in Sudan, oil is literally a matter of life and death.

Ninety percent of Sudan's export income comes from the oil industry. Most of that money funds military spending that has fueled five long years of suffering in Darfur. You can help stop the Darfur crisis.

http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/site/lookup.asp?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=4325261

Young people are calling on large American corporations to think twice about the impacts of their investments, and some key investors with ties to Sudan have already begun to listen. Thanks to Amnesty International activists, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and a few other firms are waking up to the calls for corporate social responsibility in Sudan.. But some big businesses still need convincing. Tell top U.S. investment firms that socially responsible investment in Sudan is important to you.

The most powerful investors in the world can choose to tolerate widespread murder, torture, rape and forced displacement, or they help end the human rights catastrophe in Darfur.

Join Rock the Vote and Amnesty International in supporting a socially responsible solution to help end the crisis in Darfur.

http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/site/lookup.asp?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=4325261

Sincerely,




Heather Smith

RicCioli Rundown

What’s good Clockers? The oh so not famous (yet) RiCCioLi Rundown is back is effect. A lot of awesome stuff is going on around here lately so get ready to catch up folks!

What did you guys do this past Tuesday? It was a huge day for our dear friends; The Matches. Let’s see what they did...






Thats right people, The Matches 3rd studio album has hit shelves everywhere! It’s titled "A Band In Hope" and I personally think it’s their best album to date. Songs like AM Tilts, Wake The Sun, Point Me Toward The Morning, Yankee In A Chip Shop, and If I Were You all make me want to jump out of my seat and dance every time. Then there is also Darkness Rising. It reminds me of The Matches do Nightmare Before Christmas with crazy instrumentals. And who could forget the once PTC Exclusive, Their City? That song will never get old. So if you havent yet, run out to the store and pick up "A Band In Hope."

Inamere Is Caught Up In Disaster!!
Fresh out of the studio, Inamere is back and packing a bunch for 2008. They just got back from Georgia with some fresh new tracks for their upcoming album! Their first song has been posted here. Don’t forget, you can listen to Inamere’s PTC Exclusive track "Hit The Floor" on our myspace player too.

Even The Starting Line Needs A Break.
Last week The Starting Line announced that they were going to be taking a long over due break after their tour is over this spring. Don’t worry though, this isnt a break up or hiatus. The band has already said they arent breaking up and will still make music in the future. Interested in why this is going down; read here.
I can’t blame the guys for wanting to take a break, they have been doing it for what seems a lifetime. Dont miss The Starting Line on tour right now with my good friends in Bayside and Four Year Strong.

Speaking Of Four Year Strong...
Last month they signed to the Decaydance family! Huge congratz to them! These guys are going to explode this year and everyone of us at Punk The Clock saw this coming over a year ago. Why else would we put them on PTC 3? They freakin rule!

Do You Own Punk The Clock Vol. 3: Property Of A Gentleman??
If so, please voice your opinion of it. We want all the feedback on it possible to make our next installment even better. Wow, thats gunna be hard. Stop by here.

Thanks for reading everyone! Don’t forget to pick up PTC 3 at any best buy, fye, or hot topic. Feeling lazier than the furniture? Then just jump onto iTunes and purchase it there for only $9.99

-RiCCioLi

Enjoy The Matches Brand New Video for "Wake The Sun".

FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US


Punk the Clock is wrapping up 2007 with I Surrender Records & SIRE Records.


Punk the Clock, along with I Surrender and Armor For Sleep, is proud to present the heart-warming, celebratory, non-denominational holiday event of the year: The FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US tour, featuring Valencia, Four Year Strong, The High Court (on select dates), and special guests Armor for Sleep.
Following the success of 2005’s What to Do When You Are Dead, New Jersey’s Armor for Sleep (12/27-12/29) recently released Smile for Them on Sire Records. The album’s first single "Williamsburg" was premiered on Total Request Live, and the intense, power-rock melodies of Smile are already turning heads across the MTV stations. Armor for Sleep just wrapped up the Sleeping With Giants tour with The Academy Is… and The Rocket Summer.

Fresh off the road from a full US tour with Boys Like Girls and All Time Low, Philadelphia natives Valencia will be premiering songs off their new album, the highly anticipated follow-up to their
debut, This Could Be A Possibility. The band have gained over 75,000 friends and nearly 4 million plays on MySpace with their infectious, multi-layered rock sound. Valencia will also be hitting the road in February for a stint across the UK with theAudition.

Four Year Strong create a unique blend of power-pop and hardcore, with influences ranging from Gorilla Biscuits to Saves the Day. Hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, the band has already made themselves known on the Smartpunk Top 100 Sales and Purevolume "Most Played" charts with their debut full-length, Rise or Die Trying. Four Year Strong have recently made waves across the ocean with a spread in UK’s Tuned magazine, featured as "Album of the Month".

The High Court have been touring non-stop in support of their debut album, Puppet Strings, which was praised by Absolutepunk.net as "music [that is] miles above any of the band’s contemporaries, [with] lyrical approaches which are blunt, crass, sexy and just really interesting." The New Jersey quartet boasts a confident
swagger and an undeniable charm that leaves listeners begging for more.

In support of the PTC compilation, Punk The Clock wraps 2007 with a finale of artist featured on V3 Property Of A Gentleman: Valencia, Four Year Strong, The High Court (on select dates). PTC is totally psyched to trim the home front with Armor For Sleep. PTC V3 track listing includes 19 exclusive & unreleased tracks from Jacks Mannequin, The Almost, the Matches, Say Anything, Lostprophets, Anchor & Braille, Nightmare of You, Permanent Me and introduces Inamere, Ellison & Pictures In Pieces.

Festivus For the Rest Of Us is a brilliant topper to a year of touring with Jack's Mannequin West Coast Winter tour, The Audition Spring 2007 tour & the Hot Topic Punk The Clock Life & Lies tour cosponsored with Hurley, AbsolutePunk.net, Purevolume & RecCenter.

Deck the halls and catch these bands at the end of December for a
holiday extravaganza that isn’t to be missed.

Dec 27 2007 Philadelphia, PA @ The Trocadero

Dec 28 2007 South Hackensack, NJ @ School Of Rock

Dec 29 2007 Worcester, MA @ The Palladium

Dec 30 2007 Scranton, PA @ Tinks


Best, Catjia


Happy Festivus Everyone!

Casey Calvert 1981-2007 Hawthorne Heights

Our most sincere condolences to the family, fans of Casey Calvert & Hawthorne Heights may you forever find peace. Thank you for your inspiration and song while you were here.
(MTV is reporting the following)
Calvert, 26, was pronounced dead on Saturday after police were called to the band's tour bus outside Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club around 2:30 p.m. and found him unconscious. The Washington Post reported that Calvert's death came one day after he and his bandmates — frontman JT Woodruff, guitarist Micah Carli, bassist Matt Ridenour and drummer Eron Bucciarelli — boarded the bus to begin their Wintour 2007 outing, which kicked off Friday night in Detroit. Police are still awaiting results of an autopsy, though some reports speculate that his death might have been caused by a pre-existing condition related to acute asthma.

On the group's Web site, fellow bandmembers announced the death of their "quirky and awesome best friend," who they said had "passed away in his sleep."

"Today is probably the worst day ever," the group wrote. "It's with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before soundcheck. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know. Sincerely, Hawthorne Heights: Eron, JT, Micah and Matt."

Meanwhile, fans have begun filling Hawthorne's MySpace page with messages of support and sadness, celebrating Calvert's life and remembering the music he made with the band.

Update on the Life & Lies tour

Clockers!
I always enjoy sneaking into on our own show and yesterday was no exception at the Saints & Sinners Festival, thank you Jessica from RecCenter.com for uber access passes!
Getting to meet the bands is always a plus for me and I was really anticipating getting to see theses guys perform for the first time and even more anxious to find out how the tour was going and to finally get to see Riccioli.

Clockers, this is the most underated tour I have yet to be a part of. First of all the talent is over the top So They Say's new album "Life In Surveillance" this album is nothing short of a clutch track listing and is in stores now (trust me i wake up to their commercials everyday on MTV) head over to www.myspace.com/sotheysay to judge for your self! like i said WTF are these guys are totally underated, which brings me to the next band on the tour Love Hate Hero- these guys totally know how to connect with their audience, and i never got bored watching Thrasher who is destined to claim his place in guitar world history mark my words here. You have to come to the show, the Life & Lies tour is not one to miss. The line up resumes on Tuesday at Jaxx in West Virginia and make sure you get to the venue to see Before Their Eyes, Tokyo Rose, & National Product.

Clockers, we really want to hear from you be my guest, write a reveiw and we are happy to post it here, absolutepunk tour journal and at punktheclock.com.
This tour is brought to by our friends at Hot Topic, AbsolutePunk.net Sidecho Records, SmartPunk, Ferret Records, Fearless Records, Substream Music Press, Rise Records, R&M records- for more dates and tickets
