Rocksound - All I Want for Christmas feature .. Madina's Matthew Leone

Ecco la letterina di Natale di Matthew.... =D


Dear Santa,

All I'd like to enjoy this year for my Christmas cheer is a simple one. SImple as it's free, most of us get it anyways, and it requires nothing from you Santa. I'd like 2011 please.

This year I got an old model and I was really disappointed. It was long, pricey and my 2010 didn't even come with a Summer. I hear 2011, however, is supposed to kick ass. So I'm gonna go ahead and toss this clunker in the toilet, leave you some cookies and vodka under the tree and just take that leap of faith that you get my message.

Oh and if you by any chance have an over abundance of gifts, money and/or time, I could really go for some health insurance!

...and if i'm not being too greedy, a bit of puberty would be nice.

Matthew

Matthew Leone eroe dell'anno!

Ebbene sì, ragazzi,  è ufficiale..... grazie anche ai vostri voti, Matthew Leone è l'eroe dell'anno secondo il Kerrang! Readers' Poll!

MATTHEW LEONE
HERO OF THE YEAR

GRAZIE RIVER PEOPLE!

“Dresden Codex” will be shipping Monday through Friday. Only 2000 copies in print total and it will not be reprinted! Each cd will be numbered and customized. Since all items will be going out this week, we wanted to make sure everyone is getting exactly what they want. for those who’ve ordered shirts, please send your full name and what size you’d like to MLdresdencodex@gmail.com.
We hope you all enjoy this preamble to war, and we are working relentlessly on preparing ourselves for battle, beginning next March.

the mighty Dresden finally arrives! i think it must have walked....:

Finalmente The Dresden Codex in arrivo....ufficialmente iniziato lo shipping!!! Quindi se ne avete ordinato una copia, avrete il vostro Madina-Regalo di Natale....

the mighty Dresden finally arrives! i think it must have walked....:

I have tracked this thing, via the always convenient, UPS 120,002,004 character tracking number.it finally fired back with the ole "in transit" bit. as, i investigated further, it turns out that it has busted a move from a hub in indiana, and appears to be pulling into town sometime this evening.at which point, the guy in the brown truck, brown shirt, pants (shorts in the summer), brown hat, and casual sneakers, will be pulling out of warehouse 10D, mapquesting our place of business and ringing out buzzer. which doesn't work, so we'll have to stand there and wait all day. and that's fine....instant karma right? we made you guys wait for roughly...8 months?our bad. marathon customizing, packing and shipping sesh starts tomorrow.i will be providing an email addy for you guys to email requested shirt sizes as well.

muchos gracias,

xoxoxo madina

Matthew posta su Tumblr.... di nuovo!

E chi lo ferma più Matthew!!! sul suo Tumblr impazzano i post.....

chasingdragonflies asked: An actual question, what is your favorite way to pass time?

Aaaand, if you had to be any animal, what would you be and why? (:



anything that makes my mind stop talking to me is how i deal w the whole time conundrum.  soccer, racket ball, ghost in the grave yard, going out to dinner i love.  
i would be and believe i used to be or hopefully will be a penguin.  2nd choice whale.


chasingdragonflies asked: Never change who you are. Thanks.
You and the guys have inspired me so much over the years, that it is reflected in everything I do. I have applied for a Music Journalism course because music is now such an essential component in my life. I just wanted to say thanks. Thank you for that, and for helping me discover the passion to start writing again through your story of Madina Lake. And thank you for your beautiful music which continues to fill me up with hope each and every single day. Thank you for giving me the best nights of my life when I am lucky enough to see you at shows. Thank you for my 'Fuck Your Scene' hoodie that you gave me in Yeovil, that I practically live in. Thank you for making me and all the other RP smile like crazy every single time we see an update. Thanks for SO MUCH more.

Thank you for being an incredible person who is positive no matter what. You give me hope, Matthew.

thank YOU for existing. i can’t tell you what those words mean to me.
seriously….xoxoxo

deaddragonflies asked: Hey hey Matthew, how are you traveling buddy? I hear many exciting things have been happening in the Madina family lately with a new addition (welcome to the world Aysa!) I'm VERY excited and eager to hear the Dresden codex in it's entirety, it sounds delicious from what I've heard so far!
Take it easy, get plenty of rest and you'll be ready to hit the road before you know it :)

And seeing as this is an ask box, I should really ask a question:
My music library is getting a bit repetitive at the moment, can you suggest any bands/artists I should add to my playlist? Any new releases or classics you into at the moment?
Love Bridget xx



love the “how are you traveling”…i’m gonna garage that one and deploy it daily.
sleigh bells, freelance whales, more tom waits, of montreal, latest flaming lips (embroyonic i reckon?)  and always the mighty pumpkins, 
xoxox

lalanu asked: Did you like the cakes that you got at the Kingston show? They had football shirts, dinosaurs and superman on them!
We never got to find out if you liked them



yes, thank you and furthermore, i believe i’ve got a photo of that….pause for iphoto rummage

takebackyoursoul asked: Matthew, you've probably heard this all before but just to let you know once more, we all think you, Nathan, Mateo and Dan are fantastic.
Thank you for being such an inspiration and i will continue to wish you well throughout your recovery
Also thank you for the brilliant show in Middlesbrough, one of the greatest nights in a long time!



endless love…thank you

Matthew racconta qualche aneddoto della sua infanzia...

Matthew ha pubblicato questo blog su Tumblr.... sono due aneddoti molto carini, dunque enjoy!

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?


we had a bathroom that had 2 sinks in it. nathan and i were maybe 3 or 4 and thought if we plugged the bathtub and sinks and turned on the water we could make a swimming pool. about 45 minutes in, we had flooded a good 1/3 of the house.

the next one puzzles me til this day. our older sister allison had a doll house in her room. one day nathan and i both went in there and she was sitting down looking into the house. we asked her what she was doing and she said, “i’m watching lucille.” we looked into the dollhouse and there was this little white cloth looking thing flying around the house, completely metaphysically. we were stunned. we stared at it for what seemed like 20 minutes until it disappeared. the troubling part is that we never talked about it until 15 years later at which point allison has no idea what we’re talking about.
