You don’t use your body; it uses you. – Scott Westerfeld • As a teenager, you have so much energy and hormones and you feel powerless in your life. – Patricia Arquette

Red-heads are fair-to-middling torrid, and brunettes are the frigidest of all. It’s something to do with hormones, no doubt. – Ronald Reagan • Brain wave tests prove that when we use positive words, our “feel good” hormones flow. Positive self-talk releases endorphins and serotonin in our brain, which then flow throughout our body, making us feel good. These neurotransmitters stop flowing when we use negative words. – Ruth Fishel

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Can we please focus? We are supposed to be professionals.” Holly said. “Not me!” said Orion cheerily, “I’m just a Teenager with hormones running wild and may I say, young fairy lady, they’re running wild in your direction. – Eoin Colfer • Chocolate is an extraordinary source of key stress-fighting minerals including: magnesium, iron, chromium, vanadium, copper, zinc, manganese, and phosphorus. These minerals favorably influence a woman’s hormone system, which explains why chocolate has always been considered important for a woman’s monthly cycle. – David Wolfe • Complex carbohydrates are always best, except, again, after a workout where you could take simple (sugar) carbohydrates to get an insulin spike. But at other times doing this is not very beneficial because insulin is a storage hormone and it’s going to shunt everything into the muscle. – Dorian Yates • Cows given genetically modified growth hormones make more milk, but have painful swollen udders, have ulcers, joint pain, miscarriages, deformed calves, infertility, and much shorter life spans. Their milk contains blood, pus, tranquilizers, antibiotics, and an insulin growth factor that can cause a fourfold increase in prostate cancer and sevenfold rise in breast cancer. This is the milk used in our school lunch programs and served to our children. This is the milk that you buy every day. This is the milk used in all cheeses, yogurts, butter, and cream. – Kevin Trudeau • Do you know how many men that are out of work that just stand around on the corner just watching your daughters coming home from school? Today, with the hormonal things that they are putting in foods, these hormones, when you eat the meat, you’ll find a nine-year-old daughter with breasts bigger than her mother’s, hips wider than her mother’s – and men haven’t got anything to do but sit and watch you go and come from school. – Louis Farrakhan • Does Grandpa love to baby-sit his grandchildren?

At night he and Grandma are too busy doing the cha-cha. – Hal Boyle • During meditation, our breathing slows, our blood pressure and heart rate decrease, and stress hormone levels fall. – Deepak Chopra • Each of our cells is a living entity, and the main thing that influences them is our blood. If I open my eyes in the morning and my beautiful partner is in front of me, my perception causes a release of oxytocin, dopamine, growth hormones – all of which encourage the growth and health of my cells. But if I see a saber tooth tiger, I’m going to release stress hormones which change the cells to a protection mode. People need to realize that their thoughts are more primary than their genes, because the environment, which is influenced by our thoughts, controls the genes. – Bruce H. Lipton • Estrogen is a powerful if vengeful hormone affecting a woman’s fertility, moods, sleep patterns, appetite. Estrogen is the household heating oil of womanhood. – Marilyn Suzanne Miller • Even while it’s true that we are tied to our molecules and proteins and neurons – as strokes and hormones and drugs and microorganisms indisputably tell us – it does not logically follow that humans are best described only as pieces and parts. – David Eagleman • Exposure to some pesticides during infancy, even at very low levels, can lead to serious life-long consequences if the pesticides disrupt hormone-driven developmental processes. – Charles Benbrook • Film is a disease. When it infects your bloodstream, it takes over as the number one hormone; it bosses the enzymes; directs the pineal gland; plays Iago to your psyche. As with heroin, the antidote to film is more film.- Frank Capra • For me I’m natural not because somebody else believes I’m natural, I’m natural because I don’t use steroids, I don’t use growth hormone, I don’t use any of those enhancers. I’m natural in my own right because I don’t do that and not because other people accept the fact that I’m natural or not. – Kai Greene • For me, food is all about balance.

It’s important to make sure that the meat you’re consuming is hormone-free. – Curtis Stone • Fortified plant-based milks are delicious and contain all the calcium, protein, and vitamin D of dairy products but with none of the cholesterol, lactose, hormones, or cruelty found in cow’s milk. – Ingrid Newkirk • Gotta love alcohol and sex hormones. – Tucker Max • Hormones are nature’s three bottles of beer. – Mary Roach • Hormones are very powerful things. We are helpless in their wake. – Meg Cabot • Hormones influencing the sensitivity of the person to environmental stimuli. – Robert M. Sapolsky • Hormones were as potent as whiskey, and twice as sneaky. – Linda Howard • How much needless despair has been caused by a series of biological mismatches, a misalignment of the hormones and pheromones? Resulting in the fact that the one you love so passionately won’t or can’t love you. As a species we’re pathetic that way: imperfectly monogamous. – Margaret Atwood • However, when given the chance, many people choose cocaine over love. I wouldn’t say that’s a bad choice. The endorphins released during infatuation are similar to heroin. OxyContin, “the cuddling hormone,” most often found in new mothers and newlyweds, is like ecstasy; every touch tingles. I think I read that somewhere. Love exists in powder. Love exists in pills. We are all addicts.- Pete Wentz • Human sexuality includes more than hormones, organs, and orgasms; it runs through the psychic and spiritual ranges of our lives. We experience our sexuality on the spiritual level as a yearning for another person. We want to reach out and stretch ourselves into the depths of another. We want to bring the other person into the orbit of our deepest selves. We want to probe into the mystery of the other. – Lewis B. Smedes • I always have really fresh, hormone-free, additive-free chicken, healthy veggies, and brown rice in the fridge to grab because I’m always on the go. – Laura Prepon • I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. – Chelsea Manning • I can be a bit grumpy. Im full of angst, and hormones. – Nicholas Hoult • I cry all the time. It’s more like when didn’t you cry. My friends are like, ‘Oh God, she’s sobbing again.’ I cry if I’m happy, sad, normal… What really gets me is when I read a sad story about a child in the paper, especially at the moment with my hormones raging. – Sara Cox • I didn’t really get the chance to talk to girls. I was a straight boy with hormones kicking in, and I wanted to talk to girls, but they weren’t interested in talking back to me, so there was a real sense of loneliness. – Andy Biersack • I don’t believe in bodybuilders using steroids. If a man doesn’t have enough male hormones in his system to create, a nice hard, muscular body, he should take up ping pong. – Steve Reeves • I don’t believe, for instance, that evolutionary biology or any scientific endeavor has much to say about love. I’m sure a lot can be learned about the importance of hormones and their effects on our feelings. But do the bleak implications of evolution have any impact on the love I feel for my family? Do they make me more likely to break the law of flaunt society’s expectations of me? No. I simply does not follow that human relationships are meaningless just because we live in a godless universe subject to the natural laws of biology. – Greg Graffin • I don’t have emotions about a lot of things. I rarely get angry, I rarely cry. I guess I do get excited a lot, but I don’t get sad and enormously happy. I think a lot of people who talk about all that crap are lying. Right now I’m just trying to maintain happiness — that’s all I really care about. Anyway, when you’re my age and your hormones are kicking in, there’s not much besides sex that’s on your mind. – Leonardo DiCaprio • I don’t prefer to fill my body with antibiotics, pesticides, steroids, and growth hormones – my body is my temple, and I treat it as such. – Suzanne Whang • I don’t recommend steroids for everyone, and I don’t recommend growth hormones for everyone, but for certain individuals, I truly believe, because I’ve experimented with it for so many years, that it can make an average athlete a super athlete. It can make a super athlete-incredible. Just legendary. – Jose Canseco • I have a 14 year old daughter now. You know, it was that time in these kids lives when these girls are becoming women and the hormones are raging. They didn’t know if The Beatles were any good, they just went for it ’cause The Beatles were attractive. – Jack Jones • I have a neuroscience background – that’s what my doctorate is in – and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that. – Mayim Bialik • I have my hormones balanced. Most doctors are giving women synthetic hormones, which just eliminate the symptoms, but it’s doing nothing to actually replace the hormones you have lost. Without our hormones we die. – Suzanne Somers • I just feel like estrogen is bad hormones, and seen as shameful. – Jen Kirkman • I think all presidents should have teenage girls before they become presidents. If you can handle those hormones, you can handle anything.- Mila Kunis • I think there’s something your hormones do that makes a chemical change in the way you think. – Boots Riley • I think when you start messing with your own hormones, it’s crazy-making. – Rebecca Romijn • I told the truth about steroids and human growth hormone. I injected those drugs into the body of Roger Clemens at his direction. Unfortunately, Roger has denied this and has led a full-court attack on my credibility – Jim Lehrer • I will try to hold on to the intense feeling. I will both be glad that that’s no longer happening and kind of miss it. When you’re 14, you’re basically on drugs all the time – the hormones in your body are so crazy. But I really loved and appreciated the intensity of that. And you’re experiencing everything for the first time, so everything feels like an epiphany. And, like, I really liked the experience of having a crush, because I was like, this is my thing and it doesn’t have to do with you and you’re just some dummy boy for me to project on. – Tavi Gevinson • I’d sacrificed true love and a popped cherry to the god of deception and hormones.” – Zoey Redbird – P. C. Cast • If I had ever, in any medium, seen any researcher or popularizer refer even once to any supposedly ay-producing circumstance as the proper hormone balance, or the conducive endocrine environment, for gay generation, I would be less chilled by the breezes of all this technological confidence. – Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick • If I have to draw attention away from some hormone-induced acne on my chin, I put on a lot of mascara. – Olivia Wilde • If men went through menopause, we’d know everything about it, but we still don’t even know if we should be taking hormones. – Joycelyn Elders • If pornographers can hook adolescents when their hormones are raging, they know they’ll have an ongoing consumer base for life. – Donna Rice Hughes • If technology and medicine are used by women to have children or not to have children or to have healthier children – that’s one thing. But if it’s used to say, ‘You’re not a real woman unless you have a child, therefore take all these dangerous hormones and have one at 54,” then it’s another story. – Gloria Steinem • If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn’t it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long? – Gloria Steinem • If you want a cow to be not just a cow but a milk machine, you can do a very good job at that by creating new hormones like the Bovine Growth Hormone. It might make the cow very ill, it might turn it into a drug addict, and it might even create consumer scares about the health and safety aspects of the milk. But we’ve gotten so used to manipulating objects and organisms and ecosystems for a single objective that we ignore the costs involved. I call this the “monoculture of the mind.” – Vandana Shiva • I’m a bit of a slag… Some people don’t think it’s very nice, but I don’t care… I’ve got hormones, and sex is there, so why not? Sex is good. Everybody does it, and everybody should! – Robbie Williams • I’m beginning to think that women should be denied the vote. Their hormones rage; they are too emotional. – Michael Savage • I’m really big on hormones. – Jen Kirkman

• In 1974 I nearly got into a fistfight with some early academic feminists in a restaurant when I casually alluded to a hormonal element in sex differences. It was utterly unacceptable at that time to think or say such a thing… If you have any doubts about the effect of hormones on emotion, libido and aggression, have a chat with a transexual, who must take hormones medically. He or she will set you straight. – Camille Paglia • In general, I try to eat food without added hormones and pesticides, but I’m not so strict that I won’t have a Big Mac once in a while. – Missy Peregrym • In Russia, show the least athletic aptitude and they’ve got you dangling off the parallel bars with a leotard full of hormones. – Victoria Wood • In the 21st century our tastes buds, our brain chemistry, our biochemistry, our hormones and our kitchens have been hijacked by the food industry. – Mark Hyman, M.D. • Industrial agriculture now accounts for over half of America’s water pollution. Two years ago, Pfiesteria outbreaks connected with wastes from industrial chicken factories forced the closure of two major tributaries of the Chesapeake and threatened Maryland’s vital shellfish industry. Tyson Foods has polluted half of all streams in northwestern Arkansas with so much fecal bacteria that swimming is prohibited. Drugs and hormones needed to keep confined animals alive and growing are mainly excreted with the wastes and saturate local waterways. – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. • Isn’t it strange how upset people get about a few dozen baseball players taking growth hormones, when we’re doing what we’re doing to our food animals and feeding them to our children? – Jonathan Safran Foer • It is important to understand that while oxytocin may be the hub of the evolution of the social brain in mammals, it is part of a very complex system. Part of what it does is act in opposition to stress hormones, and in that sense release of oxytocin feels good – as stress hormones and anxiety do not feel good. – Patricia Churchland • It seems that one moment I was this little kid only caring about animals and flowers and stuff, and then the next minute I was this raging stew of hormones. I don’t know if you’ve ever been a raging stew of anything, but I wouldn’t particularly recommend it. – Julie Burchill • It turns out that we literally don’t empathize unless we’re physically present – that the oxytocin, the famous “tend and befriend” hormone is not produced unless we’re present with all five senses. – Gloria Steinem • Laughter is very infectious, and why it should be so is a most interesting neurological problem. But it also has other, more physiological, benefits. Apparently it boosts the immune system, reduces stress hormones, massages the heart and diaphragm and engenders a ‘feel good’ factor. – Semir Zeki • Learning as we go… Why didn’t they tell us this before? We, the consumers, are supposed to be docile guinea pigs in a vast but uncontrolled experiment with powerful hormones (HRT). That’s quite a commentary on “scientific medicine”. – Ralph W. Moss • Love is indeed at root the product of the firings of neurons and release of hormones. – Julian Baggini • Lower your cortisol level. The happiest people have the lowest level of cortisol, a stress hormone that raises blood pressure and weakens the immune system. Cut the stress-more yoga, less road rage-and you’ll cut your cortisol production. – Daniel Gilbert • Male love circuits get an extra kick when stress levels are high. After an intense physical challenge, for instance, males will bond quickly and sexually with the first willing female they lay eyes on. Women, by contrast, will rebuff advances or expressions of affection and desire when under stress. The reason may be that the stress hormone cortisol blocks oxytocin’s action in the female brain, abruptly shutting off a woman’s desire for sex and physical touch. – Louann Brizendine • Managing our emotions increases intuition and clarity. It helps us self-regulate our brain chemicals and internal hormones. It gives us natural highs, the real fountain of youth we’ve been searching for. It enables us to drink from elixirs locked within our cells, just waiting for us to discover them. – Doc Childre • Maybe love was a myth anyhow, a brew of hormones and fantasy, evolution’s way of getting men and women together long enough for them to procreate,back in the day when girls got pregnant at twelve, were pregnant or nursing for the next twenty years, and were dead of the plague by forty. – Jennifer Weiner • Medications can lower a woman’s sex drive and interfere with a woman’s ability to climax. These medications include antidepressants, birth control pills and hormone medications. I only know of three antidepressants that do not interfere with a woman’s sexual function. – Drew Pinsky • Money is like hormones. It’s just how you feel on any given day. – Janice Dickinson • Much violence against women originates in emotional territory that they already command. By midlife and early old age, as the hormones of both genders change, women are in total, despotic control of their marriages. – Camille Paglia • My heart and prayers go out to all single moms because it’s tough, and I can’t imagine any teenager dealing with a baby and all those hormones raging. – Jill Scott • My tumour is a benign pituitary tumour, in the pituitary gland – which is the main hormone centre of the body. It’s in the centre of the brain. (Fun fact, [Rene] Descartes thought our consciousness was to be found in the pituitary gland.) And the thing is, there aren’t really many symptoms that show until it’s too late. – John Newman • Natural childbirth allows the hormones that have been working for women for thousands of years to fulfill their functions. This is more important than just helping a woman through labor and delivery. Birth-related hormones also affect well-being much later in life. – Janet Schwegel • Nobody in the scientific or medical world thinks that homosexuality is something that people choose. It’s something we are. Now, I didn’t choose to be heterosexual. I just woke up when I was about twelve years old and girls didn’t look obnoxious to me any longer, but I didn’t make a choice about the matter. I just responded to my own hormones. – John Shelby Spong • Not me,” said Orion cheerily. “I’m just a teenager with hormones running wild. And may I say ,young fairy lady, they’re running wild in your direction.” Holly lifted her visor and looked the hormonal teenager in the eye. “This had better not be a game, Artemis. If you do not have some serious psychosis, you will be sorry.” “Oh, I’m crazy, alright. I do have plenty of psychoses,” said Orion Cheerily. “Multiple personality, delusional dementia, OCD. I’ve got them all, but most of all, I’m crazy about you. – Eoin Colfer • Nothing better for the hormones and worse for the heart than the right boy at the right time. – Jacquelyn Mitchard • Oh I believe in loving cats and dogs and children and parents – sometimes – but I don’t believe in romantic love. Of course, there’s the momentary rush of hormones and chemicals that encourages us to mate, but it’s biology – it’s no more inherently mystical than the nicotine in that cigarette you’re smoking – Amy Jenkins • Oh, love is very much a physical thing…. I realize that it’s very complicated, and I’m sure it can’t be traced to individual neurons and hormones, but I think it’s very much a physiological sensation that takes place in the brain. – Alan Lightman • One reason milk consumption may lead to cancer risk is insulin-like growth factor, IGF-1 (not to be confused with bovine growth hormone, rBGH). Milk contains IGF-1 for good reason: milk is designed for babies, and IGF-1 helps us grow. IGF-1 affects growth, as well as other functions, and is normally found in our blood. Higher levels of IGF-1, however, appear to stimulate cancer cells. – Alison Stewart • Oxytocin is a Teflon hormone – bad news rolls off it. – Robert M. Sapolsky • Oxytocin is the hormone of love. We share it when we have a good conversation, we share it when we make love, and when we hug, and BIRTH is the biggest brightest time of rich oxytocin-sharing. – Robin Lim • Pierce Brosnan is a very sweet man. Oh, we had our issues, but a lot of it was hormones. – Stephanie Zimbalist • Q: What’s the difference between an enzyme and a hormone? A: You can’t hear an enzyme. – Dorothy Parker • Science is now the craft of the manipulation, substitution and deflection of the forces of nature. What I see coming is a gigantic slaughterhouse, an Auschwitz, in which valuable enzymes, hormones, and so on will be extracted instead of gold teeth. – Erwin Chargaff • She should have remembered her past experiences in the relationship wars and not let herself get so excited. Evidently her hormones had overruled her common sense and she had become drunk on ovarian wine, the most potent, sanity- destroying substance in the universe. – Linda Howard • She’s easy to lead around, a shiny present here, a pretty compliment there, and you have true love and a popped cherry sacrificed to the god of deception and hormones. Young girls are so ridiculous–so predictably easy. – P. C. Cast • Sleep and meditation are key. Natural sleep for 8 hours will help remove toxins from the body, help consolidate memory, create order from chaos. Sleep activates good hormones that are associated with rejuvenation and slowing down the ageing process. – Deepak Chopra • So what name would you rather I call you? she asked as she headed out of the parking lot. Ias or Alexion. He gave her a devilish grin that set fire to her hormones. I would rather you call me lover. He wagged his eyebrows playfully at her. Danger rolled her eyes. Like all men with a onetrack mind, he was incorrigible. Don’t blame me, Alexion said in an almost offended tone. I can’t help it. You should see the way you fight. It really turned me on. Could you tell me how to turn you off? -Danger and Alexion – Sherrilyn Kenyon • So you love me,” said Petra softly when the kiss ended. I’m a raging mass of hormones thet I’m too young to understand,” said Bean. “You’re a female of a closely related species. According to all the best primatologists, I really have no choice.” That’s nice,” she said. – Orson Scott Card • Tall, completely jacked, steroids, like multiple growth hormones. That’s, like, the type that I’m attracted to. – JWoww • Teenage boys, goaded by their surging hormones run in packs like the primal horde. They have only a brief season of exhilarating liberty between control by their mothers and control by their wives. – Camille Paglia • Tell me why the stars do shine, Tell me why the ivy twines, Tell me what makes skies so blue, And I’ll tell you why I love you. Nuclear fusion makes stars to shine, Tropisms make the ivy twine, Raleigh scattering make skies so blue, Testicular hormones are why I love you. – Isaac Asimov • Testosterone is a sex hormone, and I think it is the most social of hormones. The major social effect of testosterone is to orient us toward issues of sex and power. By the end of puberty testosterone levels in males are 8 to 10 times higher than in females, but decrease with age. – James McBride • That connection between hormones and mood is so important to get a handle on, and it’s also really important when you’re considering taking medication. – Ayelet Waldman • The chicken that we eat is chock-full of feminine hormones. So, when men eat these chickens, they deviate from themselves as men. – Evo Morales • The critical part with meal spacing is that you stabilize your hormones so that you do not have those spikes in insulin that occur when you eat large meals. – Ian K. Smith • The curse of modern times is the preponderance of male hormones in places where they can do long-term damage. Even if were not talking about wars between nations or assaults on nature, there’s still that aggressiveness that keeps us apart from each other and the problems we need to be working on. – Robert James Waller • The curse of modern times is the propensity of male hormones in places where they can do the most damage – Robert James Waller • The genetic theory of homosexuality has been generally discarded today. . . . Despite the interest in possible hormone mechanisms in the origin of homosexuality, no serious scientist today suggests that a simple cause-effect relationship applies. – William H. Masters • The journey to a different future must begin by defining the problem differently than we have done until now. . The task is not to find substitutes for chemicals that disrupt hormones, attack the ozone layer, or cause still undiscovered problems, though it may be necessary to use replacements as a temporary measure. The task that confronts us over the next half century is one of redesign. – Theo Colborn • The medication, the hormones and the relentless frustrations of our lives make us bitchy and you’re not allowed to be bitchy in public or people won’t like you. – Liane Moriarty • The more you worry, the more you throw off the delicate balance of hormones required for health. – Andrew Bernstein • The Most Secret Quintessence of Life is an original work filled with rich, new research, relying on important primary literature which has not, until now, been plumbed and digested. In this book, Chandak Sengoopta offers both a history of hormone discovery and a chronicle of how this discovery transformed our concepts of the body and how our existing concepts of sex and sexuality, in turn, informed our concepts for understanding hormones. – Anne Fausto-Sterling • The older your teenagers are, the more they will have their own ideas and opinions. If you take them seriously, rather than assuming your ideas are always best and the only ones, you will begin to grow a relationship that will extend beyond the hormone-group years. – Kevin Leman • The only and absolute perfect union of two is when a baby hangs suspended in its mother’s womb, like a tiny madman in a padded cell, attached to her, feeling her blood and hormones, and moods play through its body, feeling her feelings. – Diane Ackerman • The real problem devolves around class lines once again: it’s the street hormones that folks without insurance, or folks who are too young for prescriptions without parental okay, use. Sometimes those hormones can be pretty rough. – Kate Bornstein • The romance of circumvention is one of the most destructive forces at work in our society. The American Idol freeway to greatness, Instagramming one’s way into popular consciousness with selfies of our ass folds beneath short shorts, human growth hormone and performance-enhancing drugs for athletes, Adderall for the idle mind, reality television that sacrifices our dignity for fifteen lousy minutes. – Daniel Gillies • The secret truth of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ is that it isn’t very hard… ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ is easy like junior high is easy. All the arithmetic, the creative writing and the history are super simple, but like junior high, you do that easy work surrounded by people who are full-tilt, hormone-raging bug nutty. – Penn Jillette • The survey of more than 100 waterways downstream from treatment plants and animal feedlots in 30 states found minute amounts of dozens of antibiotics, hormones, pain relievers, cough suppressants, disinfectants and other products. It is not known whether they are harmful to plants, animals or people. The findings were released yesterday on the Web site of the United States Geological Survey, which conducted the research, and in an online journal, Environmental Science and Technology. – Andrew Revkin • The young folks that are coming into each of your services are anywhere from 17 to 22 or 23. Gee whiz, the hormone level created by nature sets in place the possibility for these types of things to occur. So we’ve got to be very careful how we address it on our side. – Saxby Chambliss • There are many other (besides testosterone) behaviour-eliciting hormones fundamental for humen well-being, including estrogen and progesterone in females. The fact that complex behavioural patterns can be triggered by a tiny concentration of moleculas coursing through the bloodstream, and that different animals of the same species generate different amounts of these hormones, is something worth thinking about when it’s time to judge such matters as free will, individual responsibility, and law and order. – Carl Sagan • There he is, a woman’s living, breathing fantasy, doing his slow, cocky turn, spiky black hair, darkly tanned chest, dimpled smile-killer smile-all in the package of Remington Tate. He’s perfection itself, and a new surge of hormones sweeps through me as I do what the rest of the crowd does and take in his visual, so blatantly on display in those low riding boxing shorts and so strikingly sexy, he becomes the center of my attention. The center. Of my. World. – Katy Evans • There was something about Ash that made every hormone in her body stand up and pant for more – Sherrilyn Kenyon • There’s really no such thing as the agony of dying. I’m quite sure that pain is shut off at the moment of death. You see, something happens when the body knows it’s about to go. Peptide hormones are released by cells in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Endorphins. They attach themselves to the cells responsible for feeling pain. – Lewis Thomas • These growth hormones, where can I get a bunch of them? Is there some way that, with electricity, you could stimulate your own growth hormones? Plug yourself in for five minutes, there’d be a little jolt, but you’d get used to it. It wouldn’t be bad at all; in fact, you’d get to enjoy it, probably. Then away you’d go, and youth wouldn’t be wasted on the young anymore. You’d be 25, with a 95-year-old mind. Granddad would start breaking into liquor stores and staying out late. Hope we have it soon! – David Lynch • These hormones still belong to the physiologist and to the clinical investigator as much as, if not more than, to the practicing physician. But as Professor Starling said many years ago, ‘The physiology of today is the medicine of tomorrow’. – Philip Showalter Hench • They were angry, I thought. Horrified. These teenagers, with their hormones, making out beneath a video broadcasting the shattered voice of a former father. – John Green • This is the burgeoning days of feminism. This is when the militant feminists are the feminism hormones are raging. They are excited. They are happy. This is a new day! They are through being plugged into these formulas where men run everything and you’re in servitude to them. – Rush Limbaugh • Thyroid Panel (blood test)-Abnormal thyroid hormone levels are a common cause of anxiety, depression, forgetfulness, confusion, and lethargy. Having low thyroid levels decreases overall brain activity, which can impair your thinking, judgment, and self-control and make it very hard for you to feel good. Low thyroid functioning can make it nearly impossible to manage weight effectively. To know your thyroid levels, you need to know these figures: thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Free T3 Free T4 Thyroid antibodies (thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies) – Daniel Amen • To control your hormones is to control your life. – Barry Sears • To out-group-members, oxytocin makes you crappier – less cooperative and more preemptively aggressive. It’s not the luv hormone. It’s the in-group parochialism/xenophobia hormone. – Robert M. Sapolsky • Try and stay away from dairy – especially if you’re a woman! It’s really hard on your hormones. – Megan Fox • We are eating hybridized and genetically modified (GMO) foods full of antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, and additives that were unknown to our immune systems just a generation or two ago. The result? Our immune system becomes unable to recognize friend or foe – to distinguish between foreign molecular invaders we truly need to protect against and the foods we eat or, in some cases, our own cells. In Third World countries where hygiene is poor and infections are common, allergy and autoimmunity are rare. – Mark Hyman, M.D. • We find ourselves facing a rising tide of biologically active, synthetic organic chemicals. Some tinker with our hormones. Some attach themselves to our chromosomes and trigger mutations. Some cripple the immune system. Some light up our genes and so enhance the production of certain enzymes. If we could metabolize these chemicals into completely benign breakdown products and excrete them, they would pose less of a hazard. Instead, a good many of them accumulate. – Sandra Steingraber • We found if you took the dog out for 45 minutes a day and worked with it that the solitary stress hormone, cortisol, went down. But then it went right back up again because they didn’t keep doing it. – Temple Grandin • We’re all just bags of bones and muscle and hormones; I’ll never understand what makes our minds do the things we do. It’s like that statue of the monkey holding a skull. We’re trying to use a thing we don’t understand to understand ourselves. – Meshell Ndegeocello • We’re doing a great disservice to our young people because the only protection is abstinence, as condoms have been proven fallible. The federal government should not be telling young people to use condoms. It’s also an insult to teenagers, reducing them to the level of a dog that can’t control its hormones. – Christine O’Donnell • What basically happens is your hormones get out of whack. Because of the stress in your life your body says, ‘I need more hormones.’ So, your hormones are trying to produce and produce and produce, and it’s even more stressful and it is this wicked cycle. – Marie Osmond • What good men most biologists are, the tenors of the scientific world – temperamental, moody, lecherous, loud-laughing, and healthy. Your true biologist will sing you a song as loud and off-key as will a blacksmith, for he knows that morals are too often diagnostic of prostatitis and stomach ulcers. Sometimes he may proliferate a little too much in all directions, but he is as easy to kill as any other organism, and meanwhile he is very good company, and at least he does not confuse a low hormone productivity with moral ethics. – John Steinbeck • What I learned was there are hormones, and most people are sexual. They may go through stages where they might do things where they go above and beyond, but this is something else. – Stuart Blumberg • What we like about women is sensuality, wildness, hormones. Women who make a song and dance about their intuition. – Yasmina Reza • Wheatgrass juice is the nectar of rejuvenation, the plasma of youth, the blood of all life. The elements that are missing in your body’s cells-especially enzymes, vitamins, hormones, and nucleic acids can be obtained through this daily green sunlight transfusion. – Viktoras Kulvinskas • When a male vole repeatedly mates with a female, a hormone called vasopressin is released in his brain. The vasopressin binds to receptors in a part of the brain called the nucleus accumbens, and the binding mediates a pleasurable feeling that becomes associated with that female. This locks in the monogamy, which is known as pair-bonding. If you block this hormone, the pair-bonding goes away. – David Eagleman • When birth control pills were available in Europe but not in the United States, American women created an uproar about how the unwillingness to make the pill available showed a contempt for the lives of women. When the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released birth control pills with high dosages of hormones that were later found to be unnecessarily high, they were attacked for not caring about women enough to do the necessary tests. – Warren Farrell • When dogs and humans make eye contact, that actually releases what’s known as the love hormone, oxytocin, in both the dog and the human. – Brian Hare • When others kid me about being bald, I simply tell them that the way I figure it, the good Lord only gave men so many hormones, and if others want to waste theirs on growing hair, that’s up to them. – John Glenn • When physiologists revealed the existence and functions of hormones they not only gave increased opportunities for the activities of biochemists but in particular gave a new charter to biochemical thought, and with the discovery of vitamins that charter was extended. – Frederick Gowland Hopkins • When the subtle physical body is damaged you will begin to notice changes in your skin, you skin starts to get gnarly or dry. I’m not speaking of acne. Acne means you have a lot of kundalini, which stimulates hormones. – Frederick Lenz • When you’re sixteen and struggling to forge an identity out of a morass of hormones and daydreams, remarks like that cut a deep groove in the brain. I trace the ongoing, victorious-feeling semi-starvation of my twenties directly back to adolescence – as a way of showing those assholes that I could control my appetites… Which is so sad, in retrospect, because of course no one cared. – Kate Christensen • When you’re teenager, your hormones and your emotions are so tumultuous and so unpredictable. You’re just trying to understand yourself. – Penelope Mitchell • Whenever we feel stressed out, that’s a signal that our brain is pumping out stress hormones. If sustained over months and years, those hormones can ruin our health and make us a nervous wreck. – Daniel Goleman • Without compromise repression would be defeated. Just as some cancers feed on hormones, compromise becomes the hormone of oppression. – Harry Belafonte • Woman is determined not by her hormones or by mysterious instincts, but by the manner in which her body and her relation to the world are modified through the action of others than herself. – Simone de Beauvoir • Women are affected by lunar tides only once a month; men have raging hormones every day. – Maureen Dowd • Women are better at reading body language everywhere in the world. As a matter of fact, it’s associated with the female hormone estrogen. Women are better at figuring out of tone of voice, reading your face and posture and gesture. – Helen Fisher • Years ago I was diagnosed with a condition and my doctors prescribed human growth hormone and testosterone for its treatment. Under medical supervision I have continued to use both medications. – Sylvester Stallone • Yet friendship, I believe, is essential to intellectuals. It is probably the growth hormone the mind requires as it begins its activity of producing and exchanging ideas. You can date the evolving life of a mind, like the age of a tree, by the rings of friendship formed by the expanding central trunk. In the course of my history, not love or marriage so much as friendship has promoted growth. – Mary McCarthy • You know, the girls, they are more unstable emotionally than us. I’m sure everybody will say it’s true even the girls (laughter). No? No, you don’t think? I mean, it’s just about hormones and all this stuff. We don’t have all these bad things, so we are physically in a good shape every time, and you are not. That’s it. – Jo-Wilfried Tsonga • You know, these conservative women, somebody really needs to go repossess their ovaries. Really, truly, they have no right to them. They are fabulous, little organs and they have absolutely no right to be estrogen-bearing beings. Okay? Just cut ’em off, let ’em go through the hot flashes, let ’em just sit there and complain about hormone therapy, okay? Just take the ovaries and get it over with. Because they don’t deserve to have estrogen. They really don’t. It’s a privilege. – Randi Rhodes • You suffer when you give birth, it doesn’t matter, it’s nature. They tell you, oh, those hormone pills, they’re terrible, you’ll get cancer. But when it comes to Viagra for men, they don’t speak about cancer. – Jeanne Moreau • You’re seventeen. You’re supposed to be dealing with school and hormones and dim-witted parents. You’re supposed to be finding out who you are as a person.” “But I already know who I am,” Valkyrie said. “I’m a world-breaker. – Derek Landy • Your emotions are your inner guidance system. They alone will let you know whether you are living in an environment of biochemical health or in an environment of biochemical distress. Understanding how your thoughts and your emotions affect every single hormone and cell in your body, and knowing how to change them in a way that is health-enhancing, gives you access to the most powerful and empowering health-creating secret on earth. – Christiane Northrup

i’ll make a mix for u

We didn’t have a PC in or around the house until I think 2003, this coincided with me starting to make friends, who skated constantly and when I was starting to appreciate the music my dad would play, his eclectic (deep-rooted claptrap in all areas) mix would quickly form my own pointy ears into arrows. The early favourites that stuck around were OutKast, the Hives and of course Busted, whose Glasgow stop would afford me the confounding opportunity to see my first memorable nipple.

My introduction to music led me to act in the same way I do now, forcing people to listen to whatever new thing I find and sort-of like while staring at their unabating reaction with a clipboard. The local skatepark was kind of a daycare young delinquency deterrent that didn’t always work – when weather wouldn’t permit us to travel there the indoors would host some of the fascinating acts we’d grown from startled by to adoring in Toy Machine’s Jump Off a Building. It was an early glimpse at future Jackass and Glacier Mafia ragdoll Bam Margera, who’s definitely one of those people you look back upon to say “I used to think he was admirable and innovative, but he’s really just a yapping penis that landed in a tea cosy, lurging sideways like some kind of undead crab inside a car being illegally exported that’s falling into the sea.” That’s the view I currently channel, but at the time it was great to watch him punch his friend in the Scarface suit on the bed and drive through roadsigns. Also the tracklist was an eclectic marvel of the American Pie era, ranging from Gorguts to DJ Krush to Janis Joplin.

If you were to look at lists of skate video titles alongside a list of modern streetwear brand names and mission statements you would see an undeniably morose link. The corner of Melrose and North Fairfax is prime ground for prominent streetwear in the Western world and also the approximate origin of Illegal Civilisation. Now 20, Mikey Alfred started IC as “strictly just a skate crew, it was like me and a bunch of my friends from North Hollywood”, he says in an interview with Ride Channel. His creation transformed into involving more youth from around Southern California and extended to now renowned Nakel Smith, a close confidante of Odd Future whose leader Tyler, The Creator he introduced Mikey to. In 2013 he was given the opportunity to be a reserve videographer for tour vlogs, which led to travelling with the collective’s offset dark horse Frank Ocean, starting just two days after the film-makers high school graduation. Then last March Alfred filmed his first high quality release, a short film with Fader – his stab at Larry Clark/slasher/political territory.

I’m absolutely not saying the skate videos aren’t high quality in their own way. Illegal Civilisation 2 is an hour and fourteen minute compact look at the challenges of skaters even in serene Californian backdrops – including interaction with law enforcement and less than tolerant members of the public, possibly life changing injuries, confrontations with other skaters and seemingly inside jokes that are still hilarious on the surface. All of the youthful indulgence is captured with graininess and features an impossibly eclectic tracklist – Gary Wilson, Patrice Rushen, Lil Herb, The Sylvers, Suicidal Tendencies.

In another collaboration with Fader this time an Everything You Need To Know interview, he declares his love for gangster films and states that he’s seen the Sopranos “maybe 5 times, the entire 6 seasons through. I think I like it so much, because it’s sort of like skating – it’s like this group of friends – they all believe in the same thing. It’s all about respect, the clothes, the music, the aesthetic of it…”

The comparison is due, judging by some of the situations and acts performed do seem to overlap. One guy that’s present throughout a lot of the skate installments and the short film was Escobar Rich. He’s the pro skater, model and incarcerated Blood member that you probably wouldn’t expect someone like Mikey – dressed somehow accordingly as a retirement home golf instructor, placing emphasis on always wearing dress shoes and his propensity to keep his house intricately tidy, accentuating domesticity with jazz – to keep company with. But heavy contrast in all matters including walks of life is something that someone who is a skater and artist in technicolour circumstances thrives off.

He’s spent business time around Kanye and Lil Wayne, also contributed to Frank’s Blonde – contacts, incline and possibly inspiration come from his self professed idol Tyler, The Creator who himself has shown high levels of eclecticism in being a musical and increasingly media revelation. He achieved a ridiculuous amount of attention and scrutiny for his debut Bastard released on Christmas Day on his last year in high school. The lyrics’ explicit nature and the resurgent paradigm of angst religious in California every 20 years drew attention until around 2012, when Okonma’s focus started to aim more at visual output, claiming disillusionment with rapping, the perfect time for he and Alfred to cross paths. Throughout all the turmoil, spectators both in listener and journalist form would make assumptive claims about the young man’s mental health, often making reference to bipolar disorder.

To date his only non-lyrical statement about his, or lack thereof mental health was in an interview on his Golf Media app with Andrew “Noz” Nosnitsky about his late 2014 mental breakdown due to his dismay about his rising star and sometimes loneliness.

Bipolar disorder could probably be diagnosed partly using the sequence of music someone plays. Psychologists have debated since the dawn of ears how sounds have been able to induce such strong feelings in listeners, pre-drink playlists or on the way to work included. Of the cases that are diagnosed, more than half are before the age of 25 impacting last parts of education, entry to the heated pitch rabbithole of employment and character building social circumstances. I’ve had quiet after the storm moments of parental scorn partitioned with the reminiscences “I was the same” and “but now it’s more like” to shine spotlights on raised awareness finding itself into Twitter bios, more importantly becoming far less taboo in casual conversation. The alternate (former) dad quote shows that much of consumption is the same, and there’s hand me down styles and exact same bands that do nothing but fuel your mental car of driving past a dead animal then reversing over it.

With growing awareness, the other age-old link between creating and loss of mental wellbeing is being increasingly pulled open, psychologists from different parts of the world having extremely different opinions and quoting extremely different statistics, but many leaders in their field see consistent results after researching particularly bipolar disorder.

Renowned American clinical psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison has been making contributions to understanding of recurring depression but more heavily of bipolar disorder, which she had diagnosed at 17. She believes there is a clear link between backgrounds of creatives and the likelihood of difficulties in controlling their disposition. In an opinion article for CNN she writes; “Mood, temperament, behavioral and cognitive factors associated with bipolar illness can, in some people, make them more creative by increasing the fluency and the originality of their thinking, as well as by increasing risk-taking, ambition, energy, exuberance and a desire to create meaning from suffering and chaos.”

Also: “In the past five years alone (now seven) there have been four large studies – one that reported on 20,000 individuals and three others, each of which studied more than 700,000 individuals – that found that those with bipolar illness were disproportionately likely to be overrepresented in creative occupations; so too were their first degree relatives.” She states she found the same for those with relatives diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Even Skins indirectly acted as a pre-injunction of the psychological dangers of living like your favourite musician, detrimentally replacing or altering all of the fundamental human needs with variations of awareness, and awareness only hurts in the short-term. Tumblr fave Pete Wentz wants to open up conversation about mental health, he told HuffPost; “I think that the idea there’s a ‘one-size-fits-all’ is one of those myths. Everybody figures themselves out in a different way. And I think there’s no shame in talking about that kind of stuff. It’s not something you should feel scared talking about.”

Sweden is a country that has long placed importance on putting effort to owning a healthy mind, with one in three of the country’s living inhabitants having suffered from mental illness at some point.

Simon Kyaga is a Swedish psychiatrist and researcher whose mind is made up on the matter. In his report (Kyaga S, et al., Mental illness, suicide and creativity: 40-year prospective total population study, Journal of Psychiatric Research – 2012) he concludes; “This Swedish total population study suggests, except for an increase in bipolar disorder, are not more likely than control to suffer from psychiatric disorders in general. Further, the results indicate a familial association with overall creative professions for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anorexia nervosa and possibly autism.” A country like this knows all too well about suicide and how much less romantic that makes instability, and how offensive it is so people that carry these disorders as artists – it ignores greatly varied imagination, technical skill and bravery.

Music therapy ranges from between past-time to something you can get a degree in and win awards for. Of all the institutions using music where prescription drugs can’t quite reach or help at all, none are more influential than Nordoff-Robbins. American composer Paul Nordoff met British special needs educator Clive Robbins at Sunfield Children’s Home in 1954. Both had previously studied and involved themselves in Steiner’s thinking and practice of Anthropology – quickly after meeting they would be instructed by Dr Herbert Geuter to play some music to one of the worst affected patients and observe what happened, both were amazed at the new alternative method of treatment.

The pair would keep in touch after Nordoff left the home, and when he returned in 1959 they had enough field research in place to ingrain the practice they had thought up into the home’s treatment schedule. It required a team effort from a trained musician and likewise therapist to construct formulaic rhythms and sounds to relax the patients with the goal of improving their all-round awareness and discipline. Part of the new method’s possibility was how intricately the pair recorded the results.

This would contribute to the decision of Nordoff to leave the facility the next year, prompting Robbins to tour the world with him for 17 years to showcase the leaders in the therapy field right up until the former passed away in 1977. To this day Nordoff-Robbins is by far the biggest music therapy charity in the UK and debatably the world, even everyone’s most sought after scrotum-to-face surgery donee Andrew Lloyd-Webber set up a foundation with the charity on the grounds of the BRIT School in 2009, placing music therapy in close quarters with the highest ranks in the music industry and bolstering availability.

There is an increasingly different array of expectation of musicians. There’s more attention than ever given to the creators when they step out of the studio or off the stage and sometimes it’s slap bang into an interview. Having done a smidge of musician/industry component interviews myself you start to evaluate yourself personally. I’m a sickening guy really, I love stomach churning moments and sadly I’ve not had any in journalistic correspondence but I have my hopes. Part of the motivation is being a really big fan of someone in some way and trying to be the guy to extract some relatively groundbreaking material – any advice forum you could read say ‘don’t expose yourself as some incoherently blubbering farming fuck of a fan.’

Part of the self evaluation is trying to figure ways of bobbing and weaving past people you couldn’t possibly compose yourself in front of. If someone told me I’d be interviewing Zoe Kravitz I would start speaking in tongues immediately, and when the interview would take place and as she walked in all of my clothes would somehow fall off, I would cry petrol then throw a box of matches at her as hard as I could. Not yet. On a more integrative note, a hero I would’ve preferred to leave unburdened by my presence would’ve been Lou Reed.

There’s cases requiring considerations to make before interacting with an artist, other than them being a short guy from the Lower East Side of New York. Their short-term mental state could be affected by busy touring schedules with lack of downtime and taking them away from personal affairs, but may also provide the opportunity to have the meeting in the first place. Bad moods happen, so do long term mental illnesses.

Brian Wilson is a notoriously difficult interviewee for other reasons. He’s maybe the least confident person to achieve what he has, due largely to the relationship with his father, who would pay for great studios for him and the band, but would maintain overbearing dance mum duties as a form of control freakishness – the only accounts of him being in any way a pleasant domestic presence were with a musical backdrop. Brian’s first documented misplaced foot on the tightrope of stardom would be cutting down touring duties in 1964 following a panic attack, a direct result of the workload his new found success afforded him. After the legendary Pet Sounds, which Wilson almost exclusively composed, arranged and recorded he began noting auditory hallucinations, also after he had maintained a steady relationship with psychedelic drugs.

A daily struggle contending with the derogatory voices in his head would remain untethered until he started to receive treatment 15 years late, when he was finally diagnosed with bipolar schizoaffective disorder. With erratic musical releases for his whole career, the style and content of his public appearances in the form of interviews and private life cohorts are the only way to get a look at his progress in a linear fashion.

The largest clump of interviews take place in the mid-seventies, after his band-mates and team had supposedly helped him curb the right-to-the point pulls of coke and heroin – but much of that hope splattered on passers by, due to Wilson ending many of these interviews with trying to extract narcotics from any of the journalists and officials in the room. His seemingly rising desperation was made all the more ribcage-collapsingly clear by the fact the Beach Boys hadn’t reached the same peak of group of household hits from the previous decade by a long way. If the band were a decade long project then, the 1980s would be the expected time for him to enter into the realm of Real Husbands of Huntington Beach. His public appearances were shadowed by the soon-to-be disgraced Eugene Landy. He was living up to the retirement expectations of indulging in the material gold-ish years, embodied in his rumoured plastic surgery and paying his supposed friend, “master” Landy $35,000 a month. In 1989 he had his therapist license revoked and it was told to the public that he had weaseled his way into being Wilson’s co-writer, producer, manager, business partner and financial beneficiary of all business he was involved in. After Wilson’s 1979 divorce, he would spend 16 years drifting as an unmarried housebound. He married Melinda 9 years after initially meeting, at that time Landy had previously put an end to the casual encounter.

With recent releases taking on varied forms of quality and campaign method, the real miracle is that Wilson is still in a kind of position to make music again, which he resumed in 2002 – after 35 years in a self inflicted wilderness that many took full advantage of and made life threatening.

He is one of many age old examples of boxing (sometimes physically) artists in. You’d find it difficult to find that any prominent modern artist that hasn’t been constantly compared to some mid-to-late twentieth century counterpart. Achieving artistic self-realization then commercial success can also take on political responsibilities when they represent marginalised groups and become viewing fodder based on varying guilt. I feel very lucky to not know what’s next, and advances in understanding mental health like bipolar disorder and anxiety can give space to people to mix things up.

the Nine in the Afternoon single + video

This is mostly a recap of some events in December 2007 through February 2008... more info about the actual making of the music video is in this playlist.

The band had been playing Nine in the Afternoon at shows since August 5, 2007, so fans were familiar with the early version long before the Pretty. Odd. era started (it was on Heroes in November too). Around December 13th we learned that Shane Drake would be directing the music video for Nine in the Afternoon. We didn’t even know the name of the second album yet, but at least we knew the first single.

Then there was a casting call on myspace for 40 extras who could commit 10 hours at the video shoot in Los Angeles on December 20 & 21. The post said that the video would have different periods, looks, and costume/hair changes, and that the concept was “a series of bizarre yet fundamentally recognizable events with the band members.” There was lots of other misc info too (like the production company was Red Van Pictures and they were filming at a studio backlot). The main part I cared about was “with the band members” since that meant this wouldn’t be a repeat of the Build God video.

Some pictures from the set showed up in late December and more appeared in January 2008 (and even more came later too). These pics were also shared in late December. This was our first solid look at what visual direction the band might be going in for their second album. We were already expecting something like the Beatles meets The Wizard of Oz based on comments from the band & Pete Wentz, but the pictures were still really weird to see without any context haha. We also saw the “Pretty Odd” sashes before the album’s title was revealed, so a few people managed to guess that name ahead of time.

Here’s a general tag for some pictures from the video.

Pete Wentz talked about Cobra Starship in his blog post on January 8th and then made this side comment: “if youre ready to throw pies, get ready for the panic video because its the most insane thing i have ever seen.”

PATD wasn’t able to say anything too important about the video in interviews in January because the Pretty. Odd. era hadn’t started yet. Spencer said that the video for Nine in the Afternoon was the most interactive one the band had ever been in, there were more sets, and they had spent more time filming it than any of their previous videos. My favorite update came from MTV:

“If you're a fan of long underwear, busbies, epaulets, girls with fake moustaches and papier-mâiché fish, well, then the new Panic at the Disco video is probably gonna be like porn for you… The video also involves a whole lot of guys in crow costumes, alarm clocks, golden elephants and gratuitous amounts of golf-cart hijinks as well. So, really, there's something for everyone.”

MTV reported that the band had been dressed in “what could only be described as ‘Sgt. Pepper's-meets-ice-fishing’" attire and also called the whole look “Sgt. Pepper-meets-turn-of-the-century-beachgoer.” Brendon later called it “the Eskimo version of Sgt. Pepper's” too and said it was his favorite video yet because of all the costume changes. Ryan seemed like he was mildly traumatized by standing in front of a crowd of strangers while wearing thermal underwear lol. Jon also brought up the long underwear in different interviews, but he mostly talked about how everyone was freezing in the rain.

Other random stuff about the costumes: I heard that Anthony Franco designed the outfits that the guys are wearing in these pictures. The mustaches on the girls in the video made me think of Ryan’s comment from spring 2006. And FOE had a contest later that spring to give away a pair of the yellow rain boots that were signed by the band.

There were a lot of different behind-the-scenes videos of the shoot... some promos came out before the video was released and others showed up afterwards (most are in the playlist I mentioned at the top). Shane Valdez filmed a lot of the content. MTV also filmed several different interviews on the set and did many articles, news segments, and sneak peeks leading up to their actual “Nine Days of Panic” hype that started on February 2nd where they shared a different behind-the-scenes video everyday until the actual NITA video premiered on February 10th. Here’s an excerpt from how MTV introduced that promo:

“And while the guys half-promised to drop the cabaret-circus theme, they brought the fin-de-sicle, Coney Island-in-the-Gilded-Age-heydey act pretty hard on the video's set. Long undies, dancing crows, more than a few freaky animal masks, set dressing that feels like a mash-up between A Trip to the Moon and Dali's ‘The Persistence of Memory.’ Not to mention, costumes that look like hand-me-downs from The Monkees. And that's just part of the video.”

In early February PATD posted a preview of the video on myspace along with a bunch of info... basically, the video premiered on February 10th at 9pm EST on mtv.com. Then it was shown every hour on MTV2′s Unleashed on February 11th and showed up on FBR’s youtube on February 12th.

The band was at the Grammys on February 10th and later talked about how they left the event after walking the red carpet and just went back to their hotel. The next day they appeared in bath robes on TRL via webcam to promote the Nine in the Afternoon video. They also started filming the video for That Green Gentleman that day.

Blender reluctantly admitted that they liked the NITA video... they said that the “music sounds like the Beatles instead of the sonic equivalent of emo vomit” and "the video is utter nonsense — a world of pure imagination that's easy to watch and hard to loathe.”

A BIT MORE ABOUT THE SINGLE

The cover art for the Nine in the Afternoon single was revealed before the Pretty. Odd. album art.

PATD was at Abbey Road Studios doing the mixing & orchestration on their album in the third week of January. Amazon briefly posted a 30 second preview clip of NITA around January 20th that sounded different than what we knew... it was the final version with horns and everything, so that must’ve been finished really recently.

At first fans were split on whether to call the single NITA or 9ITA for short.

the Nine in the Afternoon single was released on the band’s myspace at 9pm on January 28th and then it was available on itunes the next day. FBR’s marketing team reallllly had a thing for 9pm at this point haha (We’re So Starving was posted on the band’s myspace at 9pm on January 1st and the majority of the other puzzle updates happened at 9pm EST too).

the Pretty. Odd. deluxe edition & webstore cd preorders were available at this point and came with a free download of the NITA single (you could also just buy the single for 99 cents).

you could get the NITA download for free if you bought one of the new PATD shirts at Hot Topic.

The song was playing on the radio in other countries by the end of January. We were told that the radio single would be out on February 18th in the US, but idk how any of the radio-related details unfolded since I wasn’t really into that.

The band had done some alternate versions of Pretty. Odd. songs while they were at Abbey Road, so those became popular extras on various cds & singles throughout 2008. Some were included on various NITA singles (examples here & here).

In 2022 Shane Drake talked about making this video and said that with the earlier music videos he did, “the most vocal members were always Spencer and Ryan. Brendon participated in those creative discussions, but Spencer and Ryan were the main voices. By the time we did the [NITA] video, Ryan’s voice had become the loudest in the band.”
