How To Pack Like Paramore

Tegan and Sara's bassist Shaun Huberts wrote a book about how musicians pack their suitcases called How To Pack Like A Rock Star. It's going to be out shortly through his Kickstarter account with a possible eBook release on amazon. He mentioned a few bands and artists who contributed to the book like Tegan & Sara, Cold War Kids, Chad from NFG, Sara Bareilles and so on. He also said he has a few surprises instore when he said "..over 40 different Rock Stars in the book so I'm leaving out some of the big names so there will still be a few good surprises for you as you read it!". Whelp, one of those 'big names' is why i'm posting about this in this community.

Photographer Robyn Jamieson leaked out some of those 'big names' in a blog posting about the photoshoot she did with Sara Bareilles back in May last year. She said that Paramore along with Death Cab For Cutie and AFI have contributed to this book. I'm pretty sure she is connected to the project after using Google Images on those two pics of Sara in that posting and seeing they only showed up on her photography site and her profile on photographer portfolio site Dripbook.

Shaun's Kickstarter page for his book is over at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1344414934/how-to-pack-like-a-rock-star?ref=card

Robyn's blog posting that mentioned Paramore being in that book can be seen at http://robynjamieson.com/blog/archives/186

You're such a stalker...like how hard do you actually have to search for this shit?

To be honest, like 96% of the stuff I find is through Google news, blog and video search (on Bing, Vimeo and sometimes Flickr & Twitter too). Not really that hard to find. Those kind of searches take less than 4 to 6 overall minutes total in a average day (days during/after award shows/large events are a different matter). Having a good idea what you are looking for, being able to experiment with search engines, memorization of what you seen and being able to absorb lots of random things is a key factor. I don't use Google alerts (like I think you implied here before) because of the sheer number of stuff being repeated on fansites (in english, spanish and portuguese). After a while of having a few online habits over a course of a few months it becomes kinda 'reflex like' and takes up a very little amount of my time. That's not exclusive to Paramore stuff either. I usually end up submitting quite a few things to various gaming, anime and nerf blogs too haha

Just wanted to make that clear to you and anybody else wondering how i'm able to find alot of this stuff

He was writing that book during the Honda Civic Tour (I follow him on twitter) and Paramore, Tegan and Sara and New Found Glory were on that tour so I think they're on the book.
