Wonderful Person of the Week: Jesse Lacey

Last week we stated in episode 27 that Jesse Lacey was our Wonderful Person of the Week. So in reality, this should be called the Wonderful Person of LAST Week, but whatever.

Jesse Lacey is the frontman of the magnificent band Brand New. Being a favorite band from everyone here at Based on Nothing (except Mal, I think. She’s the worst), Lacey was an easy person to pick. During New Year’s Eve, Jacob had the pleasure to see Brand New play three sets all that night, leading into 2012. Brand New played their classic song “Soco Amaretto Lime” into the new year, and Jacob probably started crying because then he realized, despite what the lyrics to the song say, he’s not going to be 18 forever…because he’s already 19.

Despite this awesome idea for a New Year’s Eve show, Brand New and Jesse Lacey mainly still get a bad reputation for not being on Twitter like bands like The Maine and constantly giving updates on what’s happening with band. I personally don’t agree with this because who cares? They’ll give us music when they can, but a lot of people don’t agree with me :(
So let this be an Ode to the Lace and we here by recognize him as a wonderful person.
