06.28.05 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOLLY!. Upcoming Site Stuff.
Although Holly is away at government school for a few weeks, I want to wish her a happy 17th birthday! Holly is the best webmaster EVER and I hope she has an awesome birthday! :) Over the course of the next three weeks, I will be doing a bunch of stuff with the site. This will include some new MP3s, ring tone codes, more factoids, a quotes page, some more site items, a new photo gallery, and much, much more! We will be getting back on track with the Fan of the Week and Viewer Advisory... This means I will post a new FOTW tomorrow (so send in those last-minute applications!) and a new VA question on Friday (also send in your answers for the WMUWSE video VA!) We didn't make to much with the Google ads last week ($10) but that's better than nothing! Please click those ads! We need money to buy things/ pay for the site. Thank you to all those who have! Alrighty that's it for today! Again - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOLLY! Make sure you all leave her some birthday wishes in the comments! Bye!
06.27.05 - Poll/Site Application. Song Meanings.
Well, I'm workin' all alone this week, so please bare with me! I fixed the poll on layout 1 (because it was not working) so if you tried to vote on layout 1, do it again - it should work now! Don't forget to send those applications for a job at the site in! Check out the form here! I also finally finished making the Song Meanings page, check it out! There is not much Green Day news, but it seems like the Live 8 director said that the bands playing the Berlin show (yes, that includes Green Day) might have to pay for the show themselves, because the lack of interest and support from banks to fund the show. That's alittle weird and in my opinion, a little unfair... Well thats all the news I have for you all today! I have a lot of stuff planned for the next 3 weeks, so be ready for new stuff! Oh yeah! Please try to buy some stuff at our store! - we would really appreciate it! OK- Bye! :)
06.25.05 - Kerrang. Peta. Store. Holly. 1,039 SC Application.
Green Day is
on the cover of Kerrang!
magazine (again!). There is a review about Milton Keynes in there.
Vote for Mike
Dirnt as Peta's sexiest male vegetarian for 2005 here!
We've added a store to the site!
The earnings will help us raise money for a bigger and better 1039SC. Please
help us out and buy some stuff if you can... :) Work is still in
progress but be sure to
check it out anyway!
I just wanted
to let everyone know I'm going away for three weeks starting tomorrow (Sunday).
I'll be back July 17th. My co-web Kevin will be in charge!
We thought
it'd be a good idea to add another person to help out so we've set up an
application! If you're interested in being a
part of 1,039 SC go here, fill it out, and
email it here.
My 17th birthday is on Tuesday (June 28th)! Just thought you should know. ;)
06.22.05 - DVD. Driven. Site ads.
More info on the Milton Keynes DVD is available here from MTV. VH1 will be airing Driven: Green Day on June 29th. More info here. Also, we've put ads on the site because we really need money to pay for certain services. So we ask you to please simply click on the ads, that is all you have to do. We receive money when people click. Kevin and I do not profit from the site, all of the money we receive will go to getting rid of pop ups and to pay for the services we use. Thank you so much!
06.20.05 - Milton Keynes DVD.
Green Day played for two sell-out crowds at the Milton Keynes
Bowl on Saturday (18th) and Sunday (19th). These two shows were being recorded
for the upcoming DVD, Green Day Live in Milton Keynes! They guys did
awesome and I'm sure the DVD is going to be one hell of a DVD. I am happy that
Green Day are finally going to release an official tour DVD. Green zzDay kept the
set to the familiar selection of songs they have been playing this past year. As
expected, during Operation Ivy's 'Knowledge', they brought three punters up on
stage to play their instruments and sent the substitute bass player crowd
surfing back into the crowd. Below is the set list they played :
'American Idiot'
'Jesus Of Suburbia'
'Holiday'
'Are We The Waiting'
'St Jimmy'
'Longview '
'Brain Stew'
'Jaded'
'Knowledge'
'Basket Case'
'She'
'King For A Day’
'Shout'
'Wake Me Up When September Ends'
'Minority'
'Maria'
'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams'
'We Are The Champions'
'Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)'
06.19.05 - BBC Punk Songs. Videos. Reminders.
Green Day is on BBC's list of Top 30 Most Punk Songs with Basket Case at #1, American Idiot at #8, and Longview at #10
. I've added a bunch of new videos an reorganized the page. Don't forget about sending in your Fan of the Week and Viewer Advisory submissions. I'm working on a site store so if you have any suggestions, leave a comment. The message board needs your attention too.06.16.05 - New Option. Adrienne Pregnant?. JOS Video
Alright - The opinions of the new layout were completely split! So, we decided it would be best for you guys to be able to chose which layout you would wish to view the site as. When you visit the site, you will n
ow get an option of either Layout 1 or 2... Chose which one you wish to visit, and here you are! OK - I hope you guys like that... Anyway, Green Day news! Green Day are on the cover of Kerrang! and NME which is pretty cool :) Also, there are rumors that Adrienne (that is Billie's wife, of course!) is pregnant... We do not know if this is true and it could possibly JUST be a rumor! If there is more info, we will let you know. Finally, although this is old, GDA pointed out that the IFC will be playing the full "Jesus of Suburbia" video on July 9th at 11:30PM (time zone is unavailable!) Check out all the info over here! Holly and I will try to get the video up for download when it is released... Tomorrow I will be reposting the tag board... I'm asking you all to be mature with it! OK - That's all for today! Bye!06.13.05 - Layout!
So here is the new layout. Hope you like it. Let us know what you think by leaving some comments. It's not really that much different than before but it's still a little rough around the edges. We'll continue fixing it up and making this website better! If you find any problems or flaws, email us here. Thank you, we'll get some real news up soon!
Updated! (By Kevin) - Hey everyone! We realized that there was some mixed
reactions about the layout so we changed the colors... I hope you guys like it
and please, feel free to post your comments! Thank you :)
06.08.05 - New Layout Soon. Dead Zone Until Then.
Sorry about the lack of updates! Holly and I are working on a brand new layout for the site... It should look awesome and is coming out really cool so far! I will post a preview over the weekend and the layout should be up (hopefully) on Monday! During this time period, we will not be doing much with the rest of the site... We are very sorry about this, but the new layout will be worth it... There will be no new fan of the week this week, but we will have two next week! Again, sorry but you will all enjoy it in the end! Bye and thanks for your participation and support! (Maybe I will put the tagboard back because of the lack!)

congratulate our 3RD FAN OF THE WEEK - Elise! There were so many great
applications - keep sending them in! Don't forget to answer the Viewer Advisory,

two (or more) new pages : Song Meanings and Factoids... Keep coming back to
1039SC, Holly and I really appreciate all of your support! Bye!
UPDATED: The tag board has been taken down. People were filling up the
tag board with useless stuff like "jkdjd"! This is not what a tag board it for,
people! I am not upset, but the tag board won't be coming back any time soon -
believe me! :-\

05.28.05 - New MP3's. Tagboard Info.!
I got a few new live covers and posted them in the MP3's section! The news ones are "99 Red Balloons," "Teenage Lobotamy/Blitzkreig Bop," "German Song for David," "Mohogamy," and "My Way!" They are all pretty cool so go check them out... Holly and I also decided that it would be best to move the poll back to the homepage and put the tag board on a different page. We came to this decission because everyone was only using the tag board to express how hot Billie is. The tag board link is now under fan in the navigational bar. Ok - that's all - Bye!
