because everyone needs to come home from work, have a shower, turn on the computer, login to tumblr and find those sexy men on their dashboard; because, be honest, everyone would like to marry one of them and occasionally fuck the others; because we freakin' adore this band, its songs and its way to do everything always right, and we want to spread our love around the world and start a sort of adoration. started as a picspamming tumblelog, this became a place for everything concerning the band, as quotes, songs, videoclips and everything you ever needed.
