That's a lot of abbreviations.<br /><br />So:<br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><font size="5">"Everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes."</font><br /><font size="3">-Andy Warhol</font><br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/jar01.jpg"><br />Meet <b>Jared Padalecki</b>, lead guitarist and lyricist for the band <i>The Goblins.</i> A band with his best friend is all he's ever wanted, but since it's conception, Jared's had to deal with a lot more than he ever assumed he'd have to. And usually, it's...<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/jen01.jpg"><br />...Jensen he's having to deal with. <b>Jensen Ackles:</b> part photographer, part brother to one of Jared's best friends, but mostly <i>entirely off limits</i> because he's Jared's best friend's current fuck. Seasoned veteran to having photo spreads in magazines like NYLON and Vice, Jensen considers himself a "glorified groupie" and resides in Vancouver with his sister...<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/em01.jpg"><br /><b>Emily "Roach" Ackles</b>, who was introduced to the band through Jensen, and joined on keyboards and as secondary vocals after the lead singer proposed the idea. Before the band, she was a dancer and choreographer. Currently, she is very bendy. Not a lot unlike...<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/gale01.jpg"><br /><b>Gale Harold</b>: Jared's best friend, Jensen's fuck, and Emily's current employer. He reigns as lead vox of The Goblins, though he finds himself playing secondary guitar most nights. Jared is the one who puts the words in his mouth, and sometimes, it makes them both uncomfortable. <br /><br />And hey, maybe it's such an uncomfortable situation because, despite trying to maintain the veil of a healthy relationship between himself and Jensen, Gale is also fucking...<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/ran01.jpg"><br />Smart-ass, too young, merch boy <b>Randy Harrison.</b> Oh, and it gets better. What Gale doesn't know is, he's not the only one being unfaithful in the relationship with Jensen.<br /><br />But, before that... the minor characters.<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/jac01.jpg"><br /><b>Jacob Bean</b>, bass player. He's also currently dating Emily for no reason other than sheer convenience.<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/jack01.jpg"><br />And, the only constant force in the band, <b>Jack Elliot</b>, drummer. He smokes triple-packs a day, and talks with his hands a lot.<br /><br />Together, these people make up <b>The Goblins</b> and, of course, their tight-knit entourage.<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/band01.jpg"><br />From left to right: Emily, Jacob, Gale, Jensen, and Jack.<br /><br />Together, they have so far released one self-titled demo album, which was primarily written by Jared and Jacob.<br /><br /><ul><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/demo.jpg"><br /><br /><b>TRACKLISTING: GOBLINS 7-TRACK DEMO</b><br />1.

Which is maybe why they're all fucking each other -- in secret, of course.<br /><br />First, there's Gale and Jensen, the photographer and the almost camera-shy lead singer of a full-fledging "upcoming" indie band.<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/jg01.jpg"><br />They met during a photo shoot for NYLON magazine. Jensen was the photographer hired to shoot a "Chicago scene front men" feature, and, you guessed it, Gale was one of the upcoming hardcore Chicago front men. They've been off and on (mostly on) for the last year and a bit. And, in that time they've both managed to change each other's lives, for better or worse. See, Jensen introduced Gale to Emily, and rounded out the band's sound. Gale, on the other hand, introduced Jensen to Jared, who he then called his best friend. Jensen and Jared, however...<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/j201.jpg"><br />...had a different idea of what "best friends" really meant. Because, too soon after meeting, they get tangled in a half-assed web of lies and unrequited fucking. Jared takes to writing lyrics twenty hours out of the day, and Jensen decides that his sister really doesn't know anything about him at all. <br /><br />They skirt around each other for a long time, and maybe they're both just too scared to let go -- for Jared it's a best friend, and for Jensen it's the most honest fuck he's had in a while. Or, so he thinks.<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/gr01.jpg"><br />Because in reality, Gale has been fucking the merch boy all along, (mostly) behind Jensen's back.<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/je01.jpg"><br />And it doesn't help that Emily has struck up a pseudo friendship with Jared, whom she actually suspects Jensen's fucking, even if she never directly brings it up. It's just too easy to fall into, she decides, and usually just watches from the side-lines as her band falls apart.<br /><br /><img src="http://wolfdisease.org/images/goblins/live.jpg"><br />So what happens when you throw all this on the road, sign it to a record label contract, and let everyone duke it out for a couple of rounds? Well my friends, you get --<br /><br /><font size="7">entourage</font><br />a new verse that goes online later this month.
