I added a new layout to our gallery. It was made exclusive for those of us hosted on fan-sites.org. Check it out. It’s a really great layout.
Over at youtube someone shared a unreleased track from Unbreakable called ‘Sick As My Secrets’. You can either search for it on youtube or you can get it over the at community. I managed to capture it. We also have the lyrics thanks to Gina at LD. Check it out. It’s a really great track.

The boys did some radio interviews with 101.3 KDWB in ST. Paul on August 23 and B96 Chicago on August 25. You can download them at the community. Thanks to Sabrinia at LD for the B96 Chicago interview. A photo of the boys with a DJ from B96 has been added the gallery as well.
Backstreet was back Saturday night at the Minnesota State Fair, and, what do you know, they were all right.
It’s getting close to a decade since the aging teen-pop act still known as the Backstreet Boys hit the peak of their fame, but they’ve somehow figured out how to keep a spark of the old days going, even though these Boys are mostly in their 30s these days.
It probably helps matters that they’re now down one Boy — Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006 — because Saturday’s show felt leaner, looser and much more fun than the last time the Twin Cities saw them, at the Target Center in summer 2005. Back then, the Backstreet Boys were in the midst of a mostly unsuccessful campaign to act all grown-up and transition into the light-rock radio realm.
Backstreet’s back on tour with a new album and one less band member but the boys don’t seem to know the meaning of being lonely, and according to Nick Carter, are on track to once again becoming larger than life.
The foursome will hit Sault Ste. Marie with their smooth harmonies and upbeat stage show Wednesday to promote their latest album, Unbreakable. Tagging along are little sister band, Girlicious.
It is the Backstreet Boys first offering – and tour – without Kevin Richardson, who left the group on amicable terms in June 2006 to pursue other interests.
“We closed that gap and tightened our moves up and created a show that is the building blocks to the next phase of Backstreet Boys,” said Carter, from a concert stop in Bloomington, Ill. Friday.
More photos from the boys concert in Vienna, VA are now added at the gallery.

They may be older, wiser and short one original member, but the Backstreet Boys are still a hot ticket. Reserved seats for their concert at Ravinia are sold out, and the remaining lawn tickets are going fast.
Just don’t call this a “reunion” tour.
“There are a lot of misconceptions out there,” says founding member Nick Carter, laughing. “People think we broke up or are returning after some time off.”
In fact, other than a two-year hiatus that ended in 2004, the band has continued to record and tour steadily. After 13 years with the group, Kevin Richardson quit in 2006 to pursue other interests. He’s composing the soundtrack for an animated movie, “The Spirit Bear.”

I noticed in a few emails that some of you are a bit confused about some stuff. The topbar at the top of all our pages and sections that says buzznet has nothing to do with this site. It’s just advertisers that my host is affiliated with. Clicking on the links on there will not take you to anything on my site. It will take you to the buzznet website. To view our gallery, community, media vault and other pages we have you should be clicking on our navagation in the image header of Nick.
Recently I started a thread at the community allowing the members there to apply to be a moderator. I explained that you can apply by sending me a pm (private message) at the community your mod application not email me. Also it would help if you are a active member and by active I mean by posting often. I don’t expect you to be online all day but if you can post a few times a week. Not just browsing the community. It helps us (the other mods and I) see who can be really helpful at the community. I have recieved a few emails in response to that and I don’t know who some of you are. Sorry. If you would like to become a mod there is still time to apply. You have until late tonight to apply. We are looking for one person.
Also if you have any problems like accessing the gallery, community etc please don’t email me so many times. I don’t always have time to check email everyday. So one message will be fine. I’m not ignoring anyone. I will get to your message when I can.
