Counting down to...
A few days to go before seeing FOB again!!!
The CD in my stereo and the album in my iPod are in constant repeat. I've been trying to piece their possible setlist in my head. I've seen what they did the past few weeks of shows and it looks like a democratic mix of all their albums. I would really love to hear some of their new stuff live though, just to see how they could pull it off.
While listening to IOH before, I found myself thinking, "Huh. They've really improved on their song layering." Now multiply that thought times 10, and that's what I felt when I listened to FAD. I still can't get myself to listen to the previously iTunes-released songs though. Nothing against them, but I've been listening to those since September and I really want a break from them. Just a thought: with all the importance attached to Pete turning 27, is the song a reference to that? Hmm...

I think I'm pretty late on this, but then I've never been known to jump on bandwagons before. I find myself liking My Chemical Romance. It's not even because of bandom and not because I'm a comic geek. I like that they're alternately silly and articulate (see mychemicalromance.com). I like that most of them have had their fair share of demons they've battled and have seemingly turned out OK. I like underdogs, and for all their success now, they seem just as scrappy as ever.
Also, they're not bad on the eyes either, hehe. The transformation of Mikey circa2005/Summer of Like (cute/interesting) to present day Mikey (hot) boggles the mind :P Maybe I have to spend some time with Jan and let her (willingly) convert me to MCR bandom. Any others willing to turn me?

And my bet for "Best Things to Read When You Don't Want to Study": GOOD fic recs!!!!
I swear, this stuff is eating my brain :P
