'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Ha! I was going to make the Gabe joke, but Trudy beat me to it.
Pete, as I've said often in the past, is lyrically the male version of Tori Amos. FEAR HIM.
Other Important Things To Know About Bandom:
FOB are VERY SHORT. I'm not sure any of 'em are over 5'9".
Cobra Starship, most of 'em at least, are VERY TALL. Three dudes of about six and a half feet, one nearly six foot chick, and one short dude they keep locked in Gabe's basement behind the drum kit.
I am meara-ing in the music thread. I think that's a first. Figures it'd be bandom.

As opposed to all the Pretty Pretty Princesses, of course.
OMG I'd forgotten about Lale's primer. NSFW, BTW. One of the best things ever.
Rasputina crossed with, um, Gwen Stefani
Actually, there's only one song that sounds at all like Gwen Stefani, "Lights On." They also have pretty kickass lyrics and you will never find anyone who sings, "All I want is for you to come to ruin" more sweetly.
The Hush Sound's video for "Honey"
That is a pretty cool video. Yay, YouTube. I missed music videos.
See also Leathermouth, the side project of Frank Iero (MCR) and Jamia Nestor (wife of Frank) on their Skeleton Crew...thing.
Wait, I didn't know Jamia was involved! Huh. Is she *in* Leathermouth or just involved in SC? Also, did you really just pull all of that out of your brain? B/c dang.
Re: Kiss Off, I won't lie, I got the idea from Gerard yelling, "I hope you know, this will go down on your permanent record" in LOTMS. On "Prison," I think?
Do I need to kidnap you for a bandom weekend?
Yes, as long as you SWEAR no SGA will be involved. It apparently has a really long incubation period.
"The Internet Has Seen My Penis And Then I Made a Music Video About It."
...linky please? To the video. I've seen the penis. (thanks again, lale)
Guilty Pleasure has been stuck in my head all. day. long.
Guilty Pleasure is my ringtone, trufax. I almost changed it after my NOLA trip b/c I heard it 50 gazillion times, but the impulse passed and it's my happy place again.
Go to C! Go to C! [link]
Oh. My. There's, like, an entire trove of pre-production videos. I'll have to come back to those. I quite like the leg lifts, myself.
Also, how much do I love that Toro does THE THIGHS even when recording? [link] SO MUCH.
Pete, as I've said often in the past, is lyrically the male version of Tori Amos. FEAR HIM.
...
Really? I guess I didn't realize he did the lyrics for FOB.

He has a VERY PRETTY Peter.
Anyhow.
Pete, as I've said often in the past, is lyrically the male version of Tori Amos. FEAR HIM.
More and more, I am accepting this as truth. I really am. I'm tempted to do a lyrics quiz where I post snippets of both Tori and FOB lyrics, and see who can identify the author.
Really? I guess I didn't realize he did the lyrics for FOB.
Yeah. He does the lyrics, and Patrick turns them from random scraps of stream of consciousness into songs. It's like magic!
Also, how much to I love that Toro does THE THIGHS even when recording? [link] SO MUCH.
And how much do I love that Frankie is bouncing in his chair? LOTS.
Uh, music. Right. Love that we get a closeup of Toro's solo riff from "Prison" in that clip.
As opposed to all the Pretty Pretty Princesses, of course.
Gee Way is the prettiest princess of them all.
(1:26 has "tongue thing" that could rival Spike himself)
(its a vid with not MyChem music... but its a pretty good crash course in Princess Way)
Video - is that guy at the beginning supposed to be Mikey w/ Alicia?
And was that Seth Green at the grave site?
...okay, that was pretty great. But I still like the one with monkeys better.
