Just saw SING!
Holy amazballs.
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.

I am praying for a NOLA MCR date after the New Year.
In other bandom news, Patrick Stump continues to tease.

Anyone watching the MTV webcast tonight?
Spidra, that Song-Poem Anthology from a few years back (Do You Know The Difference Between Big Wood And Brush?) was pretty amazing.
I just read some of the Amazon reviews for that, Hayden. The guy who wrote "Jimmy Carter Says Yes" is in that documentary. So was the guy who wrote "Blind Man's Penis".
