ION, Jilli are you a fan of Phantom of the Paradise?
Y'know, I've never actually seen/heard much of it. I suppose I should fix that.
EXCELLENT. Bounciest MCR song ever.
I KNOW! So much fun.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.
'Shells'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

Edgar Wright (dir. of Scott Pilgrim) loves it and comments about it here over the trailer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So true! It's my favourite by a wide margin, and I really like the rest of the album to begin with. (The one that's been creeping up on me lately is "Summertime".)

"Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back" is still my favorite, followed closely by either "Party Poison" or "DESTROYA".
ZOMG I SEE THEM LIVE IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! Please, please, let them play "Vampires Will Never Hurt You".

Because books.
"Party Poison" is just as frantic and wonderful as "Planetary (GO!)". I also love "Bulletproof Heart." AND THE WHOLE ALBUM. ::shivers happily::
Speaking of women in music, Kate Nash is trying to encourage more girls to rock out.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That's totally great.
In our (definitely not the trademarked School of Rock at all, really, honest) Rock&Roll Academy, it ended up being half girls, and they are by far the musically superior in the group. So it's an interesting dynamic.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jilli and Plei and Amy pretty much said what I was trying to say. I haven't been avoiding the discussion, just slam busy volunteering.
Looking forward to checking out the MCR video!

That's cool. Some friends of mine started a branch of the Girls Rock Camp last year: [link]

Need some more dark, elegant, gothy cabaret? Consider Brillig.
Tough to beat a song title like Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.
