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.
And dammit, the upcoming FOB album better be STELLAR, because I need something to get me through this.
The Bouncing Souls are keeping me intact. They're never ever allowed to break up.
Noooes.
The theories coming out of fandom are bonkers. Tho' I admit that my heart leapt at the theory that this is the boys walking away from the record label and the name, and that they're going to reform under a different name. I don't think it's TRUE, but it's a lovely theory.
I've been afraid to look. What bizzareness have they come up with besides "MIKEYWAYCHEATED!"
Oh yeah, the "MIKEYWAYCHEATED and then fans sent hate and bile and THAT'S WHY THEY BROKE UP" theory is really popular on Tumblr right now.
I should not keep looking at the MCR tag.
Well, it IS the first time in the history of popular music a musician has dogged his wife. Surely that would be the death of any band.
I hate how entitled some of the posts are, all about how the fans deserve more than a one paragraph explanation, why is there no farewell tour and blah blah.
I know that any artist is always dependent on fans for success, but no one "deserves" anything other than what the band wants to create and/or share.
Damn. I thought they'd make it through the new album at least. Or I'd hoped.

To be fair, I think it might be. They seem really happy and we know how I feel about the lyricist/singer combo.

We're entitled to a copy of their work after we pay for it. That's it. They choose whether to create the work, we choose whether to buy it. If both work out, success. If not, there wasn't a contract, we just liked each other for a while.
