So Jilli, did you see MCR on SNL this weekend? They were all epic and agitated.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Jilli ... didn't you know The Black Parade video is on the official MCR site?
I think this album is going to be a big commerical success for them. The local commercial station has been playing the song, and for a country Victoria top-40 station to play them, seems to indicate they're going to hit big.

No. I'm going to search on YouTube for the performance when I have some slack time tomorrow.

Yeppers, I did. But I'm perfectly willing to watch it whenever someone posts a link to it.

The reviews have been really good. So, y'know, it's not just my obsessed squee-ing saying it's a good album! Other people think so too!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I saw the video several times on Dutch TV, alongside videos for other pop hits by the likes of Scissor Sisters, James Morrison, etc.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've never listened to MCR before, but I iTuned it last night and listened to it on the train this morning. My morning commute was really brightened by cheerful music about death and what-not. (No, really.)
What do their other albums sound like?

That's kind of their sound. It's at its best on this album, I think, but if you liked this one, check out their other stuff.

Crap. I'm gonna need an 80 Gig iPod pretty soon. And my Mac Mini (where all my music resides) is running out of space too.

What do their other albums sound like?
The independent radio station I listened to when I lived in VT used to play stuff from their last album all the time and it never really grabbed me. I don't know why. But I really like this one, so I may have to go back and re-listen.
I've had "Welcome to the Black Parade" in my head for days now. In a good way.

What do their other albums sound like?
Both of their previous albums are a little punkier sounding, a little rougher. The songs are still very catchy, and with a fun sense of drama to the lyrics, but nowhere near as cohesive as The Black Parade.

I think I got this link from Slate, not anyone here. Anyway, here's a fascinating article on the iPod shuffle mode.
