There are, perhaps, two people who will be amused by this, but let me tell you, I'm practically pissing myself.

So MCR debuted a new website, very...web-2.0-for-non-tech-geeks, which means it's pretty much web 1.3.2 for everyone else - and it's got blogs and twitters and shit (and Gerard being a freaky poster, and Frank basically fanboying Gerard SO HARD, but that's not relevant). Because I hate figuring out how to use RSS (seriously, I have to go over this every. goddamn. time. because I cannot retain the memory) I was manually checking the page and noticed a subline below the logo that changes when you go to another page.

For ex: "LOVES DOGS." "HATES BLOGS." "WE DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER." "HAS WAY MORE MYSPACE FRIENDS THAN YOU. LIKE THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING." "AMERICAN ROCK AND ROLL BAND." "HAVE BEEN WATCHING WAY TOO MUCH REALITY T.V."

You get the idea. I'm not sure - *insert code geek* - that they're not actually somehow hard-coded into the page; I keep pulling the same ones on the same pages even though it's technically a div class as the source code shows (I don't know why more people don't view-source, honestly.)

They need to put more things into the div class. They need to make this their new Tweak, and they need to do it NOW, because I heart rotating quotes, and I heart Tweak. This entertains me, though it will entertain me more when there are more quotes in rotation.

I return!

Concerts were fantastic, and I totally advise everyone to, if you get a chance, go to a concert on the singer's birthday. Wednesday's show was even better than Newark, for serious.

All in all, I had such a fantastic time on my trip that I don't really feel like recounting it. Some of that has to do with my problems with photography - I'm not one to take lots of pictures, something reinforced by Prineville on this trip - but some of it has to do with breaking something down equalling killing it. Let's just say that the trip was fantastic all around, and life is good.

Also, I now have a Mikey Fuckin Way tshirt and a demented cheerleader skirt that I think is too short.

Oh, and: RADIOHEAD. I am going to MOTHERFUCKING RADIOHEAD IN AUGUST, because [livejournal.com profile] graeae is AWESOME, and also because by then I might have forgotten how fucking bad my legs hurt and might jump up and down a lot.

(Seriously, McMenamin's Crystal Ballroom? Worst. Floor. Ever.)


ETA: AHAHAHAHAHA I FUCKING WIN FOREVER AND SO HARD. [livejournal.com profile] sparkfrost, you MUST tell me what the fuck happened to bandomsecrets!

AHAHAHA oh idiots, how I love your stupid fucking faces. With this brick. Let me love you long time with this brick that I am holding right now!

(Note: This is in reply to the person who thinks, for some insane reason, that ninety five kids tried to commit suicide at an MCR show in England and yet that...somehow...didn't cause an international freak out, starting with MCR and moving right on to, probably, diplomatic incident +/- Gerard and Lyn-Z divorcing since they're all supposedly pissed-off MSI fans. And it totally didn't hit Google's news page, either, because it was a STEALTH MASS SUICIDE AT A CONCERT. No, I don't know either, except that someone out there needs to set the gullibility back down to a sane level, and whoever started the thread (over on Buzznet, which I sort of think is the root of all evil, once MySpace goes down) needs to get a real life, but on the other hand they probably have proved their point.)

(Note the second: If you're not into MCR and their personal lives, the preceding note makes NO SENSE, but don't worry about that. It makes sense to me, and I am laughing my ass off and that is, always, the important point.)

But the thought of smacking someone in the face with a brick is particularly appealing because I feel like death. Not even death warmed over, just death microwaved for about ten seconds and pulled out of the microwave to gently recollapse like a souffle. Made of botulism.

It's all [livejournal.com profile] graeae's fault, too, because CLEARLY she gave me HER COLD...over the phone. I felt fine when I called, I did not feel fine when I got off the phone! It is her fault!

So! I am miserable and wish to share, and would really really really really prefer to be home in bed, but HAHA ON ME, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. Because I am, still, insanely, horrifically, unbelievably busy, and the next person who asks me if Christmas is our "slow season" will also get hit with my brick.

Anyway, I had other things to say, but I have forgotten them in the face of my explosive laughter over the thought of mass concert suicide, and now I feel like I'm totally starting the day off right, because everyone who feels like death needs a good laugh.

And what the fuck is up with tags auto-filling? I AM AFRAID NOW. Livejournal: It mainly consists of things I turn off.

Ray gun: out; Skeleton key: in

By dint of scanning Neverwhere at an absolutely horrific rate, I now have the character concept for my Halloween costume. This is because if I simply say "Steampunk explorer!" people will say "Ah." And then they'll back away slowly. I will still get funny looks saying "Door, from Neverwhere," but FUCK THE FUNNY LOOKS, PEOPLE, I DON'T CARE.

So, rather than a ray gun, I need a skeleton key. This is a VERY GOOD THING, given that I am leaving tonight (go me, my calendrical skills ROCK) and won't be back until Friday at ass oclock. But someone did do me the favour of pointing out that if I'm still on Pacific time tomorrow, I'll be in even better shape for the show.

IF SOMEONE WILL TELL ME WHEN IT IS. *glares menacingly at email* But hey, you know what? If you don't want me to have your phone number, you totally shouldn't put it in your sig.

Also, there are lots of disadvantages to buying a plane ticket two days before you fly, the main one being "price", but then again, I haven't had time to ramp up into how the Jersey Devil, riding on the back of a wolf with dynamite in its mouth, and holding handfuls of angry bees, is goign to kill me in the airport.

MCR Music spam

EDIT 8/11/08: This post is easily found by searching Google for MCR. For reference: I will no longer upload all the albums. If it is a released album, I will not upload those. I will only upload the files I have put together by looking for unreleased material; I will not reupload I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, Life On The Murder Scene, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, The Black Parade, and The Black Parade Is Dead. Do not ask me for them. I have no reason to give music easily acquired to people who have found me through Google.

However, I will give you the most recent version of the files as I have them. I am constantly on the lookout for new music by MCR, and when I find it, I add it to the list of things I can give you.

I will also not reupload for you if you meet the following criteria:
- If you do not have an LJ.
- If your LJ is ONE DAY OLD, seriously, people.
- If you request all the albums. If you're into MCR, you should have at least a couple of the albums, for god's sake.
- If anything about your request makes me think that you are looking for music just to have it - ie, you're not actually particularly interested in this band.

I'm not doing this because I have a particular opinion on file sharing, royalties, and the rest of the free music kerfuffle, I'm doing it because I care about this band a lot, and I have no interest in depriving them of the proceeds from the sales of their albums.

In case that was TL; DR for you (in which case, I'm not going to give you the music anyway) I will not give you the released albums. Don't ask.


For [livejournal.com profile] sparkfrost, and for anyone else who wants them, a massive MCR music spam. Like, seriously massive. SERIOUSLY massive.

Warnings: The Covers and Other Oddities file is HUGE. There's an hour and a half long file of The Black Parade show in London that's 76MB in size; everything else in that folder is under eight, individually. I use, as always, sendspace. MOST files are .mp3; some are .m4a and at least one is .m4p. The files are compressed with Stuffit, or .sitx, which SHOULD be openable by any (reasonable) expander. The files should be valid for a week; if not, let me know.

Much grazie and hearts to [livejournal.com profile] graeae and [livejournal.com profile] spamcola for their parts in collecting all this.

I do not have the Warped Tour Bootleg discWarped Tour Bootleg disc has been acquired, and I didn't upload the Like Phantoms, Forever EP as a separate album because it's one non-record track (Jack the Ripper) which is in the Covers and Other Oddities folder, and two tracks that turned up on Bullets. There are a few odd tracks that I still don't have, so this is not comprehensive, but it's damn close. I didn't upload any videos, since they're readily available on YouTube, but I do have three, all in .m4v format, for Vampires Will Never Hurt You, Honey, This Mirror's Not Big Enough For The Both Of Us, and Famous Last Words.
