God, I hate My Chemical Romance. I have hated them for as long as they've been around. They're so whiny and terrible. And their fanbase is the WORST.

But then, WHAT'S THIS? Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
THIS SONG IS PURE ROCK AND ROLL! IT'S SO AWESOME!
BUT IT'S BY MCR! WHAT THE HELL!? WHY DO I LOVE THIS SO MUCH?

Oh wait I know why. Because they have totally turned themselves around as a band. Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys is the most unexpected turnaround by any band…

Before I start this, I'm going to make a quick sidenote and say that if you haven't yet heard it, you should definitely listen to the album High Violet by The National. Anyway…

1. What's your favorite song by 14?
David Bowie
Heroes is one of my favorite songs ever!

2. How did you get into 20?
Ben Folds
Oh jeez, I don't really remember… Pretty sure I just picked up Rockin The Suburbs on a whim at a second-hand CD store, and fell in love from there.

3. Who is your favorite member in 8?
The Hives
Pelle Almqvist,…

It has been almost a year since my last journal entry here.
So let's see…

-Pinkerton is my favorite Weezer album. Sue me.
-I love The Fratellis. So much.
-My most recent love is The Raconteurs. They're like the White Stripes but… dare I say, better? No. I can't say that quite yet. Plus, comparing two bands that are fronted by Jack White is criminal. Jack White is a god.
-I have been getting into 80s-90s rap more and more. I love Public Enemy. De La Soul is pretty awesome. NWA is far from my favorite, but I like 'em.…

The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Holy crap.
What can I say? Where can I start?

Psychocandy is a 40-minute pure noisefest. The almsot poppy lead melodies contrast directly with the static, the noises, the feedback, and the distorted guitars. But it's not just noise. It's organized noise. Every bit of static and every resounding reverb effect combines to create a masterpiece of music in every single track. THERE IS NOT ONE TERRIBLE SONG ON THIS ALBUM. The static-infested razor-blade guitar riffs hook into your mind and don't let go.

This album is mind-numbingly brilliant in every way, from the…

I've heard 6 songs from these peeps and I'm in love. There's the heavy guitar coupled with the soothing vocals, there's the pure new wave-iness, there's the (very) intriguing lyrics, and there's the slight techno influences. All of these features make me go crazy for this band.
It's a two-person band! Sharon Shy is on vocals and guitar, while "Toppy" plays the drums. I'm not quite sure of their relation to each other, besides the fact that they sound amazing together.
These two are the next White Stripes, I swear.

AMAZING. I love nearly every song on this album. 19 tracks!

Into the White is a wonderful song and I'm surprised it ended up a B-side.
