Nothing you can say can stop me going home

I just reached 30,000 plays on my last.fm. O.O

Whee! *throws confetti*

(And that's just since August 2006, which is when I get this laptop. It blows my mind when I realize how much of my life I spend listening to music. That's approximately 70 days straight of music! Over two months out of 18! Geez.)

My thirty thousandth song was Innocent and Sweet by The Cab. I meant to make it my favorite MCR song, but my attention wandered and I didn't catch it in time, whoops. Instead Heaven Help Us was my 30,001st song! :)

In the music vein, I've downloaded so so much new music over the past weeks or so, and it's kind of overwhelming! In order to really get into something and make an opinion on it, I have to listen to it REPEATEDLY, because I never *just* sit and listen to music, I'm always always doing something else, so it takes a lot of repeats for anything to really sink in. I'm afraid I won't be able to give everything it's due consideration.

For curiosity's sake, the new music I've downloaded/received includes:

Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder (LOVE this, so far)
The Frames - The Cost
Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre and Is A Boy/Was A Boy (Courtesy of my brother, who totally has a crush on Max Bemis. Enjoyable, though probably not going to become a favorite.)
Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light (Again, enjoyable, but not very different from their other stuff. I do like their sound though.)
The Once soundtrack
Tom McRae - Tom McRae (Ugh, I love him SOMUCH. I'm so glad I got to see him live.)
Thursday - Full Collapse
The Cab - Glitz and Glamour

See? I'm so overwhelmed! *flails a little* I just keep coming back to MCR. *shameface* The only band that has managed to insinuate itself significantly in my listening patterns is The Used, and even then I only listen to them on shuffle in a playlist with all of MCR's stuff. MAYBE I'M OBSESSED? WHO KNOWS.

(I enjoy this mood icon. *stares*)

If you like Thursday, I will gladly hook you up with their entire discography and a bunch of demos, acoustic songs, and other random Thursday goodness.

I love Thursday like I love air.

Heee. I'm definitely enjoying the album thus far, but I don't think I want any more - yet. Gonna give this one some time to grow on me. Also, autobearography has offered the same thing, so maybe I'll split it between the two of you :)

How many albums have they made, and when? Which is your favorite? autobearography also sent me random other songs and I really really like Jet Black New Year off Five Stories Falling. (And no, not ONLY because Gee hollers in the background :D) I'm just curious how this all falls on a timeline.

I've already got everything except Kill The House Lights uploaded here, so feel free to grab from there any time.

Five albums and the Five Stories Falling EP, which they don't count because it's four live songs and Jet Black New Year, which is the only new song on it. I kinda remember them telling kids to just go download Jet Black New Year.

Waiting was in 2000, Full Collapse in 2001, War All The Time in 2003, A City By The Light Divided in 2006 and Kill The House Lights in 2007. Full Collapse is probably my favorite album as a whole, but there are songs from other albums I love more than any song on Full Collapse. Full Collapse has a special place because it's the album that made me fall in love with them.

Jet Black New Year is an awesome song.
