Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying

[exsequar]

James stopped texting me randomly! Something must have come up, because I asked a question and he just never replied. I'm trying not to angst. I just want to see him again right nowwwww! Instead i have to live through a whole day of lab before I get to D:

(I swear I will not become one of those girls that only posts about her boyfriend. He's not even officially my boyfriend yet! Sheesh, Anne.)

Because I'm randomly curious, what's the song that you have the most versions of in your iTunes? By versions I mean different recordings, whether they be live, demos, or what have you. I was looking at my collection of MCR stuff (when I search for "My Chemical Romance" on my iTunes, 137 items come up O.O) and noticing that there are very few songs of theirs that I only have one copy of (not including covers and whatnot) - 12, in fact, and most of them are from Black Parade because I just generally don't like that album live too terribly much.

The surprising victor for most versions in my iTunes library is Our Lady of Sorrows, with seven. Or perhaps not surprising, because I fucking LOVE that song live, and the demo is amazing. ♥ In second place with six versions is a three-way tie: Helena, Vampires Will Never Hurt You and I'm Not Okay.

I KIND OF LOVE THEM A LOT, OKAY.

Which is why I almost cried when ladysorka quoted Gerard as saying "see you in a couple years." I mean, I know it's shitty entitlement and I really do want them to go take a NAP and have lots of happy married sex and maybe make babies? But I also want to see them live every week for the rest of my life. The increddddible setlist right now is too perfect to believe (VAMPIRES!!!!!!! HEAVEN HELP US!!!! HEADFIRST!! Sometimes Desert Song! The other B-Sides! Holy shit!) and I can't imagine it will ever be that awesome again, heh. Then again, their next album could be my most favorite album EVER, so we'll see. I do know that I will miss them terribly, but I'll be happy for them to get some rest. Also, them being the insane workaholics they are, and given my (USUAL!) proximity to them when I'm in Pennsylvania, there's a good chance I'll be able to catch them at some random shows in Jersey or something. Here's hoping!

Gah, sorry, when I talk about MCR I start to get rambly. In lieu of my goings on, have a radio interview with Mikey and Gee (well, pretty much Gee, obviously) that I found randomly on Youtube. Part 1 Part 2 I really like the interviewer, and you get to hear Gee talk about songs that don't often get much attention. For example, he considers Cubicles his most embarrassing song both musically and lyrically! I dunno, I rather like that one XD And when asked what song, out of either Bullets or Three Cheers, should be played at the end of the show, Mikey chooses Early Sunsets :D That just made me happy, for some reason. (Speaking of Early Sunsets, have you heard the demo? It's EMPTY without Frankie!)

I am exhausted, so with that I bid thee adieu. I will share details of my first real date with James afterwards :)

Hey there, I friended you the other week :D

I almost cried when ladysorka quoted Gerard as saying "see you in a couple years."

That was painful to read ;_; I do love reading concert recaps, but knowing that they probably won't be back in Australia (for like...3 years? Maybe?) cuts me a bit.

I love it when you ramble MCR at me, babe. *leers*

Oh, boys! I want them to take a break and be happy and come back to meeee. MCR BABIES, HOW CUTE WOULD THAT BE?

Hiya! *waves* Random lurker here. The demos you speak of are the Attic Demos, yes? I was wondering if I may be so presumptuous as to ask if you could possibly upload them? I would be ever so grateful! I've been trying to get my hands on those damn demos for ages, but no luck.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

They are indeed the most glorious Attic Demos! They're fascinating to listen to. I certainly can. Does megaupload work for you?

By the way, I recommend friending mychemicalmedia, the Attic Demos a long with a lot of other rare stuff was posted there recently.

Cool, thanks for the recommendation. Also, thank you so much for the demos! God, the boys sound so raw. I certainly get what you said about Early Sunsets, it really does sound empty. I kinda like that empty feeling though. With just this lone sweet guitar and a drum with Gerard's vocals in the background, the song feels really naked and emotional, which goes very well with the lyrics, I think. It's beautiful. Not that the Bullets version is any less beautiful, mind. :)
