ok well because i got my arse kicked off the comp for about 3 hours i wasn't able to blog at any normal time of day so i guess i might as well do it now, it's 12:30 and im still wide awake, should i be worried? yes i think so....

Sorta still going along with the theme to everything before i know a lot of people are genuinely surprised when they find out that I really do enjoy listening to punk/emo. So the 2nd band on the list of 7 musicians that i enjoy listening to is MCR, My Chemical Romance.

Yes readers, i am well aware that even the mention of the name MCR parallels the thoughts with emo's, wrist cutting and premature death...but even if some of the names of the song's and indeed the lyrics are a bit sus...(Kill All Your Friends O.O really?) that the music by itself are quite interesting to listen to as long as you do not really listen to the lyrics in the most sense then the quality of the song's increase exponentially.

For example I know most people are aware of Welcome to the Black Parade and Teenagers, both rather new songs from their albums which have indeed made it onto mainstream cinema and tv shows there are a couple of other songs which i recommend you listen to on the album, even just to appreciate Gerard Way's incredible vocal range. These songs include This Is How I Disappear which is a pretty punk rock tune but also the two songs I Dont Love You and Cancer, both very meaningful songs which i recommended anyone who wants to listen to them to pay attention to their lyrics.

Apart from these four, some other songs which i think showcase great ability and standards in terms of the genre in one of the older albums Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. I would actually in all seriousness recommend to listen to the whole album, each song is great to listen to as long as you aren't a lyrics person because some of the lyrics are quite dodgy in that sense.

So here's a bit more love for a band which i know many of my friends who might read this would not enjoy but hey maybe ill get more people listening to them. Shout out to Elena who got my hooked onto MCR :P. Also just a reminder to people who read, i really do enjoy comments about the music themselves and other bands/artists who i should listen to/blog about because i am always up for new music regardless of what it sounds like so please shout these out because otherwise it feels really lonely otherwise.

At any rate time to sleep before Spain vs Germany and next one will be a slightly different genre. Ciao
