- Tomorrow, the entire Danger Days album will be streamed at noon PST! Why yes, I'll listening.

- The video for "Sing" premiers on Thursday!

- THE ALBUM IS RELEASED NEXT WEEK.

Aaaaand, tour dates!

Fri, 04/01/2011 Roseland Theatre
Portland, OR

Sun, 04/03/2011 Showbox Sodo
Seattle, WA

[livejournal.com profile] cass404, we need to coordinate ticket plans. Because we're going to both shows.

I am really excited that they're not playing stadiums this time. Roseland is where I saw them on the Black Parade Is Dead! tour, and it's a great venue. Showbox Sodo has some flaws, but it's still MILES better than the WaMu stadium where I saw them on the Black Parade tour.

Now if someone could just arrange to bring me the band for my birthday on Wednesday, that would be perfect. ;)

Day two of exhaustion, brain fog, cramps, and general wooziness. I am starting to suspect that, period-wise, I get either COMPLETE EMOTIONAL MELTDOWN, or feeling like I'm coming down with the flu. I don't like either choice, obviously.

While being flopped on the couch today I did manage to get a GCS update written and sent off to my awesome beta readers. Next, I will try working on the fiction project and hope that Words Are Not Gone.

In geebling fangirl news (you've missed such updates, admit it): the video for "Na Na Na" by MCR premiers on MTV next Thursday night. I hope it will be available on iTunes VERY SOON afterward. Also, they've posted the information for the Danger Days: "California 2019 Edition" Box Set of the album. (clicky-link!) CD, photo book, "bad luck" wooden bead bracelet, ray gun, mask, and 3-song EP from The Mad Gear & Missile Kid. (No, I don't know who they are, either.) This may come a shock to many of you, but I'm NOT purchasing this.

(Stop asking if I'm delirious with fever. I'M FINE.)

I think it's a nifty collection of stuff, but it doesn't have me pawing at the monitor in the way that the pretty black velvet limited edition box for The Black Parade did. So, not buying it.

---

Wow, I would like to stop feeling quite so head-spinny now. I have things I need to do!
Full track list and release date for the MCR album! 15 tracks, to be released November 22nd. Whee! I wonder what sort of super-deluxe limited edition is going to be offered for sale. Yes, I will probably purchase said fancy version. (I admit it: not only do I have the fancy version of The Black Parade in the pretty velvet box, I have the special edition of The Black Parade Is Dead with a Dia de los Muertos mask. I was very excited when I figured out that I had gotten the mask Gerard designed.)

"Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)" has its US release to iTunes on Tuesday the 28th! I am hoping the video is released at the same time. Please?

I am not going to get to watch Vampire Diaries tonight, as I got a late start to some stuff I needed to do. I will not be able to see the season premier for Supernatural tomorrow night, as at the time it airs, I will be off to the gothy club with the StuntHusband. So I will watch them both on Saturday night, while I prep for the Giant Gothy Yard Sale that happens on Sunday.

Fandom glee! I keep seeing posts from people talking about wanting to put together Fabulous Killjoys -themed costumes. Eeeee! So fun! So ... totally not my thing, so I won't be going to quite that fannish extent, but I am very excited to see what other people do. (Look, Black Parade could almost have been costumed out of my closets, that one was a no-brainer for me.)
The Husband has been playing Halo: Reach since it came out on Tuesday. The past few days, he's been playing multi-player in it. But on this particular map? Mission? Something? The Very Serious Halo Voice will occasionally say:

"Revenge."

"Killjoy."


It is taking ALL of my willpower not to turn to him and burble "Awww, the Halo game is excited about the new MCR album, too! Revenge AND Killjoys!"

I know he would not find this as amusing as I do. But I think it's hysterical.
What slays me most (I think) about the whole teaser trailer and concept for the new album is just HOW MUCH their dorktasticness is showing. Because let's face it, the boys are pretty much LARPing in the desert. We're a gang! A post-apocalyptic, punk rock gang! With ray guns! Fighting guys in masks! Did we mention that Grant Morrison is the bad guy? Because he totally is!"

(I really, REALLY want to know who in the band (if any of them) were behind which Twitter accounts.)

Aesthetic-wise, yeah, I preferred The Black Parade, because they kind of looked like the gothy love children of Adam Ant. (Hello, black military jackets with lots of silver buttons? Were you boys hiding in my closet, and if so, how the HELL did I not notice?) But this primary-colored, gleeful punk-rock comic book sensibility? This is going to be SO MUCH ridiculous, giddy fun.

WANT ALBUM NOW. NOW, NOW, NOW. Preferably hand-delivered to me by GWay, thanks. Also, start pointing me to the Danger Days AU fic NOW, peeps. I know some has already got to be out there.
So the longer post of fangirl geebling is over at my LJ, but the important info is this:

New MCR album, with a supposed release date of 11/22! (Happy belated birthday to ME!)

The first single is rumored to be "Bulletproof Hearts", with a release date of 9/28! THAT IS SOON! OH THANK GOODNESS!

I am ridiculously flaily about this. Gerard's description of the album being post-apocalyptic punk pop? BRING IT. It sounds like the boys have been mainlining Tank Girl and Transmetropolitan comics, and I am all for that.

I think that while the Stroppy One is off at his appointment this afternoon, I will have The Black Parade Is Dead! playing on the TV while I edit.
A RELEASE DATE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED (via Rolling Stone) FOR THE NEXT MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ALBUM! November 22! (Yes, I AM going to consider it a slightly-belated birthday present to me, thanks.)

I am amused by the album description from Rolling Stone:

My Chemical Romance had nearly finished a dark Stooges influenced LP when frontman Gerard Way came to an important realization: He hated it. "We were just trying to be America's young rock band," he recalls. "We did that, and what came back was boring." They scrapped the record and started over, writing and recording a new set of songs, mostly synth-happy, technicolor pop tunes, complete with an unabashed dance beat on "Planetary (GO!)." Like the band's last album, 2006's Black Parade, the new disc has a unifying conceit: It's supposed to be a transmission from a post-apocalyptic radio station in 2019. "It's a party record," says Way. "The scariest thing was to admit to ourselves that we wanted to have a good time." Way is particularly fond of the obnoxiously catchy opening track, "Na Na Na." "It's the pop-punk 'Hey Ya,'" he says. "It sounds like a big gang of children yelling. It's dumb as fuck, really."

Post-apocalyptic pop punk? Okay, why not! This certainly explains all the mystery Twitter accounts that read like Mad Max crossed with Fear & Loathing. And the references to rayguns.

(Gerard, honey. The blond hair? Really? ::sigh::)

New album! Which means TOUR! (I hope, I hope.)
