I am not ashamed


My Chemical Romance

to admit that I like the new My Chemical Romance single. Yeah, the whole parade motif is a bit (a bit?) goofy, and the Hot Topic approved wardrobe is totally played out, but the song is good. This Nightmare Before Christmas look has got to end.

Their singer guy seems to be real frontman. He's got that special look in his eye, and plays well to the camera. That's not something you can accuse many emo-punk bandleaders of. I also read that the first thing he did when his band broke was a nosedive into a giant mountain of blow, from which he just recently emerged, I guess that gives him some frontman cred. I also like his haircut.

I just wanted to cop to it. I like the new My Chemical Romance single. And I'd give their album a chance, but I hear it's one of those concept album/rock operas that the kids seem to love these days. Maybe I can get a free copy.
