I listened to Cancer.

It held no surprises.

Listen to "Helena" and "Desert song". You'll see what I mean. "Danger Days" doesn't have much emotional significance- it's meant to take the place of a comic book. The storyline in DD expands in Gerard's comic, "True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: California". They have it in most libraries. I highly reccomend it. It's an amazing book.

I'm listening to the last one, the live album.

My Chemical Romance's music is dripping with emotion.

Emotion. Singular, not plural.

Bad art can be just as thought-provoking to me as good art. I learned to look at capitalism anew from watching Battleship.

...whenever I'm feeling sad, and the beautiful songs help me realize I'm not alone in my struggles...

Oh, I so know what you mean.

I look around 2020 and all I see are shiny happy faces of people living their best lives of perfectly wondrous and joyous fulfillment, and all I really want is for some spoiled pampered A-lister whose grandchildren will struggle to spend the fortune they've amassed to express self-created angst I can identify with.

Edit: Jeb, can I nominate Exodus? My favourite verse is in there.

If you could prove that Jeffery Epstein listened to this, I'll instantly believe he killed himself.

My Chemical Romance's music is dripping with emotion. Especially "Desert Song", which is Gerard lamenting his struggles with alcoholism and drug abuse- he recorded it while he was drunk, and I think that just adds to the melancholic vibe of the song. I listen to their music whenever I'm feeling sad, and the beautiful songs help me realize I'm not alone in my struggles.

I'll read The Book of Lamentations. I'll tell you what I think of it when i finish.

Also, which of their albums are you on? I'd love to give you some background information on their music.

Re: Was Jesus Swarthy? (Emo-rama 2020 Debate, round four)

How about you read one book of the Bible (his choice) for each album that Jeb subjects himself to?

Lamentations to start with.

Technically this would be changing the nature of our deal, but anarcho-communism doesn't have any mechanism to enforce contracts, does it?

I am listening and trying to piece together a proper organized review, but I underestimated the severity of the task at hand, and the intensity of the second order effects. I just didn't know what I was getting into.

I'm sure on the other hand your COVID-cure is just zooming along, right? (get it? Zooming? Because things have to be coordinated with Zoom meetings, even though billions of people don't even have electricity?)

Re: Was Jesus Swarthy? (Emo-rama 2020 Debate, round four)

...Thank you for giving it a fair shot!

I'm thinking, the classy thing to do here might be to return the favour?

Re: Was Jesus Swarthy? (Emo-rama 2020 Debate, round four)

Jeb got depressed, and he doesn't know much about music anyway, so I'm taking over.

After Woodstock 99 I swore off rock music and promised to save my eardrums for Jesus, but hey, 9/11 changed everything.

Currently on second or third run through Danger Days.

You weren't kidding about needing to read the lyrics, the singer has less clarity than Charlie Brown's parents. The few bits I could make out all had to do with guns, so I'll keep listening. We like songs about guns.

haha! You'll like Conventional Weapons- there's a song literally called "Gun." Thank you for giving it a fair shot!

Re: Evaluating the 2024 Candidates: An Ongoing Thread

I'd like an essay called "The Covid Vaccine in an Anarco-Communist world: how it would work."

If it's to much, you could just do a novelization of the movie:

Hey! It's Kaylee! Bekkah and I wanted to know how far you were into their discography.

Re: Was Jesus Swarthy? (Emo-rama 2020 Debate, round four)

I'd say it takes more than one night at an opera to learn how to make decent music, but I'll still give it a chance, if only in the name of this "open-mindedness" thing I keep hearing about.

Hey! It's Kaylee! Bekkah and I wanted to know how far you were into their discography. Also they didn't go to the opera, they were inspired my Queen's "A Night at The Opera". What do you think of their music so far? We're currently working on planning out the essay you asked us to do.

All the best,

Absolutely Sister Basilissa! Who in their right mind wants to listen to 'Death Metal Screaming' where all they do is belt out messages of suicide.

Soothing sounds about Jesus is what people need to listen to.

I don't think people realize how near we are to the coming, Mr. Hutchins. The poor who have thin walls probably will hear it first.

Sweetie, why in the world would we do what you want us to do (that is listen to some trash that passes for "music" for the ignorant), when you never do what we want you to do (that is engage in a civil discussion in which you actually respond to peoples' arguments rather than ignore them and just move on to another subject).

Happy Listening!

Also please have the lyrics up as you listen. They made concept albums. The lyrics are important with them.
