25 days of MCR - day 1

Red Haired Killjoy Gee icon in honour of his changing back to black. Do I like it better? Yes? No? I really don't know what I think!

And in honour of a post from me after so long that I can't even remember how long it's been, here's an MCR meme that yekith is doing and that I thought looked fun:

Day 1- Favorite song off of Bullets

Without looking at the track list ('cos that'd be cheating!), I have to say Demolition Lovers. It's one of Gerard's "telling a story" songs - or maybe it would be better to say that it conjures up an atmosphere, because the story is largely left to the imagination... That's one of the things I absolutely love about their music, whether they call them concept albums or not, the worlds they evoke are fascinating. And Demolition Lovers sums up the star-crossed lovers on the run vibe of the whole album. Doomed to end their days "in a hail of bullets"... Here, have a listen.

Close second favourites are Our Lady of Sorrows and Headfirst for Halos. Can I have two second favourites? Of course I can!

I love this album. I'm a huge fan of the darkness of pre-Killjoys MCR.
