My brother's a little deaf, and therefore plays music from his computer a little too loud. (Doug if you're reading this, it's okay I forgive you.) Because of this I get a rough idea of just what kind of music he and his "generation" listen to. There's so much talk about bands who were previously unknown now seeping into what they call mainstream. One perfect example,
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE or MCR in short.
I'm not an advocate of punks/rebels/what-else who "hate" people who start listening to bands just because everyone else is. It wasn't THAT long ago when I started listening to them, introduced by Haikal(is it?). I liked their music, so I listened, downloaded, etc. These people probably have their own reasons for what they feel, I won't go into that.
What does bug me is the potential shit that may arise. First, they're being shown on MTV and played on the radio. Overplayed. I fear the worst - that they may end up with the fate similar to Hoobastank's "The Reason". Way too over-played, over-performed and eventually I came to hate the song altogether. But I guess that's just me.
This picture was taken in HMV quite a long time ago (not by me). I thought the MCR albums used to be hidden away on the second level but I guess that isn't the case anymore. In fact, you would be lucky to see
THREE CHEERS FOR SWEET REVENGE on shelves together with the likes of Busted and Good Charlotte. As much as it angers many to see MCR albums placed together with Busted ones(pun intended), a band commonly known to be like Backstreet Boys just with guitars, I wonder how they feel knowing that MCR is actually sold out in HMV. MCR is becoming a household name and at the rate it's going, so will other 'unknown' bands. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate anyone for this nor do I wish it didn't happen. Sure, everyone should listen to what they like. It's just the overdose that bugs me.
Oh well, at least those people won't need to suffer the experience of seeing the above picture in real life. I just hope that you don't go over to a friends place and hear MCR blaring from his baby sister's room.
"I'm not okaaaaay......"
Today I reached school at ten plus, only to get dragged at about eleven something to Harbourfront for lunch. In that period of time I managed about two and a half math questions. What a productive start. After eating at Yoshi and getting a drink from Cheers, I went to get
TEMPURA from the place next to Mc's. It's really not bad, except that it started to get a little yucky after eating too much. Anyways, the more important thing is that while in Harbourfront, I spotted something that looked really familiar.
Notice that dark blue letter "T" there? It was pasted there a LONG time ago, when that area was still under construction. Taken from a sign that said "TO MRT". At least more than a year ago if i'm not wrong. The best thing is that I was with the group of people who pasted it there. But unfortunately, my memory seems to be going and I just cannot recall just who was in the "group" of people I was with when we pasted it. So if you happen to know who it was, or it was YOU, please let me know. Hah, thanks.
Returned to school after that to continue studying. Was freezing my ass off in the library with Thng. It's a really good place to study, save for the sub-zero temperatures. I lost feeling in my fingers towards the end. Completed most of my Math already, only left with Continuous Random Variables which I know shit about. Missed the lecture completely and I've got to start from scratch for that chapter. Oh well...
Now, here comes an abrupt ending.
