1) The Black Parade is now available for the world over! Yeah, so go buy it if you haven't yet kids. I don't know but it would appear the only version around in the UK is the black (inverted) version of the album... but I saw the white version in London on Sunday, so I guess the colour you get purely depends on where you troop off to. However, both are the same. As for the limited edition copy... which includes a 64-page book including the story of the recording, artwork and track-by-track reviews by Frank and Ray (I think)... why oh why must my parents be so uptight about buying stuff online?

2) Credit to Vikki for this info - 2-10fm (local radio station for Reading and Hampshire and such not) have been playing 'Famous Last Words', introducing it as number uno on their Top 40 thing. So I suppose it's safe to say this will be the legendary next single... which is good news (it's my favourite off the record). The video is due to be aired early next year, apparently.

3) On the subject of the LE version of The Black Parade, I managed to scavenge myself some of the key details. Want them? You know you do. Bear with me, this is painful:
- Mikey Way (we assume) suffered depression and was in such a state that he was forced to leave the house in which the album was written for a long period of time to recover. The band took a break from writing to wait for him to return, as they didn't feel like a band without him.
- Ray kept staying up all night playing. I can picture that... can you?
- Frank refers to Gerard as somebody that's 'drunk off genius pills'. Cute much?
- Ray says that 'Woody Woodpecker somehow crept in' on the Dead! solo. Awww, Ray, he's educated on cartoon culture all right.
- Gerard is obsessed with Joan Of Arc... righteo.

I'm going to see if I can find a way of getting this... yayness.
Long live the black parade and whatnott.

XD
I can picture Ray as an Insomniac Woody Woodpecker XD.
Nooooo!! Mikey!! We love yoo!!
Even though yoo lack the glasses,,
You're the Mikey we all know and love!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm... this is weird,, as Kerrang!,, Mikey and Gerard have also stated that Gerard went through a pre-midlife crisis during the making of this record.
Confused much? So am I,, I'll check into it.

Sticking o nthe topic of being confused much,, my dearest Mama has said that she heard the track I Don't Love You on one of these three radio stations: 2-10 FM,, Capital Radio or BBC Radio 1. This is also very... weird.

So yeah.

Prepare to don the bizarre makeup and talcum powder,,
Saturday here we come!

So long And Goodnight...
Yazz

Gerard did have a 'mid-life crisis' and broke down... but he never left the house. The LE book doesn't name any names, but if it had been Gerard he would of been open about it and told us all aboout it - it is what he does :]]
It was Mikey, he explained his depression in an MTV interview which I've forgotten the link for (and can't watch anyways, as my internet is still releatively screwed over)... poor Mikey :[ I love that kid.
Even though his long jacket scares me still to this day.

Haha, I can totally imagine Gerard's hand-gestures at the beginning of Sleep :]]

XD So can I now.
Like when it was the K! Awards in 2005 and he had this uncontrollable twitch in his leg.
"This house **hands start doing weird stuff** of terrrrorrrsssss **leg starts twitching**" XD

That long jacket is creepy.
Along with Mikey actually moving on stage!!
AHA!! That could of been what made him more emotional on stage...?
