Some "nobody here cares" news: If anyone else here has heard of My Chemical Romance's disbanding, then you can probably guess approximately how I feel today.
The Black Parade has meant so much to me on a personal level, they made music I could identify with, that spoke to me, was occasionally incredibly cathartic, and so on. I'd been anticipating their next album eagerly, constantly on the edge of my seat any time any tidbit of news about it leaked, and now I get to know that there isn't going to be one. I am, at least for a little while, miserable and grieving. To nobody's surprise, I cried when I first read it when I woke up this morning. :[
So at the moment I'm listening to their last three albums (as the first was pretty terrible) in honour of losing one of my top few favourite bands/artists. Hopefully whatever they go on to do on their own (please, God, let them go do other projects and not quit music) will be fantastic, because I'll gladly follow each of their individual projects. I just really, really hope that whatever they go do on their own will be nearly as good as their work as an amazing collective.
Farewell, My Chemical Romance. I wish I'd discovered you earlier so I could've gone along for the ride and actually seen you live.
