Remember the dude that found the Motts video? He strikes again, this time with a post from a gaming blog. Thanks Adam!
Legendary Japanese rocker Kyosuke Himuro, member of seminal band Boøwy, has teamed up with Gerard Way for the final song in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. The song was written by Gerard Way and performed by Himuro (however, Tiffa and I both here a little bit of him singing in the “whoa” parts in the end). Since Himuro is such a nice guy (or it could be the difference in culture), the song, “Safe and Sound“, with a trailer has already been put up on Himuro’s official website, so you can go check it out. Just make sure you click on “Trailer” in the navigation and click on “Safe and Sound” to load the video. Adam also said there’s no United States release date for the movie, yet, so hang tight and he’ll keep me updated if anything else comes in.
NME posted an interview of Gerard with Collider where he informs Collider who the screenwriter for The Umbrella Academy movie is going to be.
Now, speaking to Collider, Way has revealed the man who is set to pen the script: He said: “There’s a screenwriter, a great screenwriter named Mark Bomback – and he is the guy we’d love to do it.”
Gerard also talks about “Desolation Row”, Watchmen, and the Umbrella Academy movie and you can see Mikey and Frank with him.
Revolutions in Sound focuses on Warner Brother’s most legendary artists of the past 50 years. My Chemical Romance stands alongside Green Day, Tom Petty, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Madonna, and Eric Clapton, among many, many others. Not a bad place to be featured at all. Congratulations to My Chemical Romance! The song chosen for the feature is Welcome to the Black Parade. View the full tracklisting for Revolutions in Sound.
Thanks to Heather for the info!
So yeah. Go follow. All the site posts get posted there via the RSS feed so, if you’re active on Twitter, you’ll always know when an update hits the site.

Thank you Brandy Way for not letting me take a nap and showing me what could possibly be the cutest picture of Lindsey ever.
EDIT: Please note that (as stated in the comments) the validity of this photograph is under debate. I want to stay optimistic that it’s a recent photo, but I thought I’d at least post warning that it is under debate. Feel free to leave comments on this post and discuss 
And, yeah, yeah, so Frank and Jamia’s anniversary is on the 9th, I think. I don’t know. Six classes a week make things a bit fuzzy. I tried to find the post on the Bouncing Souls MySpace, and apparently it’s been taken off or deleted or something. Le sigh. So I’ll just go with you all and say it’s the 9th 
Thanks to Heather for the heads up! You can win that spiffy Venganza vest/USB thing. And, by the way, I looked it up, and “Venganza” is “Revenge” in Spanish…not that I really needed confirmation of that as I could assume that was the case, but oh well. Anyhow, to win it, you gotta submit an original image (Photoshop, sketch, drawing, painting, photograph, whatever) with “¡VENGANZA!” on it. Sound spiffy? Yeah. If I had known this I would’ve entered instead of buying one, you know, being a design student and all. Le sigh.
If anyone purchased it, did you get the “instant download” tracks of “Give ‘Em Hell Kid” and “Helena”? It told me it was included, but I never got them, so I have no clue what that was.
Yesterday was Mikey and Alicia‘s second wedding anniversary. Congrats. I’ll make a banner eventually.
The 10th is Frank and Jamia‘s so hopefully I’ll be on time with that one

Okay, so I suck. I’m well aware of this. I have six days worth of classes each week right now and, well, I need sleep. Badly. And I’m sure Kath and everybody has an equally busy life right now since we’re all students. To help cure this, I’ve enlisted my good friend Jenny. You might remember her as my concert buddy when we did shows and we were playing with Gerard’s boas and I posted a picture or two because it was funny. Anyhow, I’m going to show her rather quickly how to work this stuff and hopefully she’ll be able to help update since she had transfer credits and will be going to class 3-4 days a week. So yeah. Everybody say, “Hi, Jenny!” and hopefully I can keep her around until I can make sure my head’s not going to fall off.
Next order of business is the photos I had requested for Brandy Way. Thanks to Sasha for the first photo, the rest sent by Kristin. Obviously, Frank, Gerard, and Mikey are photographed, but in the background you can clearly see Alicia and Lindsey, and in one photograph to the far right over Frank’s shoulder, I believe that might be Jamia! Family vacation?
One of our best friends, Shell over at MCR-Pics.com, has posted an entire gallery of awesome quality photographs of the evening, so do head her direction to check those out.
Jeff posted this on the official site (thanks to Kmart for the heads up!): Alloy.com has called My Chemical Romance the most anticipated album of 2009. It’s nothing we don’t already know, but it’s still nice to hear.
Crappy update, am sorry, but hopefully Jenny will help get me on track…and the new layout is coming, I promise, so hopefully that’ll be up this weekend because this week was nuts.
Jeff over on My Chemical Romance’s base shot me another email with another discount code for you guys. If you missed the first one, you’ll like this one for sure.
From now until March 8 you can get 20% off all non-music items by entering MIKEY20 in the coupon box during checkout. So, yeah, click one of those links or you can click here.
As a side note, I have been very busy and I know I keep promising the new layout (my fault, I’m sorry, it’s a test run of a new design I’m thinking about) and I’ll be getting it coded for WordPress so hopefully it’ll be up this week. I really hope, because it’s kind of pretty and much better than what is currently up.
As another side note, Mikey Way coordinated his wardrobe to the current test layout by wearing a plaid shirt with (if the colors weren’t so blown out on the photograph) similar colors as our background. I’m amused
Ever since Gerard introduced “The Motts” it has become somewhat of a joke in my classes at college. One of my classmates manage to dig up one of the commercials that Gerard was talking about. While Adam hasn’t been able to specifically find the detective one where the kid is searching for “The Motts”, this one is still pretty classic. Enjoy!

By the way, Brandy Way is on the search for any photographs containing both Mikey and Lindsey (Lyn-Z). Can anyone help her out and send her an email or contact me via the contact form? If it’s okay to post your submission on the site, let us know that as well
