The Black Parade / Living with Ghosts Album Art
In honor of their iconic album, The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance just released a 10-year anniversary reissue with a bunch of previously unreleased content. One of these unreleased songs is "The Five of Us are Dying", an early version of the title track "Welcome to the Black Parade". This is the first song on this show and Rocket follows it with talk about the new album. Rocket talks about DHS homecoming and the football game against Jesuit this weekend. DHS also elected Harambe as homeoming royalty in case anyone missed that. Rocket talks about the first presidential debate and the sad picture of Bernie Sanders that quickly circulated online. Rocket talks about the latest and greatest Acme play reading, "And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank". Long story short: it was sad. Short story long: it had a really interesting integration of technology in the script so that an actual performance would be accompanied by raw interview footage of the actual holocaust servivors the story follows. This show also has some killer jokes. The second song is "A la Faveur de l'automne" by Tete and the final song is "Sleep" by MCR, also off The Black Parade and exceptionally topical with school starting up again and especially with this whole junior year thing.
