Upcoming My Chemical Romance Album to Protest Pre-Danger Days "Stasis"

·      My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way called in to Kerrang! Radio and explained the inspiration behind Danger Days: True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.
Way says that what he loves about the bands upcoming album is that "there's not really a story to follow," a definite change for a band that is known for its concept albums.

"This record, you can just turn up really loud, and enjoy it in a different way. There's obviously meaning in every song and I'm speaking very directly to the listener, but there's no story to follow. The real story this time was the journey we took to create the album."

"It is definitely a record to listen to from start to finish, but I think it's one of those things that you'll find a favorite song kind of every other time you listen to it."

Regarding the band's drastic, colorful image change, Way said it was something the band had really wanted to do.

"If anything, it was a rebellion against how we used to look... If [this record] is rebelling against anything, it's rebelling against ourselves."

Way feels confident that fans will take the change well.

"I feel like the selves that we're rebelling against are the guys who went in to make that previous attempt. It wasn't the guys making ...Revenge, or the guys making ...Bullets... and ...Parade. We're basically gunning for these guys who had made this attempt at this 'rock record,' and what we ended up with, in my opinion, is something that is far more of a rock album in terms of its spirit. It does sound like a band that's free and rebelling against something."

RUMORED New Drummer:

·      Tim Hagevik is the new drummer for my chemical romance

What The People For MCR Are:

·      Alright! So, this is who we know so far. (Any name marked with a ** is what is more or less still an educated guess as opposed to officially canon.)

·      Dr. Death Defying: Runs the WKIL transmissions channel, which is a pirate radio station. Older gentleman with a nice voice. Quite possibly suffers from physical challenges that leave him dependent on crutches and a motorized wheelchair. Adversarial relationship with News A Go Go; undetermined relationship with Agent Cherri Cola; supportive of Party Poison and the other Killjoys, if not an outright friendship or mentor-ship; knows Tommy Chow Mein. Hangs out/works with Show Pony. (Twitter: http://twitter.com/drdeathdefyinghttp://twitter.com/drdeathdefying)

·      Agent Cherri Cola: So far, all we know about Agent Cherri Cola is what’s on their Twitter account. We don’t even know their gender! Possibly a robot or cyborg. Has an undetermined relationship with Dr. Death Defying, as well as undetermined relationships with News A Go Go and Party Poison. (Twitter: http://twitter.com/agentcherricolahttp://twitter.com/agentcherricola)

·      News A Go Go: As the name implies, some sort of news outlet. Whether one person or a collective comprise News A Go Go is as yet undetermined, though they tend to use first person plural pronouns. Possibly attached to the BLND transmissions channel, which currently shows a weather report for the Zones and three surveillance videos. Adversarial relationship with Dr. Death Defying. Undetermined relationship with Agent Cherri Cola; possibly they worked together in the past, but now they don’t. Finds the -a suffix a sufficient substitute for -er suffix. (Twitter: http://twitter.com/newsagogohttp://twitter.com/newsagogo)

·      Tommy Chow Mein: According to News A Go Go, nobody knows why he exists. Also according to News A Go Go, he is possibly not operating on all pistons. Initially came on the scene trying to sell various things, mostly plots of land. Later revealed to have some sort of connection to Dr. Death Defying, perhaps as a gofer of goods. (Twitter: http://twitter.com/TommyChowMeinhttp://twitter.com/tommychowmein)

·      Party Poison: Possible leader of a motor army (or gang) comprised of four men and a little girl. Wears a distinctively large blue-furred mouse/cat helmet, which appears to act as part of a rebreather unit. Also known for wearing a yellow mask covered in blue spots and black triangles above and below the eyes. Stands apart from his friends by his bright red hair and blue leather jacket. Symbol is a reinvention of the classic jolly roger with a two-color pill capsule above a solid X.

·      Jet-Star**: A member of the same motor army as Party Poison, Kobra Kid, and S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W. [Good lord, I hope that spelling turns out to be not canon! Like…codename, yes. Spelling… Let’s just have it Scarecrow, please? XD] Wears an astronaut type of helmet with a yellow lightning bolt down right side. Also possesses a blue mask with hot pink around the eyes. Symbol is a black star with white eyes and a mouth, as well as a small lightning bolt or fuse on the left arm of the star.

Okay, so, My Chemical Romance will be the death of me.

·      It’s true. I thought it was over. But then this appeared.

·     

·      Uhm, yeah. It’s some creepy guy giving the Weather report. But here’s the thing:

·      The station isn’t BLND, it’s BL/ind.

·      At first, no big deal. Then I’m like, “Hey. Ind could stand for something all by itself. And if that’s true, then we have to look at BL by itself. Not together.”

·      Uhm, yeah. I have conversations with myself.

·      So, I figured it out. By looking at Gerard Way’s Twitter page. No kidding.

·      BL/ind stands for Better Living Industries. They control everything. It’s obvious because they have vending machines, food, television stations with, “the only news.”

·     

·      Well, this is the weather report. I feel like we’re missing something here. There are six zones he mentioned plus Battery City. So Battery City is located outside the zones. Damn. The only place left?

·      Zones 1-3 are very warm weather. Zones 4-6 are having acid rain all week. How nice. Battery City, however, has comfortable weather.

·      After the weather report, the creepy cameras come on. First, the mouse guy (Gerard, I’m guessing) with creepy music. Second, draculoids with the sound of helicopter blades and someone talking. Then a phone ringing. Third, sounds of the beach. Waves and seagulls. Oh, and NOISE aka Show Pony aka Ladyboy. What are these cameras for? Surveillance? If so, who’s watching?

·      Better Living Industries. They must kind of act like government or authority in this world, keeping everything in order. Everything that has Better Living’s logo on it appears to be colorless, like the cans of food or the vending machine.

·      So I went back to the part in the video with the vending machine and noticed something else. The newspaper that Frank is reading, WANTED: THE KILLJOYS. With their pictures. Older pictures, though. Underneath, it has Grant Morrison’s picture. “What’s his next Korse of Action?” WTF?! THEY SPELLED COURSE WRONG!

·      Haha, I’m kidding. They probably did it on purpose.

·      So if they did it on purpose, and they spelled course as korse, that means it has to be related to Grant Morrison… Or should I say, Korse?

·      Hmm. And at the end, Grant fights the Killjoys. The Killjoys are wanted by the government. So, therefore, Grant must work for the government. Okay, can I just call him Korse? He has to be Korse.

·      Perhaps Korse is in charge of everything. The newspaper wondered what his next move would be— That’s a typical thing you would expect to be written of someone in politics.

·      So, I’m just repeatedly going over the trailer for anything that was missed. First thing you notice is NOISE aka Show Pony aka Ladyboy going through a graffitied mess of a broken down shack. On the window you can read “BRAKES” and “TUNE-UPS.” So, probably an old auto body shop. Then the next thing is we see the Killjoys in an old Diner. Though, the n and r are missing, so it’s just DI E . Clever. The vending machine with Better Living’s logo is outside.

·      At the end of the video, it’s obvious they escaped Korse again. The sounds of the helicopter are evident as it is in the surveillance video of the draculoids.

NewsAGoGo Dead:

·      Twitter feed NewsAGoGo has been put down. AgentCherriCola starts the battle of Battery City. Seems there is a war coming? Any more theories?

More Theories:

·      Mysteriously, NewsAGoGo’s profile picture and background changed into the Power Pup logo [or the Better Living Industries logo]. Yesterday, he [I’m assuming it’s a he] twitter this:

o      Trannnssssssmisssssionnn @drrrrrrrdeeeeethdddeeefyinggggg HELPppllLLLppp!!!,.,

·      And with his new profile picture he twitted this 14 minutes ago:

o      The following statement is being brought to you by Power Pup. http://yfrog.com/jtmobijhttp://yfrog.com/jtmobij

o      Power Pup. All rights reserved. Any violation will result in alteration, dislocation, and relocation.

o      This station is no longer operational. Have a BETTER day.

·      Many people predicted NewsAGoGo might be “Korse” [Grant Morrison aka the white bald guy] or someone working for him. I think he’s on the “good” side, as part of the resistance. He’s been communicating with Party Poison and Dr. Death Defying. So I think he’s on our side. Plus he asked Dr. Death Defying for help, how much more do you need?

·      The BLND channel on the transmissions page features a weather broadcast saying Fact News is the only news. The logo BL/ind is also featured, which stands for Better Living Industries, which is on the Power Pup everything [kibble cans, soda machine]. BL/ind is on the bad side.

·      They found NewsAGoGo and took him down.

·      DJHotChimp tweeted:

o      RIP @newsagogo This one goes out to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb2NW3QfonIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb2NW3QfonI

·      So NewsAGoGo is dead. More from AgentCherriCola [who I’m convinced is Ladyboy/Show Pony]:

o      My god… @newsagogo down. They’re in the zones. @partypoisondrdeathdefying @djhotchimp don’t let them find you alive @

·      “They’re” obviously stands for the draculoids or the bad guys under Korse. So now all we have to do is wait.

·      Something is coming. All we have to do is keep our eyes open.

·      P.S. TommyChowMein just tweeted. This is giving me the idea that this is either random or that he’s on the evil side.

o      About to get my hands on some used television equipment! Anyone interested, stay tuned!

·      Actually, I’m thinking he’s just selling NewsAGoGo’s equipment. I don’t think anything he tweets is THAT relevant, honestly.

·      UPDATE:

·      AgentCherriCola’s new tweet:

o      Had enough. On overdrive. Heading into the heart of Battery City. Fist first. Taking out anyone in my way. FYW! Fuck Your World!

·      So he’s angry. And is going to go to Battery City [which is an environment controlled by the bad guys, I’m thinking].

Review of The Album:

·      http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=140&p=9147&title=my_chemical_romance_danger_days_first_li&more=1&c=1

From Sensation Reviews:

Look alive sunshine …
Singer Gerard Way twittered those very words a few months ago and since then, fans have been on edge. We (yes, I am indeed a huge fan of the New Jersey quartet) were sent into a frenzy when around three weeks ago, a cryptic addition was made to the My Chemical Romance website. Now I’m not going to get into details because frankly, I still don’t really comprehend much of what’s going on but in one word, it is all incredibly awesome.
I will however, note the disappointment of the lack of the band or anything MCR-related at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. However, it wasn’t long after that that the band gave us a taste of what’s about to come within the next two months or so. I can guarantee that I’m not the only one who was expecting for the band to just pop up out of nowhere and premiere their new single.
Alas, that didn’t happen.
Which sucked.
So bad.
But, moving along, MCR soon answered our prayers and left us this trailer; Art Is The Weapon. I was online when the video went up and the internet just seemed to have exploded at that moment. In said video, we see that the band are the killjoys and that they are a bunch of bad ass individuals. Also, Gerard said in an interview with KROQ this morning that the killjoys aren’t just them, but also the fans.
Now, speaking of KROQ, the song in the trailer was played in its entirety for the second time (a radio station over in Philly seemed to have gotten around to doing that first) this morning and it’s easy to hear the punk sound that the band seem to have achieved this time ‘round in this track from Danger Days: The Fabulous Lives Of The Killjoys.
Aside from the catchiest thing I have ever heard (“NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA”), which is funnily enough the actual title, the lyrics are incredibly reminiscent of the band’s first two releases and for most fans, this is really great. Their last LP, The Black Parade was good, but You Brought Me Your Bullets, I Brought You My Love and Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge have been fan favourites.
There was quite a bit of anxiety over the new songs the band would be bringing out, considering how much they’ve been through since their last album (marriage, babies, etc) and many were worried that we’d be getting a whole bunch of sappy love songs but Na Na Na has examples of a song quite the contrary.

Love, gimme me love, gimme me love,
I don’t need it but I’ll take what I want from your heart.

Along with that, we also see references to Batman and jazz hands.
Na Na Na, despite it’s simplistic title, has a lot going on and is really quite deep. After all, Way singing “everybody wants to change the world/but no one wants to die” isn’t particularly bubblegum pop, now is it?
All around, an amazing punk, guitar-driven song which definitely gets me excited for their upcoming album which is due to drop around mid-November.

My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na Na

Na Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Na Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Na Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Na Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

Drugs, give me drugs, give me drugs
I don't need it but I sell whatcya got
Take the cash and I'll keep it
Eight legs to the wall, hit the gas to the wall
And we crawl and we crawl and we crawl

Can people stand it here

Love, give me love, give me love
I don't need it but I take what I want from your heart
And I keep it in a bag, in a box, with a X on the floor
Give me more, give me more, give me more

Shout out and sing it with me
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

For my security
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
To every enemy
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Were on your property
Standing in a V formation

It's pulling out of here
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
(Can't make this line out)
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
You gotta apologize
Give us more denotation

Give me more, give me more, give me more

Oh let me tell you about the sad man
Shut up and let me see your jazz hands
Or remember when you were a mad man
Though you was Batman and hit the party with a gas  can

Kiss me you animal
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

You wanted company
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
For your ? (Cant make this out)
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
I can't remember that(?) (Cant make this out)
Burning your information

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

It's more than operate
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Or plastic surgery
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
You gotta apologize
Give us more denotation

And right here, right now, all the way in battery city
The little children, raise their open filthy palms
Like tiny daggers, up to heaven

And all you dogs and railroad rats and us angels made from neon
And garbage scream out "what will save us?", and the sky opened up

Everybody wants to change the world, everybody wants to change the world
But no one, no one wants to die
Wanna try, wanna try, wanna try, wanna try, wanna try, wanna try
I'll be the deal breaker

Na Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Na Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

Make no apology
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
It's like a victory
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
I'm on a theory
Crash and burn, your the looted

Tough like a bullet shell
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Just like a sleeper cell
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
I'd rather go to hell, then be in a purgatory
Cut my hair, gag and bore me
Pull this pin, let this world explode





DO NOT SAY YOU DID THIS WHEN I TOOK 2 HOURS OF MY TIME TO DO THIS.
THIS IS ABOUT 85% RIGHT, SOME PARTS ARE TOO LOW TO HEAR!

KILLJOYS MAKE SOME NOISE!!!

Possible Title Leak?

·      Before you read, don’t go and fan girl about it, it isn’t official yet.

o      After all the waiting and the secrecy and the shenanigans, it seems like the big reveal of My Chemical Romance’s new album’s title and release date may have been accidentally spoiled on Twitter.

o      The Twitter for the magazine Coup De Main posted a now-deleted status that read as follows:

o      My Chemical Romance fans! the new MCR album ‘Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys’ will be released in NZ on November 22nd!

o      This is even more surprising given that The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys was supposedly the title of a comic that My Chem lead singer Gerard Way was working on with Shaun Simon and artist Becky Cloonan.  The project was announced at San Diego Comic Con in 2009.

o      So, does this mean that the comic will be released as a tie-in with the new album?  Or has the comic been cancelled for good?  Or is this Twitter announcement mistaken or a hoax?  Only time will tell, apparently.

WKIL

·      Dr. Death Defyings Channel.

o      Hes been trying to clear the static for us.

o      You can hear Gerard sing “Look Alive Sunshine” in it.

Someone posted this comment on the new youtube video:

·       “ZOMG! dude i think i got something figured out! listen: for those of u who r obsessive MCR/Gerard Way or like the Umrella Academy like me you might know that instead of Hazel and Chacha in the umbrella academy their_ was originaly be one “hitman” named Bruno, Bruno looked like that…almost like Mickey mouse :3 and that mouse creture thing, that i’m callin’ Bruno is also on the BLND channel on the transmision TV thing…so yah it has to do with the new album peoples love yah :)”

New Picture Surfaces From Rolling Stones Magazine!

·      Girl Automatic from Tumblr Posted this along with the picture:

·      Never let it be said I am not surrounded by observant tipsters.

o      SO. I’m tired. My brain is so fucking empty that I haven’t even written an evening report. My back is sore. I’m getting ready to do the sign-off call for the night when this picture gets wired to me by Twitter user yukikomomo.

o      Mind you, I’m still all of the above, but I am also very, very excited. Normally, it would be the leather jacket G-Fett’s sporting (because some people know how I feel about leather jackets) but look at this! Look at this beautiful bounty of information! I feel like I’ve just been handed a Christmas present! And I am sharing it with you.

o      Granted, it doesn’t mean the shenanigans are any clearer, but looook! If not the information, look at the picture! There’s so many amazing things going on in this picture! It’s so ridiculous and weird! I love it.

o      It’s apparently from the current issue of Rolling Stone. I know who’s going to try and push for a detour to the PX tomorrow when she’s on base picking up her medication refills~! But for now, I am going to sleep to dream of the ample amounts of redorkulous going on, instead of squealing like the hyperactive eat-breathe-sleep-live-for-My-Chem fangirl I was in my early days of loving this band (and still clearly am in some respects). I will have a full report in the morning/early afternoon.

o      Thanks again, Yukiko! And please thank your very thoughtful friend in L.A. for sending you this picture in the first place. My night has been made. <3

o      ETA: Apparently I am so excited by this picture that I failed to realize that G-Fett’s in a denim jacket. Er. Yes. So. Clearly going to bed now to get the sleep I need…

Twitter Thoughts From Someone On Tumblr:

·      Okay, so I had a thought on the recent tweets, and that thought exploded into what I think is an epiphamy.

·      We know now for a fact that Dr. Death Defying is sending a signal of music through the WKIL channel as a Pirate Radio, and someone is trying to suppress it. With that I’d like to add Agent Cherri’s request to “Turn up the disease, we’re dialed in.” and then suddenly the News announces Zone 3 is missing and is looking for it.

·      Now here’s where I get all speculatory. Regarding WKIL and the Star Spangled Banner, I get the feeling it’s there like a test card. Whatever is broadcasting on that channel is getting censored out by someone, who just blocked the signal with the benign anthem, like how some channels cut to different cameras or commercials in live TV when they tape delay stuff. I hope that makes sense. ^^;

·      Okay, and the deal with Agent Cherri. I think her and Dr. Death are in fact working together, and maybe Agent Cherri, who apparently used to work for the News… hijacked the signal from Zone 3, making it “disssapear”, so that the Dr. could use it. He didn’t fix the antenna for the WKIL channel till after “all is forgiven” between him and Agent Cherri, and maybe it’s because she knew enought to help him fix it.

·      I wish this was steeped in more fact, but this is my conclusion. I’m now waiting to see if the WKIL channel changes again. If it does, I’m going to scream so loud, you’ll be able to hear it from where you are.

A Single Name?

·      Apparently, we have a single and artwork?  Hasn’t been officially announced, but the OP basically said it was from Warner Bros site.

From USA Today:

·      My Chemical Romance, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (November)

o      Auditing the sound: Frontman Gerard Way and company had finished a raw rock album last year, then chucked it and started over after getting signals from a fresh muse. While not a concept album like 2006's The Black Parade, Danger Days represents a transmission blasted from the future, according to the band. Planetary (GO!) and Na Na Na are among the confirmed tracks produced by Rob Cavallo and recorded in Calabasas, Calif. No other specifics have been leaked, and the band's blog advises fans to "look alive, keep your ears to the ground and your eyes bloodshot and open … there are signs everywhere."

o      Eyeing the sales:The Black Parade was the band's biggest artistic and commercial success, selling 1.5 million copies (for a career total of 3.7 million albums) while impressing critics with its daring and ambitious strokes. Blender dubbed it "the Sgt. Pepper of screamo." My Chemical Romance's profile grew substantially with Parade, and the follow-up's scrapped first draft and tight lid on details have fans salivating.

HMV Removes MCR Title:

·      HMV has now removed the apparent My Chem’ album title.

A Theory About The Video MCR Posted:

·      Of course, if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m obsessed with who this mouse person is… Is it Gerard? Is it Lyn-z? Who is it?…

·      But I’ve realized something… The adam apple - it’s not very visible. The way the person walks… Too “feminine”. But the figure - “masculine”.

·      And, most importantly, the legs…

·      They’re long.

·      Only one person can fit the bill at this point…

o      Jimmy Urine.

CONFIRMED MCR ALBUM TITLE:

·      It's been nearly three years in the making, and during that time, it's been called a "no-concept" record, a down-and-dirty punk album, a "love letter to rock and roll" and, most recently, a fast-and-loose celebration of the Jersey Shore and "that era when heavy metal was yet to become hair rock."

·      But now we actually know what to call My Chemical Romance's fourth album: Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

·      That's according to MCR's label, Reprise Records, which confirmed the title to MTV News on Friday afternoon (September 17), putting to end a day of solid speculation that started when U.K. retailer HMV accidentally listed the album title and a tentative release date on its website (a posting that has since been corrected).

·      Reprise would not confirm whether Danger Days will be hitting stores November 22 — or the 23rd here in the U.S. — as the HMV site states, nor would Reprise confirm the title of the first single from the album. Several sites have reported that it will be called "Bulletproof Heart" and would head to radio September 28.

·      In recent days, MCR seem to have begun ramping up the promotion for, well, something, posting artwork supposedly intended to be the album cover — and a mysterious "Transmissions" page — on their website.

·      Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is the follow-up to My Chem's ultra-ambitious 2006 effort The Black Parade and will re-team the band with producer Rob Cavallo (who helmed the sessions for Parade too), according to Reprise. Initially, My Chem were working with producer Brendan O'Brien on the new album, but it's not clear whether any of those earlier songs will end up on Danger Days, and Reprise did not respond to MTV News' request for comment on that matter.

Other:

·      Four years after releasing The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance will finally return this fall with a new album titled Danger Days: the True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. The album will be helmed by Parade producer Rob Cavallo and while a release date is still up in the air, U.K. music retailer HMV posted posted a November 22 release date on its site. (That date would probably move to Tuesday, November 23 in the U.S. — the conventional release date in the States.)

·      In the meantime, My Chemical Romance have released a Quentin Tarantino-style action clip titled “Art Is the Weapon,” which features a blazing new pop-punk anthem. In the clip, Way and the band cruise around in a desert in a hot rod, pop into a diner to scarf down jars of beans and have a Western-style showdown with a masked gang. Check it out below.

·      My Chem’s new album has been long in the works. Back in December ‘09, singer Gerard Way talked toSPIN about the band’s plans for the record, although the band hit a rough spot in March when they announced that drummer Bob Bryar had left the group.

Dr. Death Defying’s Speech in the video:

·      “Look alive sunshine. 109 in the sky, but the pigs won’t quit! You’re here with me, Dr. Death Defying. I’ll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicopter. Pumpin’ out the slaughtermatic sounds to keep you live! A system failure for the masses, antimatter for the master plan! Louder than God’s revolver and twice as shiny. This one’s for all you rock and rollers, all you crash queens and motor babies. Listen up! The future is bulletproof! The aftermath is secondary. It’s time to do it now, and do it loud. Killjoys, make some noise!”

UPDATES AS PROMISED!!!

Kind Of Out Of Order, So Just Bear With Me.

Twitter:

·      Possible Team Stuff

o      Dr. Death Defying and Party Poison are at least contacts. Party Poison is possibly on the Doctor’s side.

o      Party Poison is a young person, maybe in the teens. Something about the way they write…

o      Agent Cherri doesn’t seem to like Party Poison very much.

o      Question: Does the phrase “party poison” crop up anywhere else? Is it a known slang term for something? Is there a song, story, something that might remotely connect back to this narrative? Right now, all I can think of are club drugs, like ecstasy…

o      Party Poison is possibly a robot, or at least a cyborg. Their first tweet might’ve been similar to Agent Cherri’s first tweet, if you believe in the theory brought up in this post. Perhaps they were coming “online” for the firs time as a cyborg.

o      Party Poison is a hired assassin, and that’s why Agent Cherri isn’t happy. Competition!

·      Gerard’s Tweet

o      Gerard appears to have officially confirmed that they won’t be performing/appearing at the VMAs this year. (http://twitter.com/gerardway/statuses/24304570316)

o      Check out his background.

o      Don’t ever change, G-Fett. (I didn’t make that up. That’s the actual name of the photo file when I found it! That’s how nerdy this picture is and I love it.) What’re the chances he totally geeked out like a teenage girl when he saw the display? Can someone do a comic of that? We need more amusement.

o      There was also a new tweet from him saying “collect me all”, which is more than likely in reference to this amazingly redorkulous picture. Yeah. Already got that covered, G-Fett!

o      (Although, let’s face it; if I saw a display like that, I’d want to get a picture in front of it, too.)

·      PartyPoison

o      That VMA tweet one is from today, which came just before this tweet that first confirms that MCR won’t be at the VMAs, a screen-grab of which I posted here.

·      What in the royal fuck is going on here? Someone brought this up earlier:

o      I find it very suspicious that @DrDeathDefying is following @PartyPoison. Are they on the same team? Hmm… 0_0 (Source)

o       

·      This Tweet:

o      Here are some clues for the VMA: robots, explosions, broken windows, brick walls... and a costume made of live animals. (http://twitter.com/MCRmyWORLDWIDE/statuses/24315673523)

PartyPoison:

·      A Thought From Someone

o      I ran a quick Google and Urban Dictionary search for Party Poison but it returned nothing. I am currently somewhere between the idea that s/he's at least PARTLY robotic, or indeed a teenager. I see that vibe. Like a hyperactive fourteen-year-old who's been told "knock yourself out"  If the android/cyborg theory is to be believed then I'm willing to guess that maybe his/her systems didn't start up correctly? Like there's a fault in the wiring.  Also, on the subject of partially robotic humans, I'm leaning towards the idea of Agent Cherri being one. What if s/he was in control of his/her robotic elements, but as s/he's beginning to succumb to hunger and exhaustion the android within is starting to take over. Like some kind of autopilot.

Something to ponder, someone on tumblr posted this.

·      My Chem’ aren’t performing at the VMAs. Jesus, i was almost certain that they were gonna release info this weekend.

·      But this confirmation confirms something: these people knew that we were hyping about the VMAs. They knew that. Which means they must be aware of our reactions to the transmissions, Twitter updates and general theories.

·      It’s not just us watching them. It’s them watching us as well.

Someone posted this for PartyPoison:

·      I think @PartyPoison is a child.

·      They type in chatspeak and don’t really understand what’s happening.

MCR Website:

·      WKIL:

o      Static, Gerard singing (because we love again), now the National Antem, drum beats, stadium crowd voices… hmm?

A Thought From Someone:

·      There is no station of which I am aware that plays the Star Spangled Banner here at night. When shows are off-air, we get infomercials. It’s ver advertising-oriented. Someone is always out to make money, even when no one is watching nor cares. MCR does love Japanese culture. Perhaps they're getting at something with the off-air National Anthem thing: a stab at what society has become.  At the end of the world, there's nothing anyone wants to buy. I think Tommy Chow Mein is a great example of that. He’s advertising to an uninterested crowd. As NewsAGoGo said, they’re not even sure why he’s there. Afterall, who is worried about money or possessions when the world is in ruins and people are getting “ghosted.”

Here someone got in contact with a S//C member:

·      http://girlautomatic.tumblr.com/post/1105229673/exclusive-exclusive-info-on-recent-mcr-activity-s-c

Okay. So. Here’s What We Know:

·      There is a new Twitter account: @partypoison

·      We know it’s legit because News A Go Go tweeted about it.

·      Ricky Martin’s “La Vida Loca” just started playing in my headphones. The Spanglish version. I haven’t heard it in ages. This has nothing to do with the weirdness going on; I just felt the need to state this.

·      Agent Cherri isn’t very active tonight, but there’s one new tweet, and it’s…interesting.

·      We now have a context in which Mystery X’s post makes more sense. But I’m gonna touch on that more tomorrow.

·      Tommy Chow Mein has also been rather active today.

Agent Cherri:
It’s reading more and more like Agent Cherri is at least partially robotic. And also full of sexual tension. I’m also gonna need to find time to update that damn glossary… But it calls to mind something Lily posted in the comments very early in the day:

·      I thought of something. I’m not sure on some parts of it since I was never good with Chemistry, but…
Maybe Agent-i is powered by sun light (with would indicate s/he is either a robot or some kind of cyborg). S/he states that s/he “was at full power” and that after a long night s/he “almost didn’t wake up.” (http://twitter.com/AgentCherriCola/status/22995158806) (http://twitter.com/AgentCherriCola/status/23081443984)
Also, s/he says that s/he was “beginning to taste like acid.” (http://twitter.com/AgentCherriCola/status/23955495900)

·      Now, I’m more inclined to believe in the cyborg thing, because of the “dust mouth” comment (http://twitter.com/AgentCherriCola/status/23102231112), since I don’t think pure robotic creatures would be thirsty or consider drinking water (s/he says that “clean water is so 2015,” not that they didn’t have anything for her/him).

·      If s/he is powered by sun light, after too much time without it, s/he might not wake up.

·      And don’t batteries use acid? If you overcharge them, shit happens. So maybe that’s why, after the sun being on her/his head for days, s/he started tasting like acid. (another thing on the cyborg theory - would robots be able to taste anything?)

·      ETA: ALSO! Maybe the first tweet (http://twitter.com/AgentCherriCola/status/22948302845) is about the transition betweet purely human to part robot. (Source)

WKIL + Dr. Death Defying:
The postulation was raised that maybe the WKIL channel might actually belong to Dr. Death Defying. I’m not too sure how I feel about it yet. Might be, might not be. I was following my feed and it sounded like Katie was getting onto something about the audio there, but we’ll see what she says tomorrow.

·      There’s also this nagging feeling in my brain that want’s to say each channel represents one of the Twitter accounts, but that theory is not yet fully formed in my brain.

·      Also, someone had this to say about Dr. Death Defying:

o      I think the good Doctor is going to cure the global takeover. …Not very catchy or witty, but I’m just thinking with everything that’s been brought up, that the world has been changed, possibly through a deliberate act. The news is there to keep everyone satisfied, and to weed out the “bad seeds” such as DDD who are set to bring the world back to normal. I don’t know if that made sense. But that’s just what’s been running through my mind the most for the past few days. (Source)

·      And I just remembered that I have this comment from someone in my notes:

o      someone said that hidden songs and beats on the WKIL channel were being “blocked” by the static. so it would make sense if that was Dr D’s channel and his trying to tell us something or share something with us but someone (maybe the News…) is not letting him. (Source)

PoisonParty:
There’s still not enough for me to begin tossing out serious theory ideas, but we already know that this person appears to be at least referentially familiar with Japanese culture. Maya also tweeted this to me on Twitter:

·      @BlissfulMadness didn’t find any 575 station [am or fm] only found a 576 asian station [“Okami-san grab the H-bomb” ?] (source)

·      Maybe 575 Station isn’t a radio station. What else it could refer too, I’m not sure at the moment.

Other Stuff:

·      I found this while skimming a blog on deviantART this afternoon. I don’t have anything to really say about them, but they jumped out at me enough to pass along. Perhaps it’ll spark some ideas.

o      The urgent tweet with the numbers, 201 is also the area code for a county in NJ very close to where they lived. Their Hoboken concert on the BPID cd took place in that county. *Pink Boas!* Hah, thinking about this too much. (Know this cause I live very close to 201) (Source)

o      Different comment from the same blog entry:

·      I’m fairly certain Dr. Death Defying is in a desert in California, Victor Valley, Apple Valley, Lucerne Valley etc. area, since he is very clearly standing beside a Joshua tree and the southwest is the only place they can grow, and MCR is supposedly in LA. (Source)

I was sent a link to this entry on someones blog by way of a response on DA, about Channel 9:

·      WELL BASICALLY. AgentcherrYcola aka agent with the tiny hat (ie, the starter of the currently-used chat) kept saying he was on channel 9 and we were all REACTers. So we found out that people on ch9 help each other in times of emergency so we concluded that the whole point of everything was that we needed to save ourselves. Hence the all for one. And people think they did all of that to reunite the mcrmy. We are channel nine. (Source)

Who is watching who?

·      I’m really starting to think that they’re following us. And not in the silly haha way, but I mean seriously, I think they’re looking to see what we know. Almost half the things I said yesterday were disproven by today. Half the time you’re writing transmissions something happens right then and there. THEY KNOW.

·      To add to that, a lot of my speculation was shot down, but at the same time the truth of those speculations is now clear. I’m now highly convinced Agent Cherri is out to kill the Dr. and in that idea, I know don’t believe they were ever together, but that Agent-I was chasing him, close enough that their messages made it seem like they were in the same place. Then notice how she always gave the names of the places she’d been? If she was with the Dr., he wouldn’t have let her do that. Maybe the names were for the News to know where they’d been and track down the Dr.  If Agent-I really is the little girl from the casting call, then it’d make sense why even if he did suspect she was following him, he wouldn’t see her as a threat.

·      Were the “white suits” the Dr. was talking about seeing before NewsAGoGo? Or maybe the “Agents” the News sent out that he “dusted” later. 

·      Also, Agent-I said “he aint gonna dance with no one else tonight” so does that mean more is going to happen tonight??? (course, by the time you read this we’ll already know the answer.

Theory:

·      Okay while at work goofing off it suddenly hit me, I wonder if these horse songs are going to be like the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse since there are rumors that that is the theme of the CD. I really have no idea what else horses could mean. I also where they are finding these horse songs anyway.  Thoughts?

The Transmissions:
If you haven’t been to the Transmissions page of the website yet, be prepared for a little bit of a shock. Below is a breakdown of the changes that have occurred:

·      RFDD: No change.

·      BLND: No change.

·      WKIL: Clear drumming that fought with some static. {Static} (Represents major static shifts.) Techno-y sounding music, like a guitar synth, and muffled-sounding voice. {Static} Cuts to a guitar melody and Gerard singing. (I’ll get to the lyrics in a minute.) Small burst of static. MCR song continues. Small burst of static. MCR song continues, but less intelligible; it’s almost like it’s being…suppressed? {Static} Silence. {Static} The Star Spangled Banner, which is the clearest and longest piece of music now heard on the channel despite fighting small bursts of static. It drops into silence just before the song ends. Then again with the drumming, which is the second-clearest piece of music…

·      KLSK: America’s “Hose with no Name” is no longer playing. Instead, it’s “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus.

·      HRBT: No change.

According to a tweet, these are the lyrics on the WKIL channel:

·      “Because we all get…” // “Because we’re home again…” // Because..

What I’ve gathered from all of this MCR stuff recently:

·      All of this takes place in the future, past 2017

·      Clearly Dr Death Defying isn’t necessarily ”friends” with the other characters seeing as he isn’t following any of them on Twitter and he hasn’t mentioned any of them.

·      Agent Cherri Cola works for News A Go Go

·      Dr Death Defying seems as if he is involved in some sort of.. biker gang or something along those lines, hence the jacket

·      Cherri tweeted something earlier about being held up by a few former Sledge Hogs etc, it seems as though there are some kind of gangs around the Zones.

·      News A Go Go just tweeted about urgent news and posted a picture of a guy, in the middle of a desert, wearing a leather jacket exactly like Dr Death Defying’s picture on Twitter. I want to say that they are trying to capture him maybe? Because he proceeds to tell the agents to go (like after him or something).

·      As far as Tommy Chow Mein, I honestly have no idea. He just seems like some sort of real estate broker to me.

Someones Theory:

·      Maybe these clues have nothing to do with a new album? We are all so desperate for a new album that immediately after a bit of activity from MCR we jump to the conclusion it’s about their new album. We know that their album is finished (possibly out on the 8th Nov but still no officialness) and that Gerard said he wanted to release it in a special way but maybe this is all a ploy. Maybe these clues are the basis of a new comic book? The twitter accounts are characters? They have nothing to do with the album?

·      Apparently they aimed to make an album without a theme/concept in mind so it would make sense if this had nothing to do with the album although it is possible that a concept manifested as the album was being made. It seems to me that the ‘special’ way they wanted to begin sharing the album with us is to make us run around like headless chickens over nothing, merely for the fun of it.

·      The transmissions are a funny one though. Maybe they do play a part in the album or maybe they don’t? Another tool to fuck us about with perhaps.

·      It’s a big puzzley mess but honestly the twitters and tweets paint the characters too well to give them up to audio and metaphors rather than ink and plots.

·      We shall just have to wait and see.

I’m sure there are more things, and I will post another one when I feel better. Sorry that this is so short. More will be coming, possibly tomorrow or Tuesday.
