I've been making a playlist of the Conventional Weapons songs as we get them, and then listening to just those on repeat, for stretches while I'm in the car, and if I'm doing dishes or something, and it's definitely made me appreciate Ambulance and Gun. more than I did, and while it hasn't made me really appreciate where they would fit in with Boy Division and Tomorrow's Money on an album, I can see more now how they grew out of the same place. And then Gerard linked us to Zero Zero, and, more because it would make it easier to find in my iTunes than anything else, I added it to the CW playlist. And, totally unexpectedly, I feel like it ties Number One and Number Two together somehow.

Like really totally unexpectedly. I've been trying for the last twenty minutes to put my finger on even one way why so that I could make this post and sound even a little bit articulate, and then I decided to just start writing and see where that took me, but I still have nothing. Which is a problem for me being a music fandoms, really--my whole life, pretty much all I've had to say about music was either, "I like that," or "I don't like that," with the occasional foray into "that might grow on me."

So idk. Do you think I'm crazy? do you agree? as my us history teacher used to say, comments? criticisms? witticisms? Or any other thoughts on these boys in this band?

hi hi hi! omg. I was thinking about you SO MUCH while I was listening to Kevin Smith interview Gerard and Mikey the other day, and talking about Jersey and family and hanging out and just stuff and yeah. While I was going to sleep that night I got thinking about writing my crazy brat pack rps and your help with it, and I got all nostalgic.

all of which is to say, I like your brain so very much, too, and I think you're great <3333

also also, holy fuck icon. unnnnnnngh

YES YES YES. like, Gun is - hilarious. It makes me crack up. it's a ridiculous song that I actually enjoy listening to. But AMBULANCE. IDEK. it has been growing on me until it's the song from the four released tracks that I listen to most. I find it interesting - the vocals, the pacing, the lyrics - IDEK. but I LOVE it and I cannot get enough of it.

Gun. is totally hilarious. and actually maybe that's where I feel like Zero comes in. It sort of encapsulates all the ways that each of the songs are utterly ridiculous and puts it all into one place and has less of the tempering of un-ridiculousness that the other tracks have. It is the track I love the most, I think. Possibly because I am also ridiculous. I don't know though. Mostly I am just SO GLAD that we get to have these tracks at all :D
