anyone can do better? She has a cd out? Impressive! But do you have to listen to her cd every time she comes over?

Like so many bands (The Shins, Crash Test), My Chemical Romance didn't really deserve that much attention for their first two records, but the kernels of what was to come were there. Last 2 MCR (3rd and 4th) are the way better ones, The Black Parade and Danger Days. They can make an awful lot of in-tune "noise," both instrumentally and vocally, because they figured how to smash together American punk of the 80's/90's (mostly Califorian) and smash it, crash it, into Queen. By the third album, they've got it all together. The first two records are more punk than Queen, then it became the other way around. I've always love them for their publihsing company name: Blow the Doors Off the Jersey Shore Music Scene, Inc. Bob, agreed. That's a good assessment of MCRs progress. "The Black Parade" hovered near my top 10 list. And "Danger Days" does cowbell--how can you not like it? Also, certainly not in the stunning category, but I find their albums recorded better than most.

That's cool, Sean. Whenever I need a good Rock and Roll fix, you know, the whole smear---pounding drums, screaming guitars, yelled 4-part harmonies, thoughtful and witty lyrics, melodies, chord changes, and plain ol' bombast and excess, they have always been there for me over the past 4 years.
You know those kids in the clique
Those awful names that they pick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
And though you're troubled and hurt
What you've got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did.
You know that teenagers scare the living shit outta me
They never care, as long as somebody bleeds
So you should darken your clothes
And strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me.
L-O-V-E IT!

is tailor made for my car ride through the desert back to California. Perfect to crank up and scream along.

My record from PHX @ I-10 to Santa Monica is 4.25 hours. What's yours? Ha, I think my record for LA to SF is only about an hour more!
I loved listening to my jacked car stereo while careening through the desert on I-10, I-8, or even the secondary highways where the Staties fail to tread.

Yeah, you are moving at a good clip to get that time. I'm usually around the 5 hr mark, but I'm a law-abiding citizen and like to stretch my legs and relieve my bladder in Quartzsite (because, really, what else is there to do in Quartzsite?).

Yup, Bob's faking it. Then again, it wouldn't be THE 10 if he was up in NorCal. It'd just be 10.
Interestingly, I call it the 405 and the other it 580. (The 405 is in SoCal, 580 is in NorCal). I've lived in both. Still haven't gotten used to calling it Route 7 though.
