I EMBARRASSED MYSELF @ EMO KARAOKE💀… is my next storytime I’ll be telling 🔴LIVE tonight on my YouTube channel while making some new punk apparel. If you ever found my live streams too chill, this one might actually give u FOMO if you skipped out. 6pm PST/9pm EST on my Youtube https://YouTube.com/c/thisisjesspaul
I’m 17 again, screaming into the PA system mic of a dark community center.
Ngl that’s gotta be one of the weirder misreadings of a song I’ve found
Ah yes this guy
Wrote a song about conservative values
The music video for "We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore" is literally Dee Snider defending victims of abusive dads. "We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore" literally has the exact same energy as Pantera's "25 Years," this attitude of "you cruel motherfuckers are not parents and since you're not raising your kids right, we will with the power of rock and roll. Fuck you and your 'traditions.'" Dee Snider testified before Congress in drag defending Rock music from Christian fundamentalists in the midst of Satanic Panic. "Traditional American Values" lmfao
Proof again that middle aged white conservative men will try and appropriate anything they can get their filthy mitts on if no one is paying attention
MCR DEBUTS FIRST SINGLE IN 8 YEARS
Emo kings “My Chemical Romance” release their first track in almost a decade this week called “The Foundation of Decay”. Sounds like their dark roots are as prevalent as ever! This 6 minute sallad (sever-ballad) is reminiscent of epics like “Welcome to the Black Parade” and “I Don’t Love You”: dark, somber and filled with powerful guitars, drum fills and Gerard Way’s “famous last words”.
What do you think? Are you happy to have a new MCR song or is it already old hat (or old Hot Topic wristband)? COMMENT BELOW!
“IT FELT LIKE WE WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE…” JESS PAUL ON “THE BEATLES: GET BACK” (2022)
I’ve trained my whole life to talk to Geeksweat for 30 mins about the mammoth culture icon that is the Beatles. We picked apart the triumphs in the flaws baked into this 8 hour doc that exposed the real demeanors and conversations between John, Paul, George and Ringo at the tail end of their history-making band. What moment of the doc made me drop my jaw? Listen above.
SOTD: “For the Masses” (Live @ City Theater Drive-In Arts Festival Hazelwood) by Meeting of Important People
One day you all will know what this song mean to me. Until then, please blow this band the fuck up!!!!
TRAILER: Foo Fighter’s “Studio 666”
How many reasons can I name to squeal with excitement over this rock & roll, cinematic endeavour: legendary, beloved rock band, kitchy-funny antics, b-level horror gold. It has everything I love, and I might actually venture to the theaters to see this one.
SOTD: “wow” by Alaska Thunderfuck
Please let me be obsessed for a moment.
I was plainly scrolling my YouTube Recommended page when a disparity crossed my vision: what was the famous, beloved drag queen (with roots in…. Pittsburgh!) doing out of costume (or maybe it was a costume) in what seemed by first glance to be an indie rock music video? I’m SO glad I clicked out of curiosity.
I would love to know the story behind the decision from an A-lister queen to tip toe out of the standard, vogue-inducing, runway pop fare to try his hand at an incredibly infection pop-rock track: did he want to prove his mainstream commerciality? Did she want to break from the redundant drag queen paint-by-number career path? Either way, it’s a sin that this video (albeit simple and minimal) has only 100k views on Youtube.
IDK if this was a one-off for Alaska, but damn do I want more. I’ve had “wow” in my head all week and I aint even mad at it.
