49. Give em hell kid by MCR

69. Its not a fashion statement, its a fucking deathwish by MCR

99. Lights out by MSI

hiii meg <33

3. What’s a very unpopular band you’re into?

ok. i’m going to assume this means unknown instead of hated lol. i think the most “obsure” band i listen to is probably anopheli, which is this emo crust punk (that’s the label they use idk shit about it) band a friend recommended to me and i really love- their music is really atmospheric and perfect for studying. honorable mention goes to thorr’s hammer which is this doom/death metal band from the 90s i discovered on pandora in the 11th grade- super fun to listen to. Both bands have female vocalists which is pretty fucking cool imo listen to women in extreme genres

5. Which rare recording of any band would you like to possess?

i mean, anything in the world? its an old mcr demo for sure: like phantoms forever or dreams of stabbing and being stabbed or whatever any of them im not picky 🥺

8. Which song do you think everybody should listen to at least once in their lives?

if its not my chemical romance’s whole discography it would be Iron Maiden’s Rhime of the Ancient Mariner.... that song is so fucking good.... plus it's a reimagining of a classic tale, the whole human desire for storytelling and the way music fulfills that thing that I love

10. Any bands you got into after seeing them live?

fun and unfortunate fact, i have only been to one concert it was hozier a whole year ago (it wasn't unfortunate to see him, he was absolutely wonderful but I wish I'd been to more shows 😔).... time isn’t real..... but no i very much was already into hozier’s music lol

11. Any bands your friends got you into?

oh yes, so so many. my gaggle of friends in middle school got me into metalcore, the people i’ve met through my chem got me into sleater-kenny and skating polly and the academy is and so many more, i was in a metal club last semester before the pandemic shut down college and got into so many new bands through that. i scavenge music recs like a pro

19. Which band would you like to see live one day

my chemical romance hopefully 😔 but also i'd love to finally see iron maiden live with my dad, he's always wanted to take me

I will do both, for you meg, bc i trust your music taste 🖤

Space Dementia

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

ohhh this is so fucking cool, really into the instremental and the way it grows and shifts. the vocals really fit the tone too. I'm Really Into This... the ending section....

In Your World

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

i want this song to be a little bigger or heavier since it was short... it kind of exists at a crossroads and i want More. but! i still really enjoyed it, it's a groove for sure!

hii meg, thank u for the ask ❤️ i already did 2 and 8 though!

4. How do you tend to discover new music?

I have a lot of processes for finding new things. mostly though, i make connections! researching one band always gives me at least 3-4 associated acts and you can keep that process going forever! i also love watching video essays on music history and get a lot of recs through the video or even the comments. then i also watch what other people are talking about- friends, random tumblr users, i read/watch music journalism solely for discovering new things. I am familiar with a lot of music I've never listened to because of this but I'm finally making headway, mostly because of the mcr hyperfixation that wants me to listen to the members influences 😔

17. Is there a song that came out this year that you like?

I don't stay too up-to-date with current releases BUT! i still managed to hear some new tunes- I really enjoyed The Used's Blow Me/Cathedral Bell, Midnight's Fucking Speed and Darkness, and Fiona Apple's I Want You to Want Me. also Vile Creature's Glory! Glory! gave me fucking CHILLS that song is incredible.... oh and also all of megan thee stallion's singles this year were great

hewwo meg <333

75: the bureau / gerard way

84: one day robots will cry / cobra starship

hello meg!!! ooh i’ve never heard any of these so im excited :))

Light Asylum:

Do I know them already?: yes | no

First song youtube took me to: A Certain Person

First Impression: very electronic, good voice, the instrumental is good- if a little overwhelming

Do I like it?: hmm i enjoyed it for sure! not sure if its For Me but i can respect it a lot

Would I listen to more from them?: i am definitely intrigued, so yes

Rate (from what I heard): 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

Strange Mercy:

Opinion on cover design: oohh very interesting, not something i would notice from a distance but quietly intriguing

Favorite song: probably surgeon, that guitar part was so sexy

Least favorite song: Champaign year on the first listen was the one i faded out from the most

Underrated track: i don’t know the Consensus but i would guess northern lights is not given the love it deserves bc its amazing

Overrated track: cruel- that seems like the single? and i wasn’t super into it comparative to the others

Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 (overall, loved the guitars and the sound! i wish it had a few Bigger moments but i understand that’s not really what the band’s going for. the combination around surgeon and northern lights was very sexy but i wish the momentum kept up. all in all i enjoyed it!

Dance Yrself Clean:

couldn’t finish it | not my thing | it’s fine | I could get into this | ooo I like | oh hell yeah | fuck this is some good shit | there aren’t even words, this transcends words

i actually used to have to do marching band drill to daft punk is playing in my house so i was Expecting that and was a little confused at first But! after settling in a little bit I have to say i ended up liking it!
