Hey, guys. The band finally put up the official video, so I thought I'd share the love here. See, I, like a good little street-teamer, refuse to link or leak until the band does so. Here you go: "Desolation Row" - My Chemical Romance, from the upcoming Watchmen soundtrack. My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row I love that "Pale Horse," the band from the actual novel, is listed below MCR on the marquee. My favorite part of the video is when Gerard gets arrested. Ha-ha!

In honor of Bob Dylan's epic song that was covered by MCR for the end-credits of Watchmen , this week's lyrics definitely had to be "Desolation Row". The MCR version of this song is far from the original, and very scaled down with less than half of these original lyrics, but these are great words, so -for those of you who only know the MCR version of this song- take a look at some of the great lyrics that were left out. Desolation Row Bob Dylan They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row Cinderella, she seems so easy "It takes one to know one," she smiles And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davi...

The track is now available for download when you go to My Chemical Romance's website . There you will be immediately re-directed to iTunes. Or-- just click the button below. XoXo c.

Look what Cassie just got in the mail: Side A: Side B: That, my droogies, is my limited edition Watchmen vinyl that came three days early and which you can still order here ! Now that you've seen it, you know you want it, right? This happy occasion brings me to something I feel everyone should know. Lean in, a little closer-- okay. If you pre-order, there's a chance you'll get things early. Shocking, right? Every time I have pre-ordered a My Chemical Romance CD/ anything it has gotten to me at least a day before the release date, which is always a joyous moment just as my moment with my Watchmen vinyl was. So, pre-order often and live a happier life. I'm off to try to find a record player somewhere on campus. XoXo c.

Beautiful, isn't it? That 12", my friends, is what I just pre-ordered from the My Chemical Romance online store for a mere $11.99 ($16.52 with shipping). That price is a true bargain for the following reasons: °There will only be 3,000 copies of this special edition vinyl. °It comes with artwork from the film. °Epicosity factor = 4,000,000,000 The 12" picture disk has two sides and two tracks. Side A is My Chemical Romance's cover of "Desolation Row" while Side B contains the track "Prison Fight" another from the score of the movie. You honestly can't pass this one up, can you? Pre-order Here! If you don't want to pre-order, you can also wait until January 27th, when the vinyl will be released, but why would you do that when it's on sale now? Do as I say and as I do, readers. XoXo c.

"Gerard and the boys were very cool. This was my first time meeting and working with MCR. I had a blast!" -Joy When Joy Villa of Los Angeles (pictured right with Gerard Way) posted a casting call notification she had received in mid-December on her Myspace blog, a few My Chemical Romance fans got a chance of their lifetimes! A video was being shot for a new My Chem video in support of the upcoming movie release of The Watchmen , and punk-rocker extras were needed! "Two of my new friends came down from up north just to come to the video shoot," Villa, an aspiring model, actress, and singer said. The two friends to whom she is referring came all the way from Washington and Canada, showing just how dedicated MCR fans are, and I'm sure there were others who traveled even farther for the opportunity. Had I known about it, I would have drug myself from Ohio without hesitation. The extras auditioning for the part were to dress in period-correct '80s punk garb, lo...
