My Chemical Romance: Watchmen/Desolation Row
Reprise Records; out January 12th
Sporting a video directed by Watchmen helmer Zach Snyder, Watchmen/Desolation Row is a cracking, raw-edged double A-side from Emo gods MCR.
The five-piece’s rendition of Dylan’s Desolation Row leans more toward a re-working than an out-and-out cover, slotting neatly into the forthcoming comic book movie’s soundtrack of 60s and 70s material.
MCR frontman Gerard Way, no stranger to comic books himself as he currently writes a strange superhero title called the Umbrella Academy, says Watchmen/Desolation Row is a road test for the band’s new stripped-down punk sound.
They promise to unveil more of this new style later in the year.
This is backed up by the fact they’re currently in the studio recording a new non-concept LP, designed to counteract their ambitious and smash hit Black Parade album from 2006.
I like to watch Grey’s Anatomy. Its a guilty pleasure. My wife got me into watching it, and we have both watch it slowly devolve into the mess of a show it is today. One of our favorite characters on the show, Denny is played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who also happens to be in the Watchmen movie.
At another completely different place and time, me and the wife were at the movies, and we saw a trailer for Vicky, Christina, Barcelona. And we said “Holy Shit!, that’s Denny!” I looked it up on IMDB, to find out it was actually Javier Bardem, the crazy creepy killer in No Country For Old Men. After further review, I’m convinced that these guys are twins who were at some point separated at birth. Photo evidence to follow…
