Another week, another Mercury music section to console yourself with while you put your house back together after renting it out to Prince. Seriously, if I rented my house to Prince and he didn’t install a purple waterfall, I’d be disappointed.
With Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, My Chemical Romance have created a post-apocalyptic rock opera, plus an accompanying line of designer jackets! If you’re gonna survive the end of the world, you might as well look sharp.
LISTEN:
My Chemical Romance – “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)”

LISTEN:
Caitlin Rose – “Shanghai Cigarettes”
The Dodos returned to Portland to record their latest record, No Color. But art doesn’t come easy. The casualties along the way included the band’s vibraphonist, and possibly a few red-and-black caterpillars.
LISTEN:
The Dodos – “Black Night”
End Hits: Never too many “Na’s.”
That’s really the name of My Chemical Bromance’s song? That is a really good song name.
