Music Kills - Part 5483753492573249

Ok, this half makes me laugh, half cry. So I must be only half emo right? Anyway, there's some sort of march going on in London by My Chemical Romance fans in retaliation for The Daily Mail calling MCR a "suicide cult".

Now I'm a massive MCR geek, and if The Daily Mail cared to do a little research they'd know that it's kinda the opposite of what MCR are/were going for. (Cue Headfirst for Halos).

Ok, so that's me laughing out of the way, and onto this article.

"They could find only one clue: Hannah was what is known as an "emo". WTF? So apparently instead of using medical terms and getting psychiatrists and psychologists to air their thoughts, they just call her emo and voilà! We just blame her music/hairstyle and clothes!?

Times Online Story about "Making It" in Music

There's an interesting article here about the guy who "discovered" Amy Winehouse. First off, I probably wouldn't be raising my hand claiming that. Especially now that people are refusing to work with her. And eating baked beans and toast for two years? I could handle that. Pity in reality it's more like 5 years and if malnutrition doesn't kill you (clearly Amy spent her share of 2 years on this miraculous diet), the debt collectors will.

But the rest of the article sounds right on. But for a massively huge conglomerate, you'd think they could afford spell check and a proof reader.
