Notes
Sometimes it's interesting to learn about how I learned to like an album, or in this case, an individual track which normally wouldn't appear anywhere near my play list.

"My Chemical Romance" are a band I know nothing about. I purposely left it that way. I know nothing about their style of music. I seem to remember they were popular when I was about 25. I remember I picked this CD up in pretty good nick shortly after it was released, from the Hartlepool Flea Market. I got it home, picked a track at random, and ended up quite liking "The Black Parade".

Around the same time, ITV held the rights to Formula 1. A hilarious mistake, with awful coverage, and adverts during the live races. It didn't take long for the franchise to fizzle out and go back to the BBC, however, on one of the end-of-season montages, they played "The Black Parade", along with a bemused Lewis Hamilton getting interviewed, followed by the interviewee suddenly turning to the camera and lip-synching that song. Had me in creases. It used to be on Youtube, but it's probably disappeared down the sofa of copyright infringement and/or deleted accounts, and I'll probably never see it again, but it made me like the song even more.

I don't know what it's about. I don't care. It's a jolly tune, and I'll probably never listen to the rest of the album.
