News How I Will Spend My $600 Surplus Check

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Fri, May 9 at 10:06 AM

The best emo is the kind “The Man” pays for. That being said, how could I not drop $60 (a mere 10% of my surplus refund) on the new super-fancy version of the My Chemical Romance live CD+DVD set, The Black Parade is Dead [Live] (out June 24th)?

In addition to all the bedwetting emo dramatics that I live for, the limited-edition version will be packaged in a pinewood coffin (*cough, The Misfits, cough*) and includes death certificates of each member (*cough, Cupid Car Club, cough*), hand-painted “Day of the Dead” masks (let’s just assume Los Straitjackets already did this), plus some downloadable live tracks as well.

Oh, just pry open my wallet and take the money already!

Which Cupid Car Club release had the death certs?

Pretty sure the Cupid Car Club M.P. 4 Song EP had one for each member, or at least a detailed account of how each person offed themselves.

Also, didn't Murder City Devils have death certificates for In Name and Blood? They did for the press materials on the record, not sure if it made the actual CD or not.

I'm sure there are others...

I just checked my copy of the ep - yeah, the back cover has photos of each one with "Name - Dead" and then descriptions of how they killed themselves, plus a little obit. All scrunched up in messy typewriter type.

Unsure about the Murder City Devils.
