...DUDE. I just realized I haven't really posted about bandom for like TWO WEEKS. Hah, no, this does NOT mean my obsession has abated at all. I'm just...slowing down on New Exciting Things I need to share? Or something. At the very least, I'm getting over how ~amazed~ I am at how amazing everything about bandom is. (For example, the fact that Gerard Way gives me all the feelings is not news. And everything I read about him, whether him the actual person or him the fictional character, just gives me further feelings. But I'm mostly not actually surprised by this anymore. (mostly.))

So have some bandom Things!

Thing One: Today I discovered that since having read this excellent fic about Panic's song Nine in the Afternoon, the song is no longer a cheerful song for me. Huh. Apparently it was a very convincing fic!

Thing Two: The other day I successfully recognized a Cobra Starship song on the radio! I was very proud of myself. Operation: Learn Popular Music is at least partially successful!

Thing Three: So now I like at least one Gym Class Heroes song, as I continue to spread my acquisitive gaze further and further across bandom. I'm not a fan of all their stuff, though. I listened to Stereo Hearts and was like DUDE UNEXPECTEDLY AWESOME, and then I listened to Cupid's Chokehold and was like, I guess that's okay, and then the next two songs I tried were both songs where I did not appreciate the portrayal of women. So I gave up. But I actually and genuinely love Stereo Hearts. And this is not a genre of music that I ever thought I would enjoy! So that's kind of mindblowing.

Thing Four: Have some bandom recs! Because I like to share the love! (and yes, the fic I mentioned in Thing One is also a rec. You should read it too!)

Timê, by

airgiodslv. William/Gabe. AU, historical, set during five different time periods. In which William and Gabe have a long-standing musical competition, and everything about it is amazing zomg.

O Canada, by

emilyenrose. Patrick/Fraser. Due South crossover. In which Pete finds Canada in Chicago, and I die laughing. (alas, this one is very short. I dearly wish I could read the whole story of what would happen after this!)

Don't Fear the Reaper, by

dancinbutterfly. Gerard/Frank, but mostly about Gerard. In which Gerard meets Death, and this fic is just a world of lovely.

Making Other Plans, by

skoosiepants. Mike Carden/Kevin Jonas. Disney RPF crossover. In which Kevin quits showbiz, gets a divorce, goes to college, starts a band, and gets adopted by crazy people, and I can't stop grinning for the awesome.
