Hey, question regarding Secretary, the movie, if you've seen it.

( Spoiler question )

Hey people. You know I don't do this often but this is one of those things where "it's better than doing absolutely nothing." 

Another warning for graphic talk of rape, I'll make a cut for the link so you don't have to read it all if you don't want to. In short, it's an appeal to the Turkish government to try to persuade Gadaffi to free a woman.

Can you rec me some interesting lyrical concept albums?
I listen to most genres of music but I'm not a fan of chillout or rap.

I found a list online - there is a list of everything online - but I don't even know where to start, there's too many, and they're not all lyrically conceptual :) Also I prefer personal recommendations.

(Oh, and I'm looking for something post-Ziggy Stardust :) More recent.)

Here's some newer ones I know about: 
David Gray - White Ladder
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come for Free
My Chemical Romance - Black Parade and Danger Days
Forgive Durden - Razia's Shadow
Blue October - Consent to Treatment
Evelyn Evelyn - Evelyn Evelyn
White Lies - To Lose My Life

This was totally supposed to go to TQC, but whatever, I can leave it here too :)

Last night I dreamt I was in charge of this group of super intelligent kids who always went around and noticed things other people missed or miscalculated or whatever. And I constantly had to talk to people and tell them stuff like "No, really, this five year old managed to calculate what your group of incredibly expensive engineers missed. If you blow it up with that much explosive, we will all die." (Actual situation in my dream.) And then also deal with their personal issues like abandonment (because they were all there without parents and for a long time. I don't know if they were dead or if it was just a boarding school) and physical issues etc. (both also real dream situations.)

( 10ish pics and LOTS of text :) )

So, I'm on expensive internets now and I can't upload the new pic, so we'll have to work with the old one. I was gonna leave it off until monday but this is very relevant and can't wait! [Poll #1676816]

Don't call Brendon names because he named a song after his girlfriend. You can think it's funny or will be a clusterfuck if they break up (seriously, my first thought), but calling him names for it makes you a sucky person. No, I was raised in communism, I don't care about your freedom of speech.
(I didn't see this on my flist but I did in comments and just... no.)

I'm a bit :/ that there's only 10 songs, how entitled am I? But this is them!:

1. The Ballad Of Mona Lisa
2. Let's Kill Tonight
3. Hurricane
4. Memories
5. Trade Mistakes
6. Ready to Go (Get Me Out Of My Mind)
7. Always
8. The Calendar
9. Sarah Smiles
10. Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met…)

Also, also. I see people being all excited about the new album and I want to play too, but I don't know any of them. Would you like to rec me someone I should friend if I want my flist spammed with even more squee and Spencer!worry and overinvestment? :)
