Not to pry too much into the bands personal lives, but happy 3rd anniversary Gerard and Lindsey Way. The pair were married three years ago today after the final Projekt Revolution show in Denver, Colorado.

Wendy Rollins, who works at Philadelphia’s Radio 104.4 is continuing to update fans with information on two new My Chemical Romance songs, “Na Na Na” and “Sing”. The tracks were sent out to her radio station for airplay consideration on August 16th. Via her Twitter she has reveled that one of the tracks is a single and that “Na Na Na” is Revenge sounding, whereas “Sing” sounds more Black Parade. Although it’s too early for radio airplay, she assures us that we’re “gonna love these songs”. She estimates that the “New MCR” would be released in less than two weeks. I’m assuming that she’s referring to the songs radio premiere, as it would seem far too soon for a physical single release. Check out her Twitter page for more of that. Thanks to Cassie for searching that out.

This weeks Punknews Podcast was opened with a letter from a My Chemical Romance fan, Holly from Arkansas. The letter was a response to the panelists on last weeks show who were largely negative towards My Chemical Romance.

“I love MCR because their music moves me. It feels like it was written for me, and I’m not alone in this. They pull me through the shit that life dishes out. Everyone has hard stuff in life, it doesn’t mean you’re emo. I want people to know that MCR has fans that believe in their music, fans of all colors and nationalities, and ages. I’m a 36 year old housewife and I couldn’t care less what the guys in MCR look like. Their music is about human feeling and the fear or life, as well as death, and we all have that inside us. I’m excited for their upcoming album simply because it is MCR and I can’t get enough. I don’t mind if you hate them, just understand that they are loved.”

The podcast is available to stream or download now at Punknews.org. The fan letter is discussed between 1:48 – 3:23.

According to an article at Music-Mix.ew.com, a new My Chemical Romance song titled “Na Na Na” is set to feature on The Sims 3 Late Night expansion pack.
The expansion pack is due for release on October 26th in North America and October 30th in Europe. It is available to pre-order now at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Play.com and HMV.com, among other places.

According to staff at a FYE store in the U.S, My Chemical Romance’s fourth album was initially listed for release on September 14th, but has been postponed. However, fellow U.S superstore Best Buy currently have no upcoming album listed. I’m assuming that the September release date would have been for their first attempt, as we know they have since recorded the album again, pushing it to a later release. However, back in July Ray Tweeted a picture hinting at the albums completion. Could the “Time Remaining: 14:09″ have been a hint at the initial 14/09/2010 release date?. Thanks very much to Taylor for researching and sharing that.

Gerard posted a Tweet last night (Thursday 26th), linking to a new picture on TweetPhoto.com. The image shows the phrase “The Aftermath” followed by a section of “Na Na Na…” followed by “Look Alive, Sunshine”. The message posted with the image was “Look alive, sunshine…”. Since the post there has been some speculation between fans as to what it means. The “Na Na Na…” section would appear to be lyrics, although “The Aftermath” or “Look Alive Sunshine” could possibly be the album title. It’s also possible that the image may not be connected with the new album at all. What do you guys think?.

My Chemical Romance’s upcoming album is a topic of discussion in this weeks Punknews Podcast. The discussion is highly negative with the band being slammed by all panelists and the album being largely pre-judged.

“Great dudes, shitty band. They do a lot of great stuff, but they’re just fucking unlistenable”

However, amongst the negativity they do make some valid points. They discuss the bands visual style, stint with James Dewees and the contrast of the rock opera Black Parade fanbase compared to the punkier fans of it’s predecessors. The main point discussed is just how long it took to complete the album, which is surely something we all agree on.

“Put out the damn album, if it’s big and it’s great and it’s different, then maybe it was worth the four years”

Head on over to Punknews.org where to podcast is available to stream or download. The show is over an hour long, the My Chemical Romance discussion takes place around 55:00 – 1:06:34.

Thanks very much to A$h, who dug up some more exclusive information on the audition advertisement in my previous post. The audition ad was originally sent via email by ActorsAccess.com. It was received by an acting friend of A$h’s about the possibility of applying for one of the roles.
There’s not a lot of information available on the website, but the learn more section has some details about the company and what they provide for actors.

“There is no charge to register and establish your account on Actors Access. By doing so, you put your Profile into the Breakdown Services database which is searched by Casting Directors when they are searching the database looking for specific talent. You can optionally receive email notification of the latest roles posted that meet certain criteria in your Profile.”

Basically, members of ActorsAccess.com are sent acting advertisements where the role criteria matches that on their profile. They have an official Facebook and Twitter for those interested, but please don’t bombard them with questions about the ad, I think we know enough about it now. I hope that this is enough information to answer everyone’s questions about it’s legitimacy.

A big thanks to A$h for this exclusive news. The above picture shows a My Chemical Romance audition advertisement sent out to actors. There are two roles, a girl aged 8-10 with an attitude and vulnerability, and a feminine male aged 18-25, with abs, who can roller skate. The two roles are to be used in the album artwork, advertising, promo, publicity, multimedia, digital and on-line, website and merchandise. There is also a possibility that they will appear in a music video. The shoot is currently set to take place on August 30th, but may be rescheduled anytime up until September 3rd. With that in mind, it looks like the album will be released in late October or November sometime.

If you pre-order Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock at Amazon.com you will receive an exclusive custom guitar strap designed by My Chemical Romance. This offer applies to pre-orders only, so make sure to order a copy before the September 28th release date. For those of you that don’t already know, I’m Not Okay (I Promise) is featured in the game.
