I've got my eye on you

My Chemical Romance are not finished with The Black Parade yet. Singer/creator Gerard Way has revealed that the group plans to release two more singles from their groundbreaking album.  A video will be shot for each song, both directed by Gerard.  Although this news is less exciting than if there had been an announcement that a new MCR album is recorded and ready to go, fans should be happy to learn that Mikey Way will rejoin the band for fall touring.

HIM’s new album, Venus Doom, debuted at #12 on the Billboard "Top 200" charts with 38,637 devilish units moved.  The band is offering three versions of the album, starting with the standard CD and ranging in exclusivity to a limited edition package with a plethora of must-haves for dedicated HIM enthusiasts.  The United States is currently preparing for the band's Amercian tour, launching on October 18th at New Jersey's Starland Ballroom. Europe will get HIM back for the end of 2007 and on into early 2008. For a chance to commune in an unholy way with Ville Valo and pals, be at one of the places and times listed below.

Aside from being front man of My Chemical Romance, multifaceted artist Gerard Way is the creative force behind The Umbrella Academy.  Depending on who you talk to, The Umbrella Academy is either a sophisticated comic book or a graphic novel.  Nillamora and xdeadlyxxweaponx have unique views on the merits and joys of Gerard's debut publishing project.  Be warned: Their coverage does include spoilers.  Once you know the story, enroll in mychemfairy132's accredited The Umbrella Academy group.

Despite having carried the burden of a junkie boyfriend for the past few years, waif model Kate Moss continues to embody elegance, style and glamour.  Unless serial stumbler Courtney Love is in the neighborhood.

Looking radiant, Kate arrived at London's Victoria and Albert Museum Wednesday evening to celebrate the Golden Age of Couture.  Moss moved like a vision in her vintage gown.  A two-foot train of satin trailing behind, as though Kate were walking on a golden cloud.

Until Courtney, fresh from a rehab visit with Kate's ex, Pete Doherty, clomped on the hem of Moss's irreplacable dress, ripping a hole in the delicate garment, ruining it forever.

Courtney Love: from trainwreck to train wrecker.

Anyone incapable of waiting until 2009 for the next My Chemical Romance album should mark October 23, 2007, on their calendars.  That's when the new Say Anything long player, In Defense of the Genre, will be released. According to Billboard, MCR's Gerard Way provides his vocal prowess to the record's title track, and he is not the only guest superstar enlisted by Say Anything.  Chris Carrabba from Dashboard Confessional will be heard on the song "Retarded in Love," and Taking Back Sunday's Adam Lazzara pitches in on "Surgically Removing the Tracking Device."  Listen closely, and Hayley Williams from Paramore, Pete Yorn and Saves the Day's Chris Conley can also be detected. So you can hear everyone on Say Anything.

Acclaim has been no stranger to Davey Havok.  The singer and presumed spokesman of AFI has been widely applauded for his musical achievements and widely desired for his charismatic personal physicality, but none of that is why Davey was included in the New York Post's weekend hot list.  Havok received the honor due to a T-shirt. Aside from launching Blaqk Audio, the singer  also oversees a clothing line called Paden. It was a shirt from this endeavor, decorated with a dancing square of tofu, that captured the Post's imagination.  The Post seemed shocked that the pieces weren't all in blaqk.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD will reportedly perform on Spike TV's second annual Scream Awards, which will be taped on October 19 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles and air on Tuesday, October 23.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD recently filmed a video for its new single, "Almost Easy." The track comes off the new CD, which arrives on October 30.

The new record will follow up the band's 2005 breakthrough effort, City of Evil, and marks their first attempt at producing themselves.

Anyone looking for sunshine and butterflies from Venus Doom, the upcoming album by Finnish metal melders HIM, should beware the warnings of singer Ville Valo.  According to LiveDaily, Valo boasts that the new collection is "like a trip into my personal hell... I felt that we needed more punching to the face type of thing."

Does that mean a portable Bam Margera is packaged with every CD?

Although they have yet to produce a major American release, German wunder kids Tokio Hotel are poised to saturate the English-speaking universe with ways to waste time on your phone.  Artificial Life, Inc., a Hong Kong company, has signed Germany's most girly boy band to create phone games in time for the 2007 Christmas rush. 

The games will be available in several languages, English prominent among them.

No word yet on proposed content of the games, but makeup application should certainly be in the mix.
