Not one-hundred-percent sure about this, but when I first met you, Richard Edward McGillicutty Samuelson Davis Cummings the Fifteenth, it seemed to me that you had nothing to do with Christian-related (read: post-contemporary) music. Hasn't all that changed? Underoath, Norma Jean, Showbread, and most importantly mewithoutYou -- they've all grown on you. It's all sudden for me, as it seems like I've had my first semi-conversion. No, I haven't quite exposed to you what, for say, indie precisely is; nonetheless, I feel proud. Amanda should too: She's introduced you to other hardcore bands that have much more positive messages than -- oh, I dunno... -- Green Day (bear with me, okay?). Props, girl.
You have a long ways to go, my comrade. But in the end -- when you just cannot get enough of Neutral Milk Hotel, Danielson, Five Iron Frenzy, Joy Electric, sf59, and the like, and begin referring MCR and Thursday as "wannabe/never-will-be" -- this mission will be accomplished.
Plus, we could have our own inside jokes, just like Strong Bad and The Cheat (e.g. jumbo/LARGE).

WHOA YEA!!!! WOOO!!!! *CLAPS* *WHISTLES*
Um, for the record, I don't think I will ever give up on Thursday or MCR or any of those bands that you consider "wannabes." I love those bands as much as you love FIF and Neutral Milk Hotel and etc. However, I do appreciate the fact that you have introduced me to such bands as P86 and mwY and so forth. And though I may have introduced you to only a few bands, such as, maybe Thrice, I hope that I can also introduce you to other acts as well, that you may not "appreciate" just yet.
Oh, and to name ALL the Christian bands that have grown on me since I met Matt and Amanda:
-Anberlin*
-Classic Crime*
-Dead Poetic*
-Destroy the Runner**
-Emery*
-Far-Less*
-FM Static*
-Haste the Day**
-mewithoutYou*
-Norma Jean**
-Showbread**
-Spoken*
-Starflyer 59*
-Terminal**
-Underoath**
*represents bands Matt has introduced me to.
**represents bands Amanda has introduced me to.
WEEEEE!!!!!!!! I feel useful! I still have a CD case full of good almost all Christian CDs, so if you ever need something new just gimme a holler! But a lot of it is, hardcore, and you may not like it. Soooo, bye bye.
Oh, oh, oh! Um, I still have your Norma Jean CD, but what CDs do you have? Hehe, sorry.
*sigh* I need to make ANOTHER new post...but I got nothing, mainly 'cause I haven't listened to any new music in a while, with the exception of The Black Parade. Oh yeah! I got the new Killers' CD, Sam's Town, but I already posted on that...dang it.
Oh, and I have one more thing to tell you, Sir Matthew: If MCR and Thursday and etc. are "wannabes/never-will-be's," then how come they're so successful? Even though this horrible mainstream music world we live in today may be dominated by "posers/wannabes"(Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, etc.), that does NOT mean that Thursday and MCR are one of them. First of all, Thursday aren't even all that mainstream; rather, all though they are becoming a little more popular then they used to be, the aren't nearly as famous as Fall Out boy and the like. Second of all: YOU'RE the one who wrote in my review of the Thursday CD "With all the masquerading around playing pop-"punk", it seems real emo has been tossed to the wayside...thankfully Thursday has laid some groundwork for future emo releases to come." Ok, I think I'm done for now...
And when I said with all the masquerading around, I forgot the word 'bands'. With all the BANDS masquerading...yeah.
Too bad no one's gonna read those comments...
