Pirates are Cool.

Captured bits of life... Pirates at no extra cost. Arrrg. Also cool: Zombies, Aliens, Ninjas, Dinosaurs, Vikings, the Noble River Horse, the Sinister Octopi, Robots and Kittens.

My mind scratches for the answers

Yesterday, I went to the mall with the express purpose of getting the new Coheed and Cambria album. I had to get it the first day it was out, since I'm a big dork. The interesting thing about this album is how it fits into the Coheed and Cambria story line. Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, volume one: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness is a very particular album, because its an external narrative of the narrative. A fictional storyline about the person who is writing the fictional storyline. The really fucked up part is this: the Coheed and Cambria story affects the life of the writer as the writer's life affects the Coheed and Cambria story. So, in some inseprable way, you can't get the whole story without this external narrative. And the story of this narrative, as near as I can interpret it is nearly as messed up as that of the original Coheed and Cambria story. It involves two former lovers who are having problems because one wrote the other into the story. Its crazy awesome. What does it all mean?
