However, I will give you the most recent version of the files as I have them. I am constantly on the lookout for new music by MCR, and when I find it, I add it to the list of things I can give you.
I will also not reupload for you if you meet the following criteria:
- If you do not have an LJ.
- If your LJ is ONE DAY OLD, seriously, people.
- If you request all the albums. If you're into MCR, you should have at least a couple of the albums, for god's sake.
- If anything about your request makes me think that you are looking for music just to have it - ie, you're not actually particularly interested in this band.
I'm not doing this because I have a particular opinion on file sharing, royalties, and the rest of the free music kerfuffle, I'm doing it because I care about this band a lot, and I have no interest in depriving them of the proceeds from the sales of their albums.
In case that was TL; DR for you (in which case, I'm not going to give you the music anyway) I will not give you the released albums. Don't ask.
For
Warnings: The Covers and Other Oddities file is HUGE. There's an hour and a half long file of The Black Parade show in London that's 76MB in size; everything else in that folder is under eight, individually. I use, as always, sendspace. MOST files are .mp3; some are .m4a and at least one is .m4p. The files are compressed with Stuffit, or .sitx, which SHOULD be openable by any (reasonable) expander. The files should be valid for a week; if not, let me know.
Much grazie and hearts to

Dreams of Stabbing And/Or Being Stabbed (The Attic Demos)
These are the demos that went on to become Bullets; I don't have all of them.
- Turnstiles
- Bring More Knives (became Our Lady Of Sorrows)
- Cubicles
- Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
MISSING: Wish You Away (Drowning Lessons demo) and Stabbing (Vampires Will Never Hurt You demo). Those are tracks four and five. Which, of course, means that these are tracks 1-3 and 6.
Like Phantoms, Forever (EP)
This was a concert sampler (I've heard different variations on what it was for, how many were released, and where it comes from). I've only included Jack The Ripper, as the other two are from Bullets, but I've provided the track listing because I CAN. Jack The Ripper is in the Covers and Other Oddities folder.

Live At KROQ Weenie Roast 05/21/05
Live versions, but notable for their stage chatter. Gerard sounds really like it was not a good show, audience-wise, but he's trying. Some very funny bits of chatter. One of these tracks (I don't remember which) is the one that appears on Murder Scene, but the rest are different

Pencey Prep, Heartbreak in Stereo
This is Frank Iero's former band, the one that started MCR, in many ways. Can I just ask how it is not possible to love a band that writes a song called Lloyd Dobbler? It is, in fact, not possible to not love that band. Frank is the cutest midget in the world.
