The problem with carbon copys is that they're never quite as sharp as the original. I Am Ghost emulates AFI and My Chemical Romance (even Mars Volta maybe) just a bit too much for any praise. That bieng said, as far as Goth/Mall Rock goes, it's likeable and not as bad as Green Day wearing mascara.
What about this Willie Nelson guy and his homosexual cowboy venture? Anyone heard it? I just saw the headline in the elevator of my office and thought the news must be a little light today.
If I have a regret in life it may be not going to see Sublime with you guys back in the day. I'm such a dumbass.
Oh yeah, I guess in my quest to find something similiar to AFI, since they never seem to do much anymore, has come up with more misses than anything. It was almost shocking to find something decent (to me)
If AFI is the original then My Chemical Romance is the yellow carbon copy and I Am Ghost is the pink. Although the argument has a fallacy which Brad pointed out: AFI is not the original. Regardless, I'm sure the next time I'm in Hot Topic (which is hopefully never) there is sure to be a mascara wearing 16 year old blasting I Am Ghost from his iPod. (Honestly they aren't that bad I just like to rip on Mall Rock.)
As for Willie Nelson I think that fits into the larger picture of cable news gay cowboy story du jour. I heard the song on CNN and thought it was kinda funny actually.

Hey to get props from you, the guy who has probably everything I may already own or will own is freaking sweet!
Any thoughts on I am Ghost? I think that was my find of the month.
