hey, got a minute? you're in a rush? don't worry it's just a quick question. I was just—it's probably nothing but, I was lookign at your last.fm scrobbling history from april 11th 2012 and I noticed—sorry yeah *grabs your backpack handle* just a second more of your time—there's a peculiar irregularity that we found. you had scrobbled, I have it right here, you scrobbled "Welcome to the Black Parade (iTunes Deluxe Edition)" thirty times, on loop, starting at 7:51 pm. now I won't hold listening to a great song on loop against you, my friend. who among us hasn't set a track to loop and forgot about it? I do it all the time, with MCR songs no less—though I'm more of a three cheers for sweet revenge person—but, of course, that's besides the point. you might have already guessed my problem here. by the time you returned your playlist to shuffle and started listening to "special" by "garbage" it was then 10:26 pm. but, that cannot be. because the iTunes Deluxe Edition of Welcome to the Black Parade is 5 minutes and 14 seconds long. for you to have listened to it 30 times, that would've taken you to 10:28 pm. that's a full two minutes of difference. how could this possibly be? oh, I can hear you protest already, that you might've skipped to the next song a little early, maybe skipped to garbage's lovely song "special" before the black parade themselves could fully fade out. but I know your tricks. I was there, in 2012. I had purchased the iTunes Deluxe Edition myself, with an iTunes gift card no less. and I can tell you, you *pitiful,* _lothesome_ poseur, that ID3 data of the iTunes Deluxe Edition includes the words "Deluxe Edition" in the *album* field, not the *title.* you sick son of a bitch. you edited the ID3 tags of the standard edition, didn't you? you're going away for a long time. lock 'em up, boys! and throw away the key!
