So, last night and this at some point today, I was PMing the ever awesome bomb50. We were talking about my new My Chemical Romance CD (I am not emo!) and something came up. After the last track there was a long period of unexplained silence, known as "Track 14". I decided that the whole thing was some kind of iTunes glitch, and dismissed it. While listening to the CD for the second time, Track 14 started playing while I was unaware of it. I figured I'd let iTunes run, so two minutes into the track, a song started playing! I double checked the track listing on the back of the disc, and read it again. It only had thirteen tracks displayed. Could it be MCR pulling a hella cool prank? Well, in the end, I went to Wikipedia to find the name of mysterious Track 14. Turns out it was called "Blood", and next to its name on the article, it said "hidden track". Finding the need to research it more, I discovered that several other bands held a hidden track, whether to avoid controversy, avoid the # 13, or my favorite reason, to just plain scare the hell out of listeners. One of the most well known artists to do this was Weird Al, who's hidden track "Bite me" was ten minutes of silence followed by a sudden outburst of cacophony. After reading about that, I couldn't resist
and wrote a story about it. Its the tale of "Mr. Brown"... No, lets call him "Green". "Black"? Whatever, his name's gonna be Mr. Rainbow.
"Mr. Rainbow has just returned home with a new CD of his favorite artist, Weird Al. He pops in the CD and head bangs to the album that mostly parodies the work of whatever the hell is popular. After its over, he goes to make himself a bowl of instant macaroni and picks up his favorite magazine "CosmoGIRL!" While relaxing and enjoying lovely silence, a sudden burst of cacaphony explodes from his CD player. He was so startled that he spilled macaroni all over Vanessa Hudgen's cover photo and a list of "quick and cute hair tips". Mr. Rainbow also suffered from a severe heart attack. THE END"
Well, what do you guys think? Anyways, if you have anything to say, about your experience with hidden tracks, funny songs, or whatever else, leave a comment, or the ghost of Mr. Rainbow will forever haunt you. Indeed.
I shall now share this video I've found to be totally awesome... You've seen Food Battle 2006... And Food Battle 2007... Now. Smosh presents.... FOOD BATTLE 2008!

New picture. I finally finished it, after roughly two weeks. I bet you're all thinking "Two weeks? For this?" Well guess what? Yes, two weeks. It took a long time to finish all the layers, mmk? I'm pretty much happy with it, but I think my lineart could be better. I'm pretty proud of the fact I got the building in the background though. Go Photoshop!
