Video: "According To Plan" by I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness

Texan gothic rockers I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness made a really big splash in 2006 when they first appeared (and then promptly disappeared).

ILYBICD...what an acronym that makes. I think it's obvious enough that the love for brooding synths, thick bass lines, and sigh-laden vocals are alive as well. Remember that band, what were they called...The Curious Division? The Joyous Cure? Well, I can't remember now, but I'm sure they'd be proud...
