Fall Out Boy is a scapegoat. They’re the unfortunate subjects of more misdirected anger than perhaps any other band in recent memory, and honestly, they don’t deserve that. They don’t deserve to be almost universally chastised by wannabe alpha males who falsely assume they’re radio friendly, formulaic brand of music is the one roadblock to classic rock’s triumphant return ... read more |

Hey, emo kid, now you can cry tears of joy. Your prince is engaged to a new-age pop princess. For those of you who don’t spend their time painting your nails black and taking edgy, downtrodden Myspace pictures, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are engaged ... read more |

Let it be known that Fall Out Boy is dangling onto their last 5 minutes of fame from a scaffold some 20 stories high, legs hanging above flickering city lights, passing cars and pedestrians. It’s no secret these guys are living out every stereotypical rock cliché they can think of before they disappear off the face of the earth – a day, I think, that cannot come soon enough ... read more |

It’s a sad day for the music industry when the band most fourteen through eighteen year olds would define as the punk band edit out their own swearing, as to not offend anyone’s delicate minds. Nevermind the bollocks, though, bring on childish rantings about ex-girlfriends and parents who just don’t get it ... read more |

You remember Phantom Planet, right? Shutup. Yes, you do. Jason Schwartzman was the drummer, and they sang The O.C. theme song about going to California. That’s what I thought. Well, they’re back with a new album, the first in four years, and it’s largely inspired by the music of Sharon Tate murderer Charles Manson and Jonestown founder Jim Jones. Good call ... read more |

Hey there, faithful Cinema Blend reader. It’s your outspoken and often times tactless music editor here. It’s been a hectic week for both the music industry and myself. I’ve journeyed up North to the Windy City in order to spend Christmastime with my folks; Casey Aldridge’s (1) member also journeyed up North, spitting future illiterate delinquents into Jamie Lynn Spears’ (2) Fallopian tubes. More on that later, though ... read more |

Right. I’m sure you didn’t run around the stage screaming like a little bitch after a few hot embers fell on your skull. Check back with us in a few weeks after God finishes smiting his blasphemous ass. Here’s to hoping he meets the same fate as one of the ex-Spinal Tap drummers: spontaneous combustion ... read more |

You must be so proud of yourself for waking up hungover yesterday morning to post a blog about how angry you are with the “fifty year old white man” who decided, like the rest of us, that your band is not as good as you to think it is. Even though I could barely get through the overuse of commas, complete lack of capitalization and some of the longest run-on sentences I’ve ever read, I would still like to take the time to rip you a new one. ... read more |

I love watching people play through pain. From Willis Reed hobbling out during game 7 of the 1970 NBA finals to Bobby Baun scoring a game 6 overtime winner on a broken leg, sucking it up is a part of life for some athletes. Unfortunately, musicians aren’t always as willing to tough it out. In fact, some have been known to cancel entire tours for horrific ailments like acute anxiety and lingering colds. How pathetic. Pete Wentz isn’t one of those musicians ... read more |
