NEW AT DOOM!: 30 Seconds to Mars made a new music video.  I don’t understand it, but I kind of want to.

we are wild, we are like young volcanoes - part 3 of 11, watch here.

Save Rock and Roll out now - download on iTunes

So.

The apple crumble.

What was THAT about?

Fall Out Boy has taken a lot of flack for calling their new album “Save Rock and Roll.”  In fact, the title combined with the actual sound of the album pretty much seems designed to draw comments from angry internet denizens screaming (paraphrasing many an amateur album review here) “THIS SUCKS IT’S NOT SAVING ROCK AND ROLL IT’S NOT EVEN ROCK AND ROLL WHY CAN’T YOU GUYS BE GOOD AGAIN?!?!”

The beauty of the internet is in the sharing of opinions, after all.

But in case anyone missed the tongue-in-cheek quality of the title, no, Fall Out Boy is not here to save rock and roll.  And the message of the album isn’t that rock and roll needs saved.

Instead, it sounds more like rock and roll saved Fall Out Boy.

War paint achieved.

spotted in London.  

Save Rock and Roll is out in the UK and Europe TODAY!  pick up a copy in stores, or download the album on iTunes

p.s. if you missed the Alan Carr performance, watch a repeat tonight at 11:10pm on C4. 

I love the “THEY’RE BACK.” at the bottom.  It’s ominous in a way.

I will have this album in my possession in less than 24 hours and I am still being forced to wait too long, dammit.

That artist and/or group you like will, hopefully, mature musically, experiment with their sound and put out songs that don’t sound exactly like their very first single.  Songs which you may not like.  Deal with it.

And if they don’t mature, hey, I’m not going to judge your taste in music, but.  Um.  Why would you want to keep buying the same album 8 or 9 times?

Point being: it’s closed-minded to deny the theory of musical evolution, ya fucks.

You can’t touch music—it exists only at the moment it is being apprehended—and yet it can profoundly alter how we view the world and our place in it. Music can get us through difficult patches in our lives by changing not only how we feel about ourselves, but also how we feel about everything outside ourselves.

Blood On The Dance Floor have released a new song called “Crucified By Your Lies” that comments on multiple claims of rape against members of the band. The song also compares members in the band to Jesus Christ. Listen to the song and brave the lyrics below by…

Just so you know: Dahvie Vanity, the one on the right, rapes under-age girls.

The ONLY reason I’m giving them any kind of word of mouth advertising is to reiterate that part.

HE RAPES UNDER-AGE GIRLS.

If you are a promoter, do not book this bandDo not allow them near your venue or you risk making it a crime scene If you are a band, do not tour with themIf you are a record store, do not carry their music If you are a music site/magazine, do not interview them, promote their albums/tours or otherwise endorse them. Do not associate yourself with them.

Because you are associating yourself with a child rapist.
