Infinity On High Follow-Up

I just read that Fall Out Boy will be going back into the studio in a few months to start recording their follow up to Infinity On High. They are also recording a video for their cover of Michael Jackson's beat it. The video will be directed by Shane Drake.

It Finally Came.

March twenty-fifth was a day I had been waiting for for a very very long time. New Panic at the Disco, Counting Crows, and Raconteurs all in one day. What more could you ask for? And on top of that, the Fall Out Boy/John Mayer cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was put on Itunes and the Cab put a new song on their Myspace featuring the guest vocals of Patrick Stump and Brendon Urie.

I've already bought the new Panic CD, Pretty. Odd., and I can't stop listening to it. It's extremely different from their first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. It's a much more mature, less synthesizer sound.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the Counting Crows or Raconteurs albums yet, but when I get a chance I'll write about what I think.
