Taylor Swift Covers Fall Out Boy In Chicago
Wed Aug 10 2011 by Becky Bain
Still traveling the country on her Speak Now tour, Taylor Swift continues her series of covering songs by music acts who have an association to the city she's currently in. She performed Eminem in Detroit, Pink and TLC in Philly, and last night in Chicago, the Teen Choice winner busted out Chi-Town fave Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Goin Down". What, did you expect her to cover a Kanye song? (How amazing would that have been if she did, though?) Watch below.

Justin Timberlake And The 9 Other Artists We Demand New Music From
Tue Jun 28 2011 by Becky Bain
Justin Timberlake’s newest movie Bad Teacher was released in theaters this past weekend, where it scored an impressive $31 million at the box-office. The success of his newest cinematic venture is just another nail in the coffin that was his music career. He’s made it clear that “music is not my focus right now”, but when, JT, when?! As desperate as we are for Timberlake to step back in the studio (and not just for another Lonely Island digital short), he isn’t the only artist at the top of their game who either fled from the spotlight or focused their energy on alternate projects. Check out the nine other acts we’re practically begging to release new tunes. More »
Patrick Stump: The Idolator Interview
Wed Apr 20 2011 by Becky Bain
Patrick Stump might be on a solo tour right now, but he assures us that it's been anything but lonely. "I haven't been wanting for company," the Fall Out Boy frontman-turned-one-man-band told us during a chat before his two sold-out shows at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. "I’m definitely surrounded by people. It’s a solo tour but it’s not sitting up there [alone].”
During our exclusive sit-down with the velvet-voiced soul punker, Stump discussed what it's like playing with a whole new group of guys, what Fall Out Boy might sound like when the boys get back together (he says he'll be "surprised if we never did another record”) and why he finally caved in to tweeting. Video interview after the jump! More »

Listen To Another New Tune From Pete Wentz’s Band The Bl4ck C4rds
Wed Jul 7 2010 by Becky Bain
Pete Wentz's new outfit The Bl4ck C3rds scored themselves a Facebook and MySpace page, although both leave much to be desired, like a band photo or any information whatsoever. (How Iamamiwhoami of them!) True to their word, Wentz and Co. released another snippet of a new song, "Beating In My Chest," on a password-protected Vimeo site. "So sick of the memories, thanks for everything," the female vocalist sings on the track. "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" reference, perhaps? In any case, the rest of the lyrics scream Wentz to us: "Sex beating in my chest, but I just wanted your love / I'm young, dumb, but you're not the only one... I just wanted your love to come." Click here and enter the password (July8) to hear their latest tune. [Spin]
Pete Wentz Unveils New Band And New Song
Fri Jul 2 2010 by Becky Bain
Patrick Stump is doing his solo thing, and Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley are off in heavy metal group The Damned Things—so what's Pete Wentz been up to during Fall Out Boy's indefinite hiatus? Besides directing music videos and helping raise funds to fix the oil spill, Pete's got himself a new band called Bl4ck C4rds (pronounced Black Cards, presumably). So is this FOB Vol. 2, or has Wentz gone in a completely new musical direction?

Patrick Stump Gives A Stellar Solo Show At South By Southwest
Mon Mar 22 2010 by Becky Bain
After watching Patrick Stump's premiere performance as a solo artist at South By Southwest Friday night, we did a double take—with his newly svelte physique, his cropped hair, his lack of hat (a sight that rarely occurs), and without Pete Wentz yacking on and on into the mic in between songs, we barely recognized the man. Then he opened his mouth, and that velvety voice we love flowed out.
Stump played a short set list of covers and new material from his forthcoming solo album while opening for Hole at the Dirty Dog Bar in Austin, Texas. Did he pull it off alone, or does the man forever belong in a band? Watch videos from Stump's show after the jump. More »

Patrick Stump Discusses His Funky Solo Album And His Hatred Of Tweeting
Wed Feb 10 2010 by Becky Bain
We got a video sneak peak of Patrick Stump's solo effort, and now the smooth, golden-throated vocalist is openly discussing his forthcoming album. Stump recently chatted with Spin magazine to discuss songs ("As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid," a lengthy song title Pete Wentz couldn't have penned it better himself), his influences (which range from Prince to Conan O'Brien), and his distate for Twitter. Highlights from the interview below. More »
