Matt Rubano , former bassist of Taking Back Sunday, just announced on Friends Or Enemies Radio that he was recently working with Fall Out Boy vocalist Patrick Stump on his new project. "We've been talking about helping to put the band together to go on tour for his record," Rubano said. The bassist gushed that Stump is "a mountain of talent," who -- during their time working together -- took on instruments from guitar to drums to even a trumpet. The unique dynamic the artists have is one that Matt Rubano describes as, "we're both kind of these weird secret jazz fans that ended up in rock bands." That sounds like a combination that could lead to some interesting tunes. Rubano said there will be more information in the coming weeks. Keep your eyes open! XoXo c.

Pete Wentz is set to call in to premiere Fall Out Boy's new single, "From Now On We're Enemies," on FriendsOrEnemies.Com -powered online station Rock-It Radio tomorrow at 4 P.M. EST.

Fall Out Boy's "greatest hits" album Believers Never Die is set for worldwide release tomorrow (Nov 17). XoXo c.

It's time for Cassie to be a critic. I write this the day after the show, hoping I can remember as many details as possible from the rain-soaked experience of last night that has been calling itself the Believers Never Die Part Deux tour. The Arena District of Columbus, Ohio found itself invaded last night by rainclouds and a crowd of kids in brightly-colored hoodies massing together in the quickly flooding Lifestyles Communities Pavilion. Rain or Shine, this was an outdoor event... Rain. Hmph. The rain, however, was no obstacle for fans who had waited in line all day and those who conglomerated in the downpour when doors opened. In their eyes it was worth a few prune-y fingers to see Hey Monday, Cobra Starship, Metro Station, All Time Low, and Fall Out Boy. But, but was it really? To begin, I would like to narrow down the bands that opened for Fall Out Boy into a couple categories: A.) Bands just being bands -Hey Monday -All Time Low B.) !!DANCE PARTY!! / Dance and don't give ...

Pete Wentz announced onstage tonight that Fall Out Boy will tour with Blink 182 this summer. Pretty epic, I'd say considering the whole "Blink is back" phenomenon... But, can we really say they were ever gone... Ah, I'm tired out from the show and rambling. Forgive me. Keep an eye out for my Believers Never Die Review! XoXo c.

It's more popular than one might think for bands to use video games to grab the attention of fans. For instance, there is the now legendary Emo Game which features bands such as The Starting Line, Cursive, Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, and Hot Water Music which was created by starvingeyes, the same guys who brought you the more modern Fall Out Boy Trail . Those of you who are like me and have been into My Chemical Romance for a while probably also remember the Helena and Sweet Revenge games that used to be a feature of My Chemical Romance.com . Through the various layout changes of the website, the games were lost as a feature, but can still be played for the sake of nostalgia here: Sweet Revenge game AND Helena Game . Now, Taking Back Sunday have added a brand new addition to the band-game frontier- check it out: I'm soooo terrible at the snow level, but it's cool. Just gets me more hyped for the show on Friday! Have fun! XoXo c.

Sometimes in life, one is so proud of the music one has scrobbled on last.fm that she just does not want to listen to anything else and ruin it. I give you my brilliant listening of last night-- a masterpiece I like to call: "Cassie at the Age of Twelve" Ah, there-- now it's preserved forever and I can go back to listening to music. Sorry for the lack of recent updates. This quarter has kept me amazingly busy. This month is sure to be a huge one for this blog, though, because I have two shows to attend, and those two shows happen to be within the same week. Busy, busy, busy... Wednesday, May 13    Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour                          Columbus, Ohio Friday, May 15           Taking Back Sunday, Anberlin, Envy on the Coast       Cincinnati, Ohio XoXo...
