Fall Out Boy Artwork
I love it. “Folie á Deux” will be released November 4th. Color me fucking excited!
Folie à deux (literally, “a madness shared by two”) is a rare psychiatric syndrome in which a symptom of psychosis (particularly a paranoid or delusional belief) is transmitted from one individual to another.
Champion
I’m not a big fan of Kanye West, but I did like Graduation (and the cover art by Takashi Murakami), so that’s why I’m here to let you know that his brand new music video for “Champion” has been released. I’m not sure I like the changes in the song compared to the album version though.
The Academy Is… Almost Here
The cover art for the upcoming The Academy Is… album “Fast Times At Barrington High” has been released and even though I don’t like the cover nearly as much as their debut album Almost Here I think it suits their new direction. “About A Girl” will be the first single and you can stream a clip here. You can also check out the track listing, which has just been revealed as well.
“Fast Times At Barrington High” will be released August 19th.
The Art of the Title Sequence

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails Was A Member of OiNK!
The man is right.
Trent: I’ll admit I had an account there and frequented it quite often. At the end of the day, what made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world’s greatest record store. Pretty much anything you could ever imagine, it was there, and it was there in the format you wanted. If OiNK cost anything, I would certainly have paid, but there isn’t the equivalent of that in the retail space right now. iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don’t feel cool when I go there. I’m tired of seeing John Mayer’s face pop up. I feel like I’m being hustled when I visit there, and I don’t think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc. Amazon has potential, but none of them get around the issue of pre-release leaks. And that’s what’s such a difficult puzzle at the moment. If your favorite band in the world has a leaked record out, do you listen to it or do you not listen to it? People on those boards, they’re grateful for the person that uploaded it — they’re the hero. They’re not stealing it because they’re going to make money off of it; they’re stealing it because they love the band. I’m not saying that I think OiNK is morally correct, but I do know that it existed because it filled a void of what people want.
OiNK Art
From the artist:
I think it symbolizes giving, and the fact that we are all connected. Oink is like one leaf on a tree of illegal file sharing, as autumn comes and the leaf falls off, it will be replaced come spring time with a new brighter leaf.
