In fact, they don't suck at all. One of the most unfairly maligned bands in all the land, Fall Out Boy is despised for such sins as getting really popular and having a glammy showboat playing bass. At least one reviewer pouted that the band's addictive new album Folie a Deux, is too ambitious. Oh, please. Does anyone say that about Radiohead or Animal Collective, or any of the sanctified indie saints? Ambition is good. Ambition means you're trying.

They say it's not what you know, but who you know. It seems Fall Out Boy has taken this rule to heart on its upcoming record, Folie à Deux. In an e-mail exchange with MTV News, fab FOB frontman Pete Wentz confirmed that the band has scored guest spots from Lil Wayne and Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry for its upcoming record, set for release in November.

Just in time for the Democratic National Convention, the indie-pop quartet “The Hush Sound” have released their own super-catchy Barack Obama campaign song. The group’s lead singer, Greta Salpeter says the song began as joke, which included the lyrics “We believe in Barack Obama;loves you and he loves your mama.” But the punch line slowly turned into a full-blown song, and Salpeter says she realized she wasn’t kidding anymore. “We’re actually pretty serious. He cares for people young and old, why not write a song about him?” Despite their conviction, Greta and her co-writer Darren Wilson decided to... read more

Last week, the members of FOB unleashed a cryptic website (SevenContinents.tv) listing historic rock 'n' roll moments ("Elvis on Ed Sullivan, the Beatles at Shea, the Stones on a flat... read more
