A lot has happened lately in the music world, and I'm way behind in my reporting on/ interpreting/ distortion of it. Out of everything that happened, this is probably my favorite. You can check out the article for yourself if you want. Take my word for it, its pretty awesome.-> http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jul/29/get-up-kids-emo

The fact that the Get Up Kids are taking responsibility for their (negative) influence in today music scene totally redeems them in my eyes. I've been saying Fall Out Boy sucks for years, but there is an extra element of cathartic vindication to this assertion now, knowing that a band that FOB claims to be a major influence on them, agrees with me. You can't BUY that type of validation! World:1 Emo:0
