some kind soul uploaded the full q&a that fall out boy did the other night! here is a highlights reel of things that grabbed me while i was watching for those who don't have time to watch:

they have a rapport with the interviewer and have hung out with him a bunch. patrick says they spent like 30 minutes making fun of couches last they hung out lmao

pete describes working with neal avron as being held like an enchanted forest creature with him standing inches from pete's face and saying "what. are. the songs. about." and pete going "oh my god he's looking into my fucking soul rn"

when asked what their favorite meal is, andy says "mom's spaghetti" and doesn't elaborate, patrick says "sushi" and doesn't elaborate. pete says that he's like the joker and he's a simple man and today he had a full english breakfast and he didn't know what to do with half the stuff that showed up.

pete talks about discussing the name of "the beatles" with elliot ingham (their photographer) and says he finally understood that their name was a pun. he says about this "i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed" and doesn't realize he's referencing a meme. the crowd immediately fills him in that it's a lyric by smash mouth. andy clowns on him for this right after: "he's NOT the sharpest tool in the shed"

the host says that pete seems very intellectual. pete says "i PROMISE you that's not true."

when asked about formative musical influences andy and patrick both cite familiar names (andy namedrops drummers for bands like slayer and metallica, patrick says his dad being a folk singer was a huge influence and the 1989 danny elfman batman score). pete says joy division but says he's a visual person and most of his influences are movies.

there's a moment where patrick and pete banter and pete points at the host and says "he just told me i'm smart, i'm trying to live up to it!!" and patrick says in this very small high pitched voice "please be nice to pete!"

anyway pete says his biggest influences are "all the twilight movies except for the one where they introduce [i have no idea what he says here because the crowd promptly goes apeshit]" and also lego batman.

for newer artists patrick says he really likes the new zulu record and the new incendiary song. he says he also likes MSPAINT, alvvays, and another band i couldn't catch the name of

pete says he likes all of patrick's recommendations and says he also likes games we play. andy doesn't give any artists but says patrick gave a "great list" because he's VERY jet-lagged. he's keeping it together as best as he can tho lmao

when asked about if they would ever do a fashion runway show like they did in 2013, patrick says he was embarrassingly short for the whole thing. "i'm at like, bellybutton level." so he says he doubts they would ever be invited back to do something similar "unless they want a bunch of hobbits"

someone asks about producing and patrick gets really in depth with what producing is like and uses "from under the cork tree" as an example - "nobody puts baby in the corner" was barely adjusted from demo form but "sugar we're goin down" had totally different verses at first until they got better direction from the producer.

when asked about what their favorite video to film was, pete says youngblood chronicles WASN'T a lot of fun to make because it was like 9 months with fake blood in your hair and clothes that haven't been washed oNCE. he also didn't love doing the prosthetics for "love from the other side"

the host asks if they've seen the last of us and pete says yes but points at andy and says "he hasn't seen the last episode though so no spoilers!!!" which i thought was very sweet. he then follows that up with "just watch the fuckin episode so we can talk about it!"

patrick and andy said they shot a music video recently that was a "blast" but it's not out yet. pete calls it "very fun, very funny." the crowd starts cheering and patrick hastily says "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT! you're under NO obligation to like it! but if you do then that's good :)"

patrick says one of the best parts of being in a band is that they all have imposter syndrome but in different ways so they can build up each other's ideas even if they don't believe in their own.....

pete's very nervous about the lyrics to this album cause he's not sure they'll be relatable since he has a lot of "insane fears day to day about not existing." he went to a lot of places that were terrifying to him and he was like "should i talk about this to my therapist" but his therapist said "put this in your lyrics"

"heaven, iowa" was the song that took the longest to come together on this record. this is followed by a rly long anecdote from patrick that im putting in another post cause it honestly made me howl.

when asked about who they'd most like to collaborate with, andy without hesitation says "ourselves" and nothing else. pete says he wanted a kid cudi feature on the album but it didn't work out since he was either busy or ghosted them fldjflkdf

when asked what song are they tired of playing that they can't cut from the setlist and they DON'T want to answer. patrick says some songs have really high notes that are demanding physically for him but that's as specific as he gets lol

pete's like "well we've got this punk song we end all our shows with from one of our earlier albums and it gets very chaotic and sometimes it's a bit of a fancy crowd of people who are like 'i like centuries, i like some of their other songs....i write sins...' and before we start the song i'm like. oh god this is gonna be bad."

when asked about the songwriting process, patrick says: "pete sends me lyrics, i mine them for stuff i like, and....i hate starting answers like this i feel like i've been saying this all MONTH. so i have ADHD - " [crowd fucking goes wild]

when asked about which projects they're proudest of outside of fall out boy, patrick turns to andy and says "andy is very quiet about being in like thirty bands" but andy says he's proud of "all of it"

patrick remarks that he's heard some love for soul punk but is also super grateful he gets to do film and tv scoring now too! he says he likes that when he's talking to people and they ask what he does and if they don't know bands or anything he can say he likes scoring for film and tv and their eyes glaze over and there are no follow-up questions LMAO??

pete is proudest of the bands on his record label!

for favorite songs on the new record, patrick says he likes "what a time to be alive" and says the lyrics are "so tremendously pete"

pete likes "baby annihilation"

when asked about the most difficult song to play live, patrick said headfirst slide wasn't really that difficult even though he expected it to be. he says a lot of songs on mania were very challenging to play live, like young and menace. pete says "what a catch, donnie" was very hard for his "little brain" to play

at the end pete shouts out the host for being fantastic since they've hung out like 3 times now and he thinks he's a great dude to hang out with. andy inexplicably follows this up with "you look like a DAMN fine cup of coffee" and doesn't elaborate but patrick thinks that's his way of saying thank you too

Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial Revisits Dark History with New Perspective

Set to a score composed by Holocaust victims, the doc series contains never-before-heard audio and reporting.

BY AMANDA RICHARDS

MAY 10, 2024

In 2018, a study from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany reported that two-thirds of millennials don’t know what Auschwitz is. For filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost, The Ted Bundy Tapes, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster), this finding sparked a question: Are the atrocities committed during World War II by Hitler and the Third Reich being lost to modern memory?

“It shocks me the degree to which people are unaware of or have forgotten this history,” Berlinger told Netflix. “This is the right time to retell this story for a younger generation as a cautionary tale — and on a global scale.”

This is not the first time commentators have warned against the danger of forgetting the lessons of the Holocaust. A similar “wave of amnesia” had been noted in America leading up to the 1960 publication of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, journalist William L. Shirer’s 1,250-page history of Hitler and his regime; the book sold millions of copies worldwide, won a National Book Award, and has never been out of print since.

The new series Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial, directed by Berlinger with Smuggler Entertainment and Third Eye Motion Picture Company, returns again to Shirer’s perspective. Framed by the Nuremberg Trials, which Shirer covered in 1945, the series explores the shocking rise and fall of Hitler and his enablers via a campaign that was fueled through propaganda, censorship, and antisemitism. According to Berlinger, it’s Shirer’s testimony that sets the series apart — Shirer was one of the last Western journalists to leave Germany, only doing so in late 1940, more than a year into the Second World War. He chronicled Hitler’s rise to power from a front row seat.

“[Shirer] having poured his firsthand experiences into numerous literary works, not only did we find ourselves with a personal lens through which to see this historical moment but also felt now more than ever it was important to bring his words to life,” Berlinger said.

The doc series utilized AI technology to enable Shirer to “speak” as a narrator throughout its six episodes, an endeavor that Berlinger says brought new life to the incredible reporting Shirer did at the time.

“These events took place in an era where we relied on reporters and journalists stationed in foreign countries to report the news to American audiences, and William Shirer was in a unique position as one of the few American correspondents reporting from Germany during the crucial years of Hitler’s rise and the early years of the war,” Berlinger explains. “A lot of his reports were censored in Germany, but he had the courage to smuggle his diaries out at great personal risk.”

In addition to the new perspective Shirer’s voice adds, the doc series includes cinematic recreations and archival footage, as well as never-before-heard audio testimony from Nuremberg, where dozens of Nazi leaders stood trial for crimes against humanity. Perhaps the most emotionally resonant aspect of the series, though, is the score: Much of the series’ music was created from the compositions of Holocaust victims. Berlinger says the idea to include those original compositions came from his wife’s friend, Ira Antelis — he’d recently produced a concert at Carnegie Hall that brought to life compositions created by Jewish musicians who were killed in the Holocaust.

“In the wake of Nazification, the Nuremberg Race Laws, and the horrors of the Holocaust, music creation became an outlet for European Jews to express their humanity,” Berlinger says. “It wasn’t just the sufferings of the Jews under the Nazi regime that were reflected in the lyrics or composition of their music — themes of survival, faith, freedom, and hope emerged in the ghettos and concentration camps.”

Berlinger and his team did their due diligence to find the rights holders for many of the songs featured in the score, who ranged from well-known composers who’d written music prior to entering extermination camps to ordinary people who composed music while they were inside. The music was reorchestrated for the series by Antelis, alongside composer Serj Tankian of System of a Down.

“[Tankian] has spent his career advocating for the recognition of the Armenian genocide, a precursor to the Holocaust,” Berlinger says. “It’s something that gives him a deep, spiritual connection to the material.”

Everyone needs to watch this docuseries.

Especially now.

Okay, now I need to know - what fandoms would Bess be a part of? Does she have favorite books, movies, etc?

I figured you'd be coming at me with this. lol

First, as I've already established in the past, modern Bess loves The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. George introduced her to it. She also loves the Chronicles of Narnia and is a Disney girl (both of which were her first two fandoms). She is a Twihard, but she's more into the background characters than the actual story itself; Bella annoys her, and Edward gives her the Ick. She also enjoys the works of Anne Rice and Dracula (it was one of the few books she had to read in school that she didn't hate). As a horse-girl, she was always down for any horse movies and books. In general, she loves fantasy books and DnD. She also likes mythology--Greek, Norse, Egyptian, etc.

She loves vintage and retro music, television, and movies, thanks to George as well. She jams out to anything from Frank Sinatra to Metallica. She owns the box sets of Charlie's Angels and The Brady Bunch. She will happily sit through an Andy Griffith marathon. Her favorite comedy is It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Any of Monty Python's work is a close second. To be honest, she kind of likes older things in general. (Might explain Eb more--lol.) Her aunties Doris and Maud always said Bess was an "old soul in a young body".

She also loves Westerns and definitely crushed hard on Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke. She wanted to go on a cattle drive with John Wayne and wanted to live on a Ponderosa like the Cartwrights in Bonanza. Bess has absolutely romanticized cowboys and that culture.

She adores Amy Winehouse and somewhat modeled her Moonrock persona after her. And she definitely went through an emo/goth phase in school and never let a lot of that music go.

Requests Master List // Stranger Things Master List // The Adults Master List // Chronicles of Eddie M. & Chrissy C. Master List

I had made dinner earlier that night, and we had eaten together as a family. Eddie and Charlotte sat close together; well, actually, Char sat in Eddie’s lap, and I sat just a few feet away from them at the dinner table. “Dinner is amazing, sweetheart,” Eddie said as he picked at a piece of his chicken. Charlotte is a spitting image of Eddie; the black hair that’s curly at the ends and those blue eyes were the only thing that gave away she was even remotely related to me. 

When dinner was over, Eddie ushered me out of the kitchen with a large hand on my back. “You go sit down, honey.” He said, gently guiding me towards the couch. He watched as I followed his instructions before grabbing a book off the shelf next to the TV stand.  “You just sit out here and read while Char and I clean up the kitchen,” Eddie says as he leans down to kiss my forehead chaste. 

“Alright, Char, are you ready to help me clean up?” I hear Eddie ask here just a few moments later. I hear the giggles echo off the wall as Char answers her father. The sound of water and music becomes the background noise of the story I’m reading. The sound of dishes colliding with each other. “Bubbles!” I hear a scream from the kitchen, “I know, Char, you like bubbles, baby.” Eddie all but laughs. I return my attention to my book. The words are starting to mold together for whatever reason. I can’t just put the book down and climb the stairs toward a comfy bed. 

The sound of low Metallica plays in the kitchen as my legs lie folded underneath my body, and the book in my hand starts to drop. That is until I feel the sudden kick against my pregnant belly. Charlotte would have a little brother pretty soon, so Eddie was trying his most challenging to spend all his time with her. Before, things became hectic, and with that, it led to many nights like this one. 

“Daddy?” I barely hear Char’s voice from the living room to the kitchen. “Yes, baby,” Eddie says sweetly to his three-year-old daughter. “What’s wrong with mommy?” I hear Charlotte ask her father, and there is a moment of silence between the two, and I know the look on Eddie's face. The one who tells me he has no clue what to say next. Eddie is a man of all sorts of words, but whenever his daughter asks him questions he doesn’t have answers to, he doesn’t have it in him to lie to his baby girl. 

“Come on, baby, let’s sit at the table.” I hear a nimble voice utter to our daughter. I can listen to the giant footsteps against the hardwood. Then, the scooting of the chair legs on the hardwood floor, I grit my teeth together; the sound sends the worst shivers down my spine. Like nails on a chalkboard. “Mommy is just feeling a little tired nowadays.” Eddie finally clarifies. “Is it because of my brother?” Charlotte is always inquisitive and alert to the world around her, especially for her age. Eddie’s laugh echoes into the living room, then it becomes silent. “Yeah, baby, your brother isn’t being very nice to your mommy,” Eddie tells our daughter. 

“Well, he better be nice to my mommy because… well, because I love her…” My heart swells at Char’s confession, and it triples when Eddie echoes her words. “I love her too.” There are sounds of giggles that last for longer than it takes for me to read a full page of the book in my lap. “What are you doing daddy?” I get distracted once more by the sounds of my daughter annoying her father with her endless questions. “Aren’t you supposed to be coloring?” Eddie says, asking her a question of his own. It’s meant to redirect her, but because she likes her father, it only spurs her on to push more of his buttons. “I would be coloring, Daddy, but you’re thinking too loud.” I burst out into laughs, unable to keep them in my chest. “I hear you out there laughing,” Eddie yells from the other rooms. 

My cheeks hurt by the time I can even think about anything else. Then, another kick brings me back to my reality. “Jesus, you just had to kick me,” I mutter. I put a bookmark between the pages of my book before pushing myself off the couch and to my feet. I shuffle to the bathroom down the hall like a penguin. I can’t hear the two in the kitchen as I shuffle my pajama pants down my hips and relieve myself. 

As I wash my hands, I notice how tired I am; the dark circles under my eyes are darker than ever. And my hair is tangled in blonde messes. I quickly push away nasty thoughts about myself as I finish washing my hands and return to the hallway. The sounds are different as I walk down the hallway. “Daddy…” “Yes, honey.” Eddie echos Charlotte’s whine. “What are you doing?” Her question is funny, very much like her father. 

Eddie had always feared that he would be like his father, yet he’s so far from it now. Never gets mad or annoyed with his daughter or me. He’s always there lending a helpful hand, helping me with something, or sitting through his daughter’s endless tea parties. Where she forces him to wear crowns and pink tutus. The smile on Eddie’s face is a lighting path, a true sign that he’s nothing like his father. 

“I’m coming up with things for my campaign.” His answers sometimes are very… very straightforward. “What’s that?” She asks curiously. I round the corner where the kitchen and living room met. Just around the wall is the dining room, where the chatter gets louder. “Well, sweetheart, it’s a game that daddy plays with his friends. With princes, and warriors, and fairies.” I smile at his words. Laced in sugar for his daughter to be able to understand. “Can I be a fairy?” Of course, that’s Charlotte’s first question, unbothered by anything else her father just said. I feel that will be a recurring in their relationship. 

A long pause makes me stop walking to hide behind the wall to the dining room door frame. Neither of them can see me, but I can see both of them. Eddie’s got his thinkin’ hat on right now. “Hmm, I don’t see why not. Come here, baby.” Eddie says, dropping the pencil on the table. “Can you grab me those books over there?” Eddie asks Char, but her eyes go wide. “I’ll do it, baby.” I was unable to keep my mouth quiet. His brows sink on his face, “I thought I told you too…” “I had to pee, so I’m up now. Deal with it, Eds.” I bark at him as I round the table and grab two thick books and a few sheets of blank paper. 

He sighs but doesn’t say anything as I sit beside him. “Are you okay, mommy?” Char asks me. I nod, and Eddie grabs her by the waist hoisting her up to his lap. “Are you ready, baby,” Eddie asks Char as her legs sit over just one of Eddie’s legs. “So you wanna be a fairy, right Char?” Eddie asks; she nods her head with excitement. “Did you hear that, mommy? Daddy said I can be a fairy?” Her smile beams across the dining room. “I heard him baby. You can be whatever your heart wants to be.” I tell her, scooting closer to comb my fingers through her black locks and kiss her forehead. 

“Alright, so, we don’t gotta pick a race. But we have to do some other stuff.” Eddie floods the books, and his words gloss over my head and Char’s. Regardless, we are watching him geek out about his daughter’s interest in his world. The world that had kept him safe until I met him. It brings me to a lull. I rest my hands on my protruding belly, and rest my eyes. Eddie’s deep voice and Char’s giggles lulled me to sleep. It feels like hours before the sounds stop, and everything is quiet. A sizeable gentle hand is on my shoulder. Shaking me awake gently, “Both my girls fell asleep on me.” Eddie whispers. The lights are dimmed, and Char isn’t in the room. Eddie seems to follow my thoughts. “Already in bed.” He answers my racing mom’s thoughts. “Let’s go to bed,” Eddie whispers again, putting a hand out for me to grab on. He pulls me up, and we walk hand in hand to the bedroom. 

Eddie walks me to my side of the bed. “Thank you, honey.” I manage to get out before a yawn cuts me off. I can see the slightest smile on his face. “It’s my pleasure, my love.” Eddie leans down and presses a chaste kiss into my forehead and another one on my lips, and instantly, I’m brought to life wanting more, but Eddie’s already dragging away from me. “You know how much Char loves you, right?” I say as Eddie bends down at his knee to slip my shoes off my swollen feet. He nods and continues to work on my slippers. “I’m serious, Eddie, she loves you so much. She doesn’t care as long as she can always be right by your side. She’s a daddy’s girl.” The tears that I didn’t notice rolled down my cheeks. “Aww baby,” Eddie says, looking up to see my tears, rubbing a large thumb over them and sweeping them away. 

“I know she loves me, baby; I know many things. Just like I know how much you love the both of us. That’s why you’re always watching us from afar. I love you just as much. Like I said earlier, baby. You are my girls, and I love my girls. I smile at Eddie’s confession. The words melted my heart and caused a wave of tiredness to wash over me. “Let’s get you to bed, baby,” Eddie mutters as he kicks back the sheets and pulls me against him.

NO LESS THAN THE QUINTESSENTIAL PROTO-THRASH DRUMMUNG MANIAC.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the late, great "Philthy Animal" Taylor playing his infamous double-bass drum set during MOTÖRHEAD's "Overkill" tour, c. 1979.

"Taylor introduced me to that double bass type of thing. When I first heard "Overkill" in early 1979, that was what blew my head off.”

-- LARS ULRICH, co-founder & drummer for METALLICA

"MOTÖRHEAD was the first time I heard double bass done at that pattern. I had heard of other double bass drummers, but I don’t think they did anything like that, at that tempo and that beat.”

-- DAVE LOMBARDO, American percussionist & former drummer for SLAYER

Top 50 Albums of 2023: Honourable Mentions

I’ve spent most of this year thinking to myself that 2023 hasn’t been a hallmark one for music – I think I was wrong.

With 2022 serving up some of my favourite records in recent years and most of my favourite artists releasing new music that delivered on high expectations, I sort of had in mind that 2023 just wasn’t as strong by comparison. But in the process of compiling my annual Top 50 Albums of the Year, revisiting songs and thinking back on the live performances I’ve seen, I’ve been reminded of the sheer depth of quality music we’ve been gifted over the last 12 months.

In 2022 I listened to more new music than any other year I can remember and it seems I pretty much matched this personal best again in 2023. My Apple Music Replay tells me I’ve listened to 733 albums from 884 different artists, 4,835 different songs and a whopping 39,935 minutes of music. Whittling this mass of great music down hasn’t been easy, which is why this year I’m taking a slightly different approach to my year-end countdown. Instead of focussing on just the albums with the daily Top 50 in the build-up to the new year, I’m going to celebrate all the mediums of music I’ve enjoyed instead.

From my own tally that I keep every year, I’ve consumed over 240 newly released Albums & EPs from 2023, listened to around 2,500 songs and witnessed 115 live performances (and counting!) over the last 12 months as well. This has given me the impossible task of choosing my year-end champions in terms of albums, EPs, songs and live shows of the year. The songs will come in playlist form later in the month along with a roundup of my favourite EPs and live shows of the year, but for now I’m beginning with the best albums that the year had to offer.

As ever, these albums come from a multitude of genres (pop, rock, indie, hip-hop, R&B, electronica, shoegaze, punk and post-punk - it’s all here!) so although there is a good chance you won’t enjoy everything on this list, hopefully there is at least something for everyone to enjoy. Of course, the variety also makes it very difficult to rank one above the other, so don’t get too hung up on the placements. Generally, I’ve favoured the albums that:

Had the biggest impact on me and the wider music world in the last 12 months

Had ambition or something unique to offer

I played the most during the year

Ultimately produced my favourite front-to-back listening experience

Before the countdown officially starts tomorrow with the albums that finished 50-41, I wanted to just shout out the albums that I thoroughly enjoyed this year but ultimately just missed out on the Top 50 spots. Essentially these albums would’ve made up the 100-51 placings if I had the time spare to do an even bigger countdown. However as I don’t, here they are as my 50 Honourable Mentions for 2023 in alphabetical order:

My stepfamily – my brother, brother’s wife, and her kids (which he adopted) – have many wonderful qualities, but organisation is not one of Metallica M72 Seattle Night 1 Poster Wolf Artwork On August 30 2024 In Washington At Lumen Field M72 North American Tour 2024 Unisex T Shirt. Even when I was 15 my brother (18 years older than me) would call me, panicking, on Christmas Eve, wanting me to come shopping and help pick out stuff for his girlfriend. Now that he’s married and in his fifties, he no longer calls me for shopping help, but I expect he still leaves a lot of it till Christmas Eve. This year I’ve been texting him and my niece since September, asking what to get for my nephew and his partner (who I don’t know that well, and I’ve never met his partner), my niece’s partner (ditto), and five kids (I was never an average kid and have no idea what to buy children, as shown by a couple years ago, when I bought the 3-year-old a box set of the Chronicles of Narnia, and then was startled when I was gently told that 3-year-olds can’t read. I taught myself to read with Enid Blyton at 3, and my dad gave me Narnia by the end of that year, but apparently this is not the norm).
