Listening Post

I'm past the point in my life where I have to apologize for liking a song or band, hence my unabashed enjoyment of the new Fall Out Boy single.

Sure, Pete Wentz needs to die, but this song has one of the catchiest choruses I've heard in a long time and I'm willing to cut myself some slack for liking it because somebody wise once said that there must be something in the water in Chicago when it comes to pop music. Liz Phair, Urge Overkill, Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins and, of course, the great Cheap Trick all came out of Chicago and all have an uncanny mastery of the art of the great hook and the undeniable melody.

So, yes, Pete Wentz needs to die. But this is still a really good song.

Here's I Don't Care.
