Fall Out Boy Band • Page 115

what you critics said would never happen

 

I'll answer the why: Because I've been using it since 2012. All my shit is organized into folders and subfolders for each year. My OCD will not allow a change/switch to apple. I tried a few times to test it out and I hate the format and look of Apple.

Hope that clears things up.

 

Spotify has by far the messiest and least intuitive user interface/library system of all the streaming services and it’s gotten progressively worse over time. I used it for years and have been far happier since switching to apple music

 

I've only ever used Spotify and I've never had any issues. But that is just me and I like how I have things set up. Again, its the OCD in me I guess. But that's great that Apple works better for others.

 

I find the opposite to be true. Apple Music feels way more confusing and also seems to push a lot of things I have no interest in. Granted this could be that Spotify has had a decade to learn what I like and listen to

 

I would say that’s the case as I don’t have that issue with Apple Music at all and been using it since it’s launch.

 

With this take down blink’s “Edging” performance?

 

Produced by Neal Avron, hell yeah

 

Listened a number of times and yeah, this is possibly my favourite FOB song since 2008 lol.

 

This rules. Like, best Fall Out Boy song in 15 years rules. That said, I'm sort of tired of singles with long intros getting released alongside a version of the song without the intro. Like, either commit or don't commit to the intro. That's not necessarily a Fall Out Boy thing - if anything it's probably the label, but it bothers me for some reason.

 

That's a radio thing.

 

Because Spotify doesn't have the equivalent of a Zane Lowe on their platform? They take a different approach to music promo, but I much prefer all the in-depth interviews artists do with Zane on Apple Music. Exclusives like this help sell the services.

I do understand the hesitation on switching platforms though. I've been on Apple Music since day 1, so the idea of uprooting my entire music library again at 34 gives me anxiety. I'm sticking with what I know haha.

 

I have never felt left out not hearing some random exclusive interview on any platform. If anything of substance is said, it will be quoted online immediately. So, whatever.

 

I get that. I only watch the ones for artists I really like. Committing an hour or more for some of these is a big ask for my attention span.

 

I mean, if I have access, I may watch/listen. It’s more that if I don’t have it, it doesn’t bother me because of what I said above.

 

New song is so damn good.

 

Aren't most Zane Lowe interviews free to watch on YouTube anyway

 

So, I kicked off a discography run on my way home from work to celebrate today's events. And a question came to me while I listened to Evening Out With Your Girl.

If you could go back in time and choose a different song from that album to be re-recorded for TTTYG, what song would you choose? I would choose Pretty In Punk. I wonder what made them choose Calm Before the Storm out of all those songs.

Edit: I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that Honorable Mention would be my well… honorable mention as the song I would choose.

 

I’m just bummed. Same goes for The 1975 MSG show only being on prime. I have to limit my streaming subscriptions.

 

I did the same thing today (still currently listening). And I hadn’t heard pretty in punk in forever. I still remember all the damn words. So yea, fully agree. Imagine what it would have sounded like with the right production!!!

 

And I get what you’re all saying about the Zane interview.

imma shut up now lol

 

I stopped my run for the moment. Technically. I’m almost to the end of TTTYG. But I also am wrapping up listening to FUCT on vinyl. But I’ll listen to it again when I continue the run through tomorrow morning once TTTYG wraps up.

That song always stick out to me. Probably the whole judging a girl you like’s boyfriend as you’re alone forever haha so my vibe

 

Just spent way too long transcribing this segment about Folie à Deux:

“It’s funny thinking about the why and kind of what you’re saying —the getting out there. There’s an element that people would ask me about Folie, which was a weird record that we did that it’s either a love it or hate it record. Some people love that record and some people don’t. And people ask me “what did you do, why is that one different?” And there was a feeling that, I don’t want it to sound anything like that record, but I wanted to get back to this feeling that we had when we were making it which was like “I don’t know how much longer this is gonna last.” You know what I mean? Like when we did that record, you know the emo thing had this zeitgeist explosion moment and we got like swept up in it. But then it’s like: “But I don’t know if we’re gonna be be pop stars tomorrow, so this is the last time I can guarantee that someone’s gonna front the bill for me to hire orchestra.” So there was an urgency of like kinda just wanting to get your idea on tape because who knows? Again growing up in Chicago or whatever, most of the bands that I knew from around there that had the major label record and it maybe had a hit and then they maybe kind of fell off or whatever. That’s what I was used to so I expected that, so I was like, this might be the last record I ever make.”
