Top 10 Movies of 2008
2008 was a year of fanboy fantastics and terrible remakes, and terrible from-tv-to-silver-screen adaptations. Here’s a list of the potential top 10 movies of 2008!
Before we say goodbye to 2008.. say hello to these bands!
If I could compile a list of bands that have influenced my thinking while proving to me once and for all that the music industry isn’t in shambles, these would be the bands I think everyone needs to listen to .. at least once!
(make note, these are all contemporary bands, let’s leave the oldies to the oldies)
FOB matures with a sound that’s reminiscent of their past!
It’s the year 2008 and I think it’s safe to say the musical landscape is probably the dreariest it’s been in years. Faux bands such as The Jonas Brothers capitalize the market, while snotty lil wanna-be punksters like Miley Cyrus infiltrate the air waves with their brand of bubblegum pop. All while the underground scene for music continues to flourish. Then there are the “in-betweens”, the ones that seem to manage both scenes effectively. Finally, there’s Fall Out Boy!
I find it extremely difficult to hate FOB simply because they create a great product each and every time they enter the studio. On top of that, they have done everything right! They started their own label and found top-hit bands such as Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, The Academy Is…, Paramore, etc. They created the FOB brand; it’s pure genius! Other bands may call them sell-outs…but isn’t that the epitome of being a rockstar? Take a look at the Rolling Stones (no I am not comparing the two bands), they have become a brand over time! They have established themselves as rock’s elite, simply by creating buzz over the years and making listenable music time and time again!
