By now, it's old news that Fred left Taking Back Sunday in order to devote himself fully to The Color Fred, his solo project. And now it's time to see if it was a wise decision: is this music worth leaving such a successful band for?

What makes it so special? It has a snippet of an unreleased Thursday song. And that song, which they are making a video for, happens to kick a lot of ass. Victory is releasing the Thursday CD/DVD, as well as the Taking Back Sunday retrospective CD, on October 30th.

The band has released details about Louder Now Part 2, including a tentative release date of "mid-November." It sounds like it's going to be a really cool deal, especially since they're going to "value price" it....

I say "new" because it's really just a compilation of older songs by the band, sort of a "best of," rather than anything new. It's called Notes From the Past and will be released by Victory Records on October 30th.

What would you say to the news that Gerard Way, Chris Carrabba, and Adam Lazarra, amongst others, were all guest singers on Say Anything's In Defense of the Genre? I'm guessing something like, "I can't wait for October 23rd, when it hits stores," no?

This past Sunday, I went to the Projekt Revolution Tour in Hartford, CT. Here is a rundown of the festival.
