Hey...News From Fall Out Boy
Fall Out Boy are giving the fans the chance to win their own blood. Recalling Pete Doherty's blood paintings, the band are set to use their own fluids in a series of promotional posters which they will give away to fans. A winner will be chosen in each US city that the band hits on their tour.
Explaining the gory art, bassist Pete Wentz said: "We're going to be running a series of contests. One is an ode to Kiss. My brother is going to make 45 prints based on images from our record.
"Each will be hand-numbered and individually made. In addition, all prints will have a mixture of each member of the band's blood in it.
Wentz said that the blood contest would serve to shed "some light on the much-needed support for blood drives".
In 1977 Kiss donated some of their own blood to Marvel Comics, who then combined it with the red ink used to colour the first Kiss comic, reports MTV News (NME).
News from Lily Allen
Lily Allen, Alright, Still (Capitol)
In limited doses, Lily Allen comes across like the cute girl you meet at a party – she’s fun and flirty and she’s got a sense of humor and a brain to boot. But Alright, Still is a hits-plus-filler affair, and over its short running time, her adorably tart personality isn’t enough to lift the clunky moments. She’s a hoot when she mocks her ex on “Smile,” and she’s touching when she laments the body issues that plague young women like herself on the deceptively sunny “Everything’s Just Wonderful.” Because she’s British, she reminds me of a female Mike Skinner, vulgar and vulnerable all at once. Except Skinner’s diary entries are funny where hers are merely clever. Her pop sense is stronger, though – and unlike Skinner, even at her meanest she knows that, deep down, she’s really just adorable
