Oh… my… gawd. I just looked up at the clock and realized that it was 11:26AM. Even more important, 11:26AM on a Friday. Yikes. The whirlwind of Thanksgiving preparations and celebrations has made me completely forget the day.

So… Thanksgiving. Every year the Hallmark-style twist on the emotions begins — that no matter how bad things might seem, there are always people whose situations are far worse. This is true. Compared to U.S. citizens who have lost their jobs and/or homes, I should have no complaints. And contrast even their predicaments with the horror of Darfur? No contest.

I don't even know how I feel about my situation.

As Fall Out Boy gear up to release their new album, ‘Folie A Deux’ on December 16, they’ve admitted the impact of fatherhood on one of the band has changed things. In addition to facing an uncertain economy and an altered music industry since they put out 2007’s ‘Infinity On High’, bassist/songwriter Pete Wentz and his wife Ashlee Simpson just had their first child. When asked how the birth of the new baby will affect the band, drummer Andy Hurley told NME.COM: “I think having a child intrinsically changes things. It’s something we’ll be getting used to for the next couple of months - how to balance it for Pete. We’d do anything for Pete, Ashlee and baby Bronx.

The Rhino Records/New Order reissue project is an interesting one. Reissuing the first five New Order Records – Movement, Power, Corruption & Lies, Low-Life, Brotherhood, and Technique – was going to be exciting. Fans debated and discussed the proposed tracklistings on message boards for an eternity, pining over what was included and what wasn’t.

On the 2 CD Collector’s Edition of the Greater Manchester quartet’s legendary Power, Corruption & Lies, the tracklisting was taken from the original U.K. version of the recording. That means no “Blue Monday” on the album, as the track was released as a single in the U.K.
