The tape was curated by Wentz and mixtape maestro Clinton Sparks and features spoken word interludes via Ludacris, a smattering of songs by Fueled By Ramen artists and six demos that will eventually find themselves on Fall Out Boy’s new album Folie A Deux.

The Academy Is… on Warped 2008: “It’s a Revolution Like 1991 in Seattle”

Photo: Getty The 2008 edition of the Warped Tour wrapped up this past weekend, and it saw the rise of Katy Perry, the arrest of Travis McCoy and a whole lot of sunburned kids screaming along to Against Me! songs. For Adam Siska, the bassist of Chicago’s the Academy Is… (whose excellent new album Fast Times at Barrington High is out this week), it’s been a historic summer. “It’s a good time in music right now,” he told Rolling Stone’s Christian Hoard. “There’s Gym Class Heroes, Against Me!, us, Everytime I Die — there’s a lot of good bands on this tour. There’s a revolution happening. It could be like 1969, or 1991 in Seattle. It feels like something’s happening again. I don’t know what it is, but something’s happening.” Beckett also wasn’t bothered by the whispers that ticket sales were down this summer. “Ticket sales don’t mean anything as long as our fans are coming. There’s not just pop punk. There’s a lot of things happening here. Festivals are meant to be diverse, and if tickets sales are down then it’s the fans’ problem for not coming out.” Related Stories: • Katy Perry and Gym Class Heroes on Their Warped Tour Adventure • Paramore Kick Off Warped Tour Jaunt in St. Louis • Gym Class Heroes Frontman Arrested at Warped Tour Stop

News Ticker: Guns N’ Roses, Warped Tour, Richie Sambora, Fall Out Boy

While we all wait endlessly for Axl Rose to release the long-delayed Chinese Democracy, the makers of Dr. Pepper are being proactive. The soft drink announced they will provide a free can of the soda to everyone in the U.S. if the album drops this year. “It took a little patience for us to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients, so we completely understand and empathize with Axl’s [quest] for the perfect album,” said a Dr. Pepper spokesperson. Paramore, Gym Class Heroes, Against Me!, Cobra Starship and others will headline this year’s Warped tour. The forty-six date tour will kick off in Los Angeles on June 20th. Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was arrested yesterday morning and charged with a DUI after allegedly driving drunk in Laguna Beach, California. Sambora previously spent two stints in rehab in 2007. The risks of playing concerts in Antarctica: After “bad weather” postponed Fall Out Boy’s trip to the South Pole, the band’s “runway” — a part of the Wilkins Ice Shelf — collapsed into the sea. The band remains in Chile until conditions improves.

England handed out its equivalent of the Grammys, awarding Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys and Kanye West Brit Awards. Amy Winehouse also gave her first public performance since entering rehab.
