In the next few weeks there will be some ridiculous Greatest Hits collections going on sale. I have no problem with the Foo Fighters getting one, they've been doing their thing for a while now and have had some very solid singles over the year, and their collection of hits could easily replace their records on my shelves. But a band like Fall Out Boy??? Give me a break and get serious for a minute here. Over the years countless artists have put out scores of Greatest Hits collections to keep the money flowing in, or to give fans one [...]

Filed under: Music Appreciation When Drew Barrymore chose ' Whip It ' as her directorial debut, she picked the script partially for its exploration of friendship. "You love to rock out with your best friend and cruise and drive and listen to the Ramones and play air guitar," she says . "And yet, at the same time, they will come and slap you when you're acting out of line." The Ramones are the perfect band to illustrate her point. "Hey! Ho! Let's go!" [...]
