When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.

Next time you’re struggling to make conversation, try asking this question: “If you could invite anyone (living or dead) to the perfect house party, who would it be?”
Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
All is well that ends well. If this is true, Christmas with the Kranks is a must-see (or a must-rent or must-purchase, however you’d like). But instead, the movie proves that clich? false.
The film, which was released on DVD in November, is somewhat atypical of a holiday story, because the central characters try to avoid the holiday cheer instead of partaking in the usual routine.
Tim Allen (the king of Christmas movies) and Jamie Lee Curtis star as Luther and Nora Krank, a typical suburban couple. With their daughter abroad over the Christmas season, the Kranks?usually the family in the neighbourhood who goes all out with decorations and a party?decide to skip everything to save money, and instead plan on going on a cruise.
They refuse to put up their giant Frosty, cancel their party, decide not to give out gifts or even send out their best wishes; essentially, they avoid Christmas for a year, thinking they’ll have more fun on a cruise then entertaining their neighbours. Why they didn’t just scale things back a little and still be courteous to their friends, instead of being Grinches, is never explained.
The neighbours don’t understand. They want to see Frosty put up on the roof, at the very least. Dan Aykroyd, the unofficial neighbourhood leader, encourages their participation, but they remain reluctant to conform. His tone is mean, but his dialogue is very courteous. He’s the most confusing character you will ever come across in a simple Christmas movie.
And then, hours before the Kranks’ cruise is to leave, they get a call. Their daughter is coming home. Now.
They must put together some sort of holiday feast so their daughter ? well for some reason they don’t just want to tell their daughter they are going on a cruise. With honesty, there would be no story, ergo no movie, so maybe that’s the reason. So the movie does prove one clich? true: honesty is the best policy.
As mentioned, the ending is strong (heartfelt, sappy), but does not quite make up for the first hour. Just don’t think about how much time you spent watching the movie (98 minutes, but who’s counting?) and you’ll stand up with a smile on your face.
Reflect on those 98 minutes and you’ll agonize over all the things you could have been doing instead.
No bonus features here; you won’t want any though after sitting through Christmas with the Kranks.
