Under The Rock: How To Stay On Top of One-Night Stands

Posted on August 12, 2009 by Emma Renda

Small Talk – Graffiti6 (2 of 3)

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?”

Small Talk – Graffiti6 (1 of 3)

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.

Small Talk – Nick Carter (3 of 3)

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.

Small Talk – Nick Carter (2 of 3)

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.

Small Talk – Nick Carter (1 of 3)

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.

Small Talk – Hedley (2 of 2)

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.

Small Talk – Hedley (1 of 2)

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.

Small Talk – Marina and The Diamonds (2 of 2)

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.

Small Talk – Neverest

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.

Small Talk – Marina and The Diamonds (1 of 2)

Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.

Small Talk – Howie D (2 of 2)

Small Talk – Howie D (1 of 2)

Let’s face it, whether you want to admit it or not, we’re all Backstreet Boys fans. However, what happens when they grow up, have children and become Backstreet Men? Howie D talks to @jordans_life about baby making music, becoming a father and his new album titled “Back To Me” (2011).

Jamie Bell: Bringing TinTin To Life

It’s surprising to think that a dance background would be of any use to an actor playing a cartoon character. However, The Adventures of Tin Tin is so realistic it’s goes far beyond the limits of the word “animation.”

Small Talk – Cody Simpson (3 of 3)

andPOP (@jordans_life) talked to Cody Simpson about being immortalized with his very own doll, just in time for Xmas.

Small Talk – Cody Simpson (2 of 3)

Cody talks about his upcoming track with Justin, and why he respects Bieber so much as an artist. He also confirms that he and the Biebs will collaborate, however, they’re just “looking for the right song.”

#thisweekontheinternet – Week 8

In the final TWOTI of 2011, Paul speaks out against senior citizen abuse via dubstep, takes a crash course in Brazilian motorcycle crashes and introduces you to the one man who blows more hot air in front of an audience than him.

Small Talk – Cody Simpson (1 of 3)

We all know what it’s like to be down in the dumps, and pop stars are no different. Jordan (@Jordans_Life) sat down with Cody Simpson to ask him what picks him up when he’s down. And then he made some kind of come-on comments about his Dad.

#thisweekontheinternet – Week 7

#freshpresslive – Dec 5/11

We talk about the Kourtney Kardashian controversy, Shaun White’s naked pics, and a condom dress?

#thisweekontheinternet – Week 6

When the hungriest/creepiest baby alive and a bizarre Japanese game show with cats in cups isn’t the week’s top online video, you know whatever topped them had to involve Mike Tyson.
