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.
Everyone always jokes about how CDs will one day become like the polaroid camera, or dinosaurs – extinct! When software like iTunes is put on the table, how long before CDs actually become extinct?
Google Music is the latest product to help distribute music digitally and not tangibly. Veteran rapper Busta Rhymes appeared at last week’s Google Music launch and announced he’s relying on the company to launch his latest album, appropriately titled “E.L.E. Extinction Level Event”.
The Hollywood Reporter says the rapper’s looking for new ways to release his music in a world that’s evolved from record players to CDs to MP3s.
“I come from pre-Internet — not trying to sound like a dinosaur, but the success of [our records] wasn’t always determined by how much it spun on the radio…You have that outlet of 100 million, 200 million Android phones, YouTube, Google itself and every other medium that comes as a perk with the situation. It exposes your music,” he says of his deal with Google Music.
There are reports of other bands like Coldplay and Maroon 5 signing up to distribute songs and concert footage via Google Music. This is a great thing for Google but will it be a great thing to DVD and CD sales? Probably not when everyone’s buying digital copies. From the looks of how smoothly things with iTunes and Google Music are going, we may be seeing compact discs in museums in the next decade.
Someone asked me two weeks ago for my choice for the best album of 2005. I thought for five minutes and I had my response. There was no “best” album of 2005.
It was a dreadful year for music.
The obvious choices are those that are both best sellers and critically acclaimed. Two albums fit into that recipe of success: Kanye West’s Late Registration and Coldplay’s X&Y. Late Registration was not as good as The College Dropout and X&Y was nowhere near as good as Coldplay’s previous albums. So picking either album would be a bad choice.
It’s a popular choice to think indie. With that mentality, one could consider albums by The White Stripes (they are still indie by definition), Feist, The Arcade Fire, and maybe even Matisyahu. But were any of them worthy of the “best” title? Hardly.
Hip-hop didn’t have a particularly good year in terms of good music. In terms of sales, hip-hop will never have a problem as long as 50 Cent has albums to reissue. But credibility, quality, superior music? Common and Damian Marley come to mind. They both had solid albums from the first track to the last, but again, there has to be something better out there.
The legends, anything there? Paul McCartney, U2, Neil Young, Ray Charles. They all released albums, some great (U2), some not so great (P.Mac). But none deserve the title. Next!
Remix albums and greatest hits compilations? Just kidding. Sorry Britney Spears, ‘N Sync, and Hilary Duff. Not even close.
I’m out of ideas.
Almost.
andPOP’s choice for album of the year: In Your Honor by the Foo Fighters. Don?t be too flattered, Dave. The best album of 2005 isn’t awarded to the best of the best. It’s given to you, the best of the worst.
Good luck, 2006. I miss you, 2004.
