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.
Demi Lovato was the at the Seventeen Magazine luncheon on Wednesday. She took some questions from reporters, and one was particularly interesting.
Demi was asked which artist would be her dream collaboration. Her response? Eminem.
“Hopefully, I can work with Eminem,” Lovato said. “He’s my favorite rapper so anything with him would be amazing.”
This might be doable. Eminem has worked with pop stars in the past, and Demi does have a little bit of an edge. Maybe we can make this happen?
Cody Simpson has finally started collaborating with his good buddy Justin Bieber.
Cody sent out a tweet “Good time in the studio with @justinbieber @iamjulkeyz @itsmattgraham @kennyhamilton. #2012 we’re coming.”
We spoke to Cody last month, and Cody talks about his relationship with Justin, and being compared to Bieber.
It’s natural that people compare Cody Simpson to Justin Bieber, but Cody explains that their styles are each individual and unique. That doesn’t mean, however, that the two singers aren’t planning on working together. In this interview with andPOP 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.”
Watch below as Cody and @Jordans_life take a phone call from a fan and talk about his upcoming album:
Jason Derulo has been working with comeback star Demi Lovato. Derulo told PopDash about the track and working with Lovato,
“About a month ago in Miami, we were doing a track for her album together, I think her album’s coming out in 4 days. I don’t know if people really know who Demi Lovato is here. In the States she’s really big. She’s a very sweet girl, very passionate about her work, very excited, so I’m glad her record is good.”
The track is on Demi’s new album.
In an interview with The Montreality Show, Mac Miller says his dream collaboration is Andre 3000.
“Definitely Andre 3000. That’s one of my favorite rappers ever. I don’t know, if I could work with him it would be crazy,” said Miller when asked who he’d like to work with. “I don’t really wanna put too much into who I work with because if people don’t wanna work with me or believe in what I’m doing then it’s cool…I mean I already have some tracks in with some legends in the game so I’ve already done things that I never believed I would do before.”
Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston are back in the studio recording. Bieber and Sean have become quite close, with Justin visiting Kingston in Miami after his jet ski crash.
In a post on his Twitter page, Bieber writes, “Had a great studio session with my big bro Sean Kingston and the talented jonathanrotem. Goodmusic.”
The two buddies have recorded together before, and have also toured together.
Alice Cooper is releasing “Welcome 2 My Nightmare”, the sequel to his 1975 album ‘Welcome To My Nightmare’ on October 17. The album features a guest appearance by Ke$ha on “What Baby Wants.”
“I think a lot of my audience is going to go KE$HA!?, but she probably wrote the most disgusting lyrics in the song – we had to rein her in. I like people to know that just because artists are put in a pigeon hole, that doesn’t mean that’s what they are. Give people a little room,” Cooper told NME.
Could a Britney Spears and Lady Gaga collaboration be in the works?
MTV News is reporting that Spears is desperate to work with Gaga, who has previously written three songs for her. Guess the tables have turned!
“Britney is desperate to work with her again. She is very aware of that Gaga is a big threat to her in terms of her longevity in music. She’s fascinated with her and blown away by her music. So far there has been no indication that a collaboration will ever happen. Britney feels like with artists like Gaga and Katy Perry, her days in pop are coming to an end,” says the source to ShowbizSpy.
I die over this news. Unlike Britney’s collaborations with Rihanna or Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha, this would actually be fire. Pure greatness. Gaga would not let her release some crappy collaboration. I think it needs to happen. Now.
Music icons Madonna and Rihanna are the latest pop singers to team up for a new project… to sell coconut water.
According to Billboard, Madonna is an investor for The Vita Coco brand of coconut water, which will feature Rihanna in its national advertising campaign launching this summer.
“Rihanna is a natural fit for the Vita Coco brand and I’m so happy to have her on the team,” says Madonna in a statement.
Rihanna adds, “I love Vita Coco! It’s real coconut water from hand-picked coconuts. It’s delicious and so good for you!”
This seems like a random collaboration, but whatever works for them. I was sort of hoping for a music collaboration or something, but, I guess I’ll take this.
Steven Tyler and Johnny Depp are writing a song together, reveals Billboard.
Depp has confirmed that he and Tyler are hard at work on a new track.
“We’ve been hanging out here and there,” the actor says. ”He’s someone I’ve admired greatly for such a long time. The idea of writing songs with him is a dream come true.”
Tyler, the Aerosmith frontman, said last week that he and the actor have been collaborating in his ‘American Idol’ downtime. “He asked me, he said, ‘I want you to come over’ — he’s got a studio here in L.A. — ‘and see if I’m playing “Seasons of Wither” right.’ I said, ‘Y’know what, Johnny? No matter how you play it, it’s gonna be right. It’s a beautiful thing.”
Tyler also said that he would want Depp to play him in a movie version of his life. When asked about the hypoethetical casting, Depp said, “I’ll give it a shot. Why not?”
I never knew Depp was into songwriting, but the duo seems to oddly fit together and I would think they have the same taste. Can’t wait to hear what this ends up with!
Dashboard Confessional and New Found Glory, two of indie music’s heavyweights, have come together to release a short 4-song EP titled, The Swiss Army Bromance.
The bands have taken an interesting twist with the new release by playing each other’s songs.
The track listing is as follows:
Timbaland has always been known for big-star collaborations, and his upcoming studio album Studio Value II is no exception. The roster features an abundance of guests, with the biggest surprise being Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.
According to chartattack.com, Kroeger, Drake, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Chris Daughtry, Brandy, The Fay and Keri Hilson make guest appearances on Timbaland’s radio platform-spanning follow-up to 2007′s Shock Value, which is out Nov. 23 through Universal Music.
Furtado guests on the album’s first single, “Morning After Dark,” which will be available to buy on iTunes beginning this coming Tuesday (Oct. 27). Furtado previously guested on Shock Value, as did Timberlake and Hilson.
Amid fierce rumors that two of the biggest divas in the industry – Beyonce and Lady Gaga- are teaming up, the truth has finally emerged. It has been confirmed that the two singers have joined forces on a super-secret video for Beyonce’s “Video Phone.”
According to mtvnews.com, a spokesperson for director Hype Williams confirmed to MTV that both Beyonce and Gaga appear in the “Video Phone” clip, which Williams shot last weekend in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighbourhood.
William’s spokesperson would not confirm any additional tidbits about the shoot, but, according to Life and Style magazine, security on set was very tight, and the video is shaping up to be a fashion bonanza, with Beyonce wearing “a feathered dress” and Gaga sporting “something wild … the fashion is sick and insane.”

The line between electro-rock and hip-hop was never exactly straight in the first place, but this year has more or less witnessed its disappearance. The most recent installments in the collabo hall of fame popped up on Pitchfork this week.
First, there was Matt & Kim’s reworked “Daylight (Troublemaker Remix).” Now, this song is perfect just the way it is but with rap legends De La Soul on the remixed track, there is a whole other dimension of mind-boggling pop mastery.
The signature chorus (“Cause in the daylight I don’t pick up my phone”) is looped atop an amplified version of the song’s backbeat, with a spaced out synth riff to boot. In between, De La Soul spit their classic rhymes (“Leave your message after the tone/while I lay around actin’ like I’m too old for this shit”), transforming the song from hair-shaking hipster dance party to a groovy soul redub.
The song will be featured on the NBA Live 2010 soundtrack when the game is released on Oct. 6. It will also appear in every playlist I make for the next month.
There’s little in the music world that excites me more than a good collaboration. Be the unlikely pairing of Eminem and Elton John, or inevitable power tracks from Jay-Z, Kanye and Rihanna (check out “Run This Town” if you haven’t already heard it.)
Recently, though, more than just musical minds have been getting together. So here’s the news.
It seems early to be looking forward to the holidays, but this year I actually have a reason to get excited. Bob Dylan is releasing a Christmas album, according to Pitchfork. No longer will I have to sit through the intolerable holiday stylings of Michael Buble, Destiny’s Child, or Jessica Simpson. At first I was hesitant, imagining his raspy, sarcastic attempts at “Santa Baby” or “Deck the Halls.”
But Dylan’s official website confirmed a more appropriate set list, including “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”, “O Little Town of Bethlehem”, “Winter Wonderland”, “Little Drummer Boy”, and “Must Be Santa.” The album artwork for Christmas in the Heart is also pure class, and will surely stand out amongst the glittery fare normally on the shelves around the holiday time. The album is set for release on Oct. 13 – a little on the early side but knowing Dylan, it will be worth much more than just holiday cheer.
