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.
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.
Former FUGEES star LAURYN HILL left fans outraged by a poor four-song set at her recent California gig, prompting disgruntled concert-goers to demand refunds for their $90 tickets.
The reclusive singer played a rare gig last Thursday at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, but fans were shocked to learn Hill’s performance was over almost as soon as it had started and left the venue complaining about the poor showing.
Local newspaper San Jose Mercury, reports, “It wasn’t just her voice that was shaky. Hill stumbled about the stage and, at one point, actually fell flat on her back – which brought into question exactly what the singer had been doing backstage during the long delay…”
The article also claims up to 100 fans exited the auditorium “grumbling loudly and demanding refunds”.
Hill released her debut solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, but has yet to produce a follow-up to the highly acclaimed LP.

Former FUGEES rapper PRAS has ruled out talk of a reunion with his former bandmates LAURYN HILL and WYCLEF JEAN, insisting negotiations for a comeback are now “dead.”
The Killing Me Softly stars originally split in 1997, but reformed to headline a New York concert for Dave Chapelle’s movie Block Party in September 2004. They went on to open the 2005 BET Music Awards and even released single Take It Easy later that year.
But plans to record a new album have stalled completely, and Pras’ comments suggest Hill is the one responsible for the cancelled project.
He says, “(It’s) straight dead. You know, unfortunately Miss Hill, she got some things she needs to deal with. I wish her the best, but life goes on.”

After years of waiting, hearing rumours, and teases from Wyclef Jean, hip-hop power-group The Fugees has released new material.
The group has been recording together for two months, according to MTV. On Friday, a leaked track called “Be Easy” surfaced online.
Jean told andPOP last September that he had started talking with Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel and that they would regroup in the coming months. Days later, they performed at a bloc party organized by Dave Chappelle, and then again this June at the BET Awards.
MTV reports that the group has tentatively set December 27 as the release date for their next album.
Biggest story of this week is of course Live 8. The most amazing thing about it is not that 10 concerts were held around the world to bring awareness to poverty, but that every possible big name act participated. The biggest artists in the world, in any genre, is arguably Paul McCartney, U2 and Madonna, who all performed in England. After them there could be a number of artists, perhaps Elton John, Coldplay, and a reunited Pink Floyd, who all performed. Even Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, who were not on any bill, was supposed to show up in England to perform with McCartney (though didn’t make it).
The message that we are not living in a perfect world should not be lost, but ponder this: who else in the world can bring together all these A-list artists? Bob Geldof pulled off the miracle of the century (now twice).
The only problem is, was this all for nothing? Remember, there was no number being flashed across the screens to call to donate money, and tickets were free. This wasn’t about money (“We want your voice, not your money,” Geldof said). We’ll see July 6, when the world leaders meet for the G8 conference.
The other big news was the passing of a legend, Luther Vandross. His health had deteriorated since he had a stroke in 2003. He won eight Grammys in his career, four since the stroke. Little was reported about his health over the past year, and many speculated he was improving, so it was a shock to read Friday that he died in a New Jersey hospital.
Randomosity: Get this album right now: State of Mind by Raul Midon. More on him next week? Robin Thicke, AKA Thicke, AKA Alan Thicke’s son, somehow is working with Pharrell Williams on new material, even though nobody cared to buy his first album? John Mayer is now the John Mayer Trio. Hopefully they will stick with quality music as opposed to the soulless “Daughter”-type songs?
Looks like jail for Cassidy won’t help his album sales. His latest album will debut with a respectable number next week, probably around 100,000, but less than his debut album released last year. So much for street cred?
The Fugees getting back together at the BET Awards was my highlight of the week. I just hope they take their time to record a new album. Rushing it would ruin their legacy. What legacy you say? There has never been a hip-hop group to have as much success both as a group and then with solo careers. Well, Pras still has a chance?
Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl is perhaps the worst song to make it onto high rotation since the Macarena. If you keep buying her album, she’ll keep making music….
Last thought on Live 8: 50 Cent pulled out due to a “prior commitment.” Excusable. But if you turned on your Sirius radio to the Slim Shady channel, you would have heard 50 live in studio for 4 hours…
And final thought: Congrats to Frayda and Yoni! See you in New York.
Last year, andPOP broke the news that the Fugees would be reuniting again in 2005. Tonight, we witnessed it as the Fugees performed on stage as the surprise act at the 2005 BET Awards Show.
Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras had fans out of their seats as they opened up tonight’s award ceremony.
The group sang old classics including: Ready or Not, Fu-Gee-La and Killing Me Softly.
Fans haven’t heard any new material from the group since 1996 when they released, The Score, the biggest selling hip-hop album of all time. It won two Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album and Best R&B Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocal, achieved platinum status 6x and sold more than 13,600,000 albums worldwide.
During the groups break, each member pursued a solo career, achieving many awards and setting new records including five Grammy Awards, and a combined 12x platinum.
A new Fugees album could appear in stores as soon as later this year.
