andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

The boys from Mississauga Ontario are back with their fourth studio album – 1-up. We had the privilege of getting a sneak peak of the making of their video for “Take It For Granted”. Really interesting process to watch and it involved a lot of paint (if you have already seen the video you know what we mean)!

The list of nominees for 2006’s MuchMusic Video Awards was announced Wednesday, with Billy Talent, Kardinal Offishall and Massari leading the pack.

Billy Talent’s video for “Devil in a Midnight Mass” received nominations in five categories, including best video. Kardinal Offishall’s track “Everyday (Rudebwoy)” also received a best video nod, along with four other nominations.

Of this year’s 16 award categories, four will be decided by voters on MuchMusic’s web site: favourite Canadian artist, favourite Canadian group, favourite international artist and favourite international group

The 17th installment of the annual awards show will take over MuchMusic headquarters at Queen and John in Toronto on June 18.
