B.o.B And Other Artists Rally To Stop SOPA And PIPA
Wed Jan 18 2012 by Becky Bain
If you tried to visit a number of websites today and were unable to view their content, don't be alarmed: it's due to the protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) bills, which were created to stop online piracy and protect copyright owners, but could allow the government to censor practically anything on the Internet. You'd think musicians would be all for protecting their music from piracy, but artists, such as B.o.B, Kreashawyn, OK Go and more, have made it clear that this bill, if passed, will do more harm than good.

MGMT Cover Bauhaus’ “All We Ever Wanted Was Everything”: Listen
Fri Sep 16 2011 by Robbie Daw
Kid Cudi's pals MGMT released a none-too-cheery album last year (that had what we deemed to be one of the worst album covers of 2010), so it's not surprising that their latest move was to record a cover of "All We Ever Wanted Was Everything" by seminal goth rock band Bauhaus, for the compilation series Late Night Tales. Meanwhile, NME notes that MGMT's next album, due out next year, will be "fun" and "happy." We remain skeptical. Listen to the duo cover Peter Murphy & Co. below.

Kid Cudi Pursues Happiness On Stage With MGMT At The Roseland Ballroom
Sun Apr 24 2011 by Idolator Staff
Former Lonely Stoner Kid Cudi recently gave up the latter half of that moniker by pledging to abstain from the herb, and after sharing the stage with MGMT at the last of three Roseland Ballroom appearances in New York City, he's got no reason to be lonely, either. The duo whose cover art earned the opposite of Congratulations from us on our "Worst of 2010" list joined the 2 Be Continuum member in performing their 4/20-friendly anthem "The Pursuit of Happiness" together for the first time. For your own pursuit of happiness, we suggest you watch the video of Friday's performance below.

The Worst Album Cover Art Of 2010 (PHOTOS)
Tue Dec 21 2010 by Becky Bain
Yesterday we took a look back at the biggest fails from the pop music landscape in 2010, but we easily could have included the following 10 album covers. Whether they were bizarre, badly designed or just straight up stupid, these covers were full of fail in their own unique way. Last year’s title belonged to Cobra Starship’s grotesque Hot Mess, and although this year’s winner/loser doesn’t make us gag in the same way the punk-pop band’s tattooed lip did, it’s still a colorfully ridiculous hot mess. Flip through our gallery (in order of “Sorta Terrible” to “Are You Kidding Us?!”), and to balance things out, check back tomorrow to see some of the year’s best album cover art. More »
The Morning Mix: Chris Brown Enlists Kanye And Drake For “Deuces” Remix
Wed Sep 29 2010 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Chris Brown is readying a "Deuces" remix with no less than Fabolous, T.I., Drake, Kanye West, and André 3000 on the bill. Wow! [Rap-Up]
:: Weezer is reissuing their second album, Pinkerton, with a second disc full of B-sides, live performances and unreleased tracks. Yeah! [Spinner]
:: Florence Welch talks about hugging Lady Gaga's meat dress backstage at the VMAs. Gross. [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: Let's clear this up right now: MGMT did not get soaked in urine during a recent gig. Instead, the band's drummer was smacked in the head with "a celebratory cup of hearty Manchester ale." Yum? [Pitchfork]
:: Some of the names nominated to be inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame include the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J and Bon Jovi—but for some reason, Joan Jett didn't make the cut. We call shenanigans on that slight. Boo! [EW Music Mix]

The Morning Mix: Joe Jonas Is Ridin’ Solo
Tue Sep 28 2010 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Joe Jonas is making like his little brother Nick and planning a solo album, slated for an early 2011 release. The middle Jonas is reportedly seeking a "dangerous sound" with a "sexier, Justin Timberlake" vibe. Ooh, planned edginess! [E! Online]
:: Watch Michel Buble play dress up as Justin Bieber (and poke fun of the Black Eyed Peas' "Imma Be Rockin' That Body" vid) in his latest clip for his song "Hollywood." [EW Music Mix]
:: Get your glow sticks ready—Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy soundtrack will drop November 22, just in time to keep the party going straight through Thanksgiving weekend. [Consequence of Sound]
:: Buzzworthy interviews Trey Songz, who must have summoned the power of Zeus to keep himself from taking his shirt off. [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: MGMT's drummer Will Berman walked out during the band's Manchester show after being hit in the head with an object thrown by the crowd. More offensive to us as music lovers: they played to a backing track of their hit "Kids." Apparently, they still really don't want to play that song live anymore. [Spinner]

MGMT Cross The Desert With A Puppet In “Congratulations” Video
Tue Aug 24 2010 by Idolator Staff
Do MGMT's Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden ever enjoy themselves? Last time we saw the Brooklyn electro-pop duo, they were suffering through a mildly creepy dinner party. Now they're back with the sad, slow clip for "Congratulations", the title track from their sophomore album. Watch Andrew, Ben and their disintegrating prehistoric Dark Crystal-style bird-camel cross the desert. At this point, we think they're trying to bum us out on purpose. When you start featuring sad Muppets, it's just intentional. See below. More »
The Morning Mix: Do Kanye And Justin Know We Already Walked This Way?
Mon Aug 23 2010 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: If you thought Kanye West's evidently-for-real (no, seriously) team-up with Justin Bieber and Raekwon sounds odd, regain perspective by recalling all the other strange-but-true hip-hop collaborations from the past. Yes, Aerosmith and Run D.M.C. are on Popeater's list. [Popeater]
:: A photo history of Mr. West at the VMAs, from his triumphant debut (a performance of "Jesus Walks") to the Hennessy-fueled Swiftgate. [Buzzworthy]
:: Madonna is facing a lawsuit for adopting the name "Material Girl" for the fashion line she started with her daughter. Apparel maker LA triumph claims it and another company have been selling a young womens' fashion line under that name since 1997. But gosh, what could have inspired them to use that phrase? Certainly a huge pop song. [EW Music Mix]
:: Wyclef's longshot bid for the presidency of Haiti isn't quite dead yet. Though the nation's election board disqualified him, he says his lawyers are planning an appeal. [E! Online]
:: MGMT posed at Radio City Music Hall with the friendly monsters of Yo Gabba Gabba. Sadly, they didn't perform "Art Is Everywhere," one of the best pop numbers ever to air on the Nick Jr. show. [Just Jared]
