Owl City Chats With ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ About His Late Night TV Debut
Tue Jul 19 2011 by Idolator Staff
Owl City lies a long ways from Hollywood, but that didn't stop The Hollywood Reporter from checking in with the bright and beautiful Adam Young (aka the electro-pop artist behind the one-man bird town) about his late night debut on Jimmy Kimmel this Wednesday and the success that has no doubt left him wonderstruck —not to mention the enviable experience of riding in a DeLorean in his "Deer In The Headlights" video. Find out what else is up in Owl City after the jump. More »
Taylor Swift’s New Perfume “Wonderstruck” Totally Inspired By Owl City
Fri Jul 15 2011 by Becky Bain
Taylor Swift is the latest pop star to launch her own fragrance, and we have a feeling her signature scent may smell vaguely like owls. Swift's perfume is called "Wonderstruck", a line that comes directly from her Speak Now song "Enchanted", which was revealed by Owl City's Adam Young (in a super lovey-dovey blog post) to have been about his brief meeting with Taylor in New York. "Wonderstruck" is also a word Young is fond of using, which is how he pieced together that Swift's song was about him. Unfortunately for Adam, this fragrance isn't unisex. [Via PopWatch]

Weird Al Yankovic Brings The Accordion To Pop Music With “Polka Face”
Wed Jun 15 2011 by Becky Bain
We wouldn't exactly call ourselves fans of polka music — that is, not unless Weird Al Yankovic is the one blaring on the accordion. Yankovic's new parody-filled album Alpocalypse drops June 21, and its another boisterous collection of Top 40 hits re-imagined as polka tunes. Listen to "Polka Face" — inspired, duh, by Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" — below the jump. More »
Owl City’s ‘All Things Bright And Beautiful’: Summer Preview
Mon Jun 6 2011 by Robbie Daw
With summer just around the corner, we've decided to take a closer look at the albums the next three months hold in store for the music-loving masses. And first up we have All Things Bright And Beautiful, from laptop maestro Owl City (aka Taylor Swift's pal Adam Young). How exactly will the Minnesota native follow up the surprise success he achieved with Ocean Eyes two years ago? And what precisely does the Alternative Press cover guy have in store for fans of his shimmery brand of escapist synth-pop? So many questions — and we probably won't truly have the answers until the album arrives. But until then, let's take a look below at what we know!

Join Owl City’s Sci-Fi Odyssey In “Alligator Sky” Music Video
Fri May 6 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
It's one small step for Adam Young, one giant leap for the members of the Owl City Galaxy in this science fiction-inspired music video for the synth-pop artist's hit "Alligator Sky". The vid opens with the "Fireflies" crooner dressed in a retro spacesuit exploring a deserted street. (It looks eerily familiar to the Hollywood backlot LMFAO used for their "Party Rock Anthem" block party. That might explain all the balloons and crate paper.) The one-man band and rapper Shawn Chrystopher travel the planet taking copious notes about Earth while collecting various samples. Grab your space helmet and blast off below.

Owl City Has ‘Alternative Press’ Covered
Wed Apr 20 2011 by Robbie Daw
"Alligator Sky" crooner Adam Young—aka one-man band Owl City—graces the June cover of Alternative Press. But even though the cover line for OC's story is "The (Anti)Social Network," we actually found Young to be quite chatty in our own one-on-one with him last summer. The magazine will arrive on stands just ahead of Owl City's summer tour and June 14 release of third LP All Things Bright And Beautiful.
