Hear OK Go, Weezer And Hayley Williams Pay Homage To The Muppets
Tue Aug 16 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
It's time to play the music — of the Muppets cover compilation The Green Album, that is. As we've previously mentioned, the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational LP won't be hitting stores until next Tuesday August 23. However, you can preview every track, including OK Go's "Muppet Show Theme" and the "Rainbow Connection" collaboration from Weezer and Hayley Williams, over at NPR. While we're sure Statler and Waldorf will hate this album, we're loving these reworkings of infamous Muppet tunes.

The Best Cover Art Of 2010 (PHOTOS)
Wed Dec 22 2010 by Becky Bain
We’ve been a bit moody this week, detailing the major fails of pop music in 2010 — which includes these 10 terrible album covers. We don’t want to be an office full of Scrooges so close to Christmas, though, so we decided to focus on the positive and pick what we thought were the 10 Best Album Covers from the past year. Some were funny, others were thought-provoking, and many were just straight-up gorgeous — flip through to see some of the most striking paintings and photos to hit CD sleeves the past 12 months, ending with our (candy-scented!) favorite. And congrats to Kanye, who appears on both our Best and Worst Cover Art list! As if he hadn’t already received enough accolades this year. More »

Last night, a star-studded cast took the stage at L.A.’s Wiltern Theater to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a live tribute show. Recast in the musical’s infamous roles were Glee’s Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison (playing Brad and Janet), Danny Devito, Jack Nicholson, the poisonous Nicole Scherzinger, Julian McMahon as Dr. Frank N. Furter, Evan Rachel Wood as Magenta, and the face of Weezer’s Hurley album, Jorge Garcia, as Eddie! Even late night host George Lopez donned a pair of fishnets for the production, which benefited The Painted Turtle organization.

Weezer Offered $10 Million To Break Up
Tue Oct 5 2010 by Becky Bain
A Seattle resident named James Burns says he hopes to raise $10 million in an online campaign to offer Weezer to break up and stop recording music. "I am tired of my friends being disappointed year after year," he writes. "I am tired of endless whimsical cutesy album covers and music videos." Most confounding is his admission: "I have never been a fan of this band." Then why care so much? So far $150 has been donated to the cause, but for all you who think Hurley isn't half bad, you have the rest of the week to enter BuzzMedia's contest to see the band live! [Pitchfork]
