In the middle of promoting his new film, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Michael Cera sat down with a really crappy camera person for Myspace TV to talk about his Top 5 albums of all time.

Not bad, George Michael. Not bad at all.

TV On The Radio recently took time out of their busy schedule of recording a shit-hot album and then reading the awesome review that followed to make a video for the first single off their latest full length offering, Dear Science.
The video features the TVOTR boys dressed in full monk attire standing on top of [...]

I am going to invent a brand new “Strokes Blog Post Generator” to save bloggers all around the world the time and hassle when reporting any news there is on the highly absent and beloved, Strokes.
1. It’s been ________________ (for example, you could put in “almost three years”. [but this is bound to increase]) years [...]

Horrible title, I know, but you should have seen some of the alternatives: “Jack White: Sugar free, not stirred” and “Jack White Gets A Licence to Kill Calories and Score Another Coke Commercial”. Actually, on second thought they do have quite a bit of zing to them, compared to the rather literal number I eventually [...]

Trail of Dead fans will be pleased to hear that there are not one but two new releases from Conrad Keely, nay, the whole damn band, on the way in the very near future.

Festival in Cincinatti just recently and previewed a bunch of songs off his upcoming album to audience members who will no doubt claim to have liked him before you. Among the usual Bird classics, were new songs titled: “The Master Swarm”, “Anoanimal”, [...]

I’m kind of confused as to whether the sleeve art for Luke Steele’s and Nick Littlemore’s upcoming musical excursion, Empire of the Sun, is the worst album cover of all time or the greatest ever one sheet for the best Henson’s Creature Workshop/Amblin produced 80s fantasy film never made? Wait, it’s definitely the latter.
Look out [...]

Okay, so, dig this. Not only has David McCormack just released his six track EP Cassingle only the other day, but now he’s actually playing a show in the not too distant future. Needless to say, all our Christmasses have just come at once here at 12MC. Thanks Uncle Dave!
Here’s the best part. The show [...]

Well it’s been over half a year since we’ve posted one of our “TGI Covers” and what better way to celebrate its triumphant return than with a good ‘ol fashioned Bob Dylan cover? The cover in question is “I Shall Be Released” and was performed just the other day in Spokane, WA by none other [...]

One of the more hotly debated topics amongst snooty Gen Y-ers such as myself is the age old: “Why does Ben Folds’ solo stuff STINK in comparison to his Ben Folds Five body of work, AKA, ‘The Glory Days?’”. Okay, so “stink” is quite a harsh way to describe the man who once called Adelaide [...]
