| 20 Questions interview with Hayley |
[May. 23rd, 2012 | 12:07 am] |
from buzznet:
You guys are working on your new album, I heard that it's being produced by Meldal-Johnsen, who most recently worked on M83's albums. How was it working with him on this album and how would you compare it to previous albums? At this point, we have recorded one song with Justin. That time in the studio was easily the most relaxed, inspired, and liberating experiences we have had in any studio thus far. We are huge fans of his work not only as a producer but as a musician, writer and musical director. He wears all those hats well and with a lot of humility. What is the main inspiration behind the new record? I am laughing things off a lot more easily these days than I was at 19, when I wrote the last album. A lot of change... a lot of positivity. Even the songs with the more serious subject matter feel less toiled and troubled. Musically, I am most inspired by the personality captured in every instrument. That, to me, is actually what is making up this newer sound that is happening.

Which Artist Will Break Jay-Z's Live Concert Record At The OMAs? -by Nichole James
So we've already told you guys about some cool-ass s*** that's gonna go down at the O Music Awards this year – MTV’s going to attempting to break another world record! As we previously told you, one courageous musical act is hitting the road in an effort to beat Jay-Z's current record of the most live concerts in 24 hours in multiple cities. The artist will board a bus and zigzag across the southeast hitting a total of eight cities, starting in Memphis and ending in New Orleans. Oh, and it's gonna be the world’s first 24-hour, livestreamed awards show, so you can watch the whole thing the real time. Breakin' records all over the place.
Now, naturally we can't stop wondering who this artist is going to be. We'll find out Wednesday, May 23, who these brave heroes are, but being on the inside of things at MTV, we’ve come across some solid clues as to this mystery musician’s identity. Here’s what we’re thinking
1.) What if it's Jay-Z trying to break his own record?
2.) Better yet -- what if Beyonce's trying to break her husband's record! (BRB, booking a Memphis hotel.)
3.) Or -- and I just gave myself a heart attack thinking about this -- what if the OMAs mark a Britney-Justin Timberlake duet!?!?!? They ARE from the South! You never know.
4.) Paramore! They’re also from the South, and they’re heading out to the UK this summer, so maybe this would be a warmup?
Who do you think will attempt to break Jay-Z's record of the most live concerts in 24 hours in multiple cities for the O Music Awards? You'll find out Wednesday, May 23, but in the meantime, guess away!

MTV said this attempt will happen on June 27th. And according to site for the Guinness Book of World Records, Jay Z was able set the record with 7 concerts in a single day back in 2006 (link). |

| Don't bother asking Nate from Fun for info about the new Paramore demos |

Two things from a interview with Nate Ruess with NME...
-Asked about the performance, Ruess said: "I think it went well. It was a pretty hectic morning, we were never sure how linking Hayley into the show was going to go, it seemed like a pretty daunting technological task."
-Ruess added that though they'd performed on stage many times with Williams, this is the first time they'd arranged something together. He added: "We've never worked together, she'd always come up and sing with us when we were on tour, so we've sort of worked together."
Then asked if he'd heard anything of the new Paramore record or if he'd be making an appearance, Ruess said: "I'm not going to be involved at all. I'm going to be a fan from a far. I think we might meet up in L.A and hang out in a few weeks, but I like to stay as far away as possible from any artists who are friends. I refuse to listen to demos, so I've not heard anything."
