Hedley & Cory Monteith on MOD!
Friday, November 20th, 2009
Hello, everyone! My name is Sydney, and I’m one of the new MuchMusic blog correspondents!
Yesterday, I got the awesome opportunity to go to MuchMusic HQ for a very special MuchOnDemand with Cory Monteith & Hedley! I, for one, am a huge fan of both Glee & Hedley, so I knew this was gonna be a great show!
My cousin Alex & I scored a perfect spot behind where the VJs do their interviews. Before we went live, the Floor Directors took us through a series of rehearsals & procedures, just to make sure everything was right. Once we went live, the energy from the audience tripled. You could tell we were all super stoked to see Cory & Hedley up close!

Susan Boyle Album Drops This Tuesday
Friday, November 20th, 2009
What ever happened to William Hung? After butchering Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” in the American Idol auditions, Hung became the most viral overnight celebrity in history. Okay, that’s not a fact, but it seemed like it at the time. So was anyone really surprised when Britain’s Got Talent answered back with Susan Boyle?
Earlier this year, 47-year old contestant Boyle stunned all those who sneered at her appearance during the audition. Her performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables left everyone watching in a state of shock.

Stuff You Should Listen To!
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
Just in case your iPod is looking a little dry these days, might I recommend some tunes for you to spice things up again?
The Sunshine Underground is one of England’s rising musical talents, after capturing the attention of audiences all over Britain in 2005 when the lads won a BBC Battle of the Bands competition. This four-piece band from Leeds released their first album Raise The Alarm (2006) which contained the incredibly catchy songs, “Borders” and “Commerical Breakdown”. The Sunshine Underground has been M.I.A for the last couple of years much to fans’ disapproval, however are in the midst of making a comeback tour. They have recently released their new EP Everything, Right Now, with their feature track “Coming to Save You”. The full second album is anticipated to be released in February 2010. It’s well worth the wait, so don’t get your knickers in a twist!
Fact: The band named themselves after The Chemical Brothers’ song “The Sunshine Underground”, from the album Surrender.
Sounds like: Franz Ferdinand and the Chemical Brothers’ love-child. TSU produces a variety of punk, dance-rock, funk, and indie sounds.

ANTM Finale Recap
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
And the winner is… BLOODY EYEBALL!
Over the course of this season’s America’s Next Top Model, we have witnessed some top model firsts! From having three permanent judges to guaranteed spots for models in the next round to narrowing down the finalists from four to two! The biggest first was of course PETITE MODELS! Girls under the 5’7” mark were allowed to try out for the first ever petite Top Model cycle. Who knew the much shorter girls were the weirder girls as we got Laura, the farm girl with dyslexia from Stanford, Kentucky standing at 5’6” and Nicole, the social outcast who ate lunch in the washroom stalls at school from Louisville, Colorado standing at 5’7” as the top two finalists of this season.

Canadian Talent + Half Decade = WIN!
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
In case you haven’t already noticed, MuchMusic LOVES Canadian bands. I too love Canadian bands. In fact, I truly believe that Canadian bands trump all American, Scottish (-FF), Aussie, and even El Salvadorian bands. I mean, we seriously have so much talent, whether it is recognized worldwide or not.
The point that I’m really getting at is… if you take (in my opinion) the five best Canadian albums of the past 5 years and compare them to some popular albums from the places listed (especially El Salvador), it is clear that we pwn those n00bs. To give you a tasteling of what I mean, I invite you to search up, listen to, and love the best five Canadian albums of the past five years! >:]

disBAND: Mean Tangerine’s Verdict
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
[Catch a repeat of Mean T's disBAND episode on December 2 at 3pm & 11pm ET!]
Well, we got told to disBand. It’s embarrassing as shit, but only cos watching the playback my fly was open the whole goddam time. Joking.. I’m more presentable then that obv. But seriously it sucked, I felt like we killed the song, had the crowd into it, and performed like we always do. The judges obviously know what they’re talking about, but that doesn’t change the fact that we feel we have what it takes. Our moms tell us that all the time, and there’s no way they’re calling my mom a liar. Make sure you fans vote for us to get us back on, at the Much website!!! This is only the beginning!!
If you missed this episode, watch the full thing online now!
