Looks like the “Superbad” actor Michael Cera has released a surprise album. My first thought was, “This is probably going to be so hipster that it hurts.” “True That” has 18 songs that can be streamed via Bandcamp. It is currently categorized as Indie-Folk and consists of full songs that include vocals, yet many tracks are solely melodies. Take a listen and tweet THEPOPFIX your opinion of Cera’s jam session-like album.

The musical comedy stylings brought to you by The Lonely Island will soon be appearing on a movie screen near you.

Now Universal is giving them the chance to shine on the big screen.

Our nation is bipolar, one day we are in favor of Barack Obama and the next day we are not.

The Redland is inviting their fans into the production of their music.

“Weird Al” isn’t the only one using celebrity cameos in their latest music video. Jenny Lewis, formerly of Rilo Kiley, has called upon Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart and Brie Larson to become her band. In the music video for “Just One of the Guys,” Lewis and her friends attempt to break down some gender barrier walls. At the start of the video you are instantly reminded of Robert Palmer’s video for “Addicted to Love,” but quickly enough things get macho!
