MiNdless BeHaViOr on What 'My Girl' Is All About
It's about a guy who enjoys the luxury having his lady love at his fingertips all the time thanks to technology. It drives his boys crazy, but he doesn't care. When it's her, he's gotta shoot back a reply. It's a love song for our generation.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out and saw me on tour with the Backstreet Boys. It was an amazing feeling finally being able to showcase my new songs for you and to see your feedback. I had the best time of my life and the fans were so positive. I loved meeting all of you after the shows!! I will be back in LA soon to wrap up some new records with Polow Da Don and to get ready for the new single. "Do It Again" is a great radio pop record that you guys are going to love! It's nothing too complicated...its the perfect single to start off my music career. In the meantime, you can preview the single right here on my official website and also watch my new behind the scenes tour video under the "Video" link. Stay tuned for more news!

"Hey Sexy Lady", the debut single from Pentagon/Interscope Records group i SQUARE, is available now on iTunes and Amazon MP3! Executive Producers: Sean "Diddy" Combs and The Pentagon.

It’s a small world and the music biz is even smaller. The story of i SQUARE revolves around a series of chance meetings in a studio owned by the incomparable Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, when several band members were working for the music production collective known as The Pentagon. This was the place where Briddy’s unstoppable energy, Mike J’s smooth R&B sound, 10 Beats’ poetic charm, and Destiny’s boundless pop vocals converged to form music’s newest supergroup.

The fashion-forward quartet describes their mission simply: “We’re into the idea of making “Squares” Cool – for the kids out there who might not be in the “cool clique” but can shine in their own way.” Armed with “Hey Sexy Lady” – a dance floor igniting lead single that showcases each member’s strengths – and receiving the full support of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is executive producing their debut album, i SQUARE is ready to takeover the world. No matter how big (or small) it really is.

Hardee of Paper Tongues Featured on Modern Drummer! | Paper Tongues | News]]> Hey, guys, this is J.R. Hardee from Paper Tongues! I’ve been playing with Paper Tongues for three years, but I’ve been tappin’ them old skins since I was three feet tall. I used to drag out all the pots and pans from my mom’s kitchen and make a drumset out of them. Now I play a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute kit, and it’s sweet because it actually sounds like drum tones instead of the annoying clanging of metal on metal. We all have to start somewhere, right?

I didn’t grow up taking lessons, but I had a natural sense of rhythm from my pops, Ricky Dean, the percussionist/BBQ god, and my poppy Gary, the fishing drummer. Poppy now plays steel guitar and is the proud songwriter of hits such as “Margarita Momma.”

Though I never took lessons, I always looked up to and studied the underground hip-hop community, Carter Beauford, and Jeff Buckley’s drummer, Matt Johnson. With all the amazing opportunities Paper Tongues are getting, I hope to truly inspire kids to play drums as much as these players inspired me.

I’m going to exit now due to the fact that I’m writing this on my iPhone and my thumb is getting tired. I’ll post more down the road. Thanks for reading and hopefully I’ll see you out at a show. Play with your heart and soul, stay in control, and rock ’n’ roll!

Party of 5
By Mikael Wood

Maroon 5’s Glossy, Blue-Eyed Pop-Rock Has Earned It Huge Airplay And Success, If Not The Respect It Feels It Deserves. Enter ‘Mutt’ Lange, Famously Eccentric Superstar Producer. Can He Transform Maroon 5 From Mere Hitmakers Into Rock Stars? 

Adam Levine doesn’t want to sound like he’s complaining. He recognizes that Maroon 5, the Los Angeles-based outfit he’s led for the better part of a decade, has consistently enjoyed the kind of success most bands only dream of: millions of albums sold, multiple Grammy Award wins. Yet on the eve of the release of Maroon 5’s third studio album, “Hands All Over” (due Sept. 21 from A&M/Octone), Levine can’t help but gripe a little.

“The general perception of our band,” he says, “still needs work.”

The 31-year-old frontman is talking about an image issue that’s dogged Maroon 5 since the group’s earliest days, when it broke out with the sleek top five single “This Love.” “On paper we’re really no different than any other rock band,” he says. “We’re a group of guys who’ve been friends for years who write songs and release them. But there’s definitely this strange disconnect over who we are and what roles we play in making our music.” Levine remembers once catching wind of a rumor that Maroon 5 – which also includes guitarist James Valentine, keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, bassist Mickey Madden and drummer Matt Flynn – started out as a boy band.

“I have to admit that’s very frustrating for me,” he says. “I do a lot of work and write the lion’s share of our music. As much as the band plays a huge role in helping me put it together and writing certain parts, it’s all done in-house. No one has ever written a note for this band who wasn’t in the inner circle. I’m not sure people know that.”

It’s suggested to Levine that perhaps what fuels the misunderstanding about Maroon 5 is his place in young Hollywood’s glittery firmament. “That’s probably true to a certain extent,” he acknowledges. “I do feel like if I had long, shaggy hair and wore a hat with a feather in it and refused to do interviews I’d probably have a different reputation. But I look kind of like an architect, so people get confused. I upset their rock‘n’roll norms.”

Those architect looks aren’t all that upsetting to people’s rock‘n’roll norms. Maroon 5’s music, a constantly undulating mixture of rock, soul, funk and pop, does the job pretty effectively as well.

“We’ve always gone through different stylistic phases ever since we started playing music together in seventh grade,” says Carmichael, who formed a group called Kara’s Flowers with Levine, Madden and original Maroon 5 drummer Ryan Dusick when they were still students at L.A.’s Brentwood School. (That group released an album on Reprise in 1997 before morphing into Maroon 5 with the addition of Valentine; Flynn replaced Dusick in 2006.) “One day it’d be Green Day meets Fugazi, then the next Oasis meets the Black Crowes,” Carmichael continues. “It was all over the place, just anything we felt like writing. And that’s still the way it is.”

“It’s the difference between Nirvana and Prince,” Levine adds. “Nirvana is awesome but you sort of know what it is. Whereas with Prince it’s brilliant but you’re not sure what’s going on. You’re like, ‘What the fuck is this?’ It’s a little more abstract.”

The follow-up to 2007’s “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long” (which has sold 2.1 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan), “Hands All Over” hardly nails down that abstraction: Lead single “Misery” is an uptempo disco-rock number streaked with trebly Nile Rodgers-style guitar, while “Stutter” rides a stomping glam-pop groove. Elsewhere, “Don’t Know Much” exudes a dusty retro-soul vibe and the rootsy “Out of Goodbyes” features a cameo by Lady Antebellum. Still, Levine says, there’s a focus to the new set that eluded the band last time out.

“Coming off a massively successful first album, I think we couldn’t help but be trapped in our own heads on the second record,” the singer says. (“Songs About Jane,” Maroon 5’s 2002 debut, is a 4.7 million copies sold.) “We worked with a lot of different producers; there were a lot of cooks in the kitchen. All the songs were good, but there was no central thesis behind the album. It was more just a collection of songs we recorded with people.”

For “Hands All Over” – which will arrive in a standard 12-track edition, as well as a deluxe package with five additional songs – the band elected to hire a single producer, Robert John “Mutt” Lange, a choice that A&M/Octone president James Diener says emphasizes Maroon 5’s identity as a “very successful mainstream pop act that writes and performs its own material.” Diener calls the record a reminder of the days when the Police, Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles ruled the top 40. “With a lot of the pop records flourishing in the marketplace today, it’s more of a producer’s medium than an artist’s medium,” he says. “Maroon 5 is a musical alternative to that.”

Jordan Feldstein, the band’s manager at Career Artist Management, says the time was right to recruit Lange, who’s best known for his multiplatinum work with AC/DC, Def Leppard and his ex-wife, Shania Twain. “He’s been able to take bands who’ve already had success to another level, where they really make their most pivotal and classic records,” he says. “I think Mutt saw in the band a lot of potential as songwriters and musicians.”

“He really felt that the group was poised to make a career album,” Diener adds. “They made an impression on Mutt when they met him, and he realized that the band’s ambition matched his own. Artists always say, ‘Every song has a place on the record,’ but it doesn’t always happen. To have 11 or 12 songs and each one be worthy enough to release as a single or an emphasis track, that’s always been Mutt’s methodology. I’d imagine it’s difficult to find an artist with an equivalent determination.”

“He helped make the songs more straightforward,” Levine says of the Mutt Lange experience, which found Maroon 5 trading L.A. for Switzerland, where the reclusive producer operates his studio on the shores of Lake Geneva. (Lange declined requests for an interview.) “What we do is very simple, and he helped us narrow it down a little bit and make it more cohesive. He said, ‘Listen, you guys need to make sure you’re writing the best material you can.’ He pushes you hard. It made me realize that no one has ever really pushed me before. He was the first guy who was unafraid to say, ‘This isn’t good enough. Try again.’”

The singer remembers presenting the album’s title track to Lange. “He said, ‘I like the drums and the riff; strip it down to that and start over.’ I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but I didn’t. I started over, and then a new, much more amazing song came out.”

“It wasn’t always fun,” Carmichael admits. “For sure, there were moments that required you to bang your head up against the wall. But I like to think that all the energy and the time and the effort we put into the songs translates into something that has the ability to affect somebody.” He laughs. “Adam got into a Twitter fight recently with Deepak Chopra about a tweet of Deepak’s where he said something like, ‘All true good work flows effortlessly.’ And Adam was like, ‘That’s not true, bro. Some work requires serious blood, sweat and tears.’”

“Mutt got some amazing stuff out of the band,” says Mike Shipley, who mixed “Hands All Over” and has worked with Lange for more than 30 years. “There are some phenomenal vocals from Adam, and the musicianship and songwriting hit a new level all the way around. Everything was just upped.”

Despite that insistence on Lange’s brand of sonic perfection, Sam Farrar of Phantom Planet, who co-wrote “Misery” with Levine and Carmichael, says “Hands All Over” returns to “the everyday person vibe they had on the first album.” “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long” presented a slicker image, with the musicians wearing tailored suits and precision-crafted haircuts. “They’re back to having fun, acting like college students,” Farrar continues. “People like that. We want to put artists on a pedestal, but we also want to relate to them, and I think this record gets back some of that.”

“The aesthetic on the second album was maybe a little inaccessible,” A&M/Octone executive VP/head of promotion Ben Berkman says. “But now I think they’ve got that thing where actors hit their 30s and they’re actually hipper and hotter than ever. Think about how young girls freak out about Brad Pitt. I think Adam’s kind of becoming that guy.” Berkman spoke to Billboard from Miami, where the band had just completed an in-studio Q&A with listeners of that city’s top 40 station WHYI. “It was a huge success,” he says, “and it definitely represented the young end of the station’s audience.”

Showcasing the humans behind the hits is central to the rollout of  “Hands All Over.” Last month Fuse televised a concert the band played at New York’s Beacon Theatre, “and we used that as an opportunity to do an old-fashioned junket,” Berkman says. “We brought in a lot of programmers and took them to dinner and the show and then to a party with this band. And that wasn’t to stroke their egos. It was about, ‘Hey, guys, you may not remember how many big songs this band has and how unbelievable they are live, so we want you to see it for yourself.’ All I heard all night was, ‘Dude, we forgot how exciting Maroon 5 is.’”

Berkman admits he faced initial resistance getting the band back on top 40 radio following the three years since “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.” “There’s been some skepticism from PDs who are unsure how to program ‘Misery’ in a set with Ke$ha and Jason Derülo and Lady Gaga,” he says. “Or who are unsure if they even want to.”

“Maroon 5 presents a big challenge to certain rhythmic-leaning pop stations that are used to playing club-oriented records,” Diener adds. “But once the records do go on, they seem to stick out like a sugar-coated sore thumb. If we can get them to take a chance – and it seems odd to say ‘take a chance’ with an act that’s sold 10 million records – the band does connect, which suggests that maybe the audience has a thirst for more variety than station are inclined to presume.”

“Misery” is No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, and follow-up track “Give a Little More” debuts at No. 86 this week. “All that skepticism eventually went out the window,” Berkman says. “And those people who were like, ‘Yeah, we’re not sure,’ became coverts. Radio needs hits from stars, from bands people know. You look at the chart right now and it’s like, ‘Sure, this artist has hits, but does anyone know who he is?’ Everyone knows who Adam Levine is.”

To keep the band’s profile high, Feldstein says the act will be on the road for much of the next year. Its current U.S. headlining tour hits Indianapolis Sept. 1, after which a break is planned for promotional duties around the album’s release next month; another round of American shows begins Oct. 6 in Santa Barbara, Calif. Next year the band will play Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, then head back to the States for another run, according to Feldstein. Release week TV engagements are scheduled for “Today,” “Late Show With David Letterman,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!.” “Chelsea Lately” and “Tavis Smiley.”

The message throughout these appearances? That not unlike Blondie 30-something years ago, Maroon 5 is a band. “It’s the reason we make a point of having them do some sort of performance in their videos,” Feldstein says, “and why their Rolling Stone cover had all five members on it, and why we’ve never gone out to the third-part writers du jour. We’ve really tried to maintain the idea that this is a self-contained unit.”

New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica says hiring Lange should help get that point across, though not necessarily to the broad base that Diener and Berkman say they’re courting. “It’s been a while since Mutt Lange had a real trademark sound that people got behind,” he says. “So to go back and choose him, rather than choosing someone more of the moment, that to me is a real signifier to AOR fans, people who are into late-‘70s/early-‘80s stuff. You’re basically sending a smoke signal to that audience: ‘We like what you like. We like the songs that you like. We’re interested in being a band that’s like the bands you used to like.’”

If that turns out to be the case, Feldstein acknowledges that there are certain advantages to Maroon 5’s in-between status among younger listeners. “I don’t think our fan base minds if we license music,” the manager says. “Kings of Leon didn’t license their music to ‘Glee,’ but we can do more stuff like that and reach people we might not normally reach.”

However far “Hands All Over” goes toward solving Maroon 5’s perception problem, Levine feels the band’s longevity is already beginning to pay off. “You get to a point where you can outlive your criticism, and I think we’re starting to turn that corner now,” he says. “People are saying, ‘Wow, this isn’t a flash in the pan – this is a band that’s been around through other bands’ rising and falling.’

“At the end of the day it’s about whether or not the music resonates with people,” he continues. “Are people showing up to our concerts? Are they buying our records? That’s all that matters.”

***Pre-Order Hurley Now! Many variations and permutations to choose from! Exclusive new T-Shirts!***

Leeds was phenomenal, lets see what Reading's got!

(later...)

Well, Reading had a lot. A whole lot of love. And a whole lot of people, more than at Leeds, if that is even possible. Maybe it was my congested sinuses or my pharmacy-bought "Mucus" brand cough syrup talking, but I swear it looked as if you could see the curve of the earth, such was the sheer girth and breadth of the crowd. Monumental! And this monumental crowd gave it all, and Weezer gave it right back at them. The set felt smoother, more confident, and just plain excellent tonight. Rivers gave his all again, exploring new forms of spontaneous madness as he scurried to and fro, getting down and (literally) dirty with the crowd.

After the show Rivers had interviews with a number of reporters, including one from BBC 6 Radio. He also had a photo shoot with Rock Sound magazine.

Today we had a bit more chill time and we got to see the re-ignited fury of Limp Bizkit and take in the hazy vibes of Cypress Hill. After Weezer, Paramore played a hyperactive set and we caught a bit of our budrows Blink before we had to roll back up to London to start packing for the return flight to the US and A. Thank you UK fans, for making our 1st foray back to England in 5 years so fun!

***Pre-Order Hurley Now! Many variations and Permutations to choose from! Exclusive new T-Shirts!***

...After a day of rest, frolic (example here) and a Black Cab Session in London, we took a late night bus ride North to Leeds, where today, after a successful stop to exchange some corn, we are heading over to the Festival to rock out. Also on the bill today are last years tourmates Blink-182, the resurrected Limp Bizkit, and Paramore, whose singer Hayley once guest starred on our stage last fall in NYC.

(later..)

Rolling into the Leeds Festival area on the double decker tourbus brought back vivid memories of past Euro and UK tours, the exact feelings that were recently summed up in the new song "Memories". Not that we saw piles of freaky Dutch kids getting down in the woods today, but the skinny winding roads, quaint stone farmhouses and olde forests of England really struck a chord. Once we got settled in, the pre-show preparations took a fun turn when Rivers sorted out how to set up a live video stream from the dressing room on Ustream. Today also was a day of reunions and old friends, with fun times with the guys from Blink, Hayley from Paramore, Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit, our early 2000's label head Jordan, and our early 2000's tour manager Gus all on the scene.

The show was almost too big! There's something almost daunting looking out upon a scene where you cant take it all in because it falls over the horizon, a sea of people on an endless sloping hillock. But it was awe-inspiring at the same time. And the people out there were having it - they had waited 5 years for weezer, and they knew it was time to get crazy! And Rivers and the boys brought the insanity they needed. Ridiculous! Great times.

Postshow, Rivers and Pat did some interviews with the likes of NME and BBC Radio 6. Another one too but I missed that one.
