Not everyone can be in two places at once, but Ludo isn’t everyone. Watch as they almost pull it off by attempting to play two shows in two cities in two days, threaten the welfare of an innocent child on a plane, enumerate the pop culture highlights of Seattle, and literally tell you to go f— yourself. Lovingly, of course.

Watch their fourth tour diary video below, catch up on 1 - 3 here, and check out Ludo’s exclusive photo gallery.

Jason Mraz: singer, songwriter … magician? Apparently, Jason started dabbling in magic (coin tricks, to be exact) while working on his new album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things, out today. In fact, he’s so into his new hobby that he took a magician on the road with him during his Music, Magic & Make Peace Tour.

But Jason’s love for sleight of hand doesn’t end there. He has also released three bonus EPs featuring demos, live performances and acoustic versions of songs that appear on his new full-length studio album. One of those EPs, We Steal Things, includes some “stolen” cover songs.

See what Jason had to say about the connection he feels between music and magic and why he decided that releasing one album’s worth of new material just wasn’t enough.

It’d be easy to say that just because Seattle band the Myriad is this week’s Artist of the Week simply because they won the MTV2 2007 Dew Circuit Breakout competition. It’d be easy, but it’d also be wrong. Their talent, which they’ve been honing as a band since 2002, is what edged out 4,000 hopefuls and earned them the #1 spot in the contest, which searches to find the best breakout bands and acts, like DCB alum Taking Back Sunday, Yellowcard and Hawthorne Heights. That talent, plus their ability to attract and connect with fans via their moody, effortlessly melodic, atmospheric rock is also what nabbed them a spot as MTV’s Artist of the Week.

In person, Tally Hall — much like their new “Good Day” video — changes channels, thoughts and topics quicker than they change keys, styles and genres in their songs, which put the “power” in “power-pop.” (Think Queen, Ben Folds Five, They Might Be Giants and OK Go, but more formally dressed.)

In short, interviewing Tally Hall was not unlike herding singing cats. Good thing they (the band, not the cats) kept their personas straight by wearing their trademark color-coordinated ties, so we could tell them apart as they changed gears. (Chattiest: Joe, red tie.) Also, good thing “cat herding” is basically part of our job description.

Watch our exclusive Tally Hall interview below, and check out their “Good Day” video and exclusive Tally Hall photos.

We, along with half the New York area’s population of 8-to-24-year-olds (and a couple moms) went to the Honda Civic Tour last night at Roseland Ballroom and caught Motion City Soundtrack and Panic At the Disco. We also took our crappy camera, and, accordingly, we have the crappy photos to prove it. (More pix after the jump.)

Last month, we posted Carolina Liar’s debut video, “I’m Not Over,” and some behind-the-scenes footage of the band. That, coupled with the exposure the band received all season long on The Hills, prompted Buzzworthy readers, Hills heads, and new fans of the up-and-coming band to email us, asking where they can find out more about rootsy singer-songwriter Chad Wolf and his band, Carolina Liar.

So, we invited Chad Wolf over to Fort Buzzworthy, where the sweeter-than-Tupelo-honey Southern rocker gave us the abridged version of his musical journey and ascent up the L.A. totem pole to The Hills — from playing coffee shops to a chance encounter with producer Max Martin (the genius “fixer” behind smash hits by Britney Spears, Robyn and Kelly Clarkson), to scoring a spot on the soundtrack to all that delectable, circuitous Spencer-Heidi-Lauren-Audrina drama.

Check out his exclusive Buzzworthy video interview, see more photos of Chad and Carolina Liar here, and get more Hills dirt on the Remote Control blog.

Miley Cyrus, you are a brilliant marketer. “Somehow” some naughty DIY pictures of you in your undies got out last week. (We could almost hear the s— hitting the fan at Disney HQ.) Like the good girl you are, you apologized, and then you raised your own personal bar on half-naked photos by releasing less-slutty pix of yourself, shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for the latest issue of Vanity Fair, putting the “zing” in A-MA-ZING.

And not because we’re creepy, but we clicked through the Vanity Fair photos several times (unlike The Real Housewives of New York “star” Alex McCord’s nudie pics, which we clicked on once and then let out a blood-curdling scream as our corneas ignited) but because we truly didn’t see anything worth apologizing for (except for referring to Annie Leibovitz as “cute.” Oh, and the whole “you’re only 15″ thing is definitely a little weird. As is the photo of you and your dad.)

We’ve got a burning case of Mariah fever, and the only prescription is… more Mariah. Which is good, because MTV News cracked open their video vault, and out poured some seriously old-school Mariah interviews, like one from 1992 (before some of youse was even borned!), back in the days when MTV still had a call-in show called “Rockline,” and a then-up-and-coming Mariah told John Norris she just wanted to be “a singer for the rest of my life.” Uh, done. (Also of note, John Norris’ mustard-colored Color Me Badd blazer, and when Tabitha Soren throws down the gauntlet at the tail-end of this interview.)

Even back in the early ‘90s, when she was just a curly-haired Long Island girl in cut-offs and a hoodie, Mariah Carey — the youngest daughter of a struggling, middle-class broken home — was that chick, destined for a luxe life of Louis Vuitton luggage and Louboutin heels. That larger-than-life voice soared out of our Sony Sports Walkman (remember the banana-yellow ones?) like a supernatural force, and nearly two decades, five Grammys, 11 studio albums, and 18 #1 singles later, that chick’s still rocking iPods and MTV.

With that logic-defying range that glides from whisper-soft-sexy-sweet to match-in-a-gas-tank explosive, Mariah went Unplugged, got animated for Christmas, and took down a cheating Jerry O’Connell at a matinee. She went undercover on a Jet Ski, fled her symbolic wedding, cruised Paris with Pharrell, and lived out a computer geek’s fantasy with a unicorn at her side. She debuted more #1 singles than any other artist in chart history, and she spent more time on the charts and broke and sold more records than half her peers combined.
