(You're doing great! Not even a week left! It's out June 2nd! Patience is a virtue!) Can you handle more photos of Adam and his perfect hair? Because seriously, you guys had a lot of questions for Adam about his hair... Like a lot.

Christofer Drew, aka Never Shout Never, posted a new photo to his MySpace yesterday afternoon. That's less than 24 hours ago. At last count, the photo had accumulated 3,084 comments (I've had to go back and adjust that number three times since I started writing because it keeps going up). That's just plain mental.
In the photo, Drew stands barefoot on a stool, in a nautical tank top, with his decorated wings spread. He has a peace symbol tattooed on his left foot, but you already knew that. You know because Christofer Drew is a big deal. His Internet popularity is off the charts -- the 283,867 friends and 18,659,515 profile views he's amassed on MySpace have put him among the most buzzed-about bands of 2009. Oh, and his heart-breakingly charming songs don't hurt, either.
What you may not know, is that the MySpace photo that's generating all the comments came from an exclusive MTV shoot with our buddy Brian Appio. Something tells me you might be interested in seeing the rest of the set... Am I right? Why don't you go ahead and do that, and wash it down with a viewing of "Bigcitycreams" below!

Deep DEEEEEEEP breaths, people. Inhale? Goooood. Hold it! Hooooollld! Now EXHALE! Run through the Honor Roll in your head... Ok. Now check out brand-new exclusive photos MTV of Honor Society shot in New York City by photographer Brian Appio (who also shot the Jonas Brothers the very first time they came to MTV in 2006... coincidentally, Honor Society is touring with the Jonas Brothers on their 2009 World Tour, if you haven't heard...)
True fact: Guns N' Roses was playing in the background during Honor Society's photo sesher.

Just unearthed this EXTREMELY old MTV News video interview with the Jonas Brothers. From the looks of Joe's hair, this looks to be of a 2006/ "Mandy," It's About Time/ (Columbia Records = SUCKAHS!)-era Jonas vintage. It also appears as though they're chilling at an H&M.
One of the weirdest things about the interview is that Nick's smiling (!) and laughing (!!) and playing with a random scarf the whole time. The guys also each enumerate the things they're looking for in lady friends. (Joe was into blondes, which was sorta true...)
Watch and be amazed by the mini Jonases who, today, could never in a zillion years just hang out in a regular store. And check out my review of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience!
PS: You definitely know these super old-school Jonas Brothers photos from 2006, but did you know that they were shot exclusively for/ at MTV? Photographer Brian Appio shot the Jonas Brothers back when the guys could still walk the streets freely and could barely get the attention of any music execs anywhere. Brian said the JBs came in just with their dad! Cut to three years (and major security patrol, including Big Rob and the Commish!) later, and he also shot these amazing photos of the guys at the Jonas Brothers Experience MTV special the other week.
