+ Go inside the mind of Katy Perry/Kathy Beth Terry in a new interview with the nerdy 13-year-old alter ego. Regarding whether or not we're invited to her next party, Kathy said, "Due to the whole 'grounded for the next 5 years' thing, I'm laying low... The next party will be online, that way you can all come!" Online parties are the best parties. (ONTD)

+ Brush off your Dr. Martens and teenage angst, bros -- '90s rockers Bush are planning to release their first album in 10 years. The Gavin Rossdale-fronted band (now featuring two new members) will release The Sea Of Memories on Sept. 13. (Popdust)

+ Speaking of new albums, if "Come On Eileen" is your favorite "WTF" jukebox selection (like me!), you're in luck. Foursome from the '80s Dexys Midnight Runners are at work on a new material. The still untitled album is due out sometime next year. (Spinner)

Post-hard core can bring out the screaming hair-puller in most of us, so it's great to see a post-HC band like Pierce The Veil, who knows how to have fun with the dark side of music.

Formerly known as Before Today, Pierce The Veil has made two albums of cathartic, highly technical heavy rock. On its recently released Selfish Machines, the group mixes the glam and gloom of My Chemical Romance with the prog-rock fireworks of Dillinger Escape Plan and Coheed And Cambria.

On stage, however, (PTV are road warriors, touring with the likes of Mayday Parade and Devil Wears Prada), the band mixes in contemporary pop classics into its songs, as anyone who has witnessed its takes on Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" and Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" can attest.

Check out Pierce The Veil's video for the 2007 single "Chemical Kids And Mechanical Brides," off the album A Flair For The Dramatic. You can listen to a stream of Selfish Machines and check out all their Warped Tour dates at their MySpace page.

Yesterday, we premiered the first part of Buzzworthy's Fan Interview with Coheed And Cambria. The New York prog-rockers talked about their new album, "Year Of The Black Rainbow," the overarching narrative that runs through all their albums and the band's inherent darkness.

Today we have Part II. In the below video, the guys from Coheed continue to answer the questions from you, the fans. They discuss their musical influences (everything from Nine Inch Nails to Kool & The Gang), and whether their concept albums might inspire a movie some day. Most important, the band members address Claudio Sanchez's hair and what made the singer-guitarist trim his mane.

Check out Part II of Coheed And Cambria's Buzzworthy Fan Interview below. You can watch

We recently sent out a call to all Coheed and Cambria fans to holler at us and submit any and all questions you might have for the mighty New York prog-rock band.

Well, they dropped by Buzzworthy HQ to answer these queries, and we have the video evidence below to prove it. The band talked about their relentless work ethic, with their new album, "Year Of The Black Rainbow," coming on the heels of a rigorous tour. Speaking of "Year Of The Black Rainbow,"  the band discusses the inherently dark qualities of their work and answers questions about the narrative that runs through their complicated concept albums.

With their new album, Year Of The Rainbow, ready to drop on April 13, we thought it'd be a perfect time to ask the hairy men behind prog-rock outfit Coheed And Cambria some questions. But then we thought, wait, why should we do the asking when Coheed fans are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable fans out there.

So that's why we're throwing open the doors of journalism to all you Coheed fans. Ask Claudio Sanchez and the boys anything that comes to mind. Quiz them on the making of their new album and how it differs from their past powerful releases, ask 'em about touring with Slipknot last year. It's up to you.

+ Leave your questions for Coheed And Cambria in the comments section of this post, and stay tuned for the video interview, coming soon. For now, bang your head to their video for "The Broken," the first single from Year Of The Rainbow, and watch Coheed And Cambria's new promo video to find out more about the inspiration behind Year Of The Rainbow.

As you can probably tell by looking at it, there's a lot to be learned from Saosin's (pronounced "say-o-sin") peculiar name. Adapted from Chinese, the first known appearance of the word is in an old proverb that cautions against becoming too attached to anything in this impermanent world. (Bummer, but probably for the best.) It translates literally as "little heart." And while little heart couldn't be any less accurate a description of the Newport Beach-based boys' pleading screamo assaults, they've faced more than their share of impermanence, undergoing three major lineup changes before they even put out their first full-length.

After losing original singer Anthony Green, drummer Pat McGrath and bassist Zach Kennedy, Saosin eventually settled into a more permanent roster of Cove Reber (vox), Beau Burchell (guitar, vox), Justin Shekoski (guitar, vox), Chris Sorenson (bass), and Alex Rodriguez (drums). That's a whole lotta vocals, right? I wasn't kidding when I said "assault." Lately, every Saosin song is a flag-waving, fist-pumping, eyes-clamped, teeth-bared battle cry. A rare quality that attracted the attention of Capitol Records and landed the band on tours with Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed And Cambria, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and tons more. In fact, they're on the road right now with The Used. Here are some dates you can look at while Saosin emote us out with "You're Not Alone."
