We were already fans of The Ready Set here, but we have to let you in on why we're even bigger fans now. We just discovered that Jordan Witzigreuter has a Twitter account... FOR HIS CAT. And he probably has more followers than you.

Wallace (@wallacethecat), seen here in the ballin'-est cat pic to ever hit the Internet, tweets from the comfort of "Jordan's house," as listed on his Twitter bio. (Hint: It's actually Jordan and his bandmates, but let's just pretend, OK?!) "I am the Casanova of cats," Wallace reveals. "I shed a lot and I want to eat your food. I also like to open-hand punch. No opposable thumbs."

What does Wallace tweet about, you ask? Oh, just regular cat stuff:

+ "Anyone need cat advice, hit me up!"

+ "Dear stupid-flying-bug-thing, don't toy with me. I can go from paws to claws in NO TIME!"

+ "Trying to find some pajama jeans so I can look super fly when I sleep too."

Cat advice? PAJAMA JEANS?! We are IN LOVE with Wallace. But that may or may not have something to do with our enormous disturbing tiny obsession with cats here at Buzzworthy... OK, fine -- we love cats! Leave us alone!

Over the course of 2010, we've been able to give you intimate, behind-the-scenes, up-close-and-personal looks at some of your favorite artists on MTV's Posted. The best part about the Posted blogs, tour diaries, photos and videos we've gotten all year is the amount of access to and involvement with the artists. And in the following videos--some of our favorites of the Posted collection--you'll see just how involved.

These videos all have a bit of humor to them and were all partly crafted by the Posted artists they feature.

First we have the band Anarbor interviewing Andrew W.K., one of Ann Arbor, Michigan's favorite sons. In the second video, some of the boys from Paramore show off the punk rock power...of Polka (!?). Keeping with the "keeping it light" theme, find out what happens when We The Kings' Travis Clark gets confused for Ke$ha.

In the fourth Posted video, A Day To Remember gets intimately familiar with the heart-attack-inducing Full English Breakfast. And finally, Jordan Witzigreuter from The Ready Set performs a little improv theater.

Watch some of our favorite Posted videos below and check out photos, videos and read blogs from all these artists and more at Posted.MTV.com.

As our featured MTV Posted artist, we've been overloading on The Ready Set and the band's frontman, Jordan Witzigreuter. And we couldn't be happier.

Central to The Ready Set's rise to fame and fortune is the passion of The Ready Set fans. So, with that in mind, Jordan took some time out to answer some of his fans' questions, in this exclusive fan question interview.

In the first video, Jordan reveals his healthy eating habits and his affection for leafy greens. He also chats about his first job at a coffee shop and how that cafe still laces him with free java when he comes through. Ready Set membership has its privileges!

For the second fan Q&A video, we move on to the music of The Ready Set. Jordan answers questions about his proficiency on a number of instruments and his musical tastes. He reveals that his favorite band is the Florida group Copeland, while the most-played song on his iPod right now is "Save Your Goodbyes," by Buzzworthy favorite Mike Posner.

Finally, in the last video, Jordan gets mad whimsical, doling out some fun facts to the fans. Issues addressed include his cat's name, the existence of unicorns and narwhals.

The Ready Set's Jordan Witzigreuter has been keeping us filled in on his busy life over at MTV Posted. In this entry, Jordan talks about his band's beginnings and the extended Ready Set family, from merch table handlers to business managers. Read Jordan's diary and new photos, and get Ready Set photos, videos and more at MTV Posted.

I feel pretty lucky that I have such a great crew of people involved with The Ready Set. From what I’ve gathered over the past couple years, a lot of bands tend to feel negatively about their label, staff, management, touring crew, etc. It's one thing that I always saw as the first step in what could be a pretty devastating turn in any artist's career.

In 2008 (and up until now, even) I was fortunate enough to meet friends who would ultimately drop their personal lives and join me in a cramped SUV on the road. The idea that there are others who shared a similar faith in what I was doing, to the point of making those sacrifices, is amazing. I think it's pretty cool that even though The Ready Set is my solo project, my touring crew is like a family.

The Ready Set's Jordan Witzigreuter has been keeping us up to date on his busy life over at MTV Posted. And in this brand-new tour diary, Jordan muses on the changes in his personal and professional life, the dislocated feeling that comes with being on the road and how he wouldn't have it any other way. Read Jordan's tour diary and new photos, and get more Ready Set photos, videos and more at Posted.

I’ve begun to feel like I am a nomad. I spend most of my days in airports, airplanes and hotels. Never really any consistency, and home has begun to feel less and less like home. I am, of course, OK with this--more than OK. Everything is exciting and new every day. I get the opportunity to play shows to amazing crowds of people almost every night, and when that's not the case, I’m jumping from state to state to visit radio stations, record songs and pretty much everything else imaginable.

The past three years have been a crazy ride for me, but the past six months have been the best so far. Right now, I’m sitting in my hotel room in Los Angeles. It’s 7:30 a.m., and I’m getting ready to head to San Diego for a radio station visit. I'm getting pretty excited for the Hey Monday tour coming up here; I didn't realize it starts in only 12 days. So much to do before it starts.

The Ready Set's been keeping us more than informed all this month as October's MTV Posted band. For example, Jordan's been trying on different hats, keeping his teeth brushed and shiny, and getting ready for Christmas--even though it's more than two months away. (Don't know WTH I'm talking about? Watch The Ready Set videos below.)

Speaking of Christmas, it's actually coming early. Because The Ready Set will be stopping by MTV next week and answering your fan questions. What do you want to know about Jordan and The Ready Set?

Watch Jordan's open invitation to ask him anything in the video below. And leave your Ready Set fan questions in the comments... And check out more Ready Set photos, videos and more at Posted.

This week's MTV PUSH Artist of the Week is The Ready Set. Over the course of two albums--2009's Tantrum Castle and this past summer's I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming--The Ready Set's main man, Jordan Witzigreuter, has crafted a hybrid pop sound, blending elements of emo, hip-hop, rock and R&B to create a new kind of genre for the "shuffle" generation.

If you read Buzzworthy you already know how we ride for The Ready Set, but if you're still unfamiliar, here's a quick rundown. Largely the work of 20-year-old Indiana-native Witzigreuter, the band releases its albums on Pete Wentz's Decaydance imprint. Its music tends to make you want to dance and pulls at your heartstrings at the same time--but not in a cheesy way. Tough to pull off.

With its infectious single "Love Like Woe" becoming something of a dance anthem, The Ready Set is about to hit the road this fall with Hey Monday. But before you see the band live, why don't you get to know The Ready Set and the man behind its whole sound, Jordan Witzigreuter.

Below are a bunch of awesome videos, including some sketches featuring Pete Wentz (it's about the dirty business of selling records), a fake sneaker commercial and some more characteristically hilarious Ready Set videos. Watch them all now!

When The Ready Set's Jordan Witzigreuter isn't out and about on the mtvU VMA tour, making great albums such as I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming, or making great videos about hoodies with Pete Wentz or videos like "Love Like Woe," he takes time out of his day to answer pertinent and pressing questions submitted by us here at Buzzworthy.

Things get personal fast with Jordan Witzigreuter, as the young frontman talks about how his parents supported his decision to choose music over college, showing their support for his artistic ambitions. That's a pretty unique relationship he has with your folks. If I had done that, my parents would have said, "That's great. We support you. Now get your butt to college."

The head of The Ready Set goes on to discuss who his dream collaborator would be--Jay-Z--and what his nightmare instrument is to play--keyboard, FYI.

Check out our interview with The Ready Set as well as a live performance of "Love Like Woe," both below. I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming is out now.
