So let's just go ahead and call this week's roundup the "Weekend Edition," in which we nostalgically celebrate the Web's best content since Monday.

1.) Guess who was at the premiere of "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never"! If you guessed the most rando celebs EVAR!!!, such as Mario Van Peebles and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, then you would be a winner. But you know who wasn't there? You, probably. Oh, burn. (Buzzfeed)

2.) Funnyman Zach Galifianakis has released another edition of his fake talk show "Between Two Ferns," this time featuring MTV reality star Tila Tequila and some other actress...what's her name, I forget? Oh yeah, Jennifer Aniston. (Funny or Die)

3.) This is possibly the coolest website ever. Play any number of these videos at the same time, starting them whenever, as loud as you want, like seriously do whatever, and I promise you it will sound AMAZING, like some next-level indie-movie soundtrack. Trust. (inbflat.net)

4.) 2011 mtvU Woodie nominee B.o.B thought it would be really cool/funny/mind-blowing to perform his hit song "Airplanes" on an airplane. And he was right. (Idolator)

5.) Hipster Little Mermaid is my favorite LOL of the week for two reasons. 1: "Part of Your World" was THE defining Disney song of my generation, and 2: She kinda looks like me. (Tumblr)

6.) Travis Barker, he of the many tattoos, has remixed Kanye West and Jay-Z's boast track "H.A.M." And it goes a little something like this. (Rap-Up)

7.) The Glee kids are going on tour all over this fair continent of ours ("ours" referring to those of us in North America... sorry Chile!), and ZOMG here are the tour dates. (Vulture)

8.) As you may know, even though he currently does not, Jon "Hammsome" Hamm is my husband. And this week he was in my neighborhood repeatedly saying the word "butthole" in the context of the alternative rock band The Butthole Surfers. Paul Rudd was there too. Good times. (Huffington Post)

9.) The glittery electro-pop kids in Passion Pit have remixed Bruno Mars' newish track "Grenade," and it is amazing, just the way you are. (Nylon)

10.) Kittens Riding A Roomba. 'Nuff said. (Urlesque)

Now that there's so much candy-coated, sugar-rush imagery associated with Katy Perry's summer jam to end all summer jams, "California Gurls," it's easy to forget there's a really, really catchy song underneath. Added to which, the song is so dang popular that it's already reached that point where you can't go anywhere without hearing it anymore, you know? Kinda like what happened to Outkast's "Hey Ya."

Well, leave it to the boys in the indie-dance band Passion Pit to rediscover and reinvent "California Gurls," making it awesome all over again.

The original version is a bouncy, funky, infectious piece of pop. On Passion Pit's remix, the song becomes a moodier, more club-friendly track that feels a little like Shannon's '80s freestyle classic, "Let The Music Play," which, if you recall, Jordin Sparks redid.

Check out the remix below, and watch a three-pack of seriously awesome videos: Katy's "California Gurls," Passion Pit's "Little Secrets" and Shannon's "Let The Music Play."

+ Today is Earth Day, and plenty of musicians are doing their part; going green, recycling, saving the whales. Your typical world-saving stuff. John Legend, The Roots, Passion Pit and Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy) will be gathering at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for a Climate Rally. (MTV News)

+ Green Day's Broadway production of "American Idiot" premiered on April 20. Billie Joe Armstrong called it the "highest moment we've ever had as a band." Check out pics from the first performance. (Idolator)

+ The Internet rumor mill went into overdrive recently, regarding Rihanna's Monday evening hospitalization. But reps for the "Rude Boy" singer say it's nothing serious, just a dinged rib. (Just Jared)

+ Kelly Clarkson has chosen to cancel a live show in Jakarta, Indonesia, rather than have said concert be sponsored by a cigarette company. (PopEater)

+ Over the weekend, at Coachella, Katy Perry is rumored to have jokingly asked Lindsay Lohan to be her maid of honor at her wedding. The humor was lost on Lohan who allegedly started telling everyone at Coachella that she was to be part of Perry and Russell Brand's wedding party. Ouch. (LimeLife)

I don't know about you, but I am so glad Coachella is over. I'm not trying to be a hater or anything, but I was about to hurl myself out a window if I had to read one more "Muse is changing my life!" or "Jay-Z and Beyonce are totally side-stage, watching Phoenix right now!" tweet-slash-status message from all my friends who ventured to Indio, California, without me over the weekend.

Yeah, I'm a green-eyed monster. What?

I might be bummed that I missed what I heard to be amazing performances by Passion Pit, Avett Brothers and La Roux, but I'm mainly pissed that I wasn't able to play one of my favorite festival games: Spot The Celeb With The Worst Festival Fashion Sense.

However, thanks to the art of concert photography, I can play the at-home version of Coachella. Allow me to introduce you to the top 5 fashion trainwrecks spotted at Coachella. Please hold your applause until the end of the jump!

Earlier this week, we gave you a sneak peek at Passion Pit's "Little Secrets" video. Now, as promised, we bring you the entire finished product.

Directed by Timothy Saccenti (who helmed Battles' incredible "Atlas" video), "Little Secrets" follows the well-worn Passion Pit recipe: take a girl, have her walk around, film in a cool way, bon appetit!

"Little Secrets," which is from Passion Pit's lovely Manners album, gives a little more than the band's previous, eye-catching clip for "The Reeling," which follows a girl through a quick supermarket run and into an abandoned warehouse, where people wearing bags over their heads are watching Passion Pit perform. Totally normal, right?

Not to be a spoilery, but the crowd loses their drab head-wear and gets into the moment, dancing along to the uplifting synth pop anthem. Whew!

Check out the video for Passion Pit's "Little Secrets" below.

Tags Passion Pit, video

Behold! A 30-second (well, 33 seconds for all you detail obsessives) sneak preview of the new video "Little Secrets," from Brooklyn indie-electro favorites, Passion Pit.

The torn-paper aesthetic of their wonderful clip for "The Reeling" (taken from their 2009 Manners album) established them as a force to be reckoned with in the realm of music videos. So we've been waiting with ever decreasing patience for them to return to the screen.

"Little Secrets" starts out with the familiar Passion Pit video trope of a girl walking. Over the buoyant, '80S keyboard-drenched melody, a woman does a little shopping and wanders into a Passion Pit performance taking place in a dark warehouse full of people wearing paper bags on their heads. Might sound a little creepy, but it actually looks pretty snazzy. And it looks like we're in for another winner here.

Check out the sneak peek below, and enjoy another trip around the proverbial block with "The Reeling." Keep your eyes peeled for the full-length video, coming soon.

The 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards are happening now in New York City -- a mash-up of music's famous faces, and on-point performances. And we're liveblogging it all on the MTV Buzzworthy blog. Stay here for the backstage, birdseye, and middle-of-it-all 2009 mtvU Woodies report. And watch the 2009 mtvU Woodies Friday, December 4, at 10 p.m. ET on mtvU, MTV, MTV2, and Palladia.

10:51pm -- We're off to the after party, see ya, it's been a blast! For more Woodies gossip, party reports and general madness check in with Buzzworthy tomorrow or check out highlights from the show on the Woodies site right now. We have tons of photos, red-carpet looks, rehearsal performances (some of which you saw here earlier today) and more. PEACE!

10:23pm -- Matt & Kim can't go anywhere without throngs of admirers following them. They're pretty much the Brangelina of the Woodies. Except they don't own several kids and possibly hate each other.

10:14pm -- Alexa Chung is swaying along to "Treat Me Like Your Mother." Jack White looks like a cross between a pissed-off vampire and The Crow. In a way that works, though.

10:09pm -- The Dead Weather is taking the Woodies to the church of bad news on all-white instruments. Allison Mosshart's on a square guitar, and I'm pretty sure it's got the devil inside.

10:04pm --Mary-Louise Parker drops an eff-bomb while intro-ing the Dead Weather! RAWK!!!!!!

10:02pm -- Kid Sister and Kim (of Matt & Kim) are exchanging phone numbers on the floor, David Cross is catching up with Matt Pinfield, and Leighton Meester and Cyndi Lauper, present, and they're each dressed totally future-forward. They're dropping Woodie of the Year.

9:51pm -- Jamie Tworkowski wins the Good Woodie for To Write Love On Her Arms, and dedicates the award to people battling depression and drug addiction.

9:43pm -- Cam'ron drops some knowledge on the Clipse. The vibe is straight-up old-school -- no tricks, no autotune, no stunts. Just hype hip-hop. And RICK ROSS , bossin' behind shades, centerstage. Appropriately the crowd is dancing on barstools.

9:37pm -- The men of Passion Pit are launching tiny burgers into each other's mouths and ordering extra whiskey shots. A saucer-eyed, autotuned Janelle Monae intros the Clipse as the crowd yells out "You're beautiful!"

9:33pm -- Matt & Kim win Video Of The Year, and as their friends in the crowd toss their drink about 40 feet in the air, M&K bypass the stairs, crawl on top of the crowd, and rush the stage. They accept the award, thank pretty much everyone in one swoop, and Kim takes another dive off the stage.

9:27pm -- Death Cab just performed meet "Meet Me On The Equinox" to a mesmerized crowd but pretty much got the U2 reception when they did "Sound of Settling"

9:23pm -- MTV alumni Jon Norris and Matt Pinfield are catching up on the floor.

9:18pm -- David Cross has crown shoved into his pocket, and he's telling a Tom Cruise Scientology joke, for those of you who don't know what Dianetics is.

9:12pm -- Overheard, P.O.S telling someone "I just hope I looked cool," after someone congratulated him on his performance.

9:10pm -- P.O.S.just rapped over live flipcup percussion.

9:06pm -- Asher Roth gives out the Best Performing Woodie to Green Day. They're not here to accept so Asher stagedives instead.

9:04pm -- I'm down on the floor where all of the talent's seated, not at tables but at dozens of narrow glittery bars. There's a 1:2 ratio of kegs to celeb bar, and Oh The Story has their own personal shot waiter. Wisely, one member of Oh The Story cut himself off and ordered a diet coke.

9:00pm -- A production assistant carrying the next Woodie just rushed the award backstage.

8:59pm -- David Cross and the Clipse are having a heart-to-heart. Intense!

8:57pm -- Just walked by David Cross, who's dressed like he's going to a Superbowl party.

8:55pm --  Alexa Chung gives out the Best Music On Campus Woodie -- an award she promises will lead to getting laid more -- to an ecstatic Hotel Of The Laughing Tree whose friends are freaking out on the floor behind me.

8:46pm -- Amber Tamblyn intros Passion Pit via Twitter. Passion Pit is clearly a crowd favorite -- we've got people on top of people's shoulders, air drumming (like the Rush scene in "I Love You, Man," but far far cooler...)

8:42pm -- 3Oh3! is presenting the Left Field Woodie... DRESSED AS LADY GAGA AT THE VMAS!!!! The red dress and the white bird's nest mask thing! Reference was made to soiled panties! :O  Tech N9ne wins it and makes a Woodie joke and drops a KRS-One lyric!!!

8:28pm -- Never Shout Never has the shortest acceptance speech ever: "Power to the people!" Talks least, says most!

8:26pm -- Zooey Deschanel, darling as always in a darling dress, cracked a joke about not taking off her clothes as they swept up Matt & Kim's castoffs. She's presenting the Breaking Woodie Award, which goes to Never Shout Never!

8:23pm -- Pete Wentz, red solo cup in hand, is going rogue. Give that guy a mic and he'll take a mile. He just cracked a swine flu joke and dropped the "douchebag" bomb as he kicked off the 2009 Woodies!

8:21pm -- How'd do you get to college parties? BIKE there! Matt & Kim just biked here from Brooklyn straight into the lobby of the Woodies. They brought some friends who aren't just singing backup, they're stripping down to their skivvies for lessons learned. Undies party!!! Extra points to Kim -- she jumped up onto the drumkit and WALKED ON TOP of the crowd!!!!

8:15pm -- Jack White and the Dead Weather didn't walk the red carpet -- they basically ran it. Jack White needs a role in "Eclipse." Dude is whiter than a natural-born Cullen.

8:10pm -- Never Shout Never's Christofer Drew wins Best Dressed at the Woodies. Hands down. That Mickey Mouse sweater deserves its own award.

8:03pm -- Woah... Nick Cannon just ran down the red carpet! No sign of Mariah Carey...

8:01pm -- What's a college party without flipcup! The mtvU Woodies have their very own flipcup game going on at one of the bars. Kenna, just took aim. Isn't that how you get swine flu?

6:58pm -- The red carpet is under way, and I just caught up with breaking band Sparks The Rescue, who informed me that votes aliens are the new vampires.

Dance-punk's getting its due with Matt & Kim's performance, the night's gonna get futuro-electro with Passion Pit, but the 2009 Woodies are also going to bring a heavy dose of hip-hop and by heavy I mean Rick Ross the boss, who's joining the Clipse on stage tonight for their performance of "I'm Good." They'll also perform "Popular Demand (Popeyes)" with Cam'ron. And while many of the Woodies' nominees and performers may be new to you, the Clipse -- Pusha T and Malice -- have been quietly pumping out some of the realest, sickest, and smoothest lyrics (without hiding behind vocal distortion) for over a decade.

Unfortunately their record label experiences have been packed with more drama than the guiding light. But Malice and Pusha T have pushed on. If you slept on the Clipse until just now, wake the hell up, because win or lose, this is hip-hop -- and the Thornton Brothers' -- night too. Don't miss Clipse's live performance with Rick Ross and Cam'ron -- at the 2009 mtvU Woodies. Check out a rehearsal clip of the track, "Popular Demand (Popeyes)."

Watch the 2009 mtvU Woodies Friday, December 4, at 10 p.m. ET on mtvU, MTV, MTV2, and Palladia.

Apologies in advance for the bad food analogy I'm about to make. Clearly I'm bitter about the free bag of generic popcorn I just inhaled for lunch (with "insert brand name of prescription drug you can't pronounce" printed on the bag). Anyway, you could kind of liken the Florida music scene to a Cracker Barrel menu. Don't get me wrong: I am ALL for some Hickory Smoked Honey Glazed Ham (Backstreet Boys) and cheese grits (Matchbox Twenty).  And who knows? Maybe I want to wash down my chicken 'n dumplings (2 Live Crew) with some box wine (Dashboard Confessional).  But Miami synth-rock/electro-pop act Awesome New Republic seems to have just the right amount of pop amazingness without sounding trite (think the electronic bits and driving beats of Miike Snow blended with the psychedelic sweetness of Passion Pit).

Earlier this year, Awesome New Republic -- John Hancock, Brian Robertson, and newly-added-for-tour Jorge Rubiera -- had a Perez Hilton pop moment when P'rezzers posted a Leighton Meester cover of their track "Birthday." Side note: Leighton seems to have a knack for hanging with the boys (not that way, pervtown), as evidenced by this summer's smash Cobra Starship collabo "Good Girls Go Bad" to the literally just-released video "Somebody To Love," featuring Robin Thicke.

Now, with their brand-new album Hearts, just released on October 27th, and their song "Magic City" (from the previously released EP Rational Geographic Vol. 1) appropriately featured in tomorrow's Miami-bound episode of The City, Awesome New Republic just might be the best band you've never heard of. You're welcome.

As Phil Collins is prone to say, I can feel it coming in the air tonight. The leaves are falling, the college football is being played, the hayrides are being taken; it's mtvU Woodie Awards season, pumpkins.

In honor of mtvU's annual award show, honoring the music the rocked college campuses the hardest, we thought we'd get some of these nominees used to the fierce competition they will face when the show will airs on MTV, MTV2, mtvU and Palladia on Friday, December 4, at 10 pm.

Today we're pitting the D.C. rapper (and this year's MTV Video Music Awards in-house entertainer) Wale against Brooklyn dream-poppers Passion Pit. Both acts are nominated for the Breaking Woodie Award.

Arbitrarily (and vaguely), let's say we're judging on the basis of dopeness. It's something you can't define, but you know it when you see it.

The Wale video has swagger. A swooping opening shot, a Lady Gaga feature, a dope beat, and it was most people's introduction to the lovable Chocolate City emcee.

Passion Pit is all indie innovation and art. And it's gorgeous. A beautiful, lush tune full of swelling keyboards with a unique video, givinng an impressionistic snapshot of a night in the life of a young lady; tearing that snapshot up in the process.

The winner? Well the nice part is, it's up to you! Let us know who you like in the comments, and go vote for your favorite at the mtvu Woodie site (where you can vote in any of the categories being awarded at the show!).
