Conor Maynard
When Sarah covered the recent MuchMusic Video Awards one of the people she spoke to on the red carpet was fast-rising British pop star Conor Maynard.
She found the Pharrell Williams-approved lad quite charming and wrote a story about it for the AOL Music Blog.

Carly Rae Jepsen and Faber Drive
“Call Me Maybe” singer Carly Rae Jepsen has a Glee-style dance choir past.
At least that’s what the guys from Faber Drive told Sarah on the red carpet at the MuchMusic Video Awards last week.
They know this how? Because one of them was in the choir with her in high school.

Dragonette
Electro-poppers Dragonette were at the MuchMusic Video Awards last week and Sarah spoke to them on the event’s red carpet.
As it turns out they’ve got a new album almost done, but they’re being kinda coy about the details.

Diamond Rings as Max Headroom
While Sarah was on the MuchMusic Video Awards red carpet this year she got to speak to electro-rocker Diamond Rings, who was debuting a new look he called “Max Headroom meets Klaus Nomi.”
Being big Max fans in this household we’ve been entirely amused ever since.

Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne
Spinner’s giant free NXNE 2012 show at Yonge-Dundas Square certainly was something. Ten bands, over 20,000 people, and I wrote about it all hiding behind a garbage bin in the VIP area.
Headliners The Flaming Lips were awesome, even though they were on a bit of a heavy trip because of that Radiohead stage collapse thing. Of Montreal were a pretty great time, too, what with the costumes and all. So were Hollerado. But the real revelation for me were Art vs. Science, a dance-rock band from Australia. They were truly ridiculous in their silver spacesuits and their songs and showmanship made for one super-max party.
