We #MuchLove Phoebe Dykstra

We asked New.Music.Live.‘s Phoebe Dykstra to share some of the best #MuchLove moments in her life and she revealed a lot! Check out her answers below!

First Kiss
Well, my first kiss happened at a bible camp when I was in grade 8! This boy and I had been flirting for the week of camp, he was kind of like my “camp boyfriend” haha. On the last day he kept being like “So where is my kiss?” and I kept being shy. I had snuck over on the boys side of the camp to say goodbye while he was packing up and he grabbed me and stuck his tongue down my throat. It was the most embarrassing thing ever, I had to run away!

Cutest date
For me the cutest dates are the most simple ones. Going for walks, just sitting on my floor talking, but I’ve recently had a couple cute dates with one guy. He came to my house, I made him pizza and we just talked about everything! We hung out with my cat, made a puzzle and he played me some of his music in my living room. For me, simple and real talks are my fav AND you have to like my cat Rei!

Worst Date
I tend to block out most negative things that happen to me but a bad date is when a) the guy doesn’t show up / is late b) smokes c) the conversation doesn’t flow!

Biggest Celeb Crush
Justin Bieber

Perfect Date
It starts in the early afternoon. We take my neighbors dog for a walk down to the lake where we will sit and talk about life. On the way back we go to the movie store across the street and pick up a bunch of movies and snacks. Go back to my house, put on cute matching onesies and watch movies and cuddle and talk all night with my cat.

How I’ll spend this Valentine’s Day
Well I’m assuming I’ll go to work where I will have received tons of chocolates and flowers from all our amazing fans (and my mom). I’ll get a ton of super sweet tweets! I’ll Instagram a cute pic of a kitten and go home where I will feel grateful for everything in my life and be okay that I am not with the boy I love. I’ll probably call my best friend Darilyn and tell her I love her too!

Fave Love Song
Plain White T’s, 1,2,3,4

Fave Break-Up Song
Katy Perry, Ur So Gay (I listen to this song if I’m ever mad at a boy and want to get over them, if only for 3 minutes)

Best Romantic Movie
A Walk To Remember

Nas wants more love at the Grammys

Nas wants more love at the Grammys

Nas sat down with Dave Grohl, who has been guest hosting on Chelsea Lately and talked about the Grammys and the state of hip-hop. Nas is up for four Grammys for his work on Life Is Good and spoke on the representation of hip-hop in in the Grammy community. “It’s cool. I feel it could be a little bit more loved, though,” Nas replied. “Hip-hop is making a lot of noise, it should get some more spotlight.”

Nas went on to talk about beefing and explained, “I make fun of Coldplay, but I would never say that out loud.” Nas continued, “Once you say it, you gotta ride with it. You gotta be true. Hip-hop is really standoffish, really competitive. It’s really about who’s Number One all the time, and sometimes it gets out of hand.”

Sounds like Nas wants more love in the hip-hop community as well as for more love for hip-hop at the Grammys! We wanted to know who or what you #MuchLove. Have you tweeted @MuchMusic us your answer? Check out our #MuchLove site to find some great Valentines Day playlists and to send your sweetie or friend a great Valentine’s Day eCard!

Watch Nas’ video for Cherry Wine featuring the vocal stylings of Amy Winehouse here and tell us what you #MuchLove today.

Sunday’s Grammy Awards will be flesh (and fun) free

Sunday’s Grammy Awards will be flesh (and fun) free

The people behind this year’s Grammy Awards are attempting to be proactive in saving themselves money they would normally be fined by the FCC. Rather than risk any ‘indecent exposures’ during the live show, attendees for Sunday’s Grammy Awards have been sent a notice outlining new clothing restrictions put into place.

The notice, which has been sent to a long list of performers, including Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Sting, Miranda Lambert, fun., Maroon 5, the Black Keys, Bruno Mars, and many more, states:

“Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.”

I genuinely don’t know whether Adam Levine and Sting are able to perform with their shirts on. I think it heats up their vocal chords and makes singing impossible. Plus, no side boob? How are they going to have a red carpet with no side boob? This is a travesty. Let’s just cancel the Grammy Awards. There will be no Grammy Awards this year.

On a totally unrelated note, MUCH is airing the 2013 Brit Awards on Wednesday, February 20 at 10E/7P, which will feature performances from Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, One Direction, Mumford and Sons, Muse, Robbie Williams, Emeli Sande and Ben Howard. Wanna know what the Brit Awards are banning clothing-wise? Nuffin.

Kylie Minogue signs with Roc Nation, just go with it

Kylie Minogue signs with Roc Nation, just go with it

Kylie Minogue is the latest artist to sign with Jay-Z’s label, Roc Nation. The Australian pop legend joins a long list of who’s who in the music industry right now, including Rihanna, Solange, Rita Ora, J. Cole, Mark Ronson and M.I.A.

Roc Nation released the following statement about Minogue, saying “We would like to welcome Aussie singer, recording artist, songwriter, actress and designer Kylie Minogue to the Roc Nation family! In a career now spanning 25 years, Kylie has released 11 studio albums, two live CDs, eight live concert DVDs, a greatest hits double album, and multiple video packages. She has released over 50 hit singles worldwide, including the Grammy-winning Come Into My World, and has sold more than 68 million albums worldwide. Needless to say, we’re excited to have Kylie join the Roc fam.”

Kylie has confirmed that she is working on new music and to expect a new song from her ‘soon’. While the pairing seems like a bit of an odd one, let’s remember that Pauly D is signed to G-Unit, folk singer Vanessa Carlton is with Murder Inc. and Limp Bizkit gets paid by Young Money.

Minogue isn’t the only new addition to the Roc Nation family. Producer Timbaland, whose latest piece of work includes Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z’s Suit & Tie, signed to the hip hop label last week.

Justin Timberlake releases album artwork for The 20/20 Experience

Justin Timberlake releases album artwork for The 20/20 Experience

Justin Timberlake is sticking with the optical theme for his third studio album. Titled The 20/20 Experience, the cover art features Timberlake in the middle of a very formal eye exam. Justin also revealed the track listing for the ten song-album, which in addition to his lead single Suit & Tie, includes Pusher Love Girl, Spaceship Coupe and Strawberry Bubblegum. I’m assuming these will make sense once we hear the tracks.

It’s unclear whether Timberlake has any guest vocals in addition to Jay-Z on the new disc, since Jay’s name isn’t mentioned on the track listing. Maybe a surprise appearance by one of Timberlake’s fellow N’Sync members? Ya, probably not. The 20/20 Experience is set to hit shelves on March 19.

Watch Justin Timberlake, along with Taylor Swift, One Direction, Mumford and Sons, Emeli Sande, Muse, Robbie Williams and Ben Howard when they perform at the 2013 Brit Awards on Wednesday, February 20 at 10E/7P on MUCH.

1. Pusher Love Girl
2. Suit & Tie
3. Don’t Hold The Wall
4. Strawberry Bubblegum
5. Tunnel Vision
6. Spaceship Coupe
7. That Girl
8. Let The Groove Get In
9. Mirrors
10. Blue Ocean Floor
