The actor debuts a 20-minute dark comedy on YouTube.
During South by Southwest, comedians Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim Heidecker, Eric Warehaim, and Reggie Watts launched their very own YouTube network called JASH . The first project from Cera comes in the form of a short film adaption of Bruce Jay Friedman’s 1966 black comedy Brazzaville Teen-ager , which tells the story of a young man named Guther (Cera), who tries to connect with his seriously ill father by doing something embarrassing. Specifically, he enlists his boss (played by Charles Grodin!) to sing backup to R&B singer Kelis - yes, the same Kelis who returned just [...]
Sarah Silverman at The Apollo in 2008 ( more by Chris La Putt ) Sarah Silverman has teamed up with Michael Cera, Tim Heidecker, Eric Warehaim, and Reggie Watts for a new YouTube comedy channel, JASH . Rolling Stone reports: "We each have pages within JASH and we each can curate those pages," Silverman said. "This is what we think is funny. It may not be your cup of tea, but there's no testing [...]

Alyson Greenfield premieres the official video for “Mama Said Knock You Out” over on AOL today. The video can also be seen on YouTube . The visual was filmed and edited by Adam Holz. The song is off of Alyson’s 2011 release Rock Out With Your Glockenspiel Out , which is a collection of hip hop covers including Coolio’s “Gangster’s Paradise” on a glockenspiel, Kelis’ “Milkshake,”as well as LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” on a baby grand piano. In [...]
Michael Cera, Martha MacIsaac, Jonah Hill, Emma Stone, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse do a table-read of the sex scene from Superbad . It's kind of weird to see the process behind a movie, isn't it? Table reads are a thing that happens. That's just weird. [via reddit ]

Michael Cera is known as an alternative actor who also plays music in random fringe buzzbands that no1 cares abt, except for the fact that Michael Cera is in them, so they'll go to Michael Cera concerts to 'watch a famous person' do his thing, but they have no opinion the actual music. He is also in overglorified, yet cancelled TV series or something, and had limited success as the third actor in a few moderately successful films (By indie standards). In terms of alt, he truly has it all. [...]
Toronto - I will openly admit that the last time I saw Mister Heavenly , I went largely because I was curious to see Michael Cera (their bassist at the time)performing with them. Not the only reason, mind you - I like Islands and Modest Mouse and I've at least heard of Man Man (hey, there's a lot of bands out there, I can't be expected to listen to everything ...) so I knew the band had a pretty decent pedigree. But for me and a large part of the crowd [...]

Photos by G. From left to right: Portia De Rossi, David Cross, Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett The hottest ticket in town on October 2, 2011 was the cast reunion of the TV show "Arrested Development" as part of the New Yorker Festival. Before I get into what the program for this afternoon was all about - here's the information you are all dying to know: Writer/Creator Mitchell Hurwitz confirmed that an "Arrested Development" movie is happening. The script is half way finished [...]
Arrested Development Photo : Art Streiber/FOX This was just about the best news I got all day.

Mister Heavenly did a session with Daytrotter earlier this year and it was finally released a couple of weeks ago…while my power was out. I have been an unabashed lover of the Heavenly trio, so I thought I’d throw “Your Girl” from the Daytrotter session out here for your consumption. The dudes apparently performed this session with Cera and a lack of sleep, plus Honus Honus’ vocals being a bit shakey. Check it out below or download the whole set via Daytrotter . Mister Heavenly - Your Girl Bonus [...]
OK, I can take your criticism if you're going to tell me that we JUST shared 50's style music when Mookie told you about the Buddy Holly Rave On compilation album. I can take it, because I am really digging this album by the band Mister Heavenly, which also relies heavily on a 50's doo-wop sound. Or rather, make that doom-wop. There are drums involved, after all. Click to Enjoy Mister Heavenly - Doom Wop [...]
Years ago (and we’re talking like four-five years ago), Man Man frontman Honus Honus expressed that he would one day like to work with The Unicorns/Islands mastermind Nick Thorburn . In the months and years that followed, they collaborated here and there and revealed that what they were cooking up was to be called “Doom-Wop.” And with the addition of the percussive expertise of Joe Plummer (The Shins, Modest Mouse), they had themselves a band. Beginning a supergroup side project is one thing. But creating a completely new genre? Lofty, to say the least, and [...]

(Film fans, however, can unhook themselves since sometime-member [...]
