The ARIAs are just around the corner – and this aint any old ARIAs, it’s the 25th Anniversary ARIA Awards. On Sunday November 27th, you could just sit on your couch and watch the event unfold on Go! TV (from 7.30pm), but why watch it on the box when you could be in on all the action live at All Phones Arena??? We’ve got an ARIA Insider hot ticket price available here.

Who’s going to be appearing at the ARIA Awards you ask? There’ll be performances by Drapht, Boy & Bear, Gotye with Kimbra, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, Art Vs Science, and more still to be announced. Plus, appearances by actor Noah Taylor, funny men Hamish & Andy, and Benji and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte. It’s gonna be a ‘goodun.

Jack Daniels have a reputation for throwing great parties and Good Charlotte know how to rock a room (especially an Aussie one!) – so naturally they’re joining forces for the next round of JD Sets. Last month’s JD Set featured Art Vs Science covering the music of Icehouse, and this round comes with another cool twist – Good Charlotte will cover nineties legend Weezer, with support from Amy Meredith.

It gets better: the boys will be covering songs from their debut album The Blue Album, which was released in 1994 and spawned the mainstream hits “Undone – The Sweater Song” and “Buddy Holly”, and has often been touted as one of the most important albums of that pivotal era in music….. AKA the nineties!

Keen to come along? We have a double-pass to give away to the best answer to this question: Good Charlotte are performing Weezer’s classic Blue album for The JD Set. What Weezer song would you be excited to hear them cover and why…? To enter, email your answer to jdset@theinsoundfromwayout.com before November 7th.

Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte are back in town to perform at the Southern Cross Media annual conference on the Gold Coast.  Today they came to visit us in our hot new office – where we presented the pair with gold plaques for selling more than 35,000 copies of their album Cardiology… As you can see, the brothers were pretty impressed (with the office and the plaques!)

Cardiology is available now on the InSong.

Those bastions of party pop rock Good Charlotte have returned with their fifth studio baby, Cardiology. Unless you’ve been singing Airbourne (or something equally loud) at the top of your lungs for the last month, you’d have heard GC’s first single Like It’s Her Birthday.

After that, if you’re keen to see the boys live, Good Charlotte are returning to Oz for the next Debit MasterCard Priceless Music Series concert at Sydney’s Big Top (Nov 18). Visit mastercard.com.au/music to pre-register for tix before Nov 9. We’re also giving you the chance to meet the boys at the show! Get your entries in at theinsoundfromwayout.com/cardiology before Nov 8.

Now you know everything happening in the Good Charlotte neighborhood, you can earn $$$ by telling your friends about Cardiology. The lovely people at Posse are helping you earn $3.50 every time one of your mates buys a copy (they’ll be signed and will come with temporary tatts, no less!). If you do a great job, you’ll get another chance to meet the band too! Get involved here. And if you still haven’t grabbed yourself a copy of Cardiology, there’s an exclusive version with two exclusive bonus tracks on iTunes. Enjoy!
