Get to know the Australian singer-songwriter who stole our hearts with his hit single “Riptide.”
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
Vance Joy has already been making headlines with his hit single "Riptide," and the talented Australian with swoonworthy good looks just released his debut album Dream Your Life Away.
Currently on his own headlining tour, it was just announced that he'll be joining Taylor Swift on her upcoming 1989 World Tour. You're about to see a lot more of this talented singer-songwriter, so now's the perfect time to get to know your new favorite Australian.
I got my name from a book called 'Bliss' by Peter Carey, which is an Australian story. I had about five or six songs I was really stoked with, and I just wanted to have a name to put with that new collection of songs that wasn't my name, because people always mispronounce Keough because it's got the 'gh' at the end. So I used Vance Joy, which is a character [in the book] — he's like a storyteller, so it's a cool name.
The film in 'Riptide' — 'there's this movie that I think you'll like' — is Midnight Cowboy. I was on the plane about four years ago and my dad told me about this movie Midnight Cowboy and I was like, I really wanna see this film, and I went back and watched that.

What's your wallpaper on your phone and/or computer?
A photo of Eddie, the boys, and me from our trip in Hawaii.
When you walk into a bar, what do you typically order?
Water and tequila, and not necessarily in that order. :)
What's the one word you are guilty of using too often?
More like a phrase: “Here’s the deal."
What is the last thing you searched for on Google?
Lyrics to “Someday at Christmas.” I’m refreshing my memory for a performance in a few days.
Who is the last person that called or texted you?
My BFF Lizzy.
What was the last awkward situation you were in and how did you handle it?
This sweet older lady said to me, “LeAnn, I just love your song “I Hope You Dance.” I just smiled and said, “I love that song too" and thanked her. I didn’t have the heart to tell her she had the wrong LeAnn.
When is the last time you went to a theater?
Two weeks ago to see The Equalizer.
What TV show should everyone should be watching?
I’m a huge Ray Donovan fan, but I don’t get to watch it every week. I’m going to have to binge-watch it eventually.

I don’t really have one. I don’t watch much TV. I love Family Guy, though, and I’m always watching SportsCenter with Eddie before we go to bed.
What's the first album you bought?
Hmmm, that’s hard. Probably a Whitney Houston album. I do remember buying my first “explicit” album, Salt-N-Pepa['s]. I was 11 and had to beg my mom and dad to buy it. They caved in and let me. Later on I kind of felt embarrassed of the very suggestive lyrics I was belting out in the car in front of my parents. I had no idea what “Shoop” and “Push It” were about at that age. I got it now. :)
What is the one food you cannot resist?
Mac 'n' cheese.

The “Pompeii” rockers act out some of the most agonizing and awkward problems only British people will understand.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
We've all come to love Bastille thanks to their brilliant mega-hits like "Pompeii" and "Of The Night," but apart from being ridiculously talented musicians, they're also pretty hilarious dudes. Which is why when they stopped by BuzzFeed NY to chat all about their music, we had the English experts act out some of the most epic "British people problems." Which —*spoiler* — they all agreed were pretty truthful.

BuzzFeed caught up with Broadway’s newest stars, Michael Cera and Kieran Culkin, where the real-life best friends are making their debut in Kenny Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth. Before hitting the stage at the Cort Theatre, we chatted with the duo during their pre-show ritual — playing a heated game of Mario Kart — where we talked video games and life on the Great White Way, and a whole lot about Nintendo.
***
The rules: Michael and Kieran must play four rounds of the Mushroom Cup — Luigi Raceway, Moo Moo Farm, Koopa Troopa Beach, and Kalimari Dessert — all while yielding questions about their show, their friendship and a slew of questions about Mario Kart 64. The equipment: the Nintendo 64 currently residing in their shared dressing room inside the Court Theater. Winner gets bragging rights, loser must answer painfully awkward "Would You Rather" questions. Let's see how they did!
First things first: do you two really play Nintendo 64 every night before showtime?
Michael Cera: Nearly.
Then let's get to it. Who's your favorite Mario Kart character?
Kieran Culkin: Oh, come on, Luigi.
MC: I use Wario even though my father was Luigi.
KC: It's true.
Who's the most annoying character in the game?
KC: Wario when he's being controlled by Michael.
What's your favorite Mario Kart level?
KC: Wario Stadium.
MC: The most popular level around here is the Rainbow Road.
KC: Oh yeah.
MC: Which is really fun. But no, Wario Stadium is really great and I like the beach. I just like to soak up the rays.
KC: You're also really good at the beach. You always win at the beach.
MC: Thank you.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
What's the crappiest item to get in an item box?
MC: A single banana doesn't do much good.
KC: Also the fake item.
So what's the best item?
MC: Lightning is great. The ghost is great.
KC: The star.
MC: The star is kinda good.
KC: The star is the best because it defends against the lightning —
MC: — but so does the ghost. And you can take away someone's lightning.
KC: Yeah, but the star also makes you drive faster. It's basically like having a boost for 10 seconds where you can kind of cross … like what I'm about to do right now. I'm cutting across and also impervious.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
MC: This is funny, like, we're treating this like it's a new game. We're talking about it like it's some new thing.
KC: But! There's still debatable things [about it], like, "What's the best weapon?" and I think for sure the star. Oh, I got the lightning too, that's great. The Bowser shell is great too.
Be honest. Do you find Princess Peach to be attractive?
MC: Obnoxious.
KC: Obnoxious, but attractive, yeah. I'd hit that.
Which character would you like to have as your roommate?
KC: Luigi.
MC: Why?
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
KC: I just think we'd get along. He's pretty cool.
MC: I think Luigi's masturbation schedule would really conflict with yours. You'd go to the bathroom and he'd be like, "I'm in here!"
KC: Yeah, maybe. But I'd respect it. I'd have to respect that he'd need to, um, jerk it a little. We'd come up with a system, like a bulletin board or something.
MC: Isn't he kind of neurotic?
KC: Yeah, you're right. Well, are we talking about who I'd be friends with or roommates with?
MC: Roommates.
KC: I'd be able to live in a much nicer place if I lived with Princess Peach.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
MC: I'd live with Mario. Just cause he's, like, the guy. You could be like, "I live with Mario" and people would be like [impressed].
KC: Mario can pay the rent. He'd be obnoxious, though. He'd be like, "Use the coaster, woohoo!"
Round 1 tally: Wario (Michael), 1st place; Luigi (Kieran) 2nd place.
***
MC: We really better get some free Nintendo stuff for this.
KC: I'd like to say for the record that Mario Kart 8 is an amazing fucking game. Have you played the Wii U version yet? You haven't?
MC: You're livin' in the past.
KC: I was doing this until I got that game and it made me buy a Wii U. Now I've gotten really shitty at this version because that one is so goddamn good.
MC: My mastery of this game makes me feel like I'm a typist or something.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
Do you think your characters would have played Mario Kart if it existed in their day?
KC: [To Michael] Oh, you would've. Warren would've.
MC: Yeah, I would say.
KC: I don't think Dennis would've.
MC: You don't think he'd get really competitive with it?
KC: It's like that thing, then if I started losing I would totally be like, "Yeah, Warren's really amazing at Mario Kart."
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
MC: Yeah.
KC: Like that fucking matters.
MC: Yeah, take that to the bank.
Why did you guys decide to do this play?
MC: Why? I just really liked the play, to be honest.
KC: I've been pressing it for like 12 years. I got to do a version of it 12 years ago and I've been wanting to do it again since. I don't exactly know why, it's just great.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
Are there any '80s bands that you still listen to?
MC: David Bowie. Tears for Fears is great.
KC: INXS.
What's your favorite '80s cartoon?
MC: The Real Ghostbusters.
KC: Oh, that's good. Thundercats.
MC: That's '80s?
KC: Yeah, '87 I think or something like that.
Favorite Brat Pack movie?
KC: The Breakfast Club.
MC: Am I going to hit myself with my own green shell?
KC: Oh, that's the end?
MC: That's the end, baby.
KC: You motherfucker.
MC: That's it.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
KC: I thought it was the end of the second lap.
MC: It was the lap that counted.
KC: Damnit.
MC: Breakfast Club was great, Sixteen Candles is really good. Ferris Bueller is really good.
KC: Ferris Bueller is great, that would be a close second for me.
Round 1 tally: Wario (Michael), 1st place; Luigi (Kieran) 3rd place.
***
What video games did you play as a kid?
MC: Super Mario 3. Gyromite.
KC: Gyromite's great.
MC: Super Mario 3 I got into but —
KC: — Solomon's Key! That's a new one. I never played that growing up, you introduced me to it.
MC: I had Solomon's Key. It's great.
KC: I never knew it existed for regular NES. So good.
MC: It's intense.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
KC: I grew up right in that fuckin' sweet spot of Nintendo. I was born in '82, so by the time it was a household thing I was about 6, which was perfect for when new games came out.
MC: Duck Hunt.
KC: Contra. Castlevania.
MC: Ninja Turtles.
KC: Castlevania is my favorite Nintendo game.
M: See, Michael tends to use the sand bar when he doesn't have the boost, which, he's about to use the boost now so… Motherfucker.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
What would be in your own suitcase of important childhood toys?
KC: The Thundercats Nintendo game.
MC: I had some Ghostbusters.
KC: Wrestling toys.
MC: I had the Martian Manny, is that his name? This green guy who was fantastic. I found him on the road.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
KC: You did it without the boost! You motherfucker.
MC: Yeah, I did it without the boost. With, without — the important thing is to pull ahead.
KC: God, you are such an asshole.
Round 3 tally: Wario (Michael), 1st place; Luigi (Kieran) 2nd place.
***
Since your characters in the play seem to, have you ever actually hung out on the Upper West Side?
KC: I grew up on the Upper West Side.
MC: I've been up there. Yes, I have.
How realistic were the sets? Were your characters turning off and on the lights to the apartment and playing records or did it just look that way?
MC: It's all a bit of movie magic.
KC: Well, you know, the turnstile, it moves.
The stage's New York City apartment is hyperrealistic. Have you ever lived in a one-bedroom apartment like that here?
MC: I have not.
KC: It looks exactly like my friend's apartment.
MC: I had a friend that lived in a studio apartment with a pull-down bed and it was disgusting. It was the kind of the place where you rent by the month that you live in and treat it like a hotel. You've got dishes and stuff. And one time he made a pot of Dinty Moore stew and he dropped it on the carpet and and he was just went, "Eh, whatever." And it was just there for the rest of the time he lived there.
KC: Really?
MC: Then he just moved out. He was like, "Oh, they'll figure it out."
Your characters in this show have many vices. If you had to pick for yourself between weed, booze, or cigarettes, which would you pick?
KC: Definitely not cigarettes. That's immediately eliminated.
MC: I choose weed. It's the least harmful of all three.
KC: It is the least harmful but I like booze too much. Booze.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
MC: Oh god, the train!
KC: Did you get hit by the train? This is, like, your level too.
MC: It's not over.
What one food can Michael not live without?
KC: Hold on. I can think of this...
MC: Dude, I've TOLD you what food I can't live without.
KC: Oh, bacon.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
Which one of you can go longer without showering?
KC: Michael's got some B.O.
MC: And I have a very inactive lifestyle.
KC: That's true. So do I, though.
MC: It takes a lot to generate B.O. for me.
Which one of you is more likely to break on stage?
KC: We've done a couple times, but always evenly.
MC: Yeah, it's [true]. We kind of keep our cool.
KC: If one of us breaks, we both break.
MC: If Peach takes away my perfect Grand Prix…I'm not gonna be able to stay cool.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
If you two were to do another play again, do you have any idea what it would be?
KC: Something by Kenny Lonergan.
MC: Yeah, that would be great. ... Wait, she pulled right ahead! Where is she? Oh, there she is.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
MC: She's dead now!
Would you ever consider doing a musical?
MC: Uh, no.
KC: I don't know how to sing.
MC: OK, now it all comes down to what Kieran gets right here.
KC: Well, I could have turned this into something useful but this bitch just passed me so I'm going to get second place.
MC: Awesome.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
Round 4 tally: Wario (Michael), 1st place; Luigi (Kieran) 2nd place.
KC: Whoa, almost! You almost got me with that shell.
MC: Really? That would have been a great finish.
KC: You got first all four times. I got second, second, third, second.
MICHAEL WINS THE MUSHROOM CUP!
Final tally: Wario (Michael), 36; Luigi (Kieran) 21.
Kieran, since you lost you're now subjected to two round of "Would You Rather." So: would you rather sweat mayonnaise or poop a softball?
KC: Oh, poop a softball! That's easy.
MC: No, it's not that easy. You're not really thinking about the anal stretching.
KC: You can get really drunk, and you go to the hospital and shit out a softball...
MC: So you can define the terms and conditions of this [game]?
KC: OK. So I'll go to the hospital. It'll be like the worst day of my life and when my wife eventually has kids she'll be like, "You don't know what this is like!" I'll be like, "Yes I do. I shat a softball."
MC: What about your softball-sized asshole for the rest of your life?
Final round: Would you rather be sexually attracted to fruit or have Cheeto dust on your fingers for the rest of your life?
Both, in unison: Sexually attracted to fruit.
MC: It's everywhere.
KC: Yeah, but still, when I'm alone and nobody's around I find a pomegranate...
MC: You're not, like, uncontrollable, right? You don't have, like, I Have to Have Sex With Fruit Tourettes? Where you, like, see a banana and lose your cool.
KC: And so what if I'm sexually attracted to fruit? If I wanna fuck a pineapple — actually, I don't know why I said a pineapple. That would be the worst.
