Ah the new years celebration. A time where change is possible for everyone, because of a little thing called New Years Resolutions.

Remember when MTV used to be cool? I don’t. But it at least used to be kind of alright. This year the network has abandoned all attempts to hide their gaucheness with FNMTV Presents: A Miley-Sized Surprise… New Year’s Eve 2009. Seriously, MTV, what are you doing? Targeting the 3 to 9 year-old demographic?

The MTV website describes the NYE spec...

Ahhh Brooklyn: a New York borough of diverse cultural institutions like Brooklyn College, Peter Luger Steakhouse, and now, the Real World. For what feels like season eighty-two of the show, MTV has dropped a bunch of histrionic, emotionally saturated, sociopathic drama queens in BK who are way freakier than the performers at the Coney Island Fre...

Cold War Kids are not exactly untouched territory, but they're full of energy and releasing a new album this fall.

Huzzah!! 

MTV did usurp some of their amazing-ness by doing one of those one week snippet commercial features -- guess it was inevitable with all the blog buzz -- leaving CWK popular and almost overnight stars. Yet, the music of...

These guys can be described in one word, bold!

Promising that their new album will "melt your goddamn face off," we're beginning to think it might. A sound that can't be pinpointed to one generic genre and personality to boot, even if you don't like the music, you'll certainly dig the band.

You can't say anything is lacking with an 11-piece ...
