WatchPablo Sebastian’s bubbly, yet reflective gem “Fall Face First, Hit Rock Bottom,” has been featured quite a lot in television shows, but the most recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy may be the best usage of the song yet - the whole song played during a montage that starts with Teddy asking Christina what her dream surgeries are, as she surprises her and lets her know she thinks...

WatchKristy Swanson guest starred this week on Psych, and we thought it was a great touch to pay homage to the original Buffy movie by using it’s star (for those of you who don’t know, Buffy The Vampire Slayer was first made as a movie starring Swanson in the role that Sarah Michelle Gellar would become synonymous with).
We were really excited to see her in a vampire-related role again,...

WatchThe hard-hitting “Riot Rhythm” by Sleigh Bells has been featured twice in a the most recent episode of The Good Wife, titled “Marthas and Caitlins.”
The song first plays when Alicia is talking to Sweeney in prison, and then pops up again when a handcuffed Sweeney is escorted to a special police truck outside the prison to learn about a deal they are offering him. We took...

WatchPacquiao v. Marquez 3 is going to be possibly one of the most legendary fights of the century. HBO knows this, and they are once again bringing back their acclaimed 24/7 series to lead up to this dream matchup. While we continue to dream about the hypothetical Mayweather vs. Pacquio matchup, this should be a great one, and hopefully will provide some closure over the first two controversial...

WatchOur favorite thing in the whole world may just be reader tips/submissions, and we just got a great one. If you like the chamber pop of Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s (we do!), then you’ll love Buried Beds and their song “Telegram” which played at the end of the recent episode of Private Practice, “Breaking the Rules.”
Watch the clip above, as the song...

WatchIn addition to having an awesome theme song courtesy of Ingrid Michaelson, the premiere of Chelsea Settles also featured one of our favorite new tunes - “Cause For Concern” by Molly Marlette. Adding icing to the cake is the fact that MTV is offering the track for a free download at soundtrack.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/06-cause-for-concern-1.mp3 - jump on it now, as...

WatchA few years go, we first heard the sweet sounds of Ingrid Michaelson thanks to an Old Navy sweater ad campaign. Remember this? It was EVERYWHERE in 07. Well, she’s back with her best song since “The Way I Am,” and this time it is the theme song for the new MTV reality show, Chelsea Settles.
The tune, “Be OK,” again features her sweet voice and sparse acoustic guitar...

WatchBored To Death is back, and if you haven’t watched the first two seasons of this excellent HBO comedy, you’re missing out. We missed out on season 1, but after season last season’s first episode, went back and watched the whole first season in two days. Featuring a comedy trifecta of Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis, and Ted Danson, this show’s offbeat wit is instantly...

WatchBack in the 90’s, Portishead showed us that slow brooding music doesn’t have to always just be dark - it can be sexy and sleak, too. In last week’s episode of The Secret Circle, “Slither,” we saw another great example of this, with the song “Why Do I Worry” by Lay Low, the moniker for Icelandic songstress Lovísa Elísabet Sigrúnardóttir (yes, we had to look...

WatchTV/TV’s “Turn Me On” wasn’t the only awesome, edgy song to be used in the casino scene of last night’s Lying Game…in the second part of the scene, as Sutton’s luck begins to turn around with a new dealer, Demi Lovato’s “Who’s That Boy” played throughout. From the moment you hear the dancey hook, it’s hard not to get up for...

WatchThe infectious power pop of New York’s TV/TV has been paired up with an equally addictive force - The Lying Game. In last night’s episode ”Sex, Lies and Hard Knocks High,” TV/TV’s “Turn Me On” was played right when Sutton and Lexi arrive at the casino party.

WatchBasketball Wives has done a great job with its musical selections in the past, as they always seem to pick not only good songs, but songs that fit the attitude and the mood of the larger-than-life characters the show documents. The many uses of MNDR on the show are perfect examples.
Now we have Basketball Wives LA, which of course follows various Basketball Wives that live in our fine...

WatchBlue Mountain State is back for another season full of football and raunch, and they were in rare form with the recent episode “Dic Pics” - need evidence? Just check out the scene above featuring Thad stealing Alex’s phone and using it to take a ‘dic pic’ and send it to a girl Alex tried to hit on (and failed) the previous night.
As an added bonus, the scene also...

WatchCould Dev be the next MNDR - a starlet with sultry club dance songs that explodes onto the scene out of nowhere to become huge? We predicted that type of success for MNDR after we heard her guest vocals in Mark Ronson’s terrific “Bang, Bang, Bang” and soon after it seemed like she was everywhere….well, not long after hearing Dev’s “Dance in the Dark” used...
