WatchThe Lying Game just premiered a week ago on ABC Family, and if the pilot is any indication, we’re in for a good show. Starring Alexandro Chando, who plays two identical twins, one of which was adopted at birth by a rich family. While the one-line description of the show doesn’t seem that original, the pilot showed a good mix of comedy, drama, and best of all, acting skill, so...

WatchWe’ve been rooting for Michael and Leroy in this season of The Challenge: Rivals on MTV, and recently they did really well in the Catch & Release challenge in the episode “Blowup.”
Beyond their good showing, we were also happy to hear Downstait’s “Can You Hear Me Now” play during their fall and swim. One of the few heavy bands that actually plays a melodic...

WatchThe last time we heard The Dirty Heads in a movie, it was an all-too-brief appearance in Horrible Bosses. Blue Crush 2 (which just got released on DVD) gives the band a better opportunity to shine, as the good vibes of “Stand Tall” add a lot to a night time beach party scene, which you can see above.
Wish they could’ve brought back Kate Bosworth for a second wave, but we really...

WatchIn the couple of weeks since we’ve heard her, we’ve fallen head over heels for Oona. The young songstress mashes up electro pop, soul, funk, and just plain old attitude in such a refreshing way that we can’t get enough….and evidently neither can the folks at VH1, who have used three of her songs in the latest episode of Single Ladies.
First, “Remote Control”...

WatchEl-P’s “Flyentology” (Cassettes Won’t Listen Remix) is a great pump up or party song…those of you who have played Fight Night Round 4 know exactly what we’re talking about.
The new, ultra intense season of Breaking Bad has just featured this jam in last week’s episode “Bullet Points.” The song plays in the middle of Jesse’s drug and...

WatchJersey Shore kicked off Season 4 last week the right way - by heading to Italy, and also by using MNDR’s “Cut Me Out” in the intro as Pauly D talks about his plans for their trip to Italy. The show was one of the first supporters of MNDR’s work, and it’s nice to see them using her ridiculously catchy hooks again.

WatchShowtime’s The Big C has just released a great promo video that features “Swim” by Jack’s Mannequin. Whether it’s with Something Corporate or Jack’s Mannequin, Andrew McMahon always seems to find it in himself to pump out the poignant hits, and “Swim” is certainly no exception.
As for The Big C, it has gotten off to a promising start, and we we have...

WatchMTV’s new show awkward, chornicles, well awkwardness in high school. We suppose it could be like many other countless shows, but based off the first two episodes, the strength of the two lead actors - Ashley Rickards as Jenna and Beau Morchoff as Matty - look to give this show some staying power.
It also helps its popularity with us that they used two awesome songs at the beginning of the...

WatchPoor Eric. He’s a good guy, which of course means he frequently runs into girl problems. In recent Entourage episode “Out With A Bang” he sleeps with Sloan again in her house, and when they wake up, she leaves her own houes without saying a word…which of course sends him to the guys for advice.
We love Eric, and Entourage, but what really caught our ears was the use of the...

WatchFrom the first moment we heard the confident and propulsive four-on-the-floor stomp of Shapes of Race Cars, we fell in love and now we are happy to share with you a clip from a recent episode of Degrassi, “Paper Planes” which features “Sound the Alarm,” our favorite track from their 2007 album Power. Since then, they released Beauty Beat, which was a nice improvement on an...
