If you live in Southern California, you've definitely heard their single "We Come Running" on the radio, and by now you might even be able to sing along to the catchy, feel-good lyrics. Youngblood Hawke, a self-described "electronic rock, pop, and funk"...

Brace yourselves folks. It looks like Season 4 of Teen Mom 2 might be the last one ever. Let me just repeat that -- Season FOUR of Teen Mom TWO. There have thus far been four seasons of a second set of teenage mothers who agreed to let MTV film...

Maybe I'm a sucker for melancholy, nonsensical lyrics, or maybe I'm just ready for a new-age Radiohead sound a like. Perhaps I enjoy a good synth melody coupled with a bass line so dubby you might think you're listening to a Bassnectar remix. Or maybe I just love Alt-J because...

For the past few weeks I've been consumed by some new, very unique hip hop. I've often encountered the criticism that hip-hop all sounds alike -- patterned by rants of bangin' hos, wearing fancy clothes, and killin' foes. While I can't deny that these themes are common in plenty of...

I tend to consider myself a little obsessive about pop culture. I watch a lot of TV, so I write a lot about TV (which is quite obvious if you look at my blog archive), and I've done a few music reviews. But I've realized that I actually go to...

I look forward to watching New Girl every Tuesday as part of my weekly dose of TV comedy. What douchey things will Schmidt say this week? How quirky and awkward can Jess be? Will Winston finally begin to find professional success outside of playing basketball (according to this week's episode,...

Have you ever wondered what the Guns N' Roses classic "Welcome to the Jungle" sounds like when performed acoustically?

If you were at the Bridge School Benefit concert at Mountain View's Shoreline Amphitheater this past weekend, you're wondering no more. Axl Rose and his band of rock rebels performed...

"Record Number of Gay Characters on TV," read a headline on the Onion last week. "4.4 percent of all scripted TV characters on the five major networks are either gay, bisexual, or transgender this season." While the Onion is an infamously satirical news publication, the information is quite...

At one time or another over the past year you've probably heard one of Grouplove's catchy singles ("Colours," "Naked Kids" and "Tongue Tied") buzzing around the radio, Internet, or at a festival near you. Their combination of rhythmic drumming, melodic guitar solos, and clever lyrics would have anyone dancing around...

I have the privilege of seeing a lot of live music. This year alone I attended four different festivals, including Coachella in Indio, Lollapalooza in Chicago, Outside Lands in San Francisco, and Gentlemen of the Road in Monterey.

But nothing could quite prepare me for an experience as unique...

It looks like Alex P. Keaton might be making a television comeback! Well not exactly, but Michael J. Fox is attached to star in a new series with writer Sam Laybourne (Cougar Town) and producer Will Gluck that is currently being pitched to major networks and would premiere...

Fast-paced, long-winded, and tense is how I would describe Aaron Sorkin's new HBO drama The Newsroom, starring Jeff Daniels as petulant news anchor Will McAvoy. Most of my television viewing repertoire falls within the comedy genre, so I can't say I had high expectations -- or any expectations at all...

I'll admit it; sometimes I have to give into the urge and watch a little reality television. I'm not proud of it. In fact I would say it's probably my guiltiest pleasure. But every once in a while, particularly if I'm bored (or procrastinating) I just really want to find...

The recently announced TV network fall line up seems to have some common themes this year. Did anyone order some revived sitcom actors? FOX, ABC, CBS, and NBC sure did, and these new shows will all have some very familiar faces.

FOX's new series The Mindy...

A lot of articles have already been written about HBO's new comedy series Girls, many of which have been right here on The Huffington Post. I've heard the criticism and the praise, and not to sound too craven, but I agree with points from both sides.

Just like Hannah...

The boys are back and the wait is finally over! The fifth season of AMC's Mad Men is in full swing and so far it's been a gripping few episodes. As is appropriate with the maturing of a series, the characters seem more mature as well, yet...

I was recently reminded of something I've wanted to write about for a while when I read an article concerning the detainment and interrogation of journalist and filmmaker Laura Poitras. Agents from the Department of Homeland Security have met Poitras as she de-boards her plane upon returning from...

Winter is coming. Maybe not here in the Northern hemisphere of planet earth, but in the land of Westeros winter is coming very soon... and it might not leave for decades.

April 1st marks the return of one of the greatest television series of all time. I'm sure if...

What could be more exciting than a new show that involves an actress from one of the most legendary musical films of all time? How about a new show involving the actress who plays the most awesome character from that film? Yes I am talking about the one and only...

It's pilot season in Hollywood! The entertainment industry is a buzz with the latest news on who's been cast in each network's newest television endeavor. One of the most talked about Fox pilots this season, the so far untitled Karyn Usher pilot, has officially cast Saxon Sharbino as the lead,...
