One of the cooler parties this weekend was hosted by Maxim. In celebration of the Super Bowl, they got their servers and bartenders to dress up as super heroes and yes, hot chicks in capes looks just about as cool as you would think. Ludacris must have shared this sentiment because he performed for much longer than he was originally scheduled for, bringing back… Click to read more

Last week, Alice in Chains “Heaven Beside You” was your favorite song, earning 52% of the vote. This week’s songs feature Tyga, the lovely and leggy Jessie J, Warpaint, Graffiti6, and a tribute to Nate Dogg. See which tracks made the list after the jump!

The Green Hornet beat out The Dilemma at the box office over MLK weekend with nearly twice the revenue, $40 mil to $20 mil. January’s a tough month for theatrical releases; it’s a timeframe where studios dump their less than stellar projects and productions with modest to low expectations. For The Green Hornet to perform like it did is a surprise. This week’s new entries feature casual sex, unemployment, hired help, and the long road to freedom. Check our preview of this week’s new releases after the jump!

Looking for something more exciting than a keg of Pabst Blue Ribbon or spending $150 at a bar where all the well drinks are obviously watered down? From New York to California, major artists are lining up special appearances at iconic venues to help everyone ring in 2011 with a bang, sure to leave everyone bleary eyed and tired when the tunes and booze finally stop flowing in the early a.m. hours. Check out some of these explosive shows if you’re in the area, especially if you’re somehow able to score tickets.

2002 – that transition between nu-metal and bland alterna-rock, before pseudo-indie acts like The Strokes, after boy bands and before tween Disney stars, and a few years before a clear 1980s influence. Call it the doldrums or a musical dead zone. For any college kit putting together the perfect homecoming playlist at the time, this meant hunting high and low – at the record shop or on KaZaa – for the right dance tracks. Considering the most popular singles of the year were by Nelly, J. Lo, Chad Kroeger, or Avril Lavigne, taking a Top 40 approach made you look like a too-eager-to-impress and doltish high schooler, while going too obscure meant seeming like a snotty music nerd. Check out this class’s suggested homecoming party playlist after the jump.

It’s true, at the end of a long day it’s absolutely mandatory to close off the rest of the world and blast some Taylor Swift tunes. We play these songs at the gym, in our dorms, apartments, and in our cars (windows completely rolled up). Who knew that so many dudes out there secretly listened to the exact same music as their girlfriends?

The Killers have become much like George W. to me.  With each passing year, I found myself asking more intently: are people really falling for this?  I don’t mean to be a hater.  In fact, I thought, “Mr. Brightside” was a cute and catchy song.  But with their new album, “Day & Age“, I’m thoroughly shocked.

With a Tenacious D-type ridiculousness, Electric 6 made me laugh hysterically the moment that I first heard them. Thankfully for all of us though, they are actually good at playing their instruments. That doesn’t necessarily negate their ridiculousness, but I firmly believe that everyone needs a little bit of ridiculousness here and there.
