Yet another sign that "indie" is on the wane: The trailer for Rockville, CA, a Web series created by The O.C. brainchild Josh Schwartz that's set in a totally cool Los Angeles rock club (hence, Rockville—get it????) and brings to mind such culturally deaf end-of-an-era curios as Go and Empire ...

Sunday night's installment of the Kiwi-rock comedy Flight Of The Conchords doubled as the premiere of two Michel Gondry-directed music videos, thanks to the Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind director getting behind the camera for the episode. Above, the clip for the half-sweet, half-sour "Carol ...

The Valentine's Day episode of Saturday Night Live was a somewhat painful affair, with the normally reliable Alec Baldwin locking his gaze with the teleprompter a lot, perhaps because he wanted to get awful skits like the "Wii makes you look like you're jerking off" one * over as quickly as possible...

Lil Wayne's publicity tour around various CBS properties continued with last night's Late Show With David Letterman, where the all-smiles MC presented a Grammy-related Top Ten List chock full of references to Desperate Housewives, the Jonas Brothers, and the US Air floating landing from a few weeks ...

While most denizens of Western Pennsylvania are probably still ecstatic enough regarding the Steelers' Super Bowl victory last night to let the forecast laid down by the chief rodent meterologist of Punxsutawney—who saw his shadow early this morning, predicting six more weeks of winter—b...

Philly R & B singer Jazmine Sullivan is something of a bad-ass, and her new single, "Lions, Tigers, and Bears" is a string-laden belter about being afraid of love that also happens to be Ne-Yo's favorite jam of right now. The video (after the jump) kinda-predictably takes the "follow the CGI'd yello...

The video for Chris Cornell's "Part Of Me" made its way to the Internet a month ago, but I just happened across it today; it's a Timbaland-produced track that sounds like a wan take on Nelly Furtado's way superior "Say It Right," and its lyrics tell the tale of a man who's had many a regrettable imp...

So, about that Kelly Clarkson video premiere happening tonight... well, actually, it happened a bit early, thanks to either an obsessive fan or a coordinated leak campaign. The clip for "My Life Would Suck Without You" is streaming out some backdoor on AT&T's site, and it's a pretty cute, if slightl...

What will it take to make people realize that the Swedish pop chameleon Robyn should be a star, and would probably give Katie Couric a much better pre-Grammy interview than the perpetual irritant Katy Perry? (Robyn's self-titled full-length is, after all, nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album ag...

My favorite musical moment from the Saturday Night Live that aired 36-ish hours ago: A re-imagining of the 1992 chart-topper "A Whole New World" in which Aladdin and Jasmine, married 10 years, sing about how the thrill in their love life has gone away thanks to time, age, and the damn Genie wayyyy o...
