We always talk about "remember when MTV actually played music?" Yeah, well they did that, but they also had really cool shows like 120 Minutes.

Just recently a video surfaced from a 1994 interview of Beck by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. WOW! It's so bad, but I can't help but laugh!

The boys are back! It’s been quite some time since ‘Beavis and Butt-head’ went off the air in 1997, but, thankfully, they’ve returned with all-new idiocy and a desire to skewer recent pop cultural phenomenons. Let’s just say that copious suntanning isn’t the only way the ‘Jersey Shore’ gang are getting burned.

The Foo Fighters scored their second moon man for Best Rock Video at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last night. I know I was also surprised that the Foo Fighters have only won a total of TWO awards at the VMA's, but I really think they deserved this win for their video "Walk."

The Foo's beat out Cage the Elephant "Shake Me Down," The Black Keys "Howlin' For You," Foster the People "Pumped Up Kicks," and Mumford & Sons "The Cave."

Check out the video below and The Foo Fighters acceptance speech below.

Time may be running out on 30 Seconds to Mars — or maybe not.

A rumor has been circulating for months that the band intends to break up following its 2011 tour. And in recent interviews, guitarist Tomo Milicevic and singer Jared Leto have only added to the uncertainty of the group’s future instead of clearing things up.

Where Are MTV's Most Popular VJs Now?

Shauna Wright — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 19:56:55 +0000

On August 1, 1981, television and music shacked up on a little cable channel called MTV, hosted by a collective of video jockeys or “VJs.” MTV has been through countless iterations and format changes ever since and as it shifted its focus to reality fare like 'Jersey Shore' and 'Teen Mom' in recent years, the VJs became less instrumental to the channel's brand.

As MTV turns 30 today, let's take a loo

Watch a Preview of MTV's New 'Beavis and Butthead' [VIDEO]

gonzo — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:19:47 +0000

Earlier this year, MTV announced that ‘Beavis and Butt-Head,’ one of MTV’s flagship shows during the 1990s, would be returning — and fans rejoiced.

Attendees at Comic-Con got a preview of upcoming episodes yesterday, introduced by creator Mike Judge, and it seems the iconic adolescents haven’t aged a bit.. The only difference seems to be the material on which they snark while watching TV — instead of music videos, now it’s tacky reality fare like ‘Jersey Shore.’
