As part of their well-discussed annual bit, MTV has brought to light their 25 nominees for the top 10 hottest MCs of 2011. Take a look and see who you think is missing, as the mega-network's most definitely putting an emphasis on the flashy mainstream and not giving much love to the rapid risers of 2010's freshman class (MGK, Kendrick, Mac Miller, KRIT, etc)...fair 'nuff. MTV will reveal their 10-6 spots the week of the 13th, with the final five being broken down on MTV2, Sunday the 19th. 2 [...]

So, the premiere of MTV's new show, I Just Want my Pants Back is premiering tonight at 11 pm after Jersey Shore. I had been seeing the advertisements for this show for months, but I did not know until recently that it was based on a book. I stumbled upon the book in the free book menu on my Kindle and I started reading it. Although I am only halfway through, I have to say that I am curious to see how it is going to be interpreted. I'm sure that MTV will take some libeties with plot lines, but [...]

Get More: Music News Avicii's House for Hunger Tour showed the producer's charitable side, but anyone can write a check and call it a day (sort of). MTV tagged along with Avicii and his executive producer Ash Pournouri as they paid a visit to a New York City rescue mission to deliver food to some of the people they set out to help. Tim and Ash serve food to the people who come, pack bags to be sent out remotely, and generally participate in the goings-on of the rescue [...]

"If it ain't broken, don't fix it." If Good Old War has a band mantra, we imagine it goes something like that. Their new single, "Calling Me Names", premieres on MTVu and gives listeners exactly what they'd expect from the indie-acoustic trio: soft harmonies, catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. The video is shot as if we're sitting in the car with them for most of the ride. I love the grain-y and dull shots used to capture the vibe of times, decades ago.

Dead Kennedys - MTV get off the Air In honor of the pic I reblogged of John Stewart moshing at a DK gig, I'm going to post a classic DK track. MTV get off the air. Years ago, MTV had a few good music programs, but mostly they played cheesy pop videos over and over again, like pop radio does with modern hits. Now they play stupid reality shows and shitty teen dramas. The more things change, the more they stay the same, huh?! Enjoy the Dead Kennedys! Peace. http://www.alternativetentacle s.com/

Alissa White-Gluz, the frontwoman for The Agonist, recently appeared on MTV's Made. In the episode, which aired this past Monday, White-Gluz coaches some girl named Julia to become a metal screamer. The episode is pretty cheesy, but some of the highlights include just staring at the blue-haired goddess, who was voted Peta2's "Sexiest Female Vegetarian" and ...

Congratulations are in order for Context, who managed to get his fans behind him to end up on MTV's recent Brand New For 2012 winners' list. He was the only unsigned act to go through and kept company with the likes of Lana Del Ray. Respect his grind hustle grustle.

Sleigh Bells - "Comeback Kid" So yeah, the most perfect bubblegum thrash pop duo Sleigh Bells are back on February 21 with "Reign Of Terror", their sophomore album. "Comeback Kid" is a thrashing, bubbling, beautiful mess of double-bass-drums and cooing cheerleader romps, with Alexis Krauss looking like the most dangerous version of your BFF from next door. Godspeed!

Time to brush up on your calculus — TMZ reports that MTV's parody boy band 2Gether, responsible for the actual hit from 2000, "U + Me = Us (Calculus)", is planning a reunion special. The four living members of the band reportedly asked the network for control of the project, which MTV gave. So the band will be responsible for producing, shooting and delivering the reunion special (which is tentatively planned for either Los Angeles or Las Vegas), and upon completion, MTV will then decide whether to air it or not.
