You'd think, given the worldwide tour in support of their This Is War album, that 30 Seconds to Mars would have logged at least a half-dozen New York City-area shows by this point. But you'd be wrong: To date, they've played exactly one NYC concert (an April 21, 2010, gig at Roseland Ballroom), which is just part of the reason they're looking forward to Friday night's (April 29) headlining slot at the Bamboozle Festival in nearby East Rutherford, New Jersey.
"Bamboozle is going to be insanity. I mean, insanity," frontman Jared Leto told MTV News during Thursday night's "30 Seconds to Mars: State of the Union" live stream. "We've only played one New York City-area show in this record cycle,...

I can't tell you how happy I am that so many of you were able to identify that obscure "10 Things I Hate About You" quote. It comforts me to know that so many other people know that movie down to those small, incredibly important details of Patrick's harassment of the lunch lady, Kat's alleged testicular assault on a fellow student, and the incredibly lovely and talented Miss Perky who deals with teenagers the way I probably would if I were forced to be around them all day everyday. Same little asswipe shit for brains everywhere indeed. Anyway, there appears to be some TV on tonight so I guess I'll go about describing that instead of talking about a 13 year old high school based adaptation of Shakespeare. Here's your Tuesday night TV:
8:00pm: "The Biggest Loser" on NBC

Last year, when we launched the inaugural Musical March Madness tournament, we did it largely on a whim.
As I wrote when I revealed my original (handwritten) bracket, the basic idea was to combine my love of college basketball, gambling and rock music (and superfluous lists) into one magical event, and it really didn't matter that I hadn't figured out how bands would advance in the tournament or even what they'd get for winning. All I knew was that it seemed like a fun idea (especially since I didn't have anything else to write my column about that week) and that somewhere, there had to be someone who cared about these...

Ever since it emerged as a punky alternative to Coachella back in 2005, New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival has prided itself on its outsider status ... especially when it comes to booking bands.
While in its early years it featured the likes of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Motion City Soundtrack on the big stage, in recent years, the 'Boozle has expanded its scope to include everyone from 50 Cent to "Weird" Al Yankovic (not to mention the likes of Snoop Dogg and Bret Michaels) and, at last year's fest, Wiz Khalifa and Drake.
So, when it came time to announce the lineup for the 2011 Bamboozle — set for April 29 through May 1 at the New Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey — fans were no doubt expecting an eclectic, head-scratch-inducing selection of artists. And...

The smartest thing Social Distortion ever did was embrace country music. In the mid 1980s, following a sizable hardcore hit with “Mommy’s Little Monster,” the band melded their manic punk with messy country and came up with a sound that wasn’t exactly unprecedented (X, for instance, got there first) but was distinctive and rambunctious. And durable: A quarter-century and a handful of albums later, the Los Angeles outfit has barely changed its sound at all, which sounds all the more relevant in the wake of newer acts like the Hold Steady, the Gaslight Anthem and Lucero....

Like all good things, summer vacations have to end eventually. All the talk show hosts are back to work this week (save for the Comedy Central duo of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, who are pre-empted for the next few days), which means that the guest lists are gigantic. David Letterman kicks off the week strong with a visit from Sylvester Stallone (plugging his upcoming action epic "The Expendables") and a musical performance from Robyn on Monday (July 19). Sheryl Crow stops by for a song on Tuesday (July 20), while Friday (July 23) will see Paul McCartney swing by for a performance.
"The Tonight Show" counters with visits from Kiss (Monday), the Black Eyed Peas (Tuesday), "Eclipse" rockers Metric (Wednesday, July 21), 3Oh!3 (Thursday, July 22) and the Gaslight Anthem (Friday). That is an incredible week of music, augmented by interviews with Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade (Monday) and "Charlie St. Cloud" hunk Zac Efron...
