We checked in with some folks recently for a little end of '07 "exit interview" before we enter a new year. It's safe to say that our first subject in this series had a pretty big year with his band Ghostland Observatory (let's just say they've certainly outgrown our Movable Hype shows). With a new album coming out in March, they're poised for world domination in the 2008. How will you celebrate New Year's Eve?......

Ghostbusters has been in the form of a videogame ever since it hit the big screen in 1984, and since then it's been through many versions and platforms. Seems it has taken nearly 24 years to perfect it though, as it's just been announced the movie will haunt us til the end up time with a series of top-notch videogames to come.First title in what the publisher hopes will be a series of Ghostbusters games......

Mr. Brownstone is reuniting this weekend with a show at Bowery Ballroom.

The honor of first in line goes to two gentlemen whom Gizmodo interviewed at the Fifth......

There have been rumors about TRL ending its run this year (most likely by the summer) and now comes news that MTV will cut 250 jobs and invest in digital. By now we're all aware that the firing spree started yesterday. With viewers turning to the internet more and more, we suppose it only natural for the network to follow them. While we're happy this may mean the end of screaming teens standing outside of......

When MTV first aired in the early 80's we were too young to really appreciate it, we grew in to it though and have fond memories of sitting on our plush carpet and watching "groundbreaking videos". These were pre-texting and pre-internet days, so to vote for a favorite video on the Top 5 at 5, one would would call "1-800-DIAL-MTV". The game show, Remote Control was one of the first (of many) non-music programs.......

You know those screaming kids who stand outside of 1515 Broadway in Times Square when they should really be in school? They have signs declaring their love for someone we've never heard of and their high pitched shrills are often heard below 14th. They are there because of MTV's TRL (Total Request Live), today's version of what we used to call the Top 5 at 5 (when we actually had to call in to place......
