mtvU

Hi, I’m Denzel. Like you, I’m a struggling college student who’s plugged in to music nearly 24 hours a day. Here are my video picks to celebrate February’s Black History Month.

AM Taxi, Cas metah, Most Serene Republic, A Place To Bury Strangers, and Voodoo Farm all want your votes to get into the mtvU rotation.

Alexei and KoM, a.k.a. Fly Gypsy, are this week’s guests in the mtvU Hot Seat where they tell us all about themselves, and answer our burning questions.

This week’s Freshmen winner is The Happy Hollows, who took about 50% of the votes.

Alternative rockers AFI really spike the punch bowl in their new video for “Beautiful Thieves.”

Krysta kicks off Black History month with a powerful Dean’s List that looks back at African American struggles… and forward with confidence.

Asobi Seksu have currently commissioned an acoustic tour in support of their release Rewolf , and I managed to catch their live act last Friday in a very intimate setting downtown at Le Poisson Rouge.

Beatnick & K-Salaam, The Happy Hollows, Sparks The Rescue, Waka Flocka Flame, and We Are the Arsenal are all vying for your vote that will get them into video rotation.

From sickness on the road to astrophysics, The Dear Hunter’s Casey Crescenzo enlightens us in this week’s Hot Seat.

Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Madonna and more raised the roof and raised the money. Catch all the Hope For Haiti Now Telethon performances right here.
