We haven’t figured out which faded alt-rock singer Paul Rudd’s character in last night’s Veronica Mars may have been based on, but we now know that the music by his formerly famous band, My Pretty Pony, was from the Austin power-pop outfit Cotton Mather, who also had their music appear on the show… More »

Now that Veronica Mars’ time-slot is being taken over by the Pussycat Dolls–whose new talent-search show, Fetch Me A Skank, starts an eight-part run next month–we’re guessing the Mars Detective Agency Mars Investigations will be shutting down for good at the end of this… More »
