What I like is that there isn't overtly comical, just really nice silly songs.  Also, I want Charlene's Boglin.

Also, I never noticed that Key and Peele where in the White & Nerdy video.

An undisclosed number of congratulations to Al!  I had no idea that was a problem until now, glad he's getting paid.

[The Lurker]

Well that's interesting.

Also an example of an old story suddenly doing the rounds again for no apparent reason.

That is some pretty interesting news from over a year ago that's technically not news.

But unfortunately, restaurant staff won't legally be able to sing "Are You Ready for Freddy?" by the Fat Boys every Halloween, as I have long dreamed.

The original Primus line-up returns for a tribute to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  I must admit that their take on Pure Imagination is pretty cool.

Dead Monkeys have split up again.

Finally, now you can EAT the songs of David Bowie.  Or something.  Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art will be hosting a David Bowie exhibit soon, and to celebrate, the Museum's in-house restaurant will produce food stuffs named after Bowie songs and related things (yep, there's a Labyrinth reference in there.

NEW BLUR ALBUM!!!!

[Compound]

Hey, it's every Bjork song, mushed all together and played at the same time:

It's pretty much unlistenable, BTW. That's not a slam against Bjork, just a statement that, yeah, a hundred or so songs played at the same time just becomes noise. And it's about 10 minutes of that.


Still, it's no "This is How You Remind Me of Someday."
