Cee-Lo’s Funky New Tune: “F**k You”
Cee-Lo Green’s upcoming anthem for the dumped, Fuck You, may not be radio-friendly, but it sure is catchy:
I get the feeling that this is going to be a big R&B / alt-rock crossover hit, in the same way that Outkast’s Hey Ya was.
A hilarious worst-case scenario involving Facebook and a job interview. Contains some weird adult situations, which is why it’s so funny:

Last Night at Loser Karaoke
Another Thursday, another evening at "Loser Karaoke", the karaoke night at the cheap and cheerful Tequila Sunrise where a lot of people from Accordion City’s social music scene belt out tunes.
My number last night was the Violent Femmes’ two-chord anthem, Add It Up. Ethan Hawke ruined the song in Reality Bites, and it’s my duty to take it back:

Words
I love this short film. When you watch it, remember that its title is Words:
Words was made by Will Hoffman and Daniel Mercadante of the New York/Los Angeles-based production company Everynone, with original music by Keith Kenniff.
The film is meant to accompany the Words episode of the radio show Radiolab. Here’s its abstract:
It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without words. But in this hour of Radiolab, we try to do just that. We speak to a woman who taught a 27-year-old man the first words of his life, and we hear a firsthand account of what it feels like to have the language center of your brain wiped out by a stroke. Plus: a group of children invent an entirely new language in Nicaragua in the 1970s.
