As good as David Bowie‘s ‘Space Oddity’ is,Â it’s still rather surreal watching someone perform itÂ from space. The above video was recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield whilst onboard the International Space Station. The upload — which has gone viral since being put on YouTube — is said to have taken six months to make and has [...]

Awesome Mom Plays Black Keys on the Spoons

Emerald Catron — Tue, 07 May 2013 18:52:13 +0000

Don’t be confused by the fact that this video starts with a lady feeding a bunch of kangaroos — this IS a video of a lady rocking out on the spoons. The kangaroo intro merely adds to its general amazingness. Deb “Spoons” Perry really likes ‘Lonely Boy’ by the Black Keys, and so she decided [...]

Mike Adams — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:18:37 +0000

If you intend to show the wicked world a cornucopia of green thumb power this gardening season (and you probably don’t, but keep reading) you had better start exposing your precious sweet leaf to plenty of Black Sabbath. Television gardener (yes, that’s a thing) Chris Beardshaw says that during a recent study of the effects [...]

High School Makes Amazing One-Take Pop Music Medley Video

Emerald Catron — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:25:16 +0000

Nearly eight minutes in length, and with 49 people to choreograph, this video was no small feat. The fact that they’re all high school students certainly makes it more impressive. Watch a cameraman wind his way through the halls of their school as students lip sync (sometimes half-heartedly) along to a bunch of pop hits. [...]

Jameson LaMarca — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:00:22 +0000

You ever go to a sporting event and think "Gosh, this National Anthem is dated. R. Kelly would totally do a better job than that Francis Scott Key guy."

Amazing Piano Student Jams With Billy Joel and Blows All Minds Ever — Look At This Guy!

Jameson LaMarca — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 21:00:28 +0000

This really just made our week, no joke. Q&A sessions can be brutal, particularly in college. Â Most questions lobbed are usually of the safe, “hopefully this won’t embarass me” variety with the occasionally complex but nonsensical “Who invited that guy?” monologues splashed in for color. Then there’s “The Ask,” whereby one brave soul puts the [...]

See Your Favorite MTV VJs Then and Now

Kristy Puchko — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:56:05 +0000

Since 1981, MTV has been a taste-maker, influencing teens and tweens in the ways of music, fashion, movies and social awareness. And if you're old enough to remember when MTV actually centered its programming on showing music videos, then you're old enough to feel nostalgia over the wide array of beautiful people who served as VJs over the past thirty-some years.

The Best GIFs From the 2013 Grammy Awards

Sarah Shahzad — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:23:41 +0000

No event can be declared a success unless it is immediately followed by the mass production of memes and GIFs regarding said event. The Grammys this year look to have been dominated by Taylor Swift's unrestrained excitement (she cannot stop dancing), Justin Timberlake, Prince's swagger and the odd way Jay-Z seems to be presiding over the whole affair.

'Kanye West Wing' Mash Up Works Surprisingly Well

Emerald Catron — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 23:04:04 +0000

If there's one thing Tumblr is good for, it's single-serving microblogs that are Kanye West-related portmanteaux . First, there was Kanye Wes Anderson, and now we have Kanye West Wing. We're hoping for Kanye Westward Ho, which will put his lyrics over the stills from the 1935 John Wayne movie, Kanye Wes Craven, which will Photoshop Ye's head onto Freddy Krueger's body, and Kanye Stabbing Westward, which will just be mashup Kanye songs with music from the industrial rock band behind the hits 'Shame' and 'Save Yourself.'

Let's just admit the internet exists for cats. Not scientific research. Cats. Fortunately for us, 13 of the internet's most famous cats are teaming up ... to raise money for charity. We know -- we were a little concerned it might be a "kill all the humans"-style takeover of Earth too. We're getting off easy this time -- all they want us to do is buy a deck of cards!

The 'Al Roker Pooped His Pants' Remix Is Here

Emerald Catron — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:53:54 +0000

Forget 'Les Mis,' this is the people's song. Al Roker's admission that he unleashed a brown torrent of filth into his Jockeys at the White House has been autotuned and turned into a song. "Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of nauseous men? It is the music of a people who will not eat Indian buffet agaaaaain!!!" *Much*

Emerald Catron — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:59:22 +0000

This guy definitely went to a lot of trouble to propose to his girlfriend. He wrote a song, made a music video, flew her to Australia and arranged to have it played at the end of another video at a giant party with all of his friends. Sincerely, how would you say no to that?

When the balloon did land Falcon was nowhere to be found and it turned out he had been hiding in the [...]
