It’s called “Electric Worry” by Clutch. One YouTube commenter calls them “ZZ Top on steroids.” I like ’em. Check out the full song in the band’s music video below. If you like it too, iTunes has it for sale.

Caught on camera: Microsoft Store employees dancing; ay caramba!
This is so shameful. Watch as these colorful Mission Viejo Microsoft Store employees try and act out a clearly routinized dance to “I’ve Got a Feeling.” Ah, it’s not like an Apple Store would try something like this. What..they wouldn’t!

Travis Barker remixes “Forever” (spoiler: it’s amazing)
Travis Barker (of Blink 182 fame) has gone ahead and remixed another song (adding to his repitoire that includes Eminem’s 3AM, Lil Wayne’s Lollipop, and Solja Boy’s “Crank That”). This time its Drake’s “Forever,” which features slick verses from Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Eminem. Says MTV News:
“Working strictly off an a cappella track, Barker crafted his “Forever” mix from the ground up, spending a week tinkering in the studio with his production partner, Sweatshop. The main goal, he said, was to build a drum line that matched the constantly shifting mood and tempo of the song…”
Man this guy’s good.

Music video: Lady Gaga – “Bad Romance”
Some are calling Gaga’s latest video for her new single “Bad Romance” “her best yet,” and I tend to agree with these sentiments. Though her music video for “Paparazzi” was very unique and stands out in its own way, “Bad Romance” just feels bigger and, well, better. The costume designs, the choreography (with a nod to MJ’s “Thriller”), and the overall production design of it is flat out superb and entrancing. Take a look for yourself and enjoy Gaga and her, erm, eccentric-ness.
Happy Birthday to the late, great Carl Sagan
