My sister bought Just Dance Greatest Hits a few days ago, and my initial gameplay experiences suggest I just might like it more than Dance Central. A particular highlight is “Rasputin” by Boney M., a disco group with British, German, Jamaican, Monteserratian, and Aruban roots. Its drum intro sounds like it may have inspired Daft Punk’s “Robot Rock.”

Jeopardy!, Television, Watch And/Or Listen to This Leave a comment
The past few weeks, Conan has been presenting video evidence that Alex Trebek has been hosting Jeopardy! for too long and has accordingly gone completely insane. This “evidence” consists of spliced clips of various Jeopardy! clues made to seem like one nonsensical clue (e.g., “This ugly guy, Will Smith [not the black one] can sometimes track down one of these Irish fairies, in this type of marriage”). Think of it as Jeopardy! Mad Libs. And Jeopardy! Mad Libs works so well in large part due to the voice of Alex Trebek, one of the best enunciators in North America.

You’ll recognize this one from that Honda Civic commercial. Stop using our hip artists, corporations! Actually, no, keep using them, I love hearing them on my TV. That doesn’t mean I’ll be buying your products, though. (Unless they’re quality products, in which case, talk to me.)

The first few times I heard Zedd ft. Foxes’ “Clarity,” I thought it was merely okay. Turns out it’s excellent.
