When you're looking for something upbeat, some rhythmic clapping and a kazoo solo really help. "It Hurts" is from Bad Bad Hats' 2013 EP of the same name and it's just kind of a good soundtrack for everything. The indie, folk, hipster vibe is definitely present, but if that's what it takes to get some kazoo happening…

Streetlight Manifesto's new record, The Hands That Thieve, is an instant classic in the ever-shrinking world of really stellar ska music simply by virtue of being a Streetlight Manifesto album. But what "Ungrateful" brings to the table is something a little subtler; it's a great Catch 22 song.

ISS Commander and mustachioed Canadian Chris Hadfield has given us no end of joys during his current five-month stint floating above our blue orb. But perhaps none of them is as touching—and just downright incredible—as his sendoff cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity."

We've seen 3D-printed records before, and while they don't sound great, they're still pretty neat.

The original Iron Man, first of the Favreau trilogy, dropped all the way back in 2008—plenty of time to forget all about bald Jeff Bridges and his cantankerous Iron Monger. But before you head to the theater to see the new one, get a quick refresher on the story so far—and another glimpse of Mickey Rourke's impressive …

What happens when you combine a Bob Dylan-style groove with George Harrison-style animatronics? A poignant story of love and devotion, that's what.

This is a good song. No one is saying that you should listen to it while in any type of altered mental state whatsoever. It's just a good song. The Wings recorded it in 1972 and it got pretty popular, though the BBC was turned off by some of its lyrics. Paul apparently had this to say about their concerns:
