by | April 18th, 2013

On The Colbert Report last night, Stephen Colbert and Alan Cumming debuted a song called "Oopsie Daisy Homophobe" that will hopefully start a dialogue between gays and straights the same way that Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's "Accidental Racist" started a dialogue between black people and white people. America is becoming a better place, one country song at a time.

by | May 21st, 2012

Here's the new music video from Hot Chip, directed by Peter Serafinowicz and featuring Terence Stamp, Reggie Watts and Lara Stone.
