Earfarm just posted the funniest video I’ve seen all week. It’s a fan-made video of Office clips with a parody of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Office fans might remember the origin of this parody stemmed out of the episode where Ryan accidentally started an office fire in the microwave and Dwight sang [...]

After a little babelfishing, I think I get the basic idea of this article — which is that the French equivalent of the Republican party used MGMT’s song “Kids” to support their party (at a rally, I think) without MGMT’s permission.

Hey, remember that way fun Estelle + Ting Tings remix that The Hood Internet did? Yeah, it’s awesome. So awesome, in fact, that Estelle and the Ting Tings recreated it live at the BRIT awards. Now, I wouldn’t swear that they’re ripping off the Hood Internet (it would be well within their rights, though), but [...]
