Thus far we have seen OK Go dance on treadmills, sing with dogs, perform with a camouflage marching band, and execute a song with a massive Rube Goldberg device. However, last night’s Super Bowl ad may have topped them all for complexity, when the band used a specially modified Chevy Sonic to perform their song “Needing/Getting.” It involves actuated mechanical arms, air-fed melodicas, a thousand wrecked instruments, and some pretty impressive stunt driving on the part of frontman Damian Kulash. Trust me, you need to see this.

Those that regularly visit torrent sites may notice that some of them occasionally feature a message of the day that is promoting music or film that the creators willingly uploaded to the site in the hope that it’d create some artist awareness. However, most of the torrent sites that feature the occasional band or film rarely do it in some official format. The Pirate Bay is here to make artist promotion through torrent sites official, and is launching The Promo Bay, an artist promotion platform through which an artist can be promoted on The Pirate Bay’s homepage, free of charge.

Bucky Studios compiled some of the best Philosoraptor musings and put it to a generic pop song just in time for the new year. Move over, Auld Lang Syne, and allow us to question existence itself for the new year, rather than forgetting auld acquaintances.

In space no one can hear you scream, but they can apparently hear your righteous dub. This video, from animators Ryan Todd and Chad Turner, positively drips with that old-school sci-fi feel. It’s got funky spaceships, all-seeing eyes, crystals, spheres, and some guy with a beard. What more could you want? The music is by Chllngr, if that’s your thing. If not, just sit back and enjoy the wiggy visuals.

So if you’ve looked at a Guitar Hero game and thought to yourself “man, this isn’t nearly simplified enough,” I’ve got something for you. It’s called the TabStrummer guitar and it will let you play entire chords with the press of a single button. That’s right, you only need one finger to play guitar now. Okay, well, one finger on each hand. The TabStrummer is its own standalone device, so you can bring it camping and play crazy cyber-tunes around your electronic fire, or something.

Because who knows how long this will last. But right now, you can call 719-266-2837 and be connected to “Call and Oates, the emergency Hall and Oates helpline.” Once connected, you’ll be directed to a call-tree to make your selection from a limited — but  essential — selection of Hall and Oates songs. Pick up your phone right now, and dial.

In what is probably the best thing you will see today, naturalist and TV explorer extraordinaire Sir David Attenborough sings Louis Armstrong’s classic “What a Wonderful World” as the beauty of nature is gorgeously displayed. It’ll make you smile, go on and watch it.

Today, NASA and the Texas-based streaming media company RFC Media are launching Third Rock, a radio station for NASA enthusiasts. Now, you might think that this would be nothing more than audio versions of the kind of content you’d see on NASA TV. Instead, the station is actually a mix of various rock tunes intercut with space-related news bites and occasional ads for NASA jobs. It’s actually not as bizarre as it sounds, trust me.

Wake Island Air Force base is located some 2,000 miles east of Japan and 2,000 miles west of Hawaii, putting it smack dab in the middle of the Pacific. During some recent renovations on the base, someone opened a door marked with a restricted area sign and made a startling discovery: A cache of over 9,000 carefully organized and cataloged vinyl records. Amazingly, the extensive collection has been valued at between $90,000 and $250,000.

Using an old flatbed scanner, two oscilloscopes, and busted hard drive, YouTube user bd594 was able to create this startling rendition of the Animals’ classic “House of the Rising Sun.” You may think you’ve heard classic tunes recreated on barely functional pieces of electronics before, but this is a truly impressive effort.

Read on after the break for a full list of the “performers.”
