Andrew W.K. Rocks Out On “Silent Night”
Man “Double Dream Hands” His Way To Dance Magic
What do you get when you combine Gary Busey and elaborate Broadway musical dance numbers? This guy. John Jacobson runs an elementary music education magazine called Music Express Magazine. He’s also the author of the song “Planet Rock,” which can be heard on this video. Jacobson wanted to leave nothing to chance, so he developed a choreographed routine to go along with the song–featuring his signature move, Double Dream Hands. Live the dream, John Jacobson, live the dream. [Urlesque] Keep reading »
Loading ...R. Kelly Steps It Up On “Jimmy Fallon”
Real talk: R. Kelly is a very questionable dude. But! Speaking as someone who has actually stopped what I’m doing so I could watch all 36 parts of “Trapped in the Closet,” he’s also made some of the best jams ever.

Something awful I have to admit: It makes me feel slightly better when I learn that a couple I know has broken up. I’m not talking close friends — of course I feel horrible for them and want to do everything in my power to make them feel better. I mean those friends who are more acquaintances — who I know more about through their random Facebook status updates than anything else.
