Remember MmmBop? It was that song that rattled around in your head for the better part of the 90s. Well, now the three little scamps that brought us the infectious tune are grown men and they make beer now.
MmmHops [well-played] is the newest offering from the Hanson brothers. Part of the proceeds from sales of the beer and its merchandise will go towards relief for those affected by the Oklahoma tornadoes.

Famous musicians, because they can be an odd and pampered bunch, have been known to make some strange requests in their concert riders. Artist Henry Hargreaves decided to relish in the ridiculousness, by creating a photo series inspired by a few of these diva-ish demands, shot in a Flemish Baroque still-life style.
Beyoncé: Juicy baked chicken, heavily seasoned: garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Busta Rhymes: Twenty-four pieces of fried chicken, Rough Rider condoms, Guinness.
Foo Fighters: Big-ass kielbasas that make men feel self-conscious.
Britney Spears: Fish and chips, McDonald’s cheeseburgers without the buns, 100 prunes and figs,
a framed photo of Princess Diana.
Lady Gaga: Small plate of cheese (nonsmelly, nonsweaty), on ice.
Marilyn Manson: Gummi bears.
Mariah Carey: Cristal Champagne, bendy straws.

Tom Waits sounds like Cookie Monster. So a video of Cookie Monster lip-syncing Waits’ Hell Broke Luce needed to happen. Enjoy.

Mmmm… Vinyl. Brought to us by Miss Insomnia Tulip, Classic Album Cover Cake Pops depict some of the greatest albums of all time. You may have seen a few of these show up as a small square on your iPod.
The pops were created for an unspecified client, and unfortunately not available for mass consumption.

What artists have to do to sell an album these days. Well, making the album out of a giant block of sugar is a good start. For Beacon’s first LP The Ways We Separate, Brooklyn-based sculptor Fernando Mastrangelo created a 13″x13″ cast sugar housing for the vinyl record.
And everyone loves sugar… You’ll just have to explain to your friends what vinyl is. The limited edition is available for pre-order here.

Instant ramen noodles… They save us tons of money, and provide enough sodium per serving to last us at least a few weeks. Ramen Noodle Soup by Steven Jo is a worthy ode to the coed staple. And, unlike most YouTube music videos, it appears to have actually had a budget. It must be from all the money that they saved on dinner.
And, whether you subscribe to the instant variety of ramen or not, you’ll probably be singing this tune uncontrollably for most of the day. Our apologies in advance.
