It’s high time we add to the glut of people posting “Call Me Maybe” videos. This one just proves the time tested rule: when you combine pop songs and Star Wars only good can happen. There are a lot of best parts of this video, but the best best part is working in the cantina.

The only thing that could make this tribute album any better is if every single person dressed like Stevie Nicks while they preformed the songs. That would be a real tribute.

A new music streaming service has come, and we love it. Songza makes three hour curated playlists for those who don’t have the time, energy or weirdly encyclopedic knowledge of music to do it themselves. Do you need a weekday dance party? There’s a playlist for that. Happen to be coding a new website? There’s a playlist for that too. Our favorite “Unexpected Best Night Ever” is the soundtrack to (and story of) our lives.

Meet Ganja Grandma! This 73-year-old was busted on charges that she ran a lucrative drug ring supplying marijuana to drug dealers in not one, not two, but FOUR states.

Police said they found about 4 pounds of pot, a semiautomatic pistol and a revolver, and more than $276,000 in cash when they raided Darlene Mayes’ home in rural Craig County.

Investigators say the elderly woman supplied about 40 percent of the pot circulating in the area, including the city of Tulsa and parts of nearby Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.

“That was quite a surprise,” Bobby Floyd, police chief for the city of Vinita, told The Daily yesterday.

“After the sexual free-for-all that was 1970s glam rock, the pendulum swung back. The 1980s alt-rock landscape was impossibly straight. That’s ironic, since its holy trinity — R.E.M., Hüsker Dü, and The Smiths — was made of bands whose frontmen are now respectively queer, out, and sexually nebulous. But in the darker corners of the underground, bands were sprouting up that were defiantly — and loudly — gay. ” - Adam Rathe for Out.com

One of our favorite people wrote and collected an oral history on the Queercore movement of the 80’s. Some really interesting insight in here from some of the major players of the movement. Go read it.

Ok so this is actually kind of terrifying. This is essentially the end to any sort of cognitive thinking, planning and decision making on our part. Where is the sense of adventure and life in that??

Linda Holmes put it best “unplanned moments are supposed to be there” via NPR

Aren’t some of the best moments in life the ones you fall into by chance?

When we asked you what you thought about “speak-singing” — that gray area between implied melody and a dramatic reading — pretty much everyone agreed on Lou Reed, specifically “Sweet Jane.” Otherwise, it’s a divisive issue that All Songs Considered hosts Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton argue over on this week’s episode.

Hear the pros and cons of “speak-singing,” the polarizing art form.

Some interesting songs in here that I had never considered “speak-singing” before. U2?
