A good friend of mine is celebrating her birthday this week, and I've been tasked to make a geek-inspired playlist for the party. Since I already put together a list of the 10 geekiest songs on the radio, I've got a good head start. But besides recent hits from Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Jay-Z, I know I'll have to reach a bit further into the archives for more geek-inspired songs. Take a listen to Read more

We've already seen this cast of characters appear in the first Adidas Star Wars Originals promotional video, but this time, Snoop Dogg, David Beckham, Daft Punk, and newcomer Jay Baruchel are re-creating the well-known cantina scene from Star Wars. It seems as if the crew is heading in to watch the World Cup, but before the action can get started, there's a scuffle at the bar. You know what comes Read more
After Lady Gaga released her tech-centric "Telephone" video on Friday, I couldn't help but rack my brain about other songs that include references to modern-day geek and tech culture. After doing some digging, I can safely say there are plenty of tunes out there, but I couldn't list them all. Narrowing it down to 10 geeky songs that got some major radio play in the past few years was tough, but Read more

Where were you when this song came out? You don't want to know where I was. Let's just say my parents didn't know and I was having the time of my life. It was the late '90s. Nobody does anything like Daft Punk and vice versa. They are electronica innovators and visual experimenters. Who else would group synchronized swimmers, skeletors, spacemen, mummies, and freaky breakers together in one Read more
Trying to pull off this feat while under the influence of alcohol is a tough task. It takes precision, coordination, rhythm, and most all, balance — which is something these goofballs ain't got at the moment. Given the lack of skill on display here, I bet our dancers posted this Girls Done Daft vid on the net before sobering up. At least, I hope that's the case. Read more
Whoever said "out with the old, in with the new" didn't foresee the coming (and staying) of the dance floor disaster we call Soulja Boy. If you compare the moves we bust on the dance floor nowadays with those of the past, you'd understand why someone did everyone a favor and put the Charleston at play to Daft Punk. Let's infuse our new with a little old, shall we? This is awesome. Read more
Not too long ago, the Daft-Punk trend hit the net and everyone got wrapped up in a finger-flipping spell-a-thon. When two girls put their entire bodies into the mix, we thought the trend reached full potential. Not so! If Kanye has anything to say about it, those fingers gotta move "harder, better, faster, stronger" . . . (Thanks, College Humor!) Read more
MTV Movie Blog's Josh Horowitz makes his very own Oscars opening montage, and it's rather hilarious. Popwatch wants to know: What are the greatest duets of all time? The TV Addict jokingly (I hope) imagines what Friday Night Lights might look like on various other networks. Cinematical wonders if Jon Stewart will rock the Oscars. What do you think? Rolling Stone's Rock & Roll Daily says Read more
