6. What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know? It's a good question, one that's been answered in the form of a song, sung to the tune of that Gotye hit.

8. Jimmy Fallon gets on his bike with the dudes from LMFAO in The Spin Class Song. Close your eyes for the "bum shots". (YouTube)
9. MIA keeps releasing remixes of her Bad Girls hit faster than I can listen to them. Here's the third from Leo Justi, a Middle Eastern-tinged warped dubstep thumper that I kinda dig. (Pretty Much Amazing)
10. Speaking of Pretty Much Amazing, a new song called Hippy by Kiwi act Ghost Wave is currently leading their selection of ace songs. Nice choice dudes. (PMA)
