I'm hearing it played over the loudspeakers in Chicago when the Blackhawks score and I just heard it in a beer commercial during the Jays game.

The Fratelli's Chelsea Dagger is the song of the night.

Probably the two most viral pieces of multimedia last week were the audio of Christian Bale ranting and raving on the set of Terminator Salvation and David all drugged up after going to the dentist.

If you somehow missed these clips, here's Christian Bale's rant (NSFW) and here's David After Dentist.

And here they are mashed up together. This is Christian Bale takes David to the Dentist and it's still NSFW.

Me and my nerdy friends were sharing this video today. It's an ad for Seagate but it's actually pretty good.

I don't want to like it, but I do.

I'm going to make my way over to the Kool Haus soon. I'll be checking out the 2008 CASBY Awards.

One of the bands performing, USS, impressed me when I saw them at Edgefest. I wonder if we'll hear Porno Star Trek tonight?

I recently shared the literal version of A-Ha's "Take On Me". The people at Funny Or Die have released a second video in the series. This is "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears.... literally.

Fellow University of Toronto students and grads take note. Do you recognize the library in this video? It's Emmanuel College at Victoria University.

I decided to wake up to EZ Rock this week so I could check out Humble Howard's new morning show. Today my alarm went off while Kim Mitchell was singing "Patio Lanterns".

In 1986 I couldn't escape that song. It was everywhere. It was on high rotation on 680 CFTR, the video was played continuously and it was so damn catchy you couldn't help but sing it early and often.

It was sweet nostalgia waking up to this tune this morning. I was twelve years old again, without the acne and braces, but my voice was pretty much the same!

Radiohead fans called it "Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)", but Radiohead calls it "Nude". The song was at least a decade old when Radiohead finally slapped it on an album. It's the third cut from the awesome In Rainbows.

To promote the release of the single, the band began a competition for fans to create their own remixes of the song, from the individual tracks of guitar, drums, bass, vocals and strings. This is what James Houston did with it. There's a long intro, but be patient. It's well worth the wait.

JewelGurl tipped me off that there's now an official video for Weezer's "Pork and Beans". If you're up to date on your viral YouTube videos, you'll recognize a number of the faces in this vid, from Tay Zonday to Chris Crocker and Miss Teen South Carolina.

This is a new Radiohead video, and it's pretty good. Radiohead's In Rainbows actually gets better with every subsequent listen, and I'd be submitting this for SLS consideration except we only allow one song per artist and I'm reserving that spot for "Jigsaw Falling Into Place".

It's two children with very different lives in different necks of the wood and it's pretty chilling.

Today is the perfect day to share my favourite song from the first band I saw live in concert, Chalk Circle.

April Fool
