Just in case Tuesday is already shitty for you, Traditional Hard Robots air-drops in some Sesame Street Disco Support. Grover wears it better than Travolta, not gonna lie. (via Traditional Hard Robots)

Infographic Of The Day
Hey Brooklyn hipsters, here’s a statistic that’s gonna make you all cry. Into your lush & thick beards.
An amusing time-waster. A reader notes:
Chief takeaway? Beards come from dihydrotestosterone, a chemical that “promotes both beards and balding.” Andrew Sullivan, SOLVED!
You gotta work with what you’ve got.

Midnight Music: Jack Beats – Beatbox
OWSLA sent out the call and the world of music related heads answered. With appearances by Flux Pavilion, Annie Mac, Benga, Skream, Atrak, Rusko, Baauer, Mista jam, Fake Blood and dozens more, this is truly the star-studded video of the season. A proper dance tune, the combination of bass, beats and the video showing the love of the party is exactly what’s needed as we start to melt into spring.
Queen Being Awesome!
It exists in .gif form! I’m not going to ruin it, just go here and see! This is definitely something I never imagined, but now that I see it, it makes total sense. Freddie Mercury & his boys being goofballs! (via Traditional Hard Robots)
Anti-preferences in regional listening
And the internet vindicates me. Everyone in the USA hates R. Kelly. There’s hope for America yet.
In previous posts, we’ve seen that different regions of the country can have different listening preferences. So far we’ve looked at the distinctive artists in any particular region. Perhaps equally interesting is to look at artists that get much fewer listens in a particular region than you would expect. These are the regionalanti-preferences, the artists that are generally popular across the United States, but get much less love in a particular part of the country.
To find these artists, we merely look for artists that drop the furthest in rank on the top-most-played chart for a region when compared to the whole U.S. For example, we can look at the top 50 artists in the United States, and find those artists of the 50 that drop furthest in rank on the New Hampshire chart. Try it yourself. Here are the results:
Artists listened to more in United States…

Benny Hill Makes Everything Better. Even Raves.
If you’ve not seen this yet, it’s 45 seconds of amazing mashup saxamaphone for your Friday afternoon. Benny Hill’s theme has truly become a cultural staple, as it replaces the rather heinous tech-whatever that’s playing in the original video and gives the bro-trio (Pokemon!) a fun rhythm to bop to. Also that dude in the black tank totally works out. (via Laughing Squid)
2013 First Time In 56 Years No Black Artist Had A #1 Single.
Just FYI, for all of the R&B, hip hop and straight up rap we had in our aural universe last year, not a single person of color had a number one hit. No Robin Thicke, in all his gropey ass glory, doesn’t count. No black artist had a top #1 Billboard hit, for the first time in over 50 years. I’m not sure what to think about this, but I hadn’t heard it reported anywhere, so I wanted to make a note of it. Cultural appropriation isn’t cool guys. (via Colorlines)
