The Brooklyn sextet’s debut Modern Dances is the most energetic, joyful rock album you will hear all year. Give it one listen and you will be hooked.

This is Teen Girl Scientist Monthly, a six-piece indie rock band from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

Clockwise from the top, that's Pete Scalzitti, Morgan Lynch, Matt Gliva, Matt Roi Berger, Hiroyuki Matsuura, and Melissa Lusk.

Their music is extremely upbeat and fun – think Blondie, The New Pornographers, Weezer, Rilo Kiley, Los Campesinos, The Joy Formidable, Ra Ra Riot, Be Your Own Pet, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, stuff like that.

The band, led by guitarist and singer Matt Roi Berger and vocalist Morgan Lynch, have been writing and recording songs since 2010, but they self-released their debut album Modern Dances earlier this year with funding from a Kickstarter campaign. It is one of the catchiest, most addictive rock albums to come out all year.

The best place to start with them is "Summer Skin," the first track and first video from the album.

We already loved Denver Nuggets center JaVale McGee for his ability to climb the invisible ladder and dunk from half-court without jumping forward, but this could catapult him to legendary status.

As the headline suggests, McGee and teammate Evan Fournier uploaded a video of themselves making Mario Kart noises. I don’t know why it exists or why they’re doing it (besides the fact that Mario Kart is awesome, especially Double Dash) (bring back Double Dash), but now the Nuggets should have the ability to nuke any first place team with a blue shell.

First NBA player to make Chocobo noises wins my heart forever. I will also accept a well-done “Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAKEEEEEE!”

By CRACKED Readers  Published: October 21st, 2013  This is a world where we can pull out a phone and bring up a video of donkey show in a matter of minutes. And yet, chugging along are some technologies that don't realize they are practically useless. We asked our readers to show us the worst offende

A league rife with larger-than-life icons lost on of its largest on Friday when former Oilers and Saints coach Bum Phillips passed away. In the two days since his death, the tributes from former players and peers have rolled in for the man who once said, “The harder we played the behinder we got.”

Sports anchor Bud Allen remembered Bum as “a good friend and mentor” and declared, “If you were putting together a Mount Rushmore of Houston sports icon, Bum would be at the top flanked by Earl (Campbell), Nolan (Ryan) and Hakeem (Olajuwan).”

Colts owner Jim Irsay took time off from posting stupid selfies to pay homage on his Twitter account.

RIP, Bum. Great coach and one of NFL's great personalities

— Jim Irsay (@JimIrsay) October 19, 2013

Former Texans player Shaun Cody also joined the chorus of praise for Bum.

Only met Coach Phillips a few times but judging by the kind of person his son is @sonofbum He must have been a great man. RIP Bum Phillips

The Texans themselves paid tribute.

Thank you, Bum Phillips. http://t.co/xB4os6hmCQ. Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/uqqD8HJEBY

And the Houston Chronicle did as well.

Former Saints player Rich Mauti told The Advocate of Bum and those early 80′s Saints teams, “He was the right guy at the right time for us. He brought on players that he wanted to be around.”

Morten Andersen, legendary kicker if ever there was one, said of Bum:

When I think of all the coaches that I played for, Bum is at the top of the list for many reasons. It was fun playing for him. His teams were tight. We were family. He had your back and would defend you. I thought I was getting cut in 1982 after a dismal preseason, but Bum stuck with me and allowed me to mature, develop and figure it out. Like a good parent, he was there for me. I will miss his guidance and wisdom.

And, yes, Texans defensive coordinator and Bum’s son Wade Phillips will coach today as the Texans travel to Kansas City, though whether or not Wade will wear a giant Stetson in honor of his father remains to be seen. The Rog would probably fine him $10,000.

Lastly, not to be forgotten, we await word on whether or not Bum’s passing will mean any alterations to the opera that’s been written about him.

Still need more Bum? There’s always this great NFL “Lost Treasures” film on the great coach who wouldn’t wear his Stetson in the Superdome because that’s just good manners, son.

The Oregon Ducks steamrolled Washington State 62-38 Saturday night, and they looked aesthetically pleasing doing it, donning pink accessories for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It must be fun to play on a program with an infinite uniform budget. Even coach Mark Helfrich wore a pink polo.

There will always be people out there picking weird names for their kids, but when you look at the choices that make their way to the top you'll see that Americans tend to play it safe. The maps above, based on data from the Social Security Administration, show the most popular baby names for girls by state, for babies born from 1960 through 2012, with the colors representing the most popular single name for that year.

But he knew it would be tough to convince her to take a gift from him.

With Wes Anderson releasing a brand new full-length feature less than two years after Moonrise Kingdom, you might be understandably concerned that the mise-en-scène master could be phoning it in (or, in his case, telegraphing it to a calligraphist).

It’s almost too adorable.

Even though this video is a couple years old, it's gaining some popularity on Reddit, so we figured we'd share it with you because it is absolutely adorable and will brighten your day.

It starts off with these two little girls practicing their taekwondo moves on each other.

And then the action picks up as both toddlers exchange blows.

But even that can't stop these two from smiling.

The Los Angeles Lakers' Chinese tobogganing trip is the gift that keeps on giving. First, it allowed us to laugh at Chris Kaman's account of the very real dangers that come with tobogganing down the Great Wall of China, and now it's given us an even greater gift: Nick Young filming himself as he loses control of his toboggan and wipes out.

Of course the metalheads would be into it!

Rock on, rock on always.

We posted the picture above in August, and now we have more context (as if we ever needed it). Improv Everywhere set up this joke as part of their Movies in Real Life series. They’ve done similar movie gags in the past based on Ghostbusters and Star Wars. This time they recreated the boulder chase scene from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark in New York City’s Central Park.

Jeff Miller, dressed as Indiana Jones, ran through Central Park with a replica golden idol as a boulder operated by Ilya Smelansky and Dave Szarejko chased him. The chase ends — Where else? — at a museum.

If you’re wondering how they built the boulder, there’s a behind-the-scenes video here. Or you could just roll around in newspapers, flour, and water and hope for the best.

For future reference, please don’t walk into any crowded public building in New York City and hold up something metal while yelling, “This belongs here.” Dude’s lucky he didn’t get tased.

If you’ve had a few drinks and want to give politicians on Capitol Hill a piece of your mind, drunkdialcongress.org is the one-stop-shop for drunk dialing random members of Congress.

Via drunkdialcongress.org

The site's pitch: "Whether you are a furloughed worker, being forced to work for free, or just fed up at Capitol Hill. Call and yell at a random member of Congress."

Tipsy constituents can then input their phone number and be connected to a member of Congress. The website also includes links to "talking points" on the government shutdown.

And for those unsure what drink would create the best state of mind for talking to a politician, the site includes recipes such as "the southern congressman" and "the sleepy senator."

Until I heard them coming from the mouth of Overly Attached Girlfriend, I never noticed how many of Taylor Swift’s lyrics read like creepy hostage notes. “You took the time to memorize me: my fears, my hopes, and dreams.” “I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now.” “In my dreams you’re touching my face.” Parents, don’t let your kids grow up to be characters from a Taylor Swift song, or Taylor Swift, or Overly Attached Girlfriend, or, really, just don’t have kids. One of them could be the next T-Swift. Can’t take that chance.

Looks like Grover just cut one.

Sesame Street continues to out-cute everything with another educational video. This time Grover (WHO IS BETTER THAN ELMO 4EVA!) helped run five try-it-at-home science experiments with Annie Colbert and Matt Silverman. Together they demonstrated the scientific principles of buoyancy, surface tension, non-Newtonian fluid, density, and chemical reaction (plus glitter).

The video is part of Sesame Street’s Little Discoverers website, which hosts videos, games, and activities for preschoolers to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math. They’ve posted instructions for the five activities in this video over at Mashable.

We also learned Oobleck is Bert’s favorite non-Newtonian fluid. Did anybody break the news to Ernie?

When it comes to color-coded gestures to support awareness in the NFL, it’s titty pink or nothing. Sorry, only room for one color in Pinktober. Case in point, Brandon Marshall, who has a well-known history of mental health issues, wants to wear green shoes during Thursday night’s Giants-Bears game to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.

Too bad. The uniform compliance drones in the league office have already informed Marshall that he can’t wear them.

The league has informed wide receiver Brandon Marshall that he will not be permitted on the field Thursday night wearing the green shoes he planned as a way to call attention to Mental Health Awareness Week, which began last Sunday and runs through Saturday.

Marshall on Tuesday stated that he expected the NFL to fine him and he planned to match the fine with a donation to charity. Now he won’t have the chance for a wardrobe malfunction in a good cause.

League of denial, indeed.

It was David Willis, so far as I know, who first postulated that if slapstick comedy becomes more funny as the intelligence of its victim rises, then Batman is the greatest straight man in the world, capable of making anything funny. That’s probably why the Joker likes him so much. That’s probably also why Sarah Johnson‘s Ordinary Batman Adventures series is so popular, so check it out when you’re done looking at this small sample here.
