Social media, the bane of modern life that we just can’t live without. Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, MySpace, everyone’s trying to come up with that next big prank, parody, meme, or photo that goes viral and attracts the attention of the world for fifteen minutes. A lot of the stupid shit that makes it doesn’t deserve and the stuff that does, your stuff, languished among your friends and family if you’re lucky.

Today’s song takes this idea and tosses it around like the absurd pursuit that it really is while still have both fun with it and fun doing it.  I love a good animated music video and this is damn-near perfect in my book. It’s one of the newer bands on my playlist, here’s Freak Kitchen with “Freak of the Week”.
