Hard Rock Lobster
If you could take two very different genres of bands and mix them together, what would it sound like? Mac Glocky over on YouTube has done just that. He has combined the B-52's classic Rock Lobster with the sound of System of a Down. Yes, that 'System' which has such amazing songs as Chop Suey and Aerials.

But what happens when all that stuff becomes junk? Well, debris in space is supposed to be 'deorbited'. However, it seems that Dish Network didn't quite do that to their decommissioned equipment, and the FCC is none too pleased. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy at The Verge has more. The FCC has issued its first fine for space junk to Dish Network for not properly deorbiting its satellite.
