Basement Jaxx duo's new music video continues a string of oddities in their repertoire, as it follows the scientific process of creating a robot that, in the final stage, closely imitates twerking, the sexually seductive dance that Miley Cyrus launched into the stratosphere. Hmmm, maybe it's time for the British duo to spin their own "Where's your head at?"
Testosterone Festival is back and with it the steroid, sorry, stereotypical definition of manly men. And since it's a wedge with a wedge, Sylvester Stallone and a group of action movie stars let the means of warfare do the talking this time as well, as they're dealing with a ruthless arms dealer.
