MGMT are streaming their self-titled new album with an ”Optimizer” visual experience that features bizarre imagery (like lo-fi 3D renderings of a bug creature) and kaleidoscopic neon colors.

If you flip a photo of bats hanging upside down, they look like they’re having a wicked dance-off.

We’ve always thought September should be an exciting month, so we have a proposition for you… How far would you be willing to go to win a gaming session with legendary YouTuber KSI? How about something as simple as creating and sharing a pack of all of your favourite KSI vids? If so, then you’ll be interested to hear that we will be launching a competition with KSI in September, and one of the prizes is to head over to the Rockpack office to play FIFA 14 with KSI.

Want to get involved? Well, patience is a virtue, friends. Check back next week to find out how to enter our KSI competition. In the meantime, make sure you check out KSI’s Rockpack pack to get inspired and prepared for an exclusive video from the man himself.

Once again scientists have discovered that what we’ve been told (by them) about dinosaurs is a lie. After watching all of those documentaries about the pre-historic beasts, we were given the impression that the bigger ones could wiggle their necks like drunken snakes. However, it turns out that we’ve been lied to, because documentaries, museum exhibits and even Jurassic Park didn’t take into account the density of the neck muscles, so they might not have been as flexible as previously thought.

A study has used ostriches to confirm this, since they’re apparently the closest thing to the sauropod dinosaurs as scientists can get these days. Who’d have thought. For dinosaurs, nature and more, here’s a Rockpack channel.

First, everyone was excited about the accuracy of the Xbox One Kinect and what that would mean for drunken games of Dance Central. Then someone mentioned that the Kinect would be on all the time and people as a whole objected to this infringement of their privacy. So Microsoft backtracked and said the Xbox One would not need the Kinect on continuously to work, and everyone calmed down a bit. Despite admitting that the Kinect is no longer a functional requirement, Microsoft are adamant that they are still “100% in on Kinect.”

So we guess if you’re planning to invest in the next gen Xbox, expect your friends to film you dancing around like an idiot in your living room. For more tech and science news, here’s a Rockpack channel.

So once you get past Christina Aguilera’s wailing at the beginning, it all becomes clear. This is Sam’s (as evidenced by the giant lights spelling out his name behind him) opening number for his Bar Mitzvah, and we’re sure that this is the best his life is ever going to be. You have to watch the whole thing, because it just gets better and better – his acknowledgement of the crowd at the end is freakin’ flawless.

Honestly, can we get a reality show about this kid? Or, failing that, get him as a guest judge on any reality dance show, ever. Because we’ll watch it. We will.

If you think you can choreograph a better number to J.Lo’s (ft Pitbull) ‘Dance Again’, you should probably check out her channel on Rockpack.

I mean, you'd think that having a giant gorilla on a baseball team would break some sort of rules. You'd think.
