It's called Mandatory Happiness, and is due in the next month or two.

First, can we make this a sticky?

That needs to be compulsory viewing for everybody who ever posts anything anywhere ever.
It's not comprehensive, but guys, watch it! Ignore the American spellings...
(Okay, most of you are American, I'm gonna allow this - but remember that spelling can be regionalised, like the colour of your flag when you're travelling.)

Album looks awesome. For the last two days, he has been releasing (one per day, until the whole album is done!) one video from the album on youtube (through FaceBook). So far, so hilarious!

I believe the plan is a new song, every day, for the first week.

If it helps, I was joking when I suggested that.
(But I don't mind if it actually happens! :P)


I believe the plan is a new song, every day, for the first week.

#8videos8days is the hash-tag, I think. This was the second. The first was Tacky, based on Pharrell's Happy, and the third was out last night.
Tacky was good, too (so was Happy, I checked it on YouTube first). I haven't had a chance to see the third yet.

I suppose keeping it here till the album's out won't hurt; ignore me!

"Word Crimes" was a cool video, had me in stitches. That was the first one I saw, then "Foil" after that.
