Thursday Early Afternoon Diversion: Aging FUN.
While we're stoked to see FUN. go from playing Schubas to selling out concerts across the U.S and steal the #1 spot on the charts from Justin Bieber, we can't say we're surprised.

And, if such arrangements continue to allow a band like OK Go unfettered creativity without having to beg for alms, we're O.K. with that.
