Too Random to Ignore: Daft Punk meets Australian agriculture
It has certainly been awhile since IATU has come across anything worthy of a “Too Random to Ignore” title. You might be a bit confused from the title. I still am, a little bit.

Too random to ignore: Snoop Dogg barking no more?
Remember when we told you about Snoop Dogg’s plans to record a reggae album with famed producer and EDM artist Diplo (also of Major Lazer – seen him live in this context, he’s a partier).
