Guns N' Roses' "November Rain," the epic music video by which all epic music videos are measured, clocks in at just over nine minutes, or roughly the same amount of time for Lady Gaga to actually start singing in her new "Marry the Night" video. For eight minutes and 47 seconds, Gaga once again takes her Little Monsters on a bizarre tour of cut-and-paste dialogue, otherworldly fashion, quick glimpses of borderline nudity, and too many post-modernistic pop culture references to list. Except this time, Gaga herself directed the video, so there's really no filter telling her to turn the volume down on her weird and ambitious vision.

"Marry the Night" starts off with Gaga, strapped to a bed in a mental hospital, providing audio commentary to her own music video, telling the viewer who designed the nurses' uniforms (it's next year's Calvin Klein) and why they wear berets to the side. Next comes a long scene where Gaga, "the morphine princess," tells her nurse, "I'm gonna make it… I'm gonna be a star… You know why… 'Cause, I have nothing left to lose…" And then, finally, the music starts at the four-minute mark. Except it's a piano concerto and not "Marry." It'll be another four minutes before the 'Born This Way' single turns up.

Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesHaving recently announced they'll be unleashing their own brand of beer, Hanson have unwittingly made their first culturally relevant move in 13 years: They're now part of the ever-expanding musicians-shilling-alcohol universe.

It only makes sense for rockers and rappers (and still-soldiering '90s boy bands) to attach their name to a brand of booze. Sure, singers endorsing sodas might fizzle because they're clearly shilling (Exhibit A, Exhibit B), but an artist connecting their cachet with beer or liquor is a win-win. Diddy isn't just cashing a paycheck when he name-checks Ciroc—he's trying to help you get your party on! (And if you refuse to party with his brand of vodka, he will ice you).

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' film will hit theaters on December 21, which means we're also just three weeks away from the follow-up of Trent Reznor's Oscar-winning 'The Social Network' score. The Nine Inch Nails frontman previously promised to unveil all the soundtrack information tomorrow, but a few key details have emerged. Like, Reznor's score is roughly three hours long, which is longer than the film itself (two hours and 40 minutes runtime, says Rotten Tomatoes) and more than the two hours he already had recorded in January 2010. In fact, Trent and his collaborator Atticus Ross created so much music for the film, they needed six records for the score's upcoming vinyl release. You could probably read Stieg Larsson's entire "Millennium" trilogy in less time than it will take to listen to Reznor's 'Dragon Tattoo' score.

This year's oldest Grammy nomineeAs expected, Adele, Kanye West, Bruno Mars, Radiohead, and Bon Iver all scored multiple nods at last night's Grammy Nominations concert, but as with all Grammy Awards, there were a bunch of nominees that no one could have predicted. Last year, it was Woody Allen, Cyndi Lauper, and a 40-year-old Beatles song that were the Grammy's biggest oddities, and this year is even stranger. Like two nods for the creator of 'Family Guy', a folk nomination for a grunge icon, and a Spoken Word category packed with stars that you wouldn't associate with "Music's Biggest Night." You've seen who's up for the awards, you've heard all about who was snubbed, and you were shocked that the Grammy voters actually take Skrillex seriously. Now, check out The Amp's list of the 10 Grammy's strangest nominations:

1) Seth MacFarlane: The 'Family Guy' creator was nominated in not one but TWO categories: Best Song Written For Visual Media for the cartoon's "Christmastime Is Killing Us" and, more surprisingly, Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for his album 'Music is Better Than Words'. In the latter category, the man of a million voices will compete against legit singers like Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, and Susan Boyle. That's even more unbelievable than a talking, boozing dog and a murderous baby with a British accent.
