LISTEN: JOSEF SALVAT "IN YOUR PRIME"

There's certainly no shortage of electro-pop crooners in operation at the moment, but Australian singer Josef Salvat still manages to stand out from the crowd. With influences ranging from Sia to Björk to Woodkid he combines just the right blend of deeply personal lyrics, catchy melodies, and quirky electronic flourishes to create something truly memorable. Check out this 4-track EP in advance of his forthcoming full-length album.

WATCH: GREAT OUIJA BOARD PRANK

Who knows whether upcoming toy-based horror film "Ouija" will be any good, but at least we get to see this bit of clever viral marketing to support it. They set up quite the scary little scenario for these unsuspecting Brooklynites, and have created what is easily one of the year's funniest videos.

NEWS: DON'T SHARE YOUR USB DEVICES

In case you hadn't yet heard, it is officially no longer safe to share any devices that you plug in via USB with other computers. Of course, one doesn't find a lot of instances of people sharing mice, keyboards, or webcams; so those wouldn't seem like such an obvious threat. But one does see a lot of people using USB flash drives to carry around and easily access all manner of important files. Unfortunately, these devices can very easily be turned into hosts for malware that is then transferred to any computer they come in contact with post-infection. So, it is probably best if you finally take the plunge and start using cloud storage. And if you must use a flash drive, make sure you only plug it in to devices that you, personally, are 100% sure have not been in contact with a USB device that has been in contact with any shared computers.

NEWS: NBC40 TO CLOSE BY YEAR'S END?

In a move that is unlikely to surprise anyone, the new owners of Atlantic City's NBC affiliate are rumored to be telling employees that the station will be going dark on December 31. It certainly wasn't a very good station, with a pretty obviously low production budget and a history of relatively poor coverage of any "local" news story that got more than a few minutes away from Atlantic City itself, but the news still inspires feelings of sadness. I can't say I watched the channel very often growing up, as it often felt that any major news stories in the Cape May area were better covered by some of the Philadelphia network affiliates, and I definitely haven't watched it lately as I have long since "cut the cord", and am therefore not watching any local news programming, but I do follow TV40's team of meteorologists on Facebook, and I find them all to be very entertaining and informative, and I hope they manage to land on their feet if this news turns out to be true. There is still no mention of the news on the channels official webpage, so it may wind up just being a rumor, but if it's not, I wish all the best to everyone who would be losing their jobs as a result.

HOTTIE OF THE WEEK: ERIC DECKER

Some of you may recall that at one time this site was becoming moderately popular for its "Hottie of the Week" posts. For a variety of reasons, I stopped doing them, but seeing as I have recently become interested in restoring this to some of its former "glory", and because people occasionally ask me about it, I have decided to bring the column back.

To kick things off we will visit the world of the NFL. While the league has been under heavy criticism as of late (and for good reason), it is important to remember that there are many attractive men who play in it, and if anything should help with the sting of knowing how poorly some of its players treat women it would be turning around and objectifying one of them. And if any player is worthy of objectification, it's wide receiver Eric Decker, who joins the New York Jets this year after having been a member of the Denver Broncos. With his classic, All-American, boy-next-door good looks, and a very nicely muscled physique, he's the perfect choice to relaunch this feature. Enjoy!

READ: THE SECRET BEHIND THE OUTLET "DEAL"

It's hard to resist the idea of getting a great bargain at a factory outlet store, or at a place like TJ Maxx that purports to be filled up with overstocks or slightly off the mark production runs, and while it is true that you will spend a lot less money at these places than you might at Neiman Marcus or a brand's regular retail locations, you may not be getting what you think you are. It turns out many brands make cheaper lines specifically for outlets and even license their name out to cheaper stores to make you think you're getting something nicer. That's not to say you shouldn't shop at these places, but you should be aware of what you're getting. FULL STORY: MEDIUM

WATCH: "INTERSTELLAR" TRAILER 3

It seems as if I've only really been sharing trailers today, and that would be because that's all that's really interested me yet. And here comes another. So far, the new Christopher Nolan movie has only released teasers that hinted at exactly what would be going on in the film, but that has changed as now there is a full length trailer for "Interstellar". And wow, does it look incredible. Can't wait for this one.

WATCH: "THE BABADOOK" TRAILER

The name is ridiculous, and the trailer is just okay, but there has been considerable buzz building around this Australian horror film, with many people citing as one of the scariest they've seen in a long time. It's currently scoring a very impressive 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is great for a horror movie, or any movie for that matter. I am definitely interested in seeing this one.

WATCH: "AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW" TRAILER

October is upon us, and with it comes the promise of another season of "American Horror Story". Season 4 sees the show telling the tale of a traveling freak show (as you probably guessed from the title), with most of the usual cast returning, along with a few unusual additions (Patti LaBelle?). While the premise makes it sound like it could be one of the series' crazier tales, the trailer makes it look somewhat more straightforward than usual. I guess we'll find out for sure when it begins on October 8.
