The day-to-day music news cycle can be a bit of a slog. Artist announces album, artist premieres track, artist premieres video, artist announces tour, artist streams album, blah blah blah, over and over again. But every once in awhile, something wonderfully bizarre happens. Somebody carves a giant wooden penis, or live-Tweets "The Little Mermaid", or performs an eight-hour synth jam. Something happens that is so out of the ordinary, we all sit up and go, "WTF".
Here, then, is a rundown of the best of those moments from 2014.
