No open flame barbecues coolers encouraged
First great thing: Ungdomskulen, the Norwegian band that released two or three of my favorite songs of 2005, have recorded a new song, called "Orindary Son". It's an epic- 7 minutes long (full of their slithery guitar work, the breakdown towards the middle of the track is a highlight), and it's so ridiculously catchy, dudes just have an ear for writing hard-burning, tooth-ground tracks that have perfect verse and chorus hooks. This band reminds me slightly of those Calvin & Hobbes strips when Calvin would be just barely in control of the toboggan as it careened down an improbably steep suburban hill- Ungdomskulen are exciting, funny, slightly dangerous, and extremely satisfying. You can listen to 'Ordinary Son' right here. The band's writing a bunch of songs right now, and they'll probably try to record sometime over the summer.
Second great thing: This seems particularly apropos today, I think it's made the rounds a little bit, but whatever, it's fucking hilarious- (by Brad Neely of Creased Comics)

I would believe it- if you want to outdo your peers in the syle department, what better way to do it in the 18th century than a meta-wig?
