Something pleasant

"Cloud Cult - There's So Much Energy In Us (Live on KEXP)" (Watch on YouTube)

"There's So Much Energy in Us" by Cloud Cult-- I apparently had a vague impression that no one was making new, pleasant rock music, but Cloud Cult calls what they're doing experimental indie.

I'm not sure what's experimental about it, I'd call it completely accessible, but this probably just shows how far I am from the music scene.

Destructive toy dinosaurs

Parents use children as an excuse to get really ridiculous with toy dinosaurs.




I usually don't approve of parents lying to children for the fun of it (kids are so naive when they believe what you tell them!), but the amount of energy and skill that goes into those dioramas.... not to mention being willing to make a mess and even sacrifice a good vase!
