San Francisco’s freezing-cold answer to Coachella, the Outside Lands festival, made its debut last year, and despite some organizational problems and nerve-wracking sound issues, a good time was had by all. The organizers have just announced this year’s lineup, set for August, but they didn’t just post a list on the internet; they managed to get ranger, bison and beaver puppets to sing a crazy little song punning on the names of all the bands. This may be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and I’ve been to Japan. In fact, I’m not even going to tell you any of the bands playing, so you have to watch it.

DONALD TRUMP & DEMOCRACY
