Guys, you really want to go listen to nu!folk act Dala. Their set at the Newport Folk Festival can be heard here. Two girls from Scarborough (an unfortunate suburb of Toronto; also where the Barenaked Ladies are from)! Dala ended up being invited onto the main stage @ Newport to play between Neko Case & Arlo Guthrie!

Let me repeat that - BETWEEN NEKO CASE AND ARLO GUTHRIE!

Needless to say, they are made of awesome.

All I could think about when I saw this Sartorialist post was please God, no one show that to Chris Pine!

Or, for that matter, Robert Pine. The Pine men like their plaid, it's true.

(If you can't see the embed, Bobby McFerrin's demonstration of neural expectations, as shown by using the pentatonic scale to trigger audience participation, can also be watched on Vimeo here. It's kind of amazing!)
