...northern city. They don’t appear to take themselves too seriously: think less prep-schooled Strokes and more a down-home Modest Mouse. Their video for the song “Wild Mountain Nation” is a mash-up between a Best Week Ever skit and Warhol kitsch. Much like a disjointed nightmare, a Godzilla-sized lead singer dwarfs the skyscrapers around him, a cut-out plane flies overhead, and a man parachutes into a giant flower pot. Sound like a trip? At the very least, it was probably inspired by one at some point along...

I waited for my Miranda Rights...
...almost seems like Justin Timberlake drew influence for his now-infamous “Saturday Night Live” skit from a piece currently at the Busch-Reisinger museum.Entitled “Finger Box,” the work is featured in the museum’s new exhibit, “Multiple Strategies: Beuys, Maciunas, Fluxus,” which opened Feb. 24. “Finger Box,” by the artist Ay-O, is simply a cardboard box instructing the viewer to insert his or her finger into a hole in order to discover what hidden...
