The band members all sounded like Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake's SNL R-and-B guys.

Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link, thanks to a mention of it by Lev Grossman (in a Reddit AMA reprinted by Flavorwire, I think?). It is so painfully good, and strange. I often think I'm too old and set in my ways to fall in love with a writer like I did with, say, Mikhail Bulgakov in college, but the way Link is…

"socially sanctioned form of mental illness": Begs to be an Inventory list.

Mmm, Kalamazoo College is pretty Lisa Simpson-y at its heart, but we were the Hornets, so also Bumblebee Man.Torn!
