These are our favorite Kids in the Hall sketches of all-time and it’s not debatable.

Last and least, meet Mini Meltdowns, a scrappy new Nashville-based band that should be blipping your radar. The band’s members also play with such rippers as Dashboard Confessional, Sherbert, the Promise Ring, and Limbeck, but Mini Meltdowns is more fun than all those bands combined. The power trio release a 7-inch on 4/20 that’s so sweet and colorful, it’s like a sweet batch of confetti cake (coated in icing made with the artwork of the Anniversary’s Josh Berwanger). If that gives you the munchies, then enjoy your free preview below, and party hard.
