Run out right now...

and consume these entertainment products:

Music: Fountains of Wayne, Welcome Interstate Managers By now you've certainly heard "Stacy's Mom," or at least heard about the video. But stick around for the album, chock full of funny, beautiful power-pop. Particular standouts: "Valley Winter Song," "All Kinds of Time," "Little Red Light."

Film: American Splendor

I know the hot movie is currently Lost in Translation, but hey, I haven't seen it myself. So go see this before it disappears.

Print: The National Lampoon Yearbook Parody

Never mind Animal House, this was NatLamp's finest hour, and I honestly think this is one of the greatest comic achievments of the past century. Back in print in a "39-year class reunion" edition, it's still a gem. Even the new "class letter" opening the reprint is good stuff, and delivered a sucker-punch tailor-made for yours truly near the end.
