Opportunity beckons

Check this ol' fly shit out.

.357 Lover is a Brooklyn-based band whose songs are inspired by the gradiosity of arena rock, the lure of time travel, the technicolor haze of childhood, Victorian steampunk science, the beauty of women and the lust for immortality.

You can enjoy their excellent debut album, Diorama of the Golden Lion, at this Youtube playlist

I'm looking forward to their sophomore effort, The Purchase of the North Pole, apparently centered around the Jules Verne novel of the same name.

Can any of you fellow Shirkers think of a worthy seemingly unattainable goal we could submit to this contest? In any event this is the type of music for charity I can get behind.

My current favorite line of theirs: "it's not cool to be a fool, stay in school, go to school, get a degree, break in the science lab and steal some glass"

And "Sweet Kentucky Girl" might be the best song I've ever heard.
