While you were all out on that peyote trip in the Arizona desert, here's what you missed:

1. You have bad taste in music. Let this man show you the way. He's putting up a Hoobastank clip tomorrow, but c'mon… can anyone really hate on a song like "The Reason"? It's a magical anthem of love and redemption, people. Turn that 'stank up -- and pass us some Maroon 5 while you're at it.

2. Fresno's Favorite Fundamentalist, Mayor Bubba, is willing to bet that most gay people don't want to get married. We, however, are willing to bet that most gay people don't want to watch utterly craptacular movies like "The Legend of Jake Kincaid." (via Fresno Famous)

3. Republican Pearl Jam fans, you face a real dilemma: Suck it up and go see what will be some amazing concerts with Death Cab for Cutie, or stew in your own bitterness that the only good GOP concerts this fall will be a Toby Keith-Pat Boone double bill … if you're even that lucky. Thankfully, Will Ferrell has reprised his role as George Dubya, so maybe he can tell you what to do.

4. Take a tour of the NY subway lines that time forgot. (Satan's Laundromat)

5. This is old… the merch guy was talking about this legal feud when we went to see Dios and Beulah (R.I.P.) at the Bowery Ballroom a couple months back. Now it's settled: Dios has been forced to change its name to Dios Malos after a cease-and-desist order was issued by Ronnie James Dio. A Rainbow in the Dark, indeed. (Stereogum)

**Editor's note regarding Monday's post: Apparently we're the only people who spent our childhood watching "The Great Space Coaster." (Or maybe we're the only ones who will admit it… Gary G-Nu, anyone? Geeez.) Thankfully, our brand new Fresyes correspondent, Raisinette, has dug up the lyrics to that show's classic tune, "Yellow-Orange Day" -- which is now the new summer anthem for New York terror alerts. Feel free to hum this little ditty while watching heavily armed cops flag down cargo vans outside the Citicorp building:

Today is a yellow-orange day.
Everything is looking up.
I think I'll take my yellow-orange crayon.
And draw a yellow-orange buttercup.
Today has a yellow-orange feel.
Everything is beaming bright.
I think I'll fold some yellow-orange paper.
And send a yellow-orange plane in flight.
So many ways to express my emotions.
To say this is a yellow-orange day.
I could write a yellow-orange poem.
Dance a yellow-orange dance.
Bake a yellow-orange cake.
Play with yellow-orange clay.
Today there's a yellow-orange sun.
Everything is all aglow.
I think I'll share my yellow-orange feeling.
With everybody everywhere I go.
And I been feeling in a yellow-orange way.
All day long. Today is a yellow-orange day.
And yellow-orange is the color of my song.
