Rock ‘n’ roll will never die. Heavy metal fans should rock on.

The links were so uniformly bleak this week (appropriate for Independence Day, eh kids?) that I’m really pleased to be able to share the first video with you (via Michael Whiteacre); it’s of Dolly Parton performing three songs, the second of which is “Yakety Sax”. And that makes everything better. All the links above the first video are from Angela Keaton, the second video (a trailer for a new Lovecraft movie) is from Cthulhuchick, and the links between the videos are from Clarissa (“law”), Nun Ya (“epic”), Grace (“God”), Scott Greenfield (“rarest”), Radley Balko (“efficiency”), and Popehat (“Facebook”).
