The library is just about the last place most people expect to be on a mid-summer night. And yet, in a city over run by cheesy clubs, crowded streets, and noisy, sweaty tourists, the hallowed stacks of the New York Public Library might just be the perfect escape – especially when said stacks act as the backdrop to one of the season's best events.

Here at "I of the Tiger" Fitness Reportage Inc., we don't know much about "politics" or "economics" or "stealthy plans to decimate the social safety net while funneling untold sums to the rich." But we do know about fitness fads, exercise trends, and workout crapola. So when we heard that hokey-doke dreamboat Paul Ryan, Washington DC's most famous adherent of the P90X workout, could be the next VP, we immediately knew that it was time to exploit this fact for profit.

Mungolian Jetset — producers Pål Nyhus (also known as DJ Strangefruit) and Knut Sævik — have always had, for better or worse, a reputation as the jokers of the small but talent-dense Norwegian house community — the weirdest, shaggiest members of a weird, shaggy scene. It's not an undeserved reputation. Their tracks are credited elaborately (to, for example, "Mungolian Jet Set's 16th Rebels Of Mung"), titles beset with parentheses ("Milano Model (A Thrilling Mungophony In Two Parts)"); their production is deep and maximalist and completely unafraid of goofing off. "Our sound is rooted in club culture," Nyhus says. "But more influences are being put into it. A dinosaur version of club culture. Like, real dinosaurs."

This "millennial" generation of youngsters these days—is there any respected institution which they cannot ruin merely by being themselves? It seems not.

Who would have thought that the real-life 50 Shades of Grey-style BDSM relationship between a 53-year-old Ivy-league graduate investment banker and his 27-year-old live-in slave would have ended in 40 text messages, a "knock-down, drag-out fight" and an arrest? And yet, the New York Post writes today, that's exactly what happened.

In Good Morning America appearance, Sylvester Stallone says son Sage's death has been "very, very tough."
