Taking sides: Who’s king of the beach?

Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us. Time to hit the beach! Or, if four-dollar-a-gallon-gas is preventing you from driving out to Ocean City... time to go see a band with the word “beach” in their name!

Brooklyn guitar-strummers Beach Fossils are performing at the Kennedy Center Millenium Stage on Saturday night, which reminded us of two things: 1. The beach-themed band name meme is not going away. And 2. We still really like a lot of these groups, anyway.
