rock and roll

We love dumb memes as much as the "smart" ones, and can't get enough music memes. So you can imagine our delight when we discovered that Foo Fighters are the unlikely stars of the latest stupidly funny meme trend. This format celebrates the Dave Grohl-helmed band's valiant efforts at defeating the dangerous threat of "Foo". The absurd hilarity of the joke really jives with us, and we hope you enjoy it too. 

'90s alt rockers Rage Against The Machine just announced their European tour, and the London Review Bookshop was extremely surprised to find that the band was slated to play their modest store on August 14th. While some business might simply inform the tour managers of the error, this particular bookstore decided to roll with the hilarity on Twitter. And we're extremely glad they did. The whole debacle turned into a delightful thread filled with book puns, Rage Against the Machine references, and some serious impressive wit on the part of whomever runs the account. We've included the highlights in this gallery, but you can see more of the bookish antics right here on the thread. 

And for you English Rage fans that are worried about going to a show at a prim and proper book shop, fear not: the correct venue is Review Bookshop in Peckham.  Which we hope has planned for the rockers' set. 

It's been a while since there was a really good hashtag game, but this one will appeal to both lovers of music AND wordplay. Come up with your own dull-ified band name if you dare!
