Introducing to you today a new band that just might be iconic/ironic/erotic enough to sweep the world off its feet…
Background info: They are from Finland. They are heavy metal band. They are specifically a heavy metal band for children. And they only appear in public as dinosaurs.
Watch out GaGa… Their name is HEVISAURUS.
This in all honesty seems easily marketable in the 2010’s.
The Museum is proud to feature these lyrics from popular rising Postal Service rip-off band Owl City as a way to illustrate irony, express remorse, and convey what culture sees as “lyrically smart/inspiring enough 2 make cool Flickr graphics from”.
P.S. Their album is still Number 1 on the iTunes chart after being released six months ago.
WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM
Artifacts of Modernity is a internet based "museum" specializing in the preservation of contemporary artifacts deemed worthy of entrance into Western Civilization’s ever evolving canon.
One part virtual time capsule, one part white walls echoing with the sweet siren song of irony, Artifacts of Modernity is the first museum of its kind. Entrance is free, permanent exhibits down the hall and to the right, bathrooms on your left.
Enjoy.

We work hard to bring you an entirely free Museum (or as an innate fee in your internet bill, if you want to think about it like that), but we can't keep it up without money to pay for this URL every year and to buy ourselves lunch while on the job. So please, donate.
This is a Tumblr, so "follow" us if you would. And scroll down for a complete list of many other fine social networking sites by which we whore ourselves.
Yes, you! No longer feel like a mere puppet in the postmodern-post-Irony-ridden culture of today. Contribute your thoughts and findings of modern culture to Art of Mod!
Simply go to ArtifactsofModernity.com /CONTRIBUTE to share.
