The number of times I’ve watched Yung Lean’s “STORM II” performance at the VMAs is getting embarrassing, but something about it just scratched my brain. I feel like award shows started to fall off a bit, but performances like these… I’m livinggg for them.

Anyway, moral of the story: live music remains undefeated. Luckily, you have plenty of chances to see some for free, starting with Thundercat. He’s bringing the Distracted AF Tour to Kings Theatre in October. Enter to win and experience musical greatness IRL.

WHENEVER

When Your Pet Needs to Borrow 10 Grand

Table legs get scratched. Shoes disappear under the couch. These are routine costs of pet ownership; a $10,000 surprise emergency surgery is not. Unfortunately, things DO happen, and you definitely want to be prepared. Pet insurance can help offset some of these costs with up to 90% reimbursement, with plans starting at $10/month. Find a plan before your pet finds a new way to bankrupt you.*

LOCALS ONLY

• My fellow froyo fanatics: Mythos is giving away 100 free frozen yogurts at each NYC location tomorrow. (I’ve had it and can confirm it’s DELISH.)

• ICYMI: we’ve got tickets up for grabs to see Jo Koy, the arena-filling comic known for turning family stories into painfully relatable material. Enter to win tickets to his Prudential Center show this May.*
