A humble Norweigan band that relies heavily on soothing acoustic and at times orchestral sounds to construct a beautiful art in every song inundated with tranquil yet sophisticated lyrics.
A: I bombed that final. I'm freaking out and ready to explode in frustration.
B: Chill out to some Kings of Convenience, then.

Get the Kings of Convenience mug.A popular themed amusement park located about 25 miles from downtown Cincinnati. It is known for its many roller coasters, the most famous being The Beast, still the world's longest wooden roller coaster. There is a large water park, Boomerang Bay, which is included with admission, and Nickelodeon Universe, one of the highest ranked kids areas in the industry.
Besides the Beast also has The Racer, a twin wooden coaster that is credited for sparking the "coaster renaissance" when it opened with the park in 1972. There is also Son of Beast, the world's tallest and fastest wooden coaster; from 2000 until 2006, it had a vertical loop, making it the only wood coaster to do so. There is also a large collection of steel coasters, including Vortex, Flight of Fear, and Firehawk.
From 1993 until 2006, the park was known as Paramount's Kings Island. PKI had many rides, attractions, and buildings named after Paramount and/or its better-known movies, such as TOP GUN, Days of Thunder, Face/Off, and The Italian Job. In 2006, the parent company of PKI sold it and four other Paramount Parks to "rival" amusement park chain Cedar Fair. In 2007, Cedar Fair began removing Paramount references from KI and other "former" Paramount parks, including changing the park's name to simply Kings Island.
When owned by Paramount, KI was known for installing family attractions and themed rides, but some of these attractions were notorious for theming that would fall apart. When compared to attractions at Cedar Fair, Six Flags, and especially Universal, Busch, and Disney parks, Paramount's additions were seen as lackluster. PKI was also notorious for lackluster food service, spotty cleanliness, and neutering/removing classic rides, and oddly enough, a de-emphasis on live entertainment due to budget cuts in the mid-2000s.
With Cedar Fair, Kings Island has re-emphasized cleaniness, live entertainment, and thrill rides. People also anticipate the addition of new restaurants in the future. While the 2007 season was not perfect, especially transition between ownership "regimes," expect a bright future for this midwestern family fun tradition.

Get the kings of leon mug.A very small uber religious town ( too small for a Walmart, but big enough for 2 McDonald's) where everyone knows everyone's very boring and uneventful business, but everyone is so bored that they have nothing better to do than gossip and back stab. The highlights are a coffee shop and several children's consignment stores. Everyone can't wait to get out of KM, but hardly anyone does.

Get the Kings Mountain, NC mug.Kings is home to the worlds largest collection of crackheads. Every girl looks like my toenail and all the teachers smell of my nans foot fungus. No coloured coats are allowed and if you wear them inside for more than 0.003 seconds a teacher will scream at you. The headteacher is a pedo that likes to look up skirts so don’t be surprised if he asks you to pull your skirt down. Most of the boys either have some form of autism or ADHD or are a wannabe roadman. The school chicken burgers have AIDS and the Radnor fizz will give you coronavirus. Avoid this place at all costs unless you want a couple STDs and to be pounded by your noncy food tech teacher
