All the way from Norway... not really.

FOR BETTER OR FOR NORSE: No, they're not expats from Norway. Rather Ex Norwegian is a local indie rock band that boasts a playlist of some darn catchy tunes. Tunes that make you want to get up and dance, but in a cool, aloof hipster way. The Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale puts this one on, which also means free admission to the museum. 5-8 P.M.

BEACH, PLEASE: The Wolfsonian continues its beach blanket film series with "Clambake," which was shot in Miami and stars Elvis - young, skinny Elvis, of course. Not that anyone ever has clambakes in Miami. It's more of a Northeastern thing, no? Nevertheless, this is a chance to remember a time when women wore more than dental floss and a fake tan to the beach. Modesty is so retro. 7 P.M.

POUR AND PLAY: You were never good at guessing the song on "Name That Tune." Probably because you're younger than most of the songs played on that show. But Name that Grape - there's a game you could really get into. Tonight at Canyon Ranch, blind taste six organic and biodynamic wines - whoever gets the most right wins a free bottle with dinner at CR's restaurant. 6 P.M.
