I wonder what it's like to be the session musicians charged with recording "Do the Urkel Dance".

It's the end of the school year crunch, which is why I haven't posted recently.  What could be more  soothing in a time like this than David Attenborough style nature videos?

Animals are weird.  To round this post out, I've uploaded the totally excellent Talking Heads album Fear of Music.  It contains the song  Animals, which is why I decided to put it here, but I've been meaning to put up some Talking Heads for a while, because they are awesome.  I love how Talking Heads songs are really about what their title is, they don't fuck around.  Fear of Music is one of the three Talking  Heads  albums produced  by Brian Eno, and  supposedly he acted almost as another member of the group.  He and David Byrne became BFFs and started doing everything together and even dressing alike, which alarmed the other members of the band, which is one of the reasons why they formed Tom Tom Club, whose song Genius of Love was eventually sampled almost in it's entirety by Mariah Carey.  This is all vital information if you want to function in todays fast paced society.  Every song on this album is really really good, it's one of those albums that you really ought to listen to all the way through.

And here it is.
