'Destiny'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Or using them to smuggle drugs.
Speaking of TMBG, this is the winner of their fan video contest from this summer, which is awesomecakes. [link] The estimable John Hodgman was the judge and he made a fantastic choice. I love the song and the video is a pure delight.
So I've been kind of obsessing over Fool in the Rain for the last week or so. Yes, just the one song. I do that sometimes. But I keep thinking about something Kec said once a few years back about Don Was saying something about Dave Grohl being the only other human being besides Bonzo to have perfect time. And then I found this you tube video of his drum out takes for FitR: [link] (NSFW language right at the top)

Except for the Double Bass drums. (Which he used to line with tin foil, while other drummers were dampening them with pillows.)

Huh.
May we hear them, please?
I listened to a song by Skrillex.
So...that's dubstep, huh?
I will stick with Prodigy.
I have no idea what "dubstep" is, but I imagine it to be dubiously consenting Lord of the Dance.
ETA: Isn't Skrillex the evil thing in The dark Crystal?
I listened to a song by Skrillex.
Is it that "Call 911 now" song?
I will stick with Prodigy.
Fogey. Be sure to lay in ample quantities of the uniform - driving hat, shorts pulled up to your chest, white socks up to your knees and brown sandals. Then practise driving 5 under the speed limit in the overtaking lane with the headlights on in broad daylight. Psychosomatic addict insane indeed.

It was "Scary Monsters and Drink Some Sprite" or whatever.
I will stick with Prodigy.
Fogey.
Hey! They are totally still around!
