It's tomorrow, btw.
The times on each person are the amount of time each is in the vid. Cool, huh? At least I'm getting older in a world with TMBG! And Keith! And my kitties!

Kerfuffle! (or is it Kerfluffle?)
Willy Nilly!
Higgledy Piggledy!
Chaos--to use an actual English word that I know for sure how to spell.
Whichever one you choose, that's about the only to describe things around here at the moment.
My employment has gone slightly off the rails, due to an unexpected cancellation of eight weeks worth of work, so I'm scrambling to fill the gaps.
I'm also hip-deep in a house project that I thought would take a weekend, however it seems determined to take the better part of a week.
In short, probably no blogging for most of the week.
We apologize for the interruption of service and hope to be back online towards the end week. If not, then it'll be next week, for sure.
In the meantime, you can put your hand inside the puppet head.
I always thought it wasn't fair that Linnell had to carry (and jump and dance with) his big ole accordion for most of the scenes in this video, but Flansburgh didn't have to hold his guitar.

Of Giants and Kids
When it comes to music, there are two kinds of people--those who get They Might Be Giants and those who don't. Me? I get them. More than that, I love them. I've been a fan for years. So has the little guy, it seems:
My newest all-time favorite TMBG songs is this one:
It's kind of funny how all of their songs have a way of turning into my all-time favorite TMBG song! I played that one for Keith, and he looked at me like I'd lost my mind. Maybe it isn't the best thing to show someone first thing on a Saturday morning?
One of the things I appreciate about the band is their versatility. Not everyone can make a kids album that not only doesn't drive adults screaming from the room, but also scores so well with the regular adult fan base that several of the songs become featured at many concerts? I've seen them perform this one a few times:
Isn't that catchy? I wanna go to West Xylophone for vacation!
Now, try to get this little ditty out of your head:
And, now that I've provided the soundtrack for your day, I'll take my leave.
