They Might Be Giants - Tubthumping

Not only does it make complete sense that TMBG perform this song for AV Club’s Undercover, not only is it awesome to see TMBG pile in as many people as possible to sing with them (and awesome/funny to see Dan Telfer rock out in the background), but I guarantee this will make you happy.

you know what this is awesome

I just love these guys.

How does a bicycle work? Turns out, not exactly how we’d thought … Many of us can repeat the conventional grade-school wisdom that the gyroscopic effect is the magical stabilizer of the spinning bike wheel—but scientists are finding that the physics of biking are much more complex than this, reports Science News.

Draw a circle around the one God loves the most.

When I was in 2nd grade at St Margaret Mary School I overheard two teachers in the hallway talking about one of the naughtier kids in the school and one of them said, “That’s what happens when you’re not baptized.” Even in 2nd grade I thought that was pretty messed up.

 Attic Club Collection

 After seeing the movie Midnight in Paris I was wondering what the Roaring 20s were like in our neck of the woods.  I ran across these photos of the Attic Club, one of our small archival collections.

The Attic Club was formed by 13 artists and met in the top floor of the Times Building at 114 4^th Street South. The club held exhibitions and social parties including costume balls and plays.

I love knowing that this sort of stuff was going on in the 20s and is still going on today in the Twin Cities. If someone had thought of the idea for FEAST a hundred years ago, would it still be happening now? I imagine if you looked closely enough at one of these photos, you might see Andy Sturdevant somewhere in the background. Same as it ever was.

Someone has got some explaining to do.

When I moved into my present apartment in Northeast Minneapolis, I thought I had moved somewhere real urban and tight, you know? Some place I could show my friends and not have to hide. Or like throw a dirty cover over the syrup stains on my couch.
