Of all the songs they chose to play, I was so happy they played the string of songs from Apollo 18.

I want to ask why they would do it, but at the same time, I love this recording of those songs too much to question.

Where do they record these? I live in Lawrence Ks, and that sign right behind them that says Love Garden and has a squid on it is an ad for our local record store... It's freaking me out. Also TMBG rocks.

Their music delights me, their appearance frightens me, and why either of these things are so, i do not know. ...... jk, love finding something new.
