I'm not gonna lie, I enjoy a good Bernanke joke now and again. I sorta miss commuting, I don't get my alone time with Marketplace on NPR anymore.

I've listened to this about 70 times since yesterday afternoon. The hook alone is worth a million bucks (and a soul or five), but in classic Xenomania style they also threw in multiple breaks, an unexpected key change (WUT!), AND a proper ending (at a part in the chorus that goes "starting to fade...starting to fade..." lulz). I also love that they did a 60s nod right at the time everybody said "60s nods are dunzo".
The bassline and drums (not to mention the little guitar bits during the Kimba break) remind me a lot of St. Etienne's Good Humor album, curiously enough. I could talk about this all day. Maybe I will.
This has officially ruined last Friday AND today for me. Bleh. I need to break my habit of PDFing stuff in phpMyAdmin or I'm going to lose my mind.
