This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

En route to London for Cameron Winter in the Roundhouse. The extreme excitement from the eldest youngling is contagious. Feels like a pretty incredible time to see him.
