MUSIC & VIDEOS: TMBG "Science Is Real"

Last year In NYC Nicole and I went to a They Might Be Giant's concert celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the album Flood. It was hard to believe that twenty years have already passed. While N and I are a bit nerdy, we really felt the crowd at that event was the nerdiest crowd we've ever been a part of.

To cater to alt-rock nerds and their children In true Nerd fashion TMBG JUST released a new album Science is Real. I've been watching all the videos (all below) and I'm positive the tracks will "make a little Birdhouse in Your Soul."
