On the September 30th show, I featured bands that love the Kingdom Animalia so much that they decided to make animals their namesake. We heard from the likes of Deerhunter, Grizzly Bear, Cat Stevens, Fruit Bats, Cat Power, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Bonobo, Deerhoof, The Mountain Goats, and The Toadies. Some of you may be thinking... hmmm... I wonder why that list is so disproportionately Class Mammalia! Well, so did I. Perhaps in future shows I will do a catalog search to come up with some bands whose names reflect Class Insecta or Aves... or maybe Subphylum Chelicerata? You can be assured that I will be doing more shows in which I focus on the music because I had a blast playing these tunes. Hope you enjoy them!
As for the news, we learned that:
- Monarch butterflies rely on a chronometer in their antennae for navigation
- Spiritual women have more sex
- Teenage students work to reduce the effects of tinnitus, a ringing sensation in the ears
UPDATE: The following week, I did another animal bands show because I had so much fun with this one. Click here for the October 7th podcast.
