It's Honeydogs Day!

Posted at 3:00 PM on November 15, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis

Because your brain is so healthy and... well, big, you know that your "amygdala" is a small lobe in the brain that is responsible for memories of fear and pleasure. This is also colloquially referred to as "the reptilian brain," most memorably celebrated in rock 'n' roll by the Strokes in their song "Reptilia."

It also happens to be the name of the fabulous new Honeydogs album. Which reminds us: We need to take a moment here to communicate a number of valuable data points to be entered into your brain's pleasure center:

First, the Honeydogs will be hosting a CD release party this Friday at First Avenue. Second, you can hear them speaking to Kerri Miller on MPR's midmorning here. Third, you can download a new Honeydogs tune here. (The Current's download of the week!)

And finally, if you didn't happen to be listening to 89.3 this afternoon, you missed Steve Seel's highly instructional interview and in-studio with the band, where we learned, among other things, what singer songwriter Adam Levy's biggest fear was as a child:

"I had a pathological fear of toilets overflowing."

Of all the crazy, demented, unexplainable phobias, we think that's a pretty normal one. Then again, what do we know? We're afraid of cooked pineapple, junebugs, and violin jazz.
