An Ode to the Human Body

Bodies are kind of awesome if you think about it. Not just in the without-them-you'd-be-incorporeal way, either, but also in ways significantly more badass. Like, you can lose 2/3 of your liver and a) survive, and b) it'll grow back. When you get a cold, the swollen throat, snot, fever and phlegm are all products YOUR OWN BODY has made in order to combat the virus. The average adult small intestine is 20 feet long.

While you're picturing snot and your liver and intestines, here's the playlist from this week:

  1. Adele - Cold Shoulder
  2. Florence + the Machine - Kiss With a Fist
  3. Passion Pit - Eyes as Candles
  4. Alice Russell - Fly in the Hand
  5. Regina Spektor - Blue Lips
  6. Tegan and Sara - Back in Your Head
  7. Noah and the Whale - Shape of My Heart
  8. Ray Lamontagne - Hold You in My Arms
  9. Cary Brothers - Blue Eyes
  10. The Avett Brothers - Kick Drum Heart
  11. Amy Millan - Blue in Yr Eye
  12. Laura Gibson - Hands in Pockets
  13. Hugh Grant - Pop Goes my Heart
  14. Jon Foreman - Behind Your Eyes
  15. Johnny Flynn - Tickle Me Pink
  16. Paul's Grandfather - Bones
  17. Margot and the Nuclear So and So's - Skeleton Key
  18. Kate Nash - Skeleton Song
  19. Muse - Map of Your Head
  20. Bowerbirds - Human Hands
  21. Ra Ra Riot - Run my Mouth
  22. Los Campesinos - You'll Need Those Fingers for Crossing
  23. The Matches - Salty Eyes
  24. Wonderful Spells - Bacon Bones

  26. The Pixies - Crackity Jones
  27. The Ukranians - Batyar (Bigmouth Strikes Again)
  28. Islands - the Arm
  29. Carpark North - Human

Next week is spring break, but you can betcha bottom dollar that we'll be posting extraneous nubbins over the break.


Until then, marvel at the fact that the human femur is pound for pound stronger than concrete.

Whoa, dude.
