Madness!

Yes, Madness.  Sorry, not the band.  I'm not starting down a ska track... you all know how that goes.  one starts in, then you get a few weeks with ska-themed music.  Yeah.  I'll wait a bit.

However, madness comes in all forms.  Right now, for me, it's work.  Work and my daughter.  And sorority girls trying to kill me for driving on Sunday mornings. And the news. And my phone.  And my mom.  Dogs and cats, living together... mass hysteria.

Actually, I just want to play this song.  Madness, by Muse.  Quite a few people think that Muse has sold out, or lost themselves.  While this song, and the new album ("The 2nd Law") doesn't have the same panache as the older stuff, this tune is still quite badass.  Turn up the song once you hit the bridge, and feel your head nod.  Your speedometer race past ninety.  Your smile grow wider.  Your cares melt away...



...until it slows back down for the last 4 bars.  Then you are back in the world.  They're coming to get you.
