Birdhouse In Your Soul

What's in a name?

Have you ever wondered where the name for this blog came from?
You have?
Get out from under that rock. Seriously.
Fine, I'll tell you a story.
When I was a wee lad of 14ish, I came across a They Might Be Giants album that I fell in love with. Every song provided me hours of entertainment. I think I wore that cassette out. However, a few years later I met Mr. Me and Dr. Worm, also big TMBG fans. They furthered my love for TMBG by letting me listen to songs I hadn't heard from them before. Oddly enough, their names are TMBG songs. Now, if you've been here since the beginning, you'll remember that this blog used to be called Pencil Shavings. Sadly, that name is overused, so a change had to come about. After little thought, I decided to join the wagon and use one of my favorite bands as influence for a new name. Thusly, The Birdhouse was born.
In conclusion, I'm going to include the vid to the song, which is my absolute favorite song by TMBG.

Enjoy.



And now you now. Porkchop Sandwiches.
