Last week's Google Play deal; $.99 instead of free, still a good deal. I guess Google finally figured out how to stop amazon from copying their sales; make it free!
I didn't get past the first paragraph of the Humpback Whale article posted by GP yesterday; I will later, but the first paragraph:
The largest single pressing of any album of recorded music was not made by Michael Jackson or Mariah Carey, but by an animal the size of a city bus. Ten million copies of Songs of the Humpback Whale were inserted into the January 1979 issue of National Geographic, distributed around the world in 25 languages. The humpbacks cries are credited with inspiring the global movement of conservation measures to protect whales. But what is often overlooked is the true musicality of the sounds. The shrill wails, deep growls, rhythmic scratches, and spectral moans combine into repeating patterns so structured that they fit any conventional definition of music.
Stopped me. How did I not know of this NatGeo flexi-disc!?
@Craig, I'm pretty sure that the reason those guys look upset is that they were denied boarding on the Doofytrain. @amc2 - thanks in return for that link - I didn't think to go searching for that.

Of course it's online
So I'm listening to this and shopping for a hard copy on ebay.
Another example of why I love this place and it's weird tangents.
