My only problem with this Feb Club is that it is making me slightly distracte-bunny from all the nifty new things to look at. There are worse fates, though!

For today - What's a favorite song or piece of music that you discovered in the past year? (Link if possible).

All right, new music question of the day: something that works well with the Agricultural Revolution and the first domestication of animals (with some discussion of Siberian foxes.)
