I still can't believe Tom Lehrer is really gone. His music has always been a part of my life. I think I talked about this but when I was 7 I was really into the periodic table of elements for some reason. Three songs in particular helped me memorize all the elements as a kid: Meet The Elements by They Might Be Giants (this was how i was introduced to them), ASAPScience's Periodic Table song, and of course, The Elements by Tom Lehrer. I've heard this song among others over the years, but I didn't know his name until late last year.
I'm glad I got to know the guy who was influential on both me and some of my other biggest influences before his passing though. 97 years is one hell of a life.
Song of the Day: My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words
I slept on this song so hard for like three years it's one of the best from the album.
