The Bad Plus are so tremendously good, I love them man. This is probably my favorite off "These are the Vistas", but Flim, Heart of Glass, and ESPECIALLY Silence Is the Question is up there too
I don't know what to make of the take home message. I mean, it feels like Jacque gave up, but a competitor should be proud of her or his time regardless of goldmedalship. I'd like to hear more stories behind their other songs about olympians. In any case, thanks for the upload. It's amazing.
Revered as a “hero,” he strode the beaches content-a medal-adorned Olympian. When we rank and compare things as we do, it’s very easy to lose sight of what matters or of the fact that in this case he won. He may not have won gold or even silver. But bronze is a beautiful metal. Hell, there’s an entire age named for it and its life-changing properties for our species. He set foot in the arena (more than most of us can say), tested his medal in the crooked old world and walked out with a metal! The takeaway here for me is one of humility, gratitude, and contentment.

pretty cool , love the piece kind of a 'character' piece, and funny story at the beginning.
Man how can you listen to a tune as cool as this and be as stiff as this audiance is!!!
I heard this used on NPR as an outro, and used Shazam to identify it.
hey, this is awesome!

Strive for greatness. Desire the best of your abilities like olympians do, but if things happen in life be content with what you have and did

I think is a model of living a good life. He strove for greatness, then moved on when it was time and lived his life. Anyway, a very uplifting tune.
wheres the rest of the songs ? is it possible to find them ANYWHERE?? i tried :S
All of their albums are on iTunes
maybe they all are socially awkward penguins!
