24) "The Mid-Morning Recording"                  The Simpsons-'Songs In the Key of Springfield'
Yesterday, I saw "The Simpsons Movie" along with a lot of other happy people. I would say that I quite liked it, and it was really nice to see Matt having a lot of fun with his first TV baby in the cinema format. It was almost surreal to witness it, to be honest. "Holy crap...there is a Simpsons movie?...and I lived to see it...and it's STILL on TV....weird!!!" After the viewing, I was conversing with someone and they told me that "The Simpsons" was the only show in their household they could NOT watch. I was baffled by this to a certain extent. I wouldn't like the idea of living my adult years without this animation juggernaut making me truly laugh out loud. The characters are engraved into my mind, and boy do they make me smile. They are certainly legendary cartoon characters and they have stood the test of time. It was great to see a well executed storyline, good writing, and damn fine 2D/3D animation in the first long form outing. The movie has some good music bits as well, but not too much. I was happy with the sublime use of music, unlike most animated movies that seem to live by them. So, in honor of "The Simpsons" movie seeing its release yesterday, we play this, the second Simpsons album; a wonderful musical album from a TV series that knew exactly when to put in a funny but worthwhile tune. This happens to be our first comedy Mid-Morning Recording as well.
