There is more than a foot of snow on the ground in Bloomington. When there is that much snow afoot and underfoot one must make proverbial lemonade out of lemons (or in this case, suggestive snowmen out of snow). We here at In The Fridge Records are strong believers in both lemonade and suggestive snow men, so you could say that snow days are sort of our finest hour. In the past we have done such amazing things as scale entire mountains and eat eighteen waffles in one sitting.
Today was no different. You see, while traipsing through the frozen tundra that is our neighborhood we discovered this long lost Elegant Bachelors recording of a classic pop song. We were quite delighted, not only because this song has the ability to warm even the most snow embattled heart, but also because finding it was a nice change of pace from what we normally find which tends to be animal feces.
So, from our snow piles to yours, we offer you this musical gift, a snow day surprise if you will- stay warm, stay safe, and most of all stay out of the way of snowplows.
SNOW DAY SURPRISE!!!
