Busy as a bee

I'm busy as a bee but enjoying it : )

- "Be a bee", Air. Along with "Sing sang sung" & "Eat my beat", my fav track from their last release "Love 2".
- "Bees", Animal Collective
- "Outro with bees", Neko Case
- "Killer bees", The Stills
- "Muzzle of bees", Wilco

Album:
- "Bee thousand", Guided by voices

Bands:
- The Hives: very 2002, to me. Hit "Hate to say I told you so". Swedish (Scandinavians are soOo attractive, amirite?). Black & white suits, etc.
- The Bees: their "Chicken payback" is quite fun to dance around & be silly to. Apart from that, as far as I remember, I've just heard their cover of "A minha meninha" by Os Mutantes.

As a kid I was rly afraid of them, hornets, wasps, yellowjackets, etc. @ school the kids told urban legends (I hope that's what they were!) of killer bees the size of golf balls. Swarms of these well, killing ppl. I have a kindergarten memory of sitting on a see-saw where there was a bee. But I don't know if it happened to me or someone else. Also being @ a swimming pool & this barefoot lady stepping on a bee. The death of Thomas J (Macauly Culkin) in "My girl" after stepping on a hive & consequently being attacked by the swarm that lived within (he was allergic to bees)...left me DEEPLY DISTURBED. I remember this too, but only the name & a piece of the theme song.



So yeah, not a huge fan of bees. BUT, BUT, BUT...I love honey.
