I study nuclear science, I love my classes. I've got a crazy general who wears dark glasses. Things are going great, and they're only getting better...

Not many people know that Timbuk3 had a song called "All I Want for Christmas"
(to be fair, not many people know they had any songs aside from "The Future's So Bright")
But, my favorite Timbuk3 Christmas song is "Standard White Jesus"

Timbuk3 doesn't get the love they deserve. A two person band that is just stellar. Quirky and clever songs that are incredibly written.

#QuickSidenote Timbuk 3 appeared in the 1988 film D.O.A., starring Dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan. The film was shot in Austin and the surrounding areas, so using a local, hip MTV ‘alt’ act as a club band was a natural bit of casting. #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly When the personal relationship ends in 1995, Timbuk 3 ends with it... Barbara stays in Austin, raises their son, and builds a solo & producer life there; Pat eventually relocates & keeps writing, playing, & curating projects like Steel Bridge Songfest. #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly It is worth knowing that in 1991, they added drummer Wally Ingram & bassist Courtney Audain… Timbuk 3 was now a full four-piece group. You can hear the shift… the songs get more muscular and rhythm-heavy. #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

#QuickSidenote Austin turns out to be the launchpad... Barbara hustles an invite to MTV’s IRS Cutting Edge taping in town; that slot leads to a party in L.A., where IRS boss Miles Copeland offers them a deal. Their debut, Greetings from Timbuk3, is recorded in LA… #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

#QuickSidenote After years grinding it out in Madison, Pat & Barbara hit a wall with Wisconsin winters… In the mid-’80s, they moved from Madison to Austin, TX… warmer weather, & a strong scene with good clubs. #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Timbuk 3 were Pat MacDonald & Barbara Kooyman, a Sconnie couple who met on the folk circuit, settled in Madison, & built a scrappy lil’ duo around guitar, harmonica, drum-machine boom box & some very political lyrics. #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

#OneHitHistory The week ending November 22, 1986, Madison, WI’s Timbuk 3 earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their darkly satirical ‘feel-good’ graduation anthem “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #40. (9 weeks/peaked at #19) #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

Photo of my wife and I from ... 1993?
Photo of my wife and I from ci 1993 turned into a cartoon
Photo of my wife and I ci 1993 turned into a Pixar style cartoon.
So, this photo of my wife and I was taken in ... 1993? ... or so. It was water damaged. I had #Sora repair it, and she did a terrific job.
Now, I've turned it over to #ChatGPT, who turned it into a pair of cartoon.
As #Timbuk3 said, "The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades."

#Interestingly The folk-punk duo from Madison, WI, moved to Austin, TX, plugged in a drum machine… and let the irony drip like sweat off Cold War brows. “The Future’s So Bright..." was bouncy, catchy, nuclear dread wrapped in a hook. You heard sunshine. Pat meant fallout. #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly They were Timbuk 3… The (then) husband/wife duo of Pat MacDonald & Barbara Kooyman weren’t trying to create a graduation anthem. It was a warning, but America decided it was a feel-good tune and called it a day. #Timbuk3 #OneHitWondered

They say that a monkey
In the right frame of mind
Given enough paper
And given enough time
Is bound to type Shakespeare
Eventually
