Hard to believe that its been 16 years since the last B-52s studio album, but here we are and yes it has been. Well, Fred, Kate and Cindy have announced that the B-52s will be releasing a new album called Funplex in February 2008. I can imagine the Athens band could make a nostalgic comeback yet again… or they could just release yet another unnecessary reunion album.

On that note, I'll post my alltime favorite B-52s song, "Private Idaho," sort of live on TV!
