The B-52's, one of DJ Fundi's all-time favorite bands stretching way back to junior high days, have just released their first studio album in 16 years. Reveling in the good vibes, rampant silliness and heated dance floor grooves of "Funplex", their new record, we were inspired to share a great bootleg from the Live Archives -- the B-52's performing in Montego Bay, Jamaica, in 1982. This show really gets the juices pumpin' and we hope you enjoy it too.

The New York Times has a good story called "The Return of the Rock Lobsters" on the making of Funplex and the general B-52's mojo. You can read it here.
