If I remember correctly, I remember some people put the primary in a dark closet or cover with a blanket is this really needed? What do you guys do?

My primary is a food grade white 6.5 gallon pale ale bucket.

Recipes 

Keep it dark. Out of direct sunlight and/or florescent light for sure. If you're using carboys, cover them with a dropcloth or something, even in ambient light.

We have a table in a room that gets little use. I throw a tablecloth over it and slide my carboys and fermenters under it.
The table & tablecloth will contain any blown lids or krausen volcanos.

thats actually a really good idea, my fermenter is currently wrapped up in a blanket, this is my first brew so i didnt know about the no sunlight, so mine was in a corner of the room before but i dont think i skunked it.

If I had SWMBO sew tinfoil into the inside of an old t-shirt, I would get some degree of both light and temperature control... right?

I took the boxes that my carboy and better bottles came in, cut the flaps off then cut a square hole big enough to fit the airlock in the bottom of the box. I'll flip it upside down and toss it over the fermentor. The basement I ferment in I'd already very dark and we don't go down there to often, seems to work pretty well for me.

With a bucket you should be fine. Just keep your temps inline.
