Why don't people talk about this song more? It's not as good as "The Ode To Artificial Food Colouring." That's my favourite _John Henry_ track. "Hitting Myself With A Hammer" on _Apollo 18_ is pretty good, too. The best hidden track is on _Flood_, though.

(sort of) Wow, that was a pretty detailed account of the concert! What'd you do, take notes? :-) Well, anyway, I was at the concert at Westerville and I thought it was pretty awesome. Definitely one of the best I've heard at a large, echoey venue like a gym. I was the one standing next to that dude that passed out in the front row. What I really liked was that the Johns did was a "fast forward" Shoehorn with Teeth. I've never seen them do this before. They played Shoehorn with Teeth normally, then decided to do this version. They just sang really fast, and sort of mumbled it and Dan still played the glockenspeil in the right places (I have no idea how to spell that). I thought it sounded really neat. I also thought it was really cool that before the concert while we were waiting outside to get in, this group of people started singing TMBG songs. We joined in with them, and it was really fun. I can't imagine any other group's concert I've been to where people would start doing that, so I just want to say that you guys are really great fans! :-) Diana ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 15:49:48 -0600 From: Bob Scott Message-ID: <36B6217B.6CA375E@tmbg.org> Organization: They Might Be Giants, Unofficially http://www.tmbg.org Subject: TMBG: Re: Spitting Contest Spencer Owen wrote: > Also, this "Spitting Contest" on John Henry thing is pissing me off.

I just got Song Stories recently, but hadn't gotten a chance to read it yet. Speaking of XTC and TMBG, everyone should check out 'A Testimonial Dinner', which is a bunch of bands' tribute to XTC. TMBG does a great cover of '25 o'clock'. They wanted to do 'This Is Pop', but it was just too hard. It's wonderful to hear TMBG's clever interpretation of a great song. There's some other good tracks on there, one of my favorites is Joe Jackson's 'Statue of Liberty'. Sarah MacLachlan does a cover of 'Dear God' which cracks me up. Spacehog's 'Senses Working Overtime' is pretty darn funny as well. ~Amanda ------------------------------ Message-Id: <01FEB99.21537651.0364.MUSIC@MARISTB.MARIST.EDU> Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 19:56:32 EST From: Misty Subject: Re: TMBG: triangle man LOSES!
