But was is this unreleased song? I looked it up on CDNOW...they list all of the tracks but none of them are TMBG. (However, the tracks are long so each one probably has a variety of stuff within it.) I guess I'll buy it, although I'm a little hesitant. Apparently these are NPR recordings so this "new" song may have already been broadcast. Oh well...this won't be the first time I bought a double CD just for one TMBG tune. -B O N G O ------------------------------ Message-ID: <372ED235.5720188F@pacificnet.net> Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 03:55:51 -0700 From: Bongo Subject: TMBG: Re: A rare gem!

I confirmed something this morning with amazon.com that I wanted to share with all of you... This is the letter I wrote them yesterday: Subj: A question about one of your videos... Date: 5/3/99 6:50:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: MuseKJ To: info@amazon.com Dear amazon.com: I was wondering if a video you have, entitled "Direct From Brooklyn" is the music video compilation by the music group "They Might Be Giants"? It was supposed to have been released around April 27th, 1999. Your page for the "Direct From Brooklyn" video you are offering doesn't give me a description of the video, and doesn't mention They Might Be Giants, so I figured I'd better ask you before I tried to purchase it :-) Thanks much, Karen Petch MuseKJ@aol.com This was their reply: Subj: Your Amazon.com Inquiry Date: 5/3/99 8:48:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: info@amazon.com To: MuseKJ@aol.com Dear Karen, Thanks for sending your inquiry to Amazon.com. I tried to answer your question from the same video details page that you mentioned you visited on our website. Because, I could not find the answer to your question there, I did some further investigation. The video entitled "Direct From Brooklyn" (ASIN: 6305399034) is indeed a video by "They Might Be Giants." Unfortunately, I can't confirm whether or not the title is a video compilation. I hope this helps you with your purchase decision. Thank you for shopping with Amazon.com! Best regards, David Drobesh Amazon.com Earth's Biggest Selection http://www.amazon.com/ Now you and I all know that that video is indeed the video compilation, but let's give Mr. Drobesh a round of sound for being so helpful :-) Karen "My hyacinths are on fire!"

I know a lot of people have been looking for a recording of the Rochester show. I have a fairly decent recording of it (but with a small portion missing), which I will attempt to put up on my webpage in both .mp3 and .vqf formats (If I have the room, I'll do the whole show. If not, I'll only do the songs that came out the best). I'll let everyone know where to find it when it's done. But if anyone wants this on tape instead, LMK and aybe we can work out a trade. Oh, and about that show, I'm happy to say I met my first fellow listee there (Hey Amber!) :) Derek "What is everyone staring at?" ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
