The last few episodes were a little disappointing in that they haven't been using any TMBG classics. (Remember the day of hearing "Pencil Rain" and TMHFO?) Its been almost all instrumental pieces lately and half of them I can't even be sure they were done by TMBG. How much of the music do they really do? For example, did the write the muzak that plays in the grocery store where the mom works? Anyway, there was a cool piece of music that appeared in the last episode that aired. (It was the episode where the mom looses her job and family becomes "poor".) It was a diner table scene and Malcolm was complaining about eating macaroni and rice. During that scene, there's a horn playing that has a lot of echo on it. You only hear it for about five seconds. Is that piece of music on a website anywhere? -B O N G O ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 11:42:22 -0500 From: "Jose" Message-ID: <8c2kft$7f3$1@ussenterprise.ufp.org> Organization: They Might Be Giants, Unofficially http://www.tmbg.org Subject: Re: TMBG: One More Robot Parade I've got Robot Parade at 1:22 playtime and Wake Up Call at 1:11 playtime.

Subject: Re: TMBG: One More Robot Parade That seems like that would be it, because I did the same thing. To dl the full song, you have to click where it says the price is free, at the far right of the page. If you click the little red thing under mp3 you just get the sample. And now that I've heard the full version of Robot Parade, I like it even better. -- K.C. Kless "...I am a snake head eating the head on the opposite side..."

They were pretty disdainful of the band (I forget their exact comments, but they were something like, "They have a newsgroup?? ::chuckle::), and they were pretty amused that one of TMBG's reps had recently called them to find out when the appearance would be aired. Bottom line is they ain't gonna show it :( Kay ------------------------------ Date: 31 Mar 2000 14:18:30 -0800 Message-ID: <-1257610188ggr@wlg.com> From: Bongo Subject: Re: TMBG: Space Ghost?
