Message-ID: <14889-392E396B-6093@storefull-246.iap.bryant.webtv.net> Well, I just finished watching They on Conan, and I'd just like to really thank the person who posted about it being tonight (and then Sarah for confirming it.). Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. All I have to say is that the extended Boss Of Me kicks some major ass! They definetly haven't lost their knack for making a great song. I hope that this is the version they use of the Malcolm soundtrack (actually, I can see both being used. Short one as an opener, then the extended to close it off as the last track). The boys sounded great, and it was cool to see Mike Viola playin' with 'em. He was awesome.

Granted i loved seeing them live in Vegas but tonihgt they were so ON. I thought that they were totally into it, they looked kick ass in their suits and the full version of Boss of Me rocks my world. That was hilarious when Flans thought Conan was going to shake his hand. Worth staying up late for....since i taped i think ill watch it again. Your not the boss of me ......

I thought that they looked great. Even more so was the way they sounded. This was a great performance for them. And did anyone notice Linnell waving with both hands after Conan shook Flansy hand, right before it ended. It was only about half a second worth of Linnell waving, but it was kinda weird.

Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 10:38:31 -0400 (EDT) I watched Conan last Friday (or was it Thursday?) and they mentioned TMBG appearing on Thursday (or somebody did, my memory isn't so great except that I knew last week they'd be on Thursday night). Anyway, my memory faulted me again because I did not set the VCR to tape Conan while I was out last night. Let's hope Russ Josephson got this on tape and will release it as part of another new Video Collection 8-) -Matt > > On Saturday, July 15, 1939, GhostKrabb@webtv.net wrote: > >Well, I just finished watching They on Conan, and I'd just like to > >really thank the person who posted about it being tonight (and then > >Sarah for confirming it.). > > > > That post didn't come soon enough.

No, originally it was the 26th, but they rescheduled. There were several posts about it, but I don't remember whether they were here or on the alt.music.tmbg newsgroup. Too bad you missed it. If it's any consolation, when Linnell was on Conan a little while ago, I tried to record it and screwed up and ended up with three minutes of black screen and no sound. I guess it will be rebroadcast though, so perhaps you can catch it then. ------------------------------ Date: 26 May 2000 09:46:51 -0800 Message-ID: <-1252788086ggr@wlg.com> From: Bongo Subject: Re: TMBG: TMBG on Conan 2Nite.

There are also some where one John wrote the music and the other the lyrics, such as "Subliminal" and "Put Your Hand Inside The Puppet Head." On my list of TMBG songs at , I attempted to indicate who wrote each song, but there are gaps and mistakes, and I haven't updated it recently. -- Eat your broccoli, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/fablesto/ ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20000526172536.23652.qmail@hotmail.com> From: "Nathan Mulac DeHoff" Subject: Re: TMBG: Re: Who writes?

I figured as much that "Cowtown" was Linnell-penned (given the heavy clarinet usage), but I must adjust your factification - Flans doesn't fully sing "Cowtown." He sings the first chorus. Then Linnell sings a verse. Then both Johns sing the choruses from then on. There we have it. Spencer.
