Nah, I think the Johns have a sort of friendship that isn't even humanly concievable. I always sense an inordinate amount of respect for the other from either one. I think they know that the other is always going to be the only one who fully understands what they want to do, and I think just like the T-shirt says, they'll be together as TMBG until they're extremely old. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

I love Flans as a performer, and he seems like a really nice guy to boot.

He does it because he has to. I'm sure (okay...I'm not sure, but I have no reason to doubt) Linnell is having a lot of fun with his life. There have been times when I've seen him grimacing during "Birdhouse" and I've just wanted to shake him and say "Nobody's forcing you to do this!!!! You're a rich man! Do whatever the hell you want; your fans will love it either way!" But he probably has more respect for his fans than we realize, otherwise he might have given up the rock-star lifestyle years ago and gotten a job playing out-of-print polka records on WFMU. >In short, I like their dynamic.

Their dynamic is part of what makes them so cool -- remember, I wasn't criticizing anything about Flans other than his lyrics (which I never said were bad, just inferior -- sometimes). "Hot Cha" is totally underrated, though. Does he have sole credit on that? > >Can you blame me? > >No, I suppose I can't, but that doesn't really say anything about >Flansburgh's songwriting ability, and isn't that what you were criticizing >in the first place? Well, I was kinda making a joke there...although the date and I were, to be honest, not overwhelmingly impressed by the Puff. Just my opinion, mind you. I had a better time seeing Linnell perform stuff from State Songs at the Bowery last year, but I also went to that show knowing I was in for something I wouldn't get to see again for a long time (uh, Linnell looking happy). >I don't know if the Johns stiffed us (well, the people who went to the >concert, which doesn't include me, so "us" isn't exactly appropriate, but >oh >well); I'm guessing that the Dial-A-Song show was an idea that They were >throwing around but decided against, and emusic reported it as fact.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the show nevertheless. I had read about the Dial-a-Song show in a number of different places; I just never found out that they had nixed the idea. Ah well. >People complain that TMBG is seen by too many non-fans as a novelty band, >and then they complain when songs are LOSING their novelty. Can't you make >up your mind? Methinks you're comparing two different sets of people here. And by novelty, I meant "newness" or "instantaneous joy received from hearing something cute that isn't yet played out."

I mean, rich compared to guys in rock bands who *don't* write songs for hit TV shows. Why is it bad to have money? I'm not equating "rich" with "bad." I'm happy two guys as intelligent and cool as Flans and Linnell are getting a piece of the pie. I find it very subversive that rock geniuses like TMBG, Danny Elfman, Mothersbaugh/Casale, et al, are taking over the mainstream world. :) >I mean we know they aren't driving around in limos BUT I think it's >safe to say that afford their own cars and aren't eating pork and beans >every night. Yeah. I was actually surprised to hear Linnell say recently that he was riding the subway. But I guess I shouldn't be...all New Yorkers ride on that big steamy thing at some point, even stockbrokers with a shucksload more money than Linnell. --Jody _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Hey, you got me all wrong, i wasnt trying to be snide or anything..im just
incredibly jealous that some people (ie new yorkers) have so many options to
see the boys that they can actually walk out without felling like they are
missing a huge opportunity.  
If you think that the band is sub par, so be it..im a huge Elvis Costello fan
and Ive often trashed stuff he has done, so I understand..im just expressing
a dissenting opinion.
As for good looking dates at shows..always go with the date over the
band...the band will stop after 2 hours, the date will hopefully go on and on
and on...

I remember after a show in Atlanta a few years back, Flans was standing

around after the show saying, only half-jokingly, "Buy our t-shirts, help
us get home."  If they are comfortable now, it's only because they've
pushed so hard and had some good luck with successful projects (emusic,
MitM) this past year.  In fact, I recall an interview from last year where
Linnell said it was a relief to have those projects and not to have to tour
as much, because all the traveling is so grueling.   They are far from
being able to sit back and take it easy.
