Date: Wed, 8 May 2002 10:10:22 -0400 Message-ID: From: "Karin Highfield" Yeah, seriously people... If we (& TMBG) can't hold our own against the likes of IBM, Deutsche Bank, and Ernst & Young (not quite Arthur Andersen, but those CPAs are all the same...), then the yuppie corporate drones and their PR hacks have taken over the world. Course, if They had done the jingle for Ernst & Young, then I'd have to come up with a different rationalization pdq, but the point remains... ***VOTE!*** This is even more important than the sexyguy contest, this is TMBG's music's honor on the line....

Date: Wed, 8 May 2002 11:31:03 -0400 Well, the IT Anthems poll appears to be in a state of suspended animation. A more thorough look at the results page reveals the dates "11th-26th April 2002," and the chart page says "No new chart this week -- we've been busy on Tech Update. But there are more great tunes coming soon!" So let's keep an eye on it, and kick off the votefest when (or if) the poll reopens. Bryce I would have to wait and see. ------------------------------ Subject: TMBG: FW: They Might be Giants perform Robot Parade on Conan tonight!

Once you get off the train, look for the Charles river, then look to your left about 2000 feet down the riverbank, you can't miss it. TMBG goes on at 5 sharp. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenn Scagel" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 1:47 PM Subject: TMBG: Boston Riverfest > > Anyone have any more info on TMBG playing at Riverfest on May 25?

NO ONE SANG ALONG. the john's both looked really amused but slightly embarassed that no one joined in. then they broke into a great version of shoehorn with teeth. there was no interview afterwards, but they rolled the credits on top of conan talking to linnell while flansburgh was talking to the star form "the new guy" and "road trip" (the really skinny dude) hmm, anyway, strange appearance. i'm goin to bed jon jenkins _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------ End of tmbg-list Digest #53-7 *****************************
