As has been mentioned many times in many contexts here, irony doesn't translate into print. It's pretty easy to imagine these statements being said "as a joke", isn't it?

From rollingstone.com: TMBG Dial Up Anniversary Anthology, tour planned to celebrate twenty years... Rhino records will release Dial-A-Song: Twenty Years of They Might Be Giants on September 3rd, a fifty-two track compilation that, as promised in the title, spans the two decade career of Johns Flansburgh and Linnell. The two-CD set will include a trio of previously unreleased tracks -- live versions of "She's Actual Size," "Spy" and "Stormy Pinkness" -- in addition to a handful of odds and ends that had appeared on soundtracks, including "Dr. Evil" from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and the group's Grammy-winning "Boss of Me" from Malcolm in the Middle. The remainder of the songs were culled from They Might Be Giants's nine studio albums, from 1986's They Might Be Giants to the just-released children's album, No!. Most thoroughly represented is the band's best-selling album, 1990's Flood, from which seven songs were drawn. "I think our entire career is 'the other way of doing it,' pretty much all the way down the line," Flansburgh says. "And that's very exciting for us. We're happy to be an example of something that works outside of the regular way it works. Just simply because of the contempt we have for the world." In addition to promoting No!, the Giants are also working on their next adult album, the follow-up to last year's Mink Car. "It's interesting, you do something like [No!], and then you can go back to exploring adult images again," Flansburgh says. "It's really good to keep yourself challenged. I think I've come to realize one of the reasons so many bands fade out is they feel like they only do one thing well. We probably only do one thing well -- or we may not even do it that well -- but, more importantly, we pretend that we can do more than one thing well." The duo is also planning to begin a lengthy tour of the U.S. to celebrate their anniversary. The jaunt will launch in July and run through August, before taking a short break and resuming in October and November. "Basically, wherever you live," Flansburgh says, "like it or not, we're coming to your town [laughs]."

The title was what got me hopeful. Although I've never really had much faith in Rhino. IMHO they try to pretend to be all spiffy and different by picking up what could be cool projects, but in the end they're just as corporate and mundane as is possible. *shudder* And simple compilations of past work aren't extremely creative. But I'm not an expert on Rhino so I'm gonna shut my mouth now... Wouldn't that be cool though, to get a CD release of the old dial-a-songs? I'd pay for it.
