I'd pay for it. Of course, odds are, most of us will also pay for this CD, plus many more casual fans as well. There's nothing wrong with releasing a compilation, I guess. It's a way of treating new fans well by not making them pay for your entire back catalog. Though it would be nice if it had a Then-sized portion of rare material. It's just too bad they didn't give it a different name, and saved DAS for a possible DAS CD. -- Matt Brown (hangdman@cc.gatech.edu) cs1321 Head TA Ga Tech PST Undergrad Philosophy Society Chairman http://thm.askee.net Society of Physics Students Member -= "Every day is a good day" - Zen Proverb =- ------------------------------ Subject: RE: TMBG: Dial-A-Song:20 Years Of They Might Be Giants Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 09:45:02 -0400 Message-ID: From: "Karin Highfield" Queen Quinn Quotes: >"I think our entire career is 'the other way of doing it,' pretty >much all the way down theline," Flansburgh says.

Yeah, we had this discussion when the track list was first released, and I agree that an actual Dial-a-Song CD would really rock. However, I must take exception to your characterization of Rhino as "corporate and mundane". They've done some impressive stuff in the past, including releasing compilations from bands that otherwise wouldn't have gotten much mainstream attention. And their re-releases of older albums from established artists are superb, always including bonus tracks that add a lot to the original release (see Bowie, Elvis Costello, etc...). Maybe this particular effort is just a panacea for the masses, but don't give up on Rhino -- they may put something together for us "real fans" yet.

While I'm glad to have Then, I didn't have the pink album, Lincoln, or Miscellaneous T at the time I bought it. For someone who already owned those three albums, I'm sure Then looked like a bit of a rip-off. The incredibly low number of rare and unreleased tracks on this collection means there really isn't any reason for a hardcore fan to buy this, unless they're of the collecting persuasion. As for new fans, it seems like a decent mix of material, although John Henry is ridiculously underrepresented, and there aren't enough B-sides.
