Hey, I'll be there. I'm taking my buddy Rich, Mike Leffel, and three female friends of mine. Other than Mike, none of these people have ever seen a Giants show before. I don't think any of us will be wearing costumes, but I wouldn't put it past those girls. If you're interested in finding me, I will most likely be the half Indian kid wearing a faded black tshirt with a yellow 51 on the back.

JL: This is a song from our previous effort, before the compilation thing. A children's record which-- JF: Actually, we didn't put any effort into the compilation thing. JL: I'm still reeling from the compilation. JF: Although it is my finger on the cover of the record. *cheers* Don't applaud till--there's no punchline to this story. We wanted to get sugar ants, those little red sugar ants, for the cover, but you can't buy those on-line. But you can buy really gigantic black ants on-line. What they don't tell you is they actually bite. Which was kind of a surprise. JF: So every day is Halloween for They Might Be Giants, so in tribute to that fact, and as we get closer and closer to the real Halloween, with people dressing up inexplicably--I'm not really sure, I've seen so many people in costume today, I was like "What is this, St. Mark's Place?" ...You get $5 off if you dress up! Somehing to think about. This next set of songs here is in tribute. This first song is about a guy with one eye. This is how it goes. A sort of slow, swingy, no solo, three choruses, two verses-- JL: Just do the song, they'll get the form. Guy in the audience: *something* JL: Ixnay on the ongsay. JF: Oh yeh, you can hear everything perfectly, is what you're screaming out? That's what I thought...No countoff, you come in late? JL: Yeh. *They start to play Cyclops* JF: Wait, wait, I forgot to explain this. In the spirit of Halloween, we can't think of anybody creepier than Peter Noon of Herman's Hermits. So to make it a little bit scarier we're going to sing in the voice--as if there were two Peter Noons. Singing in harmony together. For extra fear factor. JL: I think they made a movie about that. There were two Peter Noons, and-- JF: It was a cautionary tale after-school special. To teach kids how to not be Peter Noon. JL: It's interesting to try to dovetail this--what I used to think of as adult material into a show where there's clearly kids coming. But I guess the Halloween thing somehow makes death imagery ok for everybody. It's considered, uh...considered good. JF: Here's the last of the death trilogy. *They play Ensor* JL: That is it! No more death songs! We're *done.* The rest of the show, it's all going to be affirmational... JF: Christian. Christian stuff. JF: John, I forgot to put the new song on the setlist. JL: Here's a totally innocuous song for kids that apparently kids don't actually like. JF: Let's do Au Contraire. JL: Oh, all right. We'll do one that everybody...doesn't know yet. JF: No one's even weighed in on this one. JL: We've got the drum track here, if I can figure out... JF: This song features our drummer Dr. Sample. JL: So here's that song I was talking about. It's on our new record. We thought this was a surefire song kids would like but apparently quite a lot of kids cry when they hear this song. But grown-ups are into it, so we play it. *They play Violin* JF: This next song--there's actually this crazy blistering heavy metal version of this on the Rhino compilation that just came out called "Robot Parade: the Adult Version." It's actually the original version. But we're going to do the mellow version today just to avoid caterwauling. JL: Actually, it would probably drown out... JF: That's the other alternative. If you play the really loud version, no one could hear the screams. JF: We're going to be doing a signing after this next song, we want to lay down a few ground rules. Pushing counts, it's strictly first come first serve, bad vibes are always welcome, act like a freak, and pretend you're in New York. And we want to thank all the nice people at Borders, cos this is really a nice place, we like playing at Borders. We've played at a lot of record stores--they're not so nice. JL: We're not gonna name names, but... JF: We're not gonna name all the record chains that are out there. But there's just something about record store clerks--I *was* a record store clerk. I did a Blondie in-store...it was kinda weird, there was nobody there. It was horrible for her cos I was a total fan. JL: "Can you sign my record again, man?" JF: I asked her all these questions, she hated me.
