Ha ha, you said "flood"!
Anyway, I just got John Henry today, and I don't know what to think about
it. I had heard that it wasn't one of their strongest albums, but does it
get better after you listen to it more?

Well, I know one-line posts are frowned upon, but in a word: yes. :)
Although it's not their strongest album, it's still quite good, and there
are a number of incredible songs on there. I couldn't imagine my TMBG
collection without "I Should Be Allowed To Think", "AKA Driver", "Meet
James Ensor", or "The End Of The Tour" (among others).

altho i really don't want the 2:1 thread back... you can find a grip of
people that are willing to trade for blanks (me!) as we all realize that
everyone has to start somewhere...

Someone on the TMBG wwwboard said that in a copy of a radio interview they
had, the Johns said that STD will be coming out near the beginning of next
year! Woo-hoo!

I think I understand where all of the disparity comes from in people's
opinions of John Henry, even though I thought it is was a fantastic album from
the start. It is a departure from any sound they had in the past and
really any sound they've had since then. It is heavy on the velcro
horns and has that nearly live album feel on a number of tracks. So it
depends on if you like those 2 things or not, really.

>Great Jiminy Christmas! Is this for real?
Of course it is! My inside informant tells me that track #3 is (what
else?) Number Three, sung by William Shatner. Any word yet on whether or
not they were able to get the Cranberries to cover Birdhouse In Your Soul?
And please join me in hoping that they didn't let the Spice Girls anywhere
NEAR Stompbox.

And some people are cooler still, and will free trade (you send 1 blank
tape and pay postage both ways). Ask!

-I heard Ben Folds Five in the grocery store yesterday!
This is also way off the subject of TMBG, it's also off of what you said,
but it kind of counts because you said Ben Folds Five. I flipped on the
radio , and to my surprise, the local station was playing Brick. It's
some kind of conspiracy. " The cows are not what they seem" kind of
stuff. What's also cool is two songs after, they played Soul Coughing.
Now back To TMBG. I'm in a theater class in my high school, and we had to
do one of the most boring things in the world. WRITE A PLAY!!! NOOO!!!
Anyway, one of my friends did a play about a talk show(they stole the
idea from me). What makes this interesting is the guys name was John
Flansburgh. I asked him what happened to Linnell, and he said he died. I
guess that's what happens when bands break up.
I guess that's enough blabber for a while.
