To whoever wrote that... are you a member of CUB concerts or know someone
on the committee? The only mention they made was that the concert was
being held on 4/8. The next time they will put something out will be an
ad in the school newspaper, which will be released this Tuesday (3/11) at
4pm EST. I don't think that leaves enough time for people to get money or
work around classes to get tickets. I still think they will go on sale on
3/24. But if I see something different before then, you will know.

So much to say, so little time (and an AKA at the back).
My Office
After reading about how cool / uncool people's parents are, I just thought
I would relate a little story of my own. I work as an Architect, and the
office where I work (about 15 people) is predominantly middle aged people.
Last week I had TMBG, Lincoln and Flood in the office for one of my
colleagues (who I managed to talk into coming to Their gig). We all have
our own CD-Roms, and another staff member asked to borrow my CDs on a
rotational basis. We had client drinks on Friday night, and another member
of staff put Lincoln in and turned it up on the speakers. Also I was doing
some overtime on Saturday and was listening to Live in NY. I went to lunch
and turned my CD off, but on my return a senior Architect was at my desk
bopping away to "Whistling". A couple of other times through the day he
turned it on after I had switched it off.
My Radio Station
I have sung the praises of our National youth broadcaster, Triple J, many
times here. A few months ago, FS was Feature Album (one song per hour) and
there are a couple of DJ's who always play something They. JJJ is national
and very popular, so it is great exposure. On the weekend Jane Gazzo played
Birdhouse from her Live in NY CD and it was so cool to hear it on the
radio. But that's not the big news. Every Thursday night at 10pm are the J
Files. It lasts for 3 hours and is enormously popular. Anyhow, the J Files
have a theme, one week may be songs from 1990, another may be songs about
days of the week. Once it was songs by Tom Dick or Harry. The show has
songs, interviews, quizes and lots of other stuff and is always heaps of
fun. Well, after badgering the host for a few months now, he has decided to
do a They J File in just over a fortnight. Imagine, 3 hours of They on
National Radio. It must be a dream.
Thanks for listening.

A good way to compress audio but still retain quality is to RealAudio 3.0
Dual ISDN encode it. First, I'd try re-recording your WAVe as 44.1KHz 16bit
Stereo (CD Quality) then download the RealAudio Encoder at
http://www.real.com/products/encoder/realaudio/index.html
and encoding your WAVE as Dual Channel ISDN Stereo. It will take a 50 or
60MB WAVE to about 3 or 4MB, and still sound pretty good. A 2 minute song
will be under 2MB, if I remember correctly. At least FAR smaller then the
WAVE version.To playthe file(s), you can download the RealAudio Player 3.0
FREE at
http://www.real.com/products/player/download.html
RealAudio 2.0 Player Plus owners can upgrade to RealAudio Player Plus 3.0
free, too. Hope this helps.....

I have found a way I can offer Real Audio versions of

WAV files. Check out the preview section at http://www.tmbg.org/
to try them out.
If they prove popular I'll convert over the other songs
as well. The quality on these should be much better.

Have you made sure you have downloaded Version 3.0 from RealAudio?
http://www.realaudio.com
If you don't have version 3, it will display error messages, because
RealAudio 2.0 doesn't recognize the format. If you do have version 3.0, and
you are SURE you do, you might try reinstalling RealAudio 3.0 anyways, and
if it still refuses to work, then I cannon help you.

OR you could mpeg3 encode the same wave at the same sample rate, and
produce the same size (3MB or so) and make it CD quality instead of
vinyl quality or whatever Real Audio is. Now to just figure out how to
work this encoder ;)

I totally agree! I think I mentioned this some few months ago, shortly
after FS came out, but only a few people said they liked the synth
better! When I first listened to FS, I went in thinking that TBAR was my
favourite song just because of the synth. And when I heard the FS
version, I thought, "Huh. This is not so good as I remeber it" but I
couldn't think of why. The synth adds a great quality to it, of real
bells, and the human bells are just kind of annoying and cheesy...

I was at the IU art museum yesterday, culturing myself instead of doing
homework (so is that good or bad? I don't know...) and I was looking at
some engravings by William Blake (while looking for the ones by Albrect
Durer which I _know_ we have, yet couldn't find) when I noticed that
Blake's close friend JOHN LINNELL commissioned him to repreoduce some of
his colour art works in black-and-white engravings. Isn't that great?
Then, on the other side (they were on this panel thing set up in a kind
of triangle shape), was an engraving by Linnell himself. It was so weird
to read this name, and think of one person, and know its someone else
long dead. Of course, when I first saw the name, I started laughing,
inducing everyone to stare at me...ah well. Has any one else seen any of
Linnell's engravings? I wonder if this is a distant relative of our John?

I have a .wav of that too, and if its the same one, he sang "and sang the
wrong words" because he himself sang the wrong words- after singing "find

finished that line off with flair and pizzaz. I found that .wav to be

Subject: TMBG: the OMLT goddess... dead at 16
Right: Shoes here... You heard right. The OMLT Goddess is DEAD.
Left: Yup. Stone dead. Gone to that great birdhouse in the sky.
Right: Mostly dead, anyway. ...Well, OK, so she's just lightly comatose. The
point is, she won't be much use to you all anymore.
Left: I don't know what happened... all I said was "Hey, did you hear
Linnell's getting married?" She made this kind of strangled, choking noise,
and then... Thud! Keeled right over in her pile of physics homework.
R: She's in rehab right now. Her friends have got her hooked up to a machine
that feeds her intravenously with a steady diet of Ben and Jerry's Cherry
Garcia. Also, there's a little audio tape that repeats a few phrases over and
over...
L: Something like, "He's old enough to be your father!" and "It would never
work, anyway... you hate coffee!"
R: So anyway, after this unforeseen tragedy occurred, the post of Supreme
OMLT Dictator was left open. Times being what they were, we accepted the job.
We will be in charge of the project until the Goddess comes to.
L: We realize we're a bit behind. But, hey, give us any crap and that's the
end of *your* chances at a shirt! <evil laughter>
R: We have just been notified that the stunningly aesthetic design #1 has won
the design contest. (Let's all give Evan a farewell round of applause. He was
a tres cool Design Dictator.) This means that it is now time to begin
collecting... FINAL ORDERS! Woo hoo!
L: As you may recall, prices are dependant on number of ink colors. We count
black, yellow, blue, and green... 4 colors. That means cost will be about
$9.60 per shirt if about 100 of you order a shirt, as was indicated by the
last survey. You have to admit, that's pretty durn cheap.
R: Regular-priced sizes are L or XL. Remember, it's $1.25 extra for XXL.
We'll look into getting smaller sizes, as promised, but no guarantees... If
you are interested in them, you should be prepared to get a large instead.
L: We can't ask for any money just now because the exact price is dependant
on the exact number of orders. What we do need right now is your FINAL ORDER.
R: Send us an e-mail at Christi587@aol.com or little.glowing.friend@tmbg.org.
Tell us:
-How many shirts you want
-What sizes you want them in (remember, you can order a medium... we will
automatically make it a large if mediums cannot be done... hey, just wash it
20 or so times in hot water and it'll be roughly the same!)
-That you will personally cut off your own thumbs if you renege on this deal,
since if even one person changes their mind, it will affect shirt prices for
everyone else. This price calibration is an exact science, people! We don't
need insignificant yeomen such as yourselves throwing monkey wrenches into
the process!
-What is your name and what address you want the shirts shipped to (oh
yeah... shipping... prob'ly an extra buck or two. No big deal. We'll look
into that, too... sigh...)
-What e-mail address you can be reached at most easily
-What is your quest
-What is your favorite color
L: No! No! Forget those last two! And if any of you jokers send barnyard
animal noises or marriage proposals... <draws line across throat and makes
"ccrrckk" sound>
R: Gee, I didn't know shoes had throats.
L: Shut up, Right. And as for all you listers! Send those e-mails ASAP! We
will be setting a drop dead date of April 9... that's one month from today.
It would be a lot earlier but it's spring break season, and none of those
crazy schools can decide on one set of dates for break. We wouldn't want to
make any college kiddies miss out on getting a shirt because they were too
busy off having fun at the beach, would we? <bitterly> Of course not.
R: This means that the OMLT Goddess, if she's un-coma-ed by that time, will
not have an OMLT to show off proudly at the Maryland concert on the 18th. She
will not be pleased. But we all must make sacrifices, so she'll just have to
deal.
L: We will be re-posting this message in a slightly more compact form every
few days to ensure no one gets left out of the know. Please send those
messages as soon as humanly possible. Once all orders have been collected,
we'll calibrate final prices and request checks.
R: But we'll cross that proverbial bridge when we come to it. Anyway, we have
to get going. The Goddess is mumbling in her sleep again, and we have to go
slap her around a bit.
L: Send those orders! Or else we'll sic our big brother on you... he's a
combat boot!

What an awesome thought! Alleluia is a great song! For those of you not

Why, thank you. One more announcement... The OMLT Voting Page is stiff up,
just as it was at it's finest hour. Feel free to visit for nostalgia -->

I have a few things that someone still needs to do (not me):
1) Front Design? Will it be Front and back, or just back? What about having
the "Freak Magnet" quote on the sleeve?
2) Actually, that was everything... um... why did I make a numbered list.....

Stop making nitpicks and jokes! Wwe are witnessing a very sad occasion.
The OMLT Goddess has died, well been mortaly wounded, well injured due
to Flans (I haven't been paying that much attention :) getting
married.
We can not let her incapacitance be in vain! Let us rally around the
OMLT as a show of our support and hope that she will pull through.

Subject: TMBG: Boat of collective car
Hey everybody out there in Giant-land!
I was fiddling about with my keyboard (musical keyboard) today and
figured out how to play a delightful version of "Boat of Car."
Needless to say, I was quite pleased. I like my keyboard a lot
because it has an organ sound that sounds just like the one used on
"Twisting" and "Birdhouse".
Anyhow, I will pose two questions to everyone,
1. Have the Giants ever performed a version of the Fingertips Medley
in concert???
2. What is the meaning of existence? (in reference to Brian Doherty).
Everybody have a good day, meet the person of your dreams, get a
slurpee and eat it with a spork, write a symphony, then have pleasant
dreams sleeping with the nite-lite on.
Peace in John and John.

Subject: TMBG: Cool Review
Hey Giant-Lovers,
Thought you might like to read this review a friend of mine wrote
about the Giants concert here in St. Louis back in January. It was
printed in the University News, St. Louis University's newspaper. Joe
(the writer) is a big Giant's fan and a colorful author!
"MIGHT BE GIANTS MUST BE FUN"
By Joe Laramie
of the University News
Simply put, They Might Be Giants has the most fun when they are
among friends; and that's what this group is all about--fun.
With two packed shows at Mississippi Nights on Jan. 3 and 4 as part
of their Factory Showroom tour, The Giants gave a good sampling of all
their major releases.
The group also threw in a few creations from their upcoming album,
tentatively titled, "Thing", due out sometime next year.
Chainsaw Kittens opened the evening around 9p.m. but,
unfortunately, they displayed none of the creativity that their name
implied.
Something called "Bicycle in My Head" was the first number on the
set, and featured the lead singer screaming all over the helpless
microphone-- with most of the crowd covering their vibrating ears,
trying desperately to avoid the horrid racket.
One side note: The unkonown drummer bore a striking resemblance to
George Clooney in some sort of Jolt Cola-induced stupor.
But then, finally, the two Johns (Flansburg--the big one, and
Linnell--the skinny one) of They Might Be Giants took the stage, and
it was good.
They took the sweating, cheering crowd for a mini-loop, starting
with an unreleased number called, "Older" but then quickly jumped into
the bouncy "James K. Polk" (yes, a mini history about the 11th
president). Next, the four-man-band smashed the night open with the
cult hit, "Why Does The Sun Shine?" (aka The Sun Is A Mass Of
Incandescent Gas").
Traveling with the two Johns was ever-smiling Gallagher-look-alike
drummer Brian Doherty and bass player Graham Maby. This was an
unusually small group, since the players have traveled with extra horn
players for albums on previous tours.
However, the smallness of the band gave the concert a unique
closeness and intimacy that has sometimes been lacking at some of the
jumbo Pointfest shows in the past few years.
Selections included favorites like "Twisting," "Ana Ng," a
10-blissful-minute-long "Spy" version and the hit "Istanbul (Not
Constantinople)."
Additionally, the masses hopped and boogied to new selections such
as "S-E-X-X-Y" and "Metal Detector."
Finally, as mentioned before, the band also sampled a few
unreleased songs including, "They Might Be Giants Got Lost Driving
Around."
The crowd included plenty of teens and college students, along with
a good collection of 30 and 40-somethings.
One woman in her mid 30's relayed a story of traveling to Detroit
and then ambushing the two Johns the afternoon af the show. She leapt
a six-foot fence and then recieved an autograph from both-- cheerfully
from John Flansburg, solemnly from John Linnell. Such is the
dichotomy and duality of the little band from New York.
Also at the conclusion of the evening, after two encores, and two
solid hours of bouncing and singing, this reporter came home with a
valuable souvenir.
Shouting at the roadies and pleading, "Can I have Flansburg's
sweat-laden towel?" one of the kind crew members grimaced and tossed
down just that-- the white towel the lead singer had been mopping his
forehead with all evening.
Overall, the album Factory Showroom seems to represent much of the
best about TMBG, combining some of the wierdness of the first,
self-titled release and wackiness of Flood, with the depth and insight
of John Henry.
If some music lovers don't yet understand this group or don't like
anything except "Istanbul" and "Particle Man" this could be the CD
that lures them back to the quirky, genre-defying sound that is They
Might Be Giants.

Subject: TMBG: DAS, cool review
Hello 41-
DAS- I think for the first time in my life, I called Dial-a-Song and got
through on the first time. I belive it was Feel-Good Sublet, and I was
happy.
Cool Review- This got me thinking... If some obsessive fan (ooooh oooooh!)
were to get to the stage area after a TMBG show and some Flansburgh hair, it
could be disasterous. I belive it was mentioned about Linnell clones, but I
want to bring it up again. What would the world do with all these Johns
running around? It would be interesting. That, and how many Gavins of Bush
would be out there too though. 8^P
Adam

They have played Everything is Catching on Fire and I'm Having a Heart
Attack, both leading into The Statue Got Me High. As far as I know, no
other portion of Fingertips has ever appeared in concert.
