EEEEEEEGGGGGGGrRRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAH Ok, I know that was a bit loud, but
I'm feeling a bit loud (NOT angry :) *hyuk*. You just had the idea (and
your free to them :) to replace my 2 favorite songs on John Henry, with
my 2 favorite b-sides. I absolutely deeply cherish "A Self Called
Nowhere", "Window" delights my haggard unhappy heart. I live by the code
of "Hotel Detective", it's even great backwards. And I'm brought back to
childhood by Mrs. Train. If Hotel Detective were to replace something on
JH, I'd have to go with Spy. I'm sure John and John meant not to have
too many 40's type Secret Agent Songs on their album. Or Mrs. Train
could replace Extra Savoir Fare, because I like Mrs. Train SO much better
(sorry guys/gals who like this song, and Spy.) But you can't get rid of
"A Self Called Nowhere", and "Window". At least you can't in my private
world :) But I totally agree those 2 b sides would be better on a (easy
to get) full length album. On the other hand, John and John probably
felt that Mrs. Train's lightness would clash with such a dark album, who
knows?

Actually, if I may add my $0.02: I never thought of the song in that way,
but I do like the song because to me it is all about Radio Astronomy (one
of my favorite areas of science). "Can you hear what I see in the sky?"
seems to me to be a nice reference to the job of "listening" to the sky
with a radio telescope. As a matter of fact, I once did a physics seminar
entitled "Can you hear what I see in the sky: A brief introduction to Radio
Astronomy."

Hello All,
I haven't had my account for awhile and haven't been able to keep up with all
the latest news....However, today they played "Birdhouse In Your Soul" on M2
(for a second I thought they'd actually play Dr. Worm....) anyways, that VJ
Jancee Dunn talked about them after the video and said that they were going on
tour to Australia to "cash in" because they are very popular there and that
the Childrens Album was going to be titled "No"....is this true? old news?
just wondering.......

oh geez... the legacy of leffel described in one e-mail?
hey dylan flipse!!! you wanna field this one? (hahaa! my evil ploy to
bring him out of lurkerdom and bring the "fun with sigs leffel style"
back to the list).
no but seriously folks, if you want to get the true essence of mike
leffel and just what an impact he had on the list you'd have to read
quite a few digests where he contributed. It shouldn't be too hard to
search the archives... look through late '96 into mid '97, he pretty
much filled up every days digest with his own "non-relevant crap" every
day. Someone with a stick up their ass once did the math and found that
he was responsible for like 70-some-odd % of the posts to each digest,
most of which were not related to TMBG (unless you could see through
mikes twisted set of links). Needless to say, that's why his name arises
every time there's a thread started by some newbie "don't let people post
non-tmbg related stuff to the list."
There were a few people that didn't like him (hahaarob!) and those
of us that did like him, often got in major conflicts with list members
that were yelling at him to shutup (hahaarob!). Mike was really cool
tho... if you were his bud. Heh, one time someone flamed me and i got
reeeally upset about it (to the point where i was gonna leave the list)
hehee... he offered to spam their account in a rather obscene way for me,
i told him not to, but it was enough to keep me on the list cuz i was so
entertained by him and all the other list members that offered to join us
even tho they didn't know the details of mike's plan. And well, that is
mike in a nutshell, entertainment. Anyways... i'm getting too much into
my own personal stories.
If anyone wants to fill in the actual story of mike and how he
just disappeared one day only to return several months later and inform
us of how he was majorly sick (sorry i can't member the details...) only
to disappear again a few weeks later and never return...

I don't think Mrs. Train would make a very good album track... it's kind
of a novelty song... it's kind of silly, has that speed up thing going
on...
or, if you don't like that argument... where do you put it on an album?
Generally speaking, an album has a fairly contiguous feel to it - the
songs don't necessarily have to flow, but there should be some sense of
continuity. The way Mrs. Train starts out could make it nothing but a
starting track, maybe... the nice thing about EPs is that it doesn't
really matter where things appear...
the thing I find interesting aboutu b-sides is that they often are
things that were done out of TMBG's style at the time... Nightgown of
the Sullen Moon would not fit on Lincoln, but it would work great on
Flood, for example... same for We're the Replacements. some of them
are, though, just that - b-sides, and could never be album tracks. I'd
have a hard time putting When it Rains it Snows or I'll Sink Manhattan
on any album...
(this was actually more true of their older b-sides... not so much anymore)
for those reasons, too, I predict that "4 of 2" will never be anything
more than a b-side... (unfortunately)
as far as A Self Called Nowhere and Window... well, I like those
songs... and I think Window leads into Out of Jail perfectly...
just my... uhh, 4 or 5 cents or so...

well, it depends... if they made a great song that became popular, no
problem... if they made something that was totally not their style or
any style they had ever come close to, and it became popular, we'd have
another situation like in 1990 - people would like one song but be
turned off by the other stuff. I would have been really disappointed if
S-E-X-X-Y had become popular, because it is *soooo* not their style.
Of course, I also thought Dr. Worm had potential... <sigh>

actually, he might be back in a couple of weeks... I know a friend of
his here at CMU, and he said that when he goes home for the winter, he's
going to help fix Mike's computer and get him back online...
(apparently, that's more difficult than it sounds in Nebraska)
I'm sure when he comes back he'll fill us in on all the details of where
he's been for the last year and a half... :)
Also, he's the one who started the signature thing with the quote in the

Okay... Hey anyone and everyone. I have something interesting which I
promised to share last year when I was working on it. Anyway, I was in
this math class last year that related Mathematics to most everything in
the universe, and we had to write a paper about anything we wanted to,
so long as it was math related. So I found mathematical connections in
TMBG's music and wrote a paper about it. If you're interested, you can

Another one of these threads? Mike Leffel was the king of absurdity.
Because of him, many productive groups sprouted up that contributed to
society in many different ways (such as the United Coalition of 14 Year
Olds Against Mike Leffel). He also started the middle name thing.

I have this theory about collegiate music lineups--they have good years
and bad years. My own university, after two astoundingly uninspiring
lineups, this year got Natalie Macmaster, Mark O'Connor, Anonymous 4,
*AND* the Reduced Shakespeare Company. Now *that's* a lineup. (And yes,
of course I have tickets.) I can almost forgive them for ignoring my only
slightly pathetic plea to please please bring TMBG and/or Moxy Fruvous to
campus.

I have Stunt, (been a BNL fan, though never an insane one, since Gordon
days) but it hasn't been in my CD player since summer. I've bought a lot
of new CDs recently (speaking of which, everyone check out Great Big Sea!
They kick major booty!), but still.
A shame, because their first two albums (never cared for _Born on a Pirate
Ship_, returned it the week after I bought it) are very good--melodic,
insightful, bitingly funny.
One less "secret" band, I guess.

You know, it's not really a TMBG song, but don't forget the Mono Puff song
"Careless Santa"; I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet...
Ok, ok, it's old. I'm sorry. To make up for it, I humbly propose some
songs by The Bobs, whose Christmas album (Too Many Santas!) is, IMHO,
their strongest. (I've only heard two, maybe 2 1/2 others, but I didn't
much like them)
Also the Arrogant Worms. I've not heard their Christmas album (Christmas
Turkey), but I have "Live Bait" and love it. With song titles like "Oh
God, I'm Santa Claus", "Christmas in Ignace", and "Vincent the Christmas
Virus", what could go wrong?

You can fix it if you really want to. Just pry a small screwdriver into where the
two halves meet and twist it till you crack it open. Then carefully transplant plant the
two reels into the body of another cassette (the kind with screws). Of course it might
just be easier to make the tape all over again especially since you'll have a big ugly gap
where the mangled tape was excised. I performed this operation a few times and it worked
okay.
With all this talk of Christmas tapes, I wanna make my own but its a little late for
this year. Maybe next.

Not so sure about Europe, but there appears to be an Asian version that I

that it isn't like the STD version or the .MOV from tmbg.com. Am I going
crazy or has anyone else heard this (new) version?

I don't know if it's true, but it would seem to be the perfect name for a
TMBG children's album. Think about it...what's the one word that kids hate
to hear from other people "No, you can't have this...No, you can't do
that". Using the one word that children hate above all others as the name
for a children's album sooooooo TMBGish. (not that I'm saying they
necessarily had that in mind)

Hey,
I got started with TMBG on Flood (actually, some guys were driving me
crazy singing the songs on a hiking trip for miles and miles!), but now I
just get sick of it. After expanding my collection to include all of their
albums, I find that Flood just kind of pales in comparison- maybe it's too
commercial? Maybe I'm just sick of it? What do you think? My personal
favorite right now is John Henry- the decidsion to use real instrumentation
produced a really great, well-balanced rocking album.
What do you guys think?
(BTW, PLEASE stop talking about this Josh guy! TMBG all the way!

Yes, I still love Flood (currently in my car's tape deck) but no more or less
than I love any of their cds. I can't imagine doing without a single one,
because every single cd has a few absolute gems and others that I love almost
as much, with only one or two songs per cd I could live without. That's a
damn good average. It's interesting that you mention how the full band sound
of JH is an improvement since there is currently a thread on the newsgroup
about whether or not they should ditch the band (I don't think so).

Heh . . . I got started on Apollo 18. The Statue Got Me High, to
be specific. I was talking to a friend on the phone when he suddenly
said, "Hey, listen to this!" and put the phone up to his stereo speakers.
After listening for a bit, he asked me what I thought. "Great!" I said.
"Who the hell are they?" "They Might Be Giants," he replied. And thus
began my trek into the depths of They-dom . . .

I do nae have a favorite album, as I enjoy all of them more or
less equally. One of the things that placed Them as my absolute favorite
band ever was the fact that there is not one song of theirs that I
actually hate. There are only maybe one or two (Bag of Groceries and
SEXXY are the first that spring to mind) that I could say I don't really
care for, but even those I listen to and know all the words to. Flood is
no less entertaining to me now that it's ever been!
I, personally, don't think that the "commercial" argument really
hold any water anyway. A band can't really sound "commercial", as many
"commercial" bands have had extremely different sounds. And just because
Flood did better commercially than their other albums shouldn't be any
reason to ostricize it . . . I hate it when people do that. My brother,
for example, absolutely loved Hanson's MMMBop until he found out everyone
else loved it, too, after which he dropped it like a red hot bar of iron.
I mean, really, if you like the music, like the music . . . doesn't matter
whether someone else (or everyone else) likes it or not.

My favorite songs right now is a tie between the STD versions of
Spider and James Ensor (the latter mostly because of the "vocal guitars"
=] ).

They mention "No" as the title of their children's album in the MTV feature
interview (linked to the www.tmbg.org main page). It's a cool title, but it
could backfire to use a word kids hate as the title if they expect kids to
actuallly *want* the cd. They also mention that their next regular cd is
going to be called "Jesus, Hitler, and Me" (referring to Flansburgh's hopeful
rise to third place in the Time person of the Century pole behind Jesus and
Hilter), so there's no telling if they're serious about "No" or not ("Insect
Hospital," anyone?).

I have no idea if this is acceptable for this list but as I*m shortly off to the
sun until next year can I take this opportunity to wish you all a mery
Xmas and a happy New Year
Can I thank everyone for their posts over the last year (well, since I
joined anyway) especially, but not exclusively, people like bicknell@ufp,
captainmarvel2, Uncle Squid (see you at the concerts in January?),
grennjello1973. J.Kueemnerle, KidsInThHal, Superman75 and of course
tmbgirl (for the tapes which I hope are on their way) and Russj (for the
videos). And even dilbert_2000 - well it is the season of goodwill!
Messages on the list have made turning on the computer each morning a
pleasure; and when all you tend to do with a computer is spreadsheets
and balance books you need an incentive to switch the thing on!
I hope to see some of you in London in mid January when TMBG play
two, yes two, concerts. I suspect nothing less than the promise of two
TMBG concerts will make me leave that tropical Australian beach to come
back to a damp and wet London.
So enjoy yourselves everyone.

how do you people do that? i've never returned a cd in my life. sometimes i'm
not crazy about them, and i keep them.. it can be a year until they grow on
me, or i even decide to give them a second chance. i still even have ones i do
dislike (from that spurt of music in 1994... green day, offspring..) and i
plan to take them to a used store, i just never get around to it.

Obviously, I can't speak for many people here, but I have a couple of
different reasons why I "return" CDs:
--I really really need money (ah, don't ya love college?)
--I review something (I do music reviews for a campus paper) that
is really really bad
--I just decide that I'm never going to listen to a CD ever again,
and want to get something I will actually enjoy
I know that there are some holes in what I do (I normally sell about 5 CDs
a month or so)...I sold a Cursive CD (Such Blinding Stars for Starving
Eyes, in case anyone's heard them), and then decided two weeks later that
I HAD to hear a certain song. So then I was screwed.
But hey...just yesterday I traded the Cher CD (which I got for free, but
never bothered to listen to), the newest Sarah Mclachlan (had two), and
the new Dial 7 album (which is just bad) for four 7"s (Jawbox, Promise
Ring, Karl Hendricks Trio, and a split 7" between Tim Kinsella and Jen
Wood) and a CD single (split between Burning Airlines and Braid). Not a
bad deal...

I got started on Flood way back..umm 3 years ago? No..must of been longer than
that.. anyways I was in 8th grade..didn't ahve a lot of money, and it was the
first cd I ever owned. I begged my parents for it for christmas. I still like
it when I'm in a certain mood, but I got all flooded out when that was the
only cd I had to listen to when I went down to Florida driving with my parents
from all the way from NY. After listening to one cd that long...man..you start
to hallucinate..or maybe the subliminal messages took effect and thats why I'm
such a big fan now.. ::shrugs::

I definitely agree with you there... It's not that it's too commercial -
I don't think it is. But it's... top heavy, for one... I love the first
10 tracks or so... then it becomes sparse... I skip Hearing Aid, and
sometimes Minimum Wage (it gets annoying after too many listens), listen
to Letterbox and Whistling, and then turn it off and put in a different
CD. I think Apollo 18 is the same way.
And some of thost first 10 tracks get tiresome after a while. Flood is
a much more... synthetic sounding album than the mostly acoustic
Lincoln...
John Henry, on the other hand, has Out of Jail, Stomp Box, and the End
of the Tour, to give balance to Subliminal, Sleeping in the Flowers, and
I Should Be Allowed to Think. Plus it's got a lot of really good stuff
in the middle, too. And I think that the End of the Tour is about the
strongest ending track they'll ever have - I used it as the last track
on my tape, "TMBG's very best songs," too.

I started my TMBG fetish with flood too. (Actually it was thanx to Tiny
Toons, who knew?) And I still love it. I mean, how could I live without
Birdhouse, and I still love Groceries... And if I ever had to rank their
albums, I don't hink I could do it. I mean, I could... but it would be
VERY difficult since they all have such greatness and I would never be
stisfied with the rankings.

Call 1-800-551-7328. That's Ticketbastard's number listed on the
envelope they gave me (there are local numbers, too, but presumably you
want to call toll free)
It's gonna be a kickass show - they've had two months to practice. I'd
better hear some songs they haven't played in a while...

Actually, Tiny Toons just sparked my interest and I it took me a year or
so to figure out that these guys were real, and to figure out what there
name actually was (There May Be Giants? What?) But Apollo 18 was
actually the first album I heard. My friend had it and I borrowed it and
memorized the whole thing. and that was before I actually got out and
bought Flood.

I have to admit I'm a Floodie. It is how I started liking TMBG like you.
But then I got John Henry and it blew me away. I hated Factory Showroom
and I like Severe Tire Damage.

well, you can check out

I used to feel the same way about Flood, that all the best tracks were
the earlier ones but over the years I've come to love every song, even
Sapphire Bullets. By the way Dead is my _favorite_ TMBG song. It
beautiful. Anyway, I think Flood is one of the best TMBG albums, and I
don't hesitate to say that. I think the songs are very pure. I don't
exactly know what that means, but I think it's accurate. It's also
because it's the only album that dosen't have a song that annoys me.

:) BTW, I should probably add that I don't necessarily think this was

I don't really care for Window, so yeah, it'd be great if the alternate
Hotel Detective or Mrs. Train was put on instead. However, I happen to
think Self Called Nowhere is great. John's accent is great, the imagery,
and the way the lyrics and singing reach a crescendo (if that's even the
correct music terminology, since I'm about the most musically untalented
person on the planet) are all just great. In fact, it is one of the songs
I look forward to most on the album.

>okie... how bouts all the floodies out there? you think you'd do it
>all over again?
what if your a floodie who didn't listen to Flood until about 2 or 3
years after it was made, yet it was the first album of theirs you heard,
and the one that got you hooked. I had never previously heard of TMBG
before I listened to Flood around 1993, when my big sis played it for me.
In my depressed state of mind (middle school is hell) TMBG cheered me up
greatly, and thus became a very important part of my life. If I could
feel the same way I felt, when TMBG was a new form of prozac for me, yes
I would do it all over again :) *sniff* But TMBG still makes my glee,
wee hee hee. But everyone knows that no time is like the first time you
fall in love with a great group. And boy did I, this has been about a 6
year relationship.

Woohoo! I'd love to hear John say "Park your car by the bar at
Harvard Yard" in that voice. Not to mention that "Standing in my yard
where they tore down the garage to make room for the torn-down garage"
is one of the greatest lines he's ever written. The surreal ending is
just awesome.

Geez, I'll always have a place for Birdhouse in my heart. I don't really
care about comercialism, I care about melody, fidelity, and quantity.
But I think my favorite album, that I'll never ever tire of, is Apollo
18.
