TMBG videos

ps238principal posted links to some They Might Be Giants videos here; my personal favorites are "Birdhouse In Your Soul" and "Particle Man". (Although personally I visualized Universe Man as being more kindly than that.)

I take it you never saw the Tiny Toons Particle Man video back in the day? Istanbul Not Constantinople also has a Tiny Toons version, something about Plucky Duck tracking down a stolen Maltese Falcon in Istanbul. These were my first exposure to TMBG, and for years my only exposure to them. Nowadays, my boyfriend and I go to see them whenever we can. I'm trying to convince him we should see them at Mohegan Sun July 1st, since that's our 4-year anniversary.

This is the first time I've seen any of these videos. My first exposure to TMBG (and until now, my only exposure) was via CDs owned by a friend of mine. Should I happen to be in the same town as him at the same time as a concert, I'll probably check 'em out at some point.

TMBG have a podcast that you can subscribe to. Every 2 weeks or so they put out a new one. It's 20 min's of various live songs.

They put on a very good live show, even the ones focused on their childrens' songs, usually at reasonable prices. I use their song "Why Does the Sun Shine?" in my college astronomy classes.

Unfortunately, the last thing I need right now is another distraction/attention divider. But thanks. :)
