I've been listening to They Might Be Giants for a long while, ever since Flood in fact, quite possibly the quintessential TMBG album of all time. A few years ago (gosh, it's hard to believe it's been that long) I wrote about The Else, the last adult orientated album the group released. Since then, they released Here Come the 123's last year, and just last month Here Comes Science, both of which...

photo: Autumn De WildeBrooklyn duo They Might Be Giant are one of those rare bands that cater to both the adult and kids music market. After releasing an album about he alphabet (Here Come the ABCs) and numbers (Here Come the 123s) the new CD/DVD set Here Comes Science is their most ambitious yet, tackling various subjects like Computer Aided Design, prisms and rainbows (Roy G. Biv), Photosynt...

They Might Be Giants create a kids' album about science. Could there be a better pairing of band and topic?

[10-25-2008] I grew up listening to They Might Be Giants with my band nerd friends in high school. And I am willing to admit that most of my useless trivia knowledge comes from their extensive song library. We all know that old New York was once New Amsterdam for a reason, but did anyone appreciate our 11th president (James K. Polk) until 1996? I didn't think so; the man seized the whole south...

At this point you have probably heard a million songs from They Might Be Giants in about a million different places. From product placements in commercials, neat little TV spots, or poignant verses placed in movies they have been showcased in a multitude of different mediums, and whether you knew it or not their quirky tunes were invading your subconscious. My first exposure to the band came

They Might Be Giants - The ElseIdlewild/Zoë, 20075 stars out of 10Two Brooklynites named John, Messrs. Linnell & Flansburgh, made four albums and a bunch of B-sides without a backing band from the mid-'80s up to '92. The majority of this work is canonized in some circles; "geek rock," "quirky pop," "art pop" (my preference), whatever you want to call the circles is up to you but you get the gis..

I'm not sure whether this is sad or not, but a new remix of an old They Might Be Giants tune is better than most everything they did last year. The Dj BC club remix of "Don't Let's Start" features Big Willie Smith and is goddamn great. Great like it has no right to be. Direct download.And I'm calling shenanigans on Andrew Bird. Something I always like on albums is when musicians re-use melodie...

[photo courtesy of coulter] review by neild I'd never been to (le) Poisson Rouge before, so I wasn't sure what to expect from the new space in the old Village Gate basement. After wending my way through (le) Poisson's subterranean lair, and slaying the grue that guarded the entrance to the performance space proper, I found myself [...]

If you managed to wake up out of that post Thanksgiving hibernation and avoided Black Friday's death grasp, then perhaps you're up for the few shows happening around town tonight. Down in DC They Might Be Giants are playing the 9:30 Club and I've heard something about them performing their hit album Flood all the [...]

I love kids singing. I want to start off saying I hate Kids Bop and Jordy. That out of the way I typically like it when kids sing on albums. Here's a short list I've thought of. I love the Langley School Music Project, The Shaggs, Patience and Prudence, those kids that sing on Pink Floyd's The Wall, those kids at the beginning of the Rolling Stones's "You Can't Always Get What You Want", th...

is a 1979 Columbia Commuter.And no, that's not pink there....it's azalea.In high school, after having several auto fender benders, my insurance was raised to high for my meager Pier 1 Imports retail clerk salary. Thus my senior year was spent driving a Peugeot Moped around...it was monster green and noisy as all get out. The muffler had been drilled to increase the speed and I would tear arou...

So Big Daddy took obscene liberties with A Day In The Life, Hash hewed too close to the original, although Spike and dermahrk offer valuable opinions on this. And Harry Nilsson is just a wee bit too cutesySo....How 'bout this...
