Just the way Linnell says mooring makes me happy.
That’s all.
I looked forward to those. It's been almost a month now since the last one. I hope u/thatoneboyaiden is okay.
I saw this billboard on I 75 in Ohio today, and immediately thought it said TMBG. Design wise, let's be honest, it looks like something they would do themselves, so, I mean ya never know 🤔
Anyone else wish some of the songs off Fingertips had full length versions? I feel like Everything is catching on fire and Something grabbed ahold of my hand could be great full length songs. I love Apollo and Fingertips but I wish it were longer
What does everyone think about 'the communists have the music'? And how popular is the song in the Fandom? Personally it's one of my favorites! My boyfriend and I are going to see them next month and I really hope they play ittt!:)
List 3 songs. Only 3, no more, no less. 3 shall be the number thou shalt list, and the number of the listing shall be 3. 4 shalt thou not list, neither list thou 2, excepting that thou then proceed to 3. 5 is right out.
Can we keep the IFC surprises as true surprises? Please don’t post pictures or updates about receiving them. A big part of the fun is arriving home and seeing something from the Giants waiting for you.
I know I can just leave the subreddit, and I know there are far greater problems in our world. But please keep this little joy in our lives!
By the way, I must be thinking of some other band.
Hi! First time member and I’m super excited. Is there usually a designated time of year when the ball starts rolling, or is it up in the air?
Personally I prefer the Severe Tire Damage cut of She's Actual Size. And despite not being a fan of the Factory Showroom version of Metal Detector I love the live version from Cast Your Pod to the Wind.
Have we hit on TMBG’s most underrated songs on each album? Well, we tried! Join Lydia and me for the final episode of our 8-part podcast series. This was a blast to talk through; thanks Lydia for doing this with me! Link to Episode 8 is included if you’re interested. Let us know which ones we missed!
I need some advice on how to listen to They Might Be Giants entire discography, cause I’ve found myself liking some of the popular songs off their first two albums but just can’t feel myself going through all the effort of going through their entire discography, but also I do want to go through their discography to see what this band has in store for me.
Any advice on how I can go through discography?
I have a soft spot for Flansburgh’s straight ahead pop rock stuff. I love his singing voice and think it really suits this style. What are his best songs like this? Here’s a few of my favorites to get us started:
Narrow Your Eyes
Moonbeam Rays
Sleeping in the Flowers
Snowball in Hell
Mine is Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head is painfully overrated.
Pittsburgh shows are approaching at what seems to be light speed-- what do you do in the weeks leading up to a show?
I'm a senior in high school & I'm trying to think of a way I could design a They Might Be Giants themed graduation cap. Does anyone have any potential ideas to help me brainstorm? Thank you!
I’m bringing my kid to the show in Minneapolis. I’m a casual fan, but she’s pretty thrilled and also a minor. This is her first real grownup concert experience and I want to make it fun. I went to lots of punk-rock house shows in the early aughts and loved spending time getting my hair and makeup just right, layering all my tees and camis, etc.
That said, I can’t really catch the vibe of what to expect? I’ve read “jeans and tshirts” for what to wear, but I guess I’m looking for more practical advice. For example: I saw an iridescent alien-shaped vinyl cross-body bag on poshmark and thought that would be fun, but not sure it’s the right thing. We both love to go thrifting for funky accessories.
Everyone seems chill and I’m probably really worried for nothing, but she’s barely old enough to get into the show and she’ll notice if we stand out or don’t fit in, and I only want her focused on having a great time.
