When are we going to get a new TMBG album? I'll buy anything that has TMBG on it, but lately we haven't seen a whole lot of hideously new Giants-goodness. A compilation of old stuff (the big fans probably already have the originals, but they'll still buy it), a compilation of live stuff (just not the same as a studio album or actually seeing them live), a bunch of stuff you have to download (which is as good as ever, but my CD burner sucks so there's noise on the CD I made of it, and my printer sucks so I can't have pretty liner notes like a real album), and now a children's album, which I'll still fight people to the death to be the first to own, but it's just not the same. So when are we getting a brand-new shiny cd produced by an "evil" record company that only wants to make money off its release? Hell, I'll buy every copy you release, I'll pay lofty cd prices while others complain, I'll donate my kidneys, I just think that nothing in the world beats opening a new TMBG cd and listening to it about thirty billion times or until my roommate/cat smashes it over my head, forcing to buy a new one. TMBG are the greatest!!! And Reprehensible is BY FAR the greatest song in human history.
Arrrghghhh.... They Might Be Giants are my all-time favorite band, and I had to miss that concert because I had to be elsewhere, that and I didn't know about it. But that same night, I saw them at a Hootie & the Blowfish concert which I had to pay 30 bucks for.... and after they were kicked off after only half an hour, I cried through two hours of Hootie. When I found out the next Monday about the show, I was horribly depressed, because instead of actually getting to meet my heroes, I had to witness them in front of a crowd of people who probably thought "this opening act is lame". Curses. John & John & gang... please come back to Michigan! I need a second chance to bask in your almighty musical genious!
