"People are just glad we're still here"
#TheyMightBeGiants are still at it, still equal parts catchy and catastrophic.
John Flansburgh told us about the band’s existential humor, why Jack Bruce from Cream is on the album (kind of), and why Louisville has the best junk stores in America.
Also: decrepitude, Mellotrons, and the upside of shouting “Let’s Get This Over With.”

But my real question was where is he when he's leaving the front unlocked (because he can't hear the doorbell)? His house/apartment? A music store?
@lexfri They have always been the hardest working pair in indie music. After all these years, simply in order not to have to give up the title, they are forced to THINK UP IMPOSSIBLE STUNTS TO DO LIVE JUST TO SHOW OFF.
I saw this live in Pittsburgh in May of last year and I had a nerdgasm
Tonight's chana-masala-making #music is #TheyMightBeGiants monster of an album, "Flood" [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_(They_Might_Be_Giants_album) ]
This was one of the most influential albums of me in my 20-something nerddom. I knew from that day pop music had a future in spite of the painful absence of Pink Floyd and Queen.
"Birdhouse In Your Soul" was an anthem for me and all my Renfaire Crew for many years after.
Flood remains one of the most memorable albums of my lifetime.
