And we’re counting on you. http://www.bowerypresents.com/event/4471

They Might Be Giants just appeared on the Jonathan Ross radio show and performed a semi-impromptu cover of Squeeze’s UP THE JUNCTION and Meet the Elements acoustically and chatted a bit. This will only be up for seven days so dig it now! This is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00svvbn

From JF: “Ah youtube–bringing back the mono puff! This is a track originally recorded by Frank Black that Mono Puff covered during a b-sides session hastily put together at (gone but beloved) Coyote Studio in Williamsburg at the behest of the record co. It united the guitarmanship of Mr. Lyle Workman (now of movie fame who was in town touring with FB at the time) and super-rock guitar genius Eric Schermerhorn (who was in the middle of his tenure with TMBG after some years with Iggy Pop) Their 100% locked-rock interplay on this track is really quite fantastic. Ms. Robin Goldwasser (of Electric Car fame) also jumps in on the harmonies on the final chorus line. This should have been on the album!”

JF notes: “This video below is a strange document. It is a camera rehearsal of the barefoot, double cool Sandie Shaw preparing for her appearance the highly influential Top of the Pops program. As the cameras cut to where the crowds will soon be, the remoteness of her performance would be hard to top.”

TMBG want to remind you today is Father’s Day. It is also the date on which West Virginia became the 35th State! Happy Birthday WV!
