They Might Be Giants is a TEAM!
23 May 09
Inspired by Seattle’s own They Might Be Giants pictured above, Brooklyn’s Original TMBG are sponsoring teams with a free shirt give away for the kids. Read the WHOLE story here:http://www.tmbg.com/littleleague/FROM AOLhttp://www.spinner.com/2009/05/22/they-might-be-giants-sponsoring-little-league-teams/“From ‘Jock Jams’ to Shaq’s rap albums to Eddie Vedder cursing last year’s Chicago Cubs season, the worlds of sports and music frequently overlap and often disappoint. But that was before They Might Be Giants decided to do something positive and sponsor Little League baseball teams.”LINK TO THE GOTHAMIST STORYhttp://gothamist.com/2009/05/22/they_might_be_giants_now_sponsoring.php

Things we can no longer say | The List According to Marty Beller
13 May 09
This is “The List According to Marty Beller” Some of these are historic, some more recent, some contributed by other band members and Pat Dillett.
Â
These are all things we are not allowed to say within the band:
Â
too much information
off the hook
that’s what (s)he said
my bad
game changer
crackberry
that’s how we roll
I can’t work under these conditions
playing the (whatever) card
throw under the bus
drinking the kool-aid
LOL
phone tag
don’t go there
it’s all good
it is what it is
talk to the hand
think outside the box
off the reservation
oh no you didn’t
I threw up a little in my mouth
one hundred and ten percent
IMHO
no worries*
jumped the shark
voted off the island
(anything) on acid
(anything) from hell
(anything) on steroids
literally (unless it’s actually used properly)
Â
Of course the list itself is now on the list.
*No worries enjoys a unique “workplace dispensation” where it can be Â
used with a co-worker to help decompress a work situation.
