Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

shit, totp
let's get some relatively not-so-much-different solo work up in here
When you're following an angel
Does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Calling you an angel, calling you the nicest things
I heard they had a space program
When they sing you can't hear, there's no air
Sometimes I think I kind of like that and
Other times I think I'm already there
State Songs is so good
argh I can't find a good youtube of Maine
and then I was gonna say "how about some john flansburg solo stuff instead" but I also can't find a good youtube of Backstabbing Liar

I remember in freshman year of high school, pepsi was having a promotion with apple where something like 1 in every 3 pepsi bottlecaps had a code that let you download a free song from iTunes
Our school had pepsi vending machines, so me and a friend went digging through all the trash cans at the end of every school day to get free music
I ended up with enough bottlecaps to get the entire TMBG discography up to The Spine for free
about a week after the promotion ended I learned that most people just used limewire when they wanted music but didn't want to pay for it

You had iTunes when you were a freshman in highschool!!!!??
so yes
it was still relatively new though?!
If I remember right there was a commercial for the contest that was really weird
it had that young girl that got sued by the RIAA, or at least an actor playing her or something, talking about how now thanks to PEPSICOLA CO she could totally stick it to the man and download all the free music she wanted

The best thing is that the Sun song is actually a re-write to update it to correct science. They had a song called "The Sun is a mass of incandescent Gas" and realized they were wrong.
Also Join Us is great, When Will You Die is my favorite.
it's still good though!

i knew this forum would come through for me and have a TMBG thread. i reeeally really like Join Us- probably a little bit more than the else, but i've been going back through their other records recently and forgot how many awesome songs are on that record

And I've often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And that's be you
Do what you like
be like yourself
And so I'm having a wonderful time
But I'd rather be Whistling in the Dark
TMBG was one of the first CDs I think I've owned (was never a big CD buying guy) I might have to get this.
Check out my toy Review blog: The Plastic Vault
Flannsburg kind of drowns Linnell out for most of the song though

I have not, although I very much wish too. To the Internet!

Oh god, my joy coffers. They overflow.
Well, it was changed to Istanbul because, given how prevalent Constantinople was at the time, people often referred to it simply as "the city." A common way to reference something happening in Constantinople was to reference it as happening "in the city."
The Greek phrase for "in the city," as far as the phonemes go, sounds like "Istanbul" (if you soften up the consonants a bit). Eis ten polis
Basically, people in Constantinople simply started referring to Constantinople the way local Greeks did.

Plus, people just liked it better that way.
my favorite part of this is Linnell shouting "What the hell" twice in the background.
Hoping to make it to their show here in Ithaca this September!
I just listened to the album with headphones for the first time. Spoiler Alert is actually two completely different songs. Linnell in the right and Flansy in the left.
Oh.
That explains a lot. I'll be right back.
the whole two narratives thing is rather neat
E: very slightly NSFW
I like it

I drank way too much free beer... John Flansburgh is a super nice person.
So jealous.

Flagrant. Hey. Uh. You come here often? :winky:
Was the redhead your friend or just some actor.
Also helped that he's kind of a big dude. I was really happy to see all of that jiggling in slow motion.
also I just love how banal and dumb the reason is for the character's mental breakdown. It fits the song well!
