I went to a They Might Be Giants gig yesterday :D It was my first TMBG experience and I absolutely loved them. They don’t have the typically boisterous/cocky stage persona I’m used to, but they still have a huge presence on stage, so I found that very interesting to watch, and got a couple ideas for songs just from hearing theirs. They’re very good.
They were promoting their new album “Here Comes Science”, and as such were performing in the New York Hall Of Science in Queens, so after the gig finished (I stole their setlist to give to Tom), we got to explore and learn science things. =D
That evening was spent chilling out playing pool – the highlight of which was when Ed took a mighty stance, commanded “double-team!” and sunk two balls at once – until Ed said he wanted to play us his new album, so that’s what we did. We found an empty ball room type place on the first floor, and Melody, Tom and myself sat in a row and listened to Ed play the whole of his upcoming album, in order, on my guitar. It was fantastic. I think I’ll always associate that album with that night. If I woke up now from a lifelong dream, I’d make sure to write it down; cos I’d like to think that I’ve learned some things … but it’s too late now.
I’ll put up videos from the gig as soon as I get home – the internet here is very slow.

Is Eds album out yet? glad your having fun :)
Excited that he's got a new album coming – I am currently addicted to his EP (and Parrots stories and painfully mainstream too obv :P )
Hope you're having fun in America x
Roy G Biv is one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Our internet is not…THAT…slow. you get used to it after while. XD
I was sad today because of the fact that you weren't in the same country as me any more.
TMBG is SO big in New York for some reason. They're plastered in every NYU newspaper with their own section. I don't think they've ever left the Village.
Hope you enjoy your time in New York :)
Happy that you're having a fun time. Envious of your fun time. Miss you, funhead. <3

“I think I’ll always associate that album with that night.”
That is one of my favourite things about music.
I grew up on They Might Be Giants!!!!!

They were probably a large contributing factor in the nerdifying of my soul. :)
