I got to do the Summer Artist Spotlight on WBNY this past Friday, which I completely forgot to plug. Bad me. But I got to play three, count 'em, three hours of They Might Be Giants goodness. (And I got to complain that the Spine Tour is not coming anywhere near Buffalo at the moment. Grumble.)
So I'm going to torture you all with my setlist. But it will be LJ-Cut so it doesn't completely scroll everyone's screen. :)

All of the show was done with two CD-rom drives as I was under the mistaken impression the third one was broken. It wasn't. Made for some interesting juggling, to be sure. And a lot of stretching to cue up the next song as I was talking. But a lot of fun!

P.S. New TMBG album "The Spine" being released TOMMORROW! Guess what I'm picking up as soon as I get paid.... Hm. Mebbe I'll get a new T-shirt, too. Or Linnell's State Songs, as I wound up borrowing
