Four years ago, on my 19th birthday, I had the opportunity to see TMBG in
Kansas City, Missouri.  They played a charming concert in spite of the
lack of a backup band by using crazy stage props like a very big fez
and old-fashioned telephones.  After seeing them this summer in NYC,
I can only say they've gotten better.  Although I must say I missed the
props.

I think the title of the song requested in Kansas City was the theme song
to some cheezy 1950s science TV show for kids, but I can't remember exactly
what it was (The theme to Mr. Science, perhaps?  Does anyone know?).  I only
remember the first
line of the song: 

"The sun is a mass of incandescent gas..."
blah blah blah.

After singing a few verses, they started ad libbing:

"The sun is made out of : 
<bang> hydrogen
<bang> helium
<bang> carbon
<bang, pause> <low voice> Nutrasweet."


I'm sure that most of the humor is lost because it is written.  But the timing
was absolutely perfect.  It had the entire audience rolling on the floor,
in tears, because they were laughing so hard.


May TMBG live forever.

John Linnell, the skinny one, has always been shy.  He's a real 
friendly guy, though.  The stress of touring probably wears him 
down more than it wears on Flansburgh.  My brother went to a show 
of theirs a few years back and told me that Linnell would have to 
take breaks to catch his breath quite often.  Their stage performance 
can be quite tiring.

Flansburgh has always been the more outgoing one, and has been more 
like the leader and organizer as long as they've been together.

I always thought that Particle Man was about how screwed up mankind is.  Particle
Man is a reference to the atomic bomb; Triangle Man is God (the trinity); Universe Man
is (obviously) the Universe; and Person Man is mankind.  Or something like that.

But then again, what the heck are we doing trying to read anything into TMBG's songs??
Wouldn't they be ashamed?  (:

"The Bobs"
"Songs for Saturday Morning"
"My, I'm Large"
"The Bobs Sing the Songs of..."  <- a collection of really whacked-out covers

Only if you think it's stupid not to know that every marsupial is a mammal.
Even when the lyrics tell you so:

	"Placental the sister of her brother Marsupial
	 Their cousin called Monotreme, dead uncle Allotheria..."

These are all subclassifications of mammals.  I don't know the exact

  Funny, I always thought Particle Man was about mankind and personalities
of people.  It is done in a campy way, like those old childrens books.
Remember them?  Mr. Triangle, Mr. Happy, Mr. Lumpy, etc.  Well, notice
Triangle Man only picks on people he knows he can beat (typical bully).
He does not fight with Universe Man, he's too powerful.  Person man is a
mess, as seems to be most of our society today.  Universe man has a big
ego ("usu. kind to smaller man").  On the whole, I think it's about
human nature.

The term B-sides refers to songs off of a single, not lps.

So if you take the CDingle "I Palindrome I"  (which I know is not pre-Flood,
  but happens to be sitting right next to  me)  the B-sides are Cabbagetown,
  Siftin', and Larger Than Life.

I hate it when arguments are based soley on misunderstanding. :(

	Neat thing at New Haven TMBG concert ca 3 months ago:  while
playing "Whistling in the Dark," all the stage lights went out.  I
thought that this was just some staging gag as the band continued to
play throughout the song.  However, it was not so...the band called
for the lights to be turned on without success & they were forced to
play their next two or three songs w/o lighting....

I like Mattacks' drumming on _Nonsvch_, but I still think I prefer
Peter Phipps, drummer on _Mummer_ and _The Big Express_.  And I don't
really see the XTC connection, except for the "quirky" label.
Although both XTC and TMBG can write, at times, perfect pop songs with
memorable hooks.  For example, "Birdhouse in Your Soul", "Ana Ng",
"The Statue Got Me High", etc.

mentioned XTC as a comparison.
	Other TMBG influences:

	Sparks (Brother duo from the 70's that were big in England. Basically

       I will leave and I'll return
       Oh Cabbagetown

       I talked to my old grand-dad as he fell into the sea
       He said time and tide are one thing that no one understands
       I talked to my uncle Jack as he tried to talk to me
       With a bottle in one hand and another in the other

       (Chorus)

       Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

       (Chorus)

Is that what you wrote?  You'd think they would at least say thanks.
