They Might Be Giants--Good band?
« on: October 08, 2011, 09:40:20 pm »
Anyone else heard of They Might Be Giants? Personally, they're one of my favorite bands. I'm sure little to none of you know about them, they're decently obscure. Their youtube channel is here, if you want to listen to some of their music: http://www.youtube.com/user/ParticleMen. What are your guys' opinion on them?

That statement broke my Hipster-Meter.

But TMBG are pretty good anyway, so I don't mind.

I'm quite familiar with them.  I don't like them.

Problem?

I know little of them, but they seem to have produced only a few songs I like. Skimming other songs has proven to turn up music I don't like.

I start looking around again and I see a Vector pulling troll strings?

Oh man.

This is the first time someone has ever sigged something of mine.

You are a fantastic person.

Rofflol.  When you're playing good cop and I'm playing bad, we all know paradise has locked itself in a handbasket :3

Kidding.  I mostly dislike the music due to associated memories.

Tiny Toons must have be the most underground, obscure cartoon ever made.
