They Might be Giants - “Man, It’s So Loud In Here” (Late Night with Conan O’Brien, 1993)

You have to carry all your things
You can’t misplace them
There’s nowhere to place anything

John Linnell may be the most important Dada poet working today.

In other news, The Johns are playing for free a few blocks from our house tomorrow.1 Guessing the crowd will be insane, but, hey, you can’t deprive your child of her heritage.

Actually, it was 2001 and not 1993 - but outstanding nevertheless.

Mink Car, for me, was the beginning of the end of my obsession with TMBG.  There’s something about that album, and most of what has followed it, that falls in the “not really working for me” category.  I appreciate it and I even really like some songs, but overall I think I’ve just moved on.
