I think I'd have had a <em>much</em> better time with you guys than I did with my ex. Mind you, you'd have probably been, what, about twelve at the time? ;-) Aww… I think I’d have had a much better time with you guys than I did with my ex.

I went with my best friend and took loads of videos... I don't have a long history with them but I started listening to them when I heard "alcohol", as it turned out that's an exception and very unlike their other songs. They didn't even play it despite our heckles :( No way!

The early 90s was nearly twenty years ago, though! That <i>is</i> a long time ago! I'm glad you liked the post - I may have to do one for BNL at some point, actually - I have a similarly long history with them, though not as emotive!

You have inspired me to download some TMBG and re-listen to some Barenaked Ladieees. How I have missed them. I saw them at the Guildhall a while ago they were awesome. You make the early 90s sound a lot longer ago than it was! I like what you said about not needing to act sincere because they are sincere - this is something Sage Francis hits on the head. No pretentious extra shit just honest brilliance. Lovely! You have inspired me to download some TMBG and re-listen to some Barenaked Ladieees. How I have missed them.

I figure, if I can't write a music post that gets <i>you</i> engaged, I'm probably an utterly incapable writer! But I have to say, I've always wondered how many <i>other</i> They Might Be Giants fans there might be out there... it's cool to know that there is one, so close! Glad you enjoyed it, sir!

For the music ('cos I'm a fan too), for the personal shit, for the 'Cookie' ref. Nice work. I really liked this post. For the music (‘cos I’m a fan too), for the personal shit, for the ‘Cookie’ ref.
