S4,E14: 8/06/07 (SPECIAL ALL-TALKING - They Might Be Giants and Kelli and Daniel Episode!)

(SPECIAL ALL-TALKING THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS, KELLI, AND DANIEL EPISODE!) Like the "30 Hours in Prospect Park" episode from December 2005, on this episode I tell a story. It's about the band They Might Be Giants and how they have intertwined with my life. The music heard in the show is, as follows, in this order whether in the background of my talking or more prominently featured, unless otherwise noted the songs are all by TMBG: "No Plan B" from the bonus 2nd disc from The Else (Amazon) titled Cast Your Pod to the Wind; "Put Your Hand on the Computer" also from Cast Your Pod to the Wind; "The Theme from Flood" from, well, Flood (iTunes, Amazon); "Empty Bottle Blues" from They Got Lost (eMusic, iTunes, theymightbegiants.com, Amazon); "Dig My Grave", "I Palindrome I", and "Turn Around" all from Apollo 18 (iTunes, Amazon); "King of Wingo" recorded from their Dial-A-Song service (tmbw.net); "Lincoln, Washington & That Jefferson Guy" from McSweeneys #6 (Amazon, tmbw.net); "Dig My Grave" from They Might Be Giants Live in NYC!! - 10/14/94 (tmbw.net); "Mr. Me" from their Other Thing (tmbw.net); "Jessica" from Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) EP (iTunes, Amazon); "Brain Problem Situation" from Cast Your Pod to the Wind (Amazon); "The Famous Polka" from Miscellaneous T (iTunes, theymightbegiants.com, Amazon); "Drinkin'" from Long Tall Weekend (eMusic); "New York City" from Factory Showroom (iTunes, Amazon); "She's An Angel" by Plymouth State University Vocal Order from this free download; "She's An Angel" from They Might Be Giants (iTunes, theymightbegiants.com, Amazon); "Space Suit" and "The Day That Love Came to Play" both from Apollo 18 (iTunes, Amazon); "Louisiana" by John Linnell from the die-cut Montana single (tmbw.net); "The Sun" from Live at Trees in Dallas, TX - 7/18/04 (theymightbegiants.com); "The Other Side of the World" from The Spine Surfs Alone EP (theymightbegiants.com); "We've Got a World That Swings" from S-E-X-X-Y single (Amazon); "Love is Eternity" from Venue Songs (iTunes, theymightbegiants.com); "Siftin'" from the I Palindrome I single (Amazon); "Don't Let's Start" from They Might Be Giants (iTunes, theymightbegiants.com, Amazon); "Be Kind and Gentle" from McSweeneys #6 (Amazon, tmbw.net); "The Rock Show" by Blink 182 as covered by Honeywagon from Grass Stains (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon). The clips of Ira Glass were from Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (Amazon, Netflix), and This American Life: Telephone episode which is also where Flansburgh's clip was from. Linnell's clip was from an episode of NPR's Talk of the Nation. And the 1990 songs I sampled briefly were "Step by Step" by The New Kids on the Block, "I Don't Have the Heart" by James Ingram, "Opposite Attracts" by Paula Abdul, "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette, "Janies Got a Gun" by Aerosmith, and "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer, in case you were wondering, which I can't imagine that you were.
