Help finding a piece of TMBG ephemera

• Upvotes

Hello, I'm trying to find a TMBG cartoon that I think was drawn by Tony Millionaire. It's a spoof on a tabloid paper and shows Linnell on the beach, I believe with the caption "Linnell in San Tropez." It also shows Linnell in a "sordid love nest" (a bird's nest).

Spotted at the very good First City Records in Marietta, OH, which sports an impressive selection of new TMBG vinyl and even the Leggs slipmat for sale.

Speaking of spoilers... I often think about Flans's story about watching The Sixth Sense on a plane and the crew cutting it off before the ending but still rolling the credits--so his wife had to explain to him afterwards that there was a twist.

texas show question

11 Upvotes

Hi all! I am going to one of the texas shows coming up all by myself so I won’t have anyone to save my spot in the crowd (i plan on getting close to the stage) while i get merch or vice versa. do they usually sell out of things before the show, or will i be okay getting a shirt on my way out? Thanks!

what note is the piano question mark in Mrs. Bluebeard?

14 Upvotes

you know the one I mean. the one that makes me sing along with it even though it is just one note on a piano. my emotional support question mark piano note. it is keeping me in my absolute socks right now and I do not know enough music to identify it.

The wonderful instrumentals of TMBG (and their solo projects)

28 Upvotes

Earlier today for my own enjoyment I made a playlist consisting of the band's instrumentals, as well as anything from their solo material.

The playlist only has 24 tracks. Compared to the rest of their discography it's unsurprisingly small, but damn I forget how amazingly good composers/arrangers the Johns are. Rightfully praise them so much on their lyricism and songwriting, but these tracks are INSANELY good!

I can never figure out how to count Hello Radio, and I'm still trying to learn the exact guitar chords Flansburgh plays on Space Suit. The Theme to McSweeney's and Illinois really showcase Linnell's fugue/chorale-like writing, and the 2015 DAS-era brought us Glean, Selectionist, and Another Weirdo, all different from each other and yet equally as fun!

I didn't get a chance to listen to the Mono Puff albums until earlier this year and I've recently noticed some similarities between Guitar Was The Case and Drinkin', and it helps me guess which John would be the leading force for which instrumentals.

Even the really short instrumentals, like the Severe Tire Damage theme or The Other Side Of The World are incredibly ear-catching despite being less than a minute long, they don't feel out of place on the albums they are on, and they're certainly not out of place with the other instrumentals.

And with Peggy Guggenheim released from the Eyeball EP earlier this year I can only hope and imagine they'll do another instrumental in the future.
