Ok, the random page thing is determined to pick obscure tracks to start thing off. Here's another one.
Best Of Spin The Dial
Ok, I actually had to go back and listen to it again in order to say anything about it because I'd only heard it once prior to this. I only acquired Unlimited earlier this year so there in a ton of stuff in there I have barely heard. I like this one. It's funny. Honestly, I like anything live, because, as you might suspect, live is how I prefer my TMBG. And since I missed Spin the Dial entirely as a feature, it's nice to have it documented. Flans' improv is pretty hilarious (I especially like the first one and Cultural Paradox) and it impresses me how fast the band picks up the songs.
P.S. If anyone is trying to figure out what to get me for Christmas, I'll gladly accept any and all TMBG show bootlegs ;-P

Hooray, a song I know! I'm really fond of Flansburgh's backwards George Harrison impression. I do my best to work "this is an honest reflection of my personal expression" into daily conversation, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what this is, exactly, and have certainly never heard it. Sounds interesting, though. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a collection of excerpts of the Spin the Dial segments the band used to do at shows. I think the wiki can explain it better than I can. http://tmbw.net/wiki/Spin_The_Dial The ones that are collected in this track are some of the best examples of Flans' instant lyric creation skills.
ReplyDeleteAh, okay. That's sort of what I thought it was, but I wasn't certain. Interesting! :)
