Today's song is...
Atlanta
The analogy "the songs we play are the hospital bill, you pay with your applause" is so cool it blows my mind a little. Actually, the whole music venue/hospital analogy in the song is pretty clever and quite well expressed in the lyrics, but that line in particular is my favorite. Looking forward to hearing this one again in April :-)

Ice Cream And Rock N Roll
March 8, 2012 - Calvin Theater - Northampton, MA
No show in Northampton is complete without a stop at Herrell's for ice cream. We went in shifts, holding the line for everyone else and gradually filling the trash can outside the Calvin with the evidence of TMBG fans love for ice cream.
I think I have watched every show I have seen at the Calvin from almost the exact same spot so I have this permanent vision of the stage from the right hand side. My concert buddy for this show was Miss Ella of Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child fame. Some of the most engaging pre-show conversation I have had, discussing the virtues of dragons over unicorns when it comes to superior magical creatures. What a seriously cool young lady :-)
JoCo setlist: Code Monkey - Sticking It To Myself - Big Bad World One - Still Alive - Je Suis Rick Springfield - I'm Your Moon - Shop Vac - Re: Your Brains - I Feel Fantastic
TMBG setlist: When Will You Die - Celebration - Birdhouse In Your Soul - Judy Is Your Viet Nam - Damn Good Times - Never Knew Love - The Guitar - Battle for the Planet of the Apes - Older - Old Pine Box - Snowball in Hell - Mr. Me - Ana Ng - S-E-X-X-Y - Careful What You Pack - Paranoid - Pandor Jingle - Spoiler Alert - Cloisonné - Withered Hope - We Live In A Dump - James K. Polk - The Mesopotamians - Fingertips Encore - How Can I Sing Like A Girl? - Can't Keep Johnny Down Encore 2 - Where Your Eyes Don't Go - Istanbul
Now, I have a confession to make. I remember virtually nothing from this show. Or nothing out of the ordinary. I have vague memories of making zombie noises in Re: Your Brains. I can remember chanting during the Battle for the Planet of the Apes. I kind of feel like my side lost. I think the Supreme Court made another appearance during the Avatars set. I know from the one video I could find that Linnell nicknamed someone Liquid Plumber, which I thought was one of the funnier nicknames I had heard. And that his band introduction featured him playing the keyboard with his elbows.
I was very excited to see Dan in his gray hat again. He wore it a lot when I was first was going to shows at LPR, but I hadn't seen it in years. It was very nostalgic.
My friends and I got it in our heads to attempt to execute the wave during When Will You Die. Since we pretty much completely took over the front row, the idea was for it to start on one end, sweep down to the other and then go back, at the point in the song where Flans yells "Kid Rock!" It didn't go that smoothly in this first attempt. But it was good practice. (Note: yes, we really are that goofy.)
I hope these pictures make up for my lack of actual show memories. And please, if you remember more than I, remind me in the comments. My amnesia where this run of shows is related is really frustrating!

Song of the Day - Day 830
Today's song is...
Hive Mind
Have you noticed that the very shorts songs on Nanobots (like this one) are available in their entirety in the song previews available on the German iTunes and Amazon? Cause they are. This one is so short, it is barely a song. And I am really curious what made them say, we _need_ to put this on the album. I hope someone asks them at some point.

Song of the Day - Day 829
Today's song is...
Cupid
My first thought on hearing this song was that it is really violent. Poor Cupid. My second thought was that there was an interesting drum machine thing going on it the background that I wish I could hear better on the recording. And my final thought was that this is the very last Dial-A-Song only recording in Song Of The Day.

Song of the Day - Day 828
Today's song is...
Crazy Train
This is totally cheating, I know. But I included Free Ride based on the number of times I had heard it live and so it felt wrong to skip this one, for the same reason. I gotta admit, I thought it was pretty damn cool when the boys broke into their instrumental version of Crazy Train for the first time in New Haven a couple of years ago. I may not know anything about heavy metal at all, but even I know Crazy Train (though I could not remember the name initially, when they first started playing). By far, my favorite memory associated with Crazy Train though, is the totally awesome all-bass cover of it that Danny performed at a few shows in the fall of 2011 while Dan was absent. I was super impressed.
This video taken by yours truly, though possessing of terrible sound quality, shows one of those performances (as well as Danny playing Spoiler Alert on the keyboard which was also cool). My camera was never great for video but I wanted to document it, so it wasn't lost and forgotten forever.

We'll Meet At The End Of The Tour
February 17, 2012 - Rams Head Live - Baltimore, MD
The Rams Head is one of those venues with an early entrance deal. For $10 you can get in to the bar two hours early and be the first ones into the show. The added bonus is that you get to hear the band do soundcheck. We received some misinformation that the passes to be able to do this would be available at the venue at 10am so we all rushed there early in the morning from Charlottesville. Except it turned out they weren't available until hours later. Whoops. At least we had plenty of time to wander around the harbor and get lunch. And I got to see the coolest (at least architecturally speaking) Barnes & Noble I have ever seen. They had a fish tank! Jealous!
I've gotta say, the Rams Head has probably the best system for doing early entry and a line that I have encountered at any venue. As you go into the bar, they give you a little tag with a number on it. And then when you line up to actually enter the venue, they line you up by number. Thus ensuring that everyone can disperse around the bar, buy drinks and enjoy themselves without having any fights about who was there first when it comes to lining up. I wish other venues would learn from this example.
This is quite possibly the only time that the soundcheck has eclipsed the actual show on the coolness factor. Apparently, Flans had not yet shown up when they started soundcheck, so Linnell was just doodling through songs as he pleased with the boys following his lead. This resulted in a soundcheck that consisted of Wearing a Raincoat, Destination Moon, Spiraling Shape and The End of the Tour (plus one of the Join Us songs, once Flans finally arrived...Johnny maybe?). Holy shit. I had never even heard Wearing a Raincoat or Destination Moon live. And I've only ever heard Spiraling Shape and The End of the Tour once each. I was beside myself with excitement. I desperately wish they would incorporate some of these songs into the regular set. Maybe Wearing a Raincoat isn't one of my favorites but the other three are all in my Top 50. Best. Soundcheck. Ever. And I'm pretty sure the band never even knew we were all there to hear it. (We were literally hiding behind a curtain that was drawn between the bar and the main room.)
I think it would have been hard for any show to live up to that soundcheck in my mind, and in my opinion this wasn't one of the best of the trip. Part of that was my own personal experience. I got stuck so far down the end of the stage I was watching from behind Dan's guitar stands. Not a great view. Also not great sound as I was oddly positioned near a speaker.
Corn Mo opened this show, since JoCo had had to get home for the cruise. I have seen him a few times now. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but he's not really my favorite. No offense to anyone who does enjoy him or to the man himself. He is definitely a dynamic performer. Just not my style, I guess.
TMBG setlist: When Will You Die - Celebration - Birdhouse In Your Soul - Judy Is Your Viet Nam - Damn Good Times - Never Knew Love - The Guitar - Battle for the Planet of the Apes - Old Pine Box - Cowtown - Snowball in Hell - Mr. Me - Ana Ng - S-E-X-X-Y - Careful What You Pack - Pandor Jingle - Paranoid - Spoiler Alert - Cloisonné - Withered Hope - We Live In A Dump - James K. Polk - The Mesopotamians - Fingertips Encore - How Can I Sing Like A Girl? - Can't Keep Johnny Down Encore 2 - Where Your Eyes Don't Go - Istanbul
I didn't feel like the energy level in the band was as high as it was at the previous shows. But then as Flans said at the start, they had been out doing a long run of shows and were excited about being able to go home. Perhaps like myself, they were experiencing a bit of "end-of-the-tour-itis." But it picked up over the course of the show, with a solid run of really lively songs to kick things off.
Linnell compared the Rams Head to the HBO series Oz. He said he felt like his life was that show, he just needed to see more tattoos in the room and the parallel would be complete. Flans said he was only in the middle of season two and not to spoil it for him.
Flans plugged Join Us and Linnell said if you could find a copy that _wasn't_ signed by them it was worth more. Then then got a little confused introducing Never Knew Love and Linnell suggested that the instructions of what to do next were probably tattooed all over him (keeping with the Oz references).
Maybe it was just me, but the division of the crowd and delivery of instructions for the Battle for the Planet of the Apes, seemed to take longer than usual. There was some debate over how to deal with the balcony. In the end, the battle was declared a tie.
The Johns discussed Cowtown being their oldest song. They joked that it was written by the original members of They Might Be Giants. "The ones you liked." But that they had be taught how to play it exactly like them. They claimed they were just one of many touring troupes of the band.
Highlights of the Avatar Snowball bridge: Joe getting creeped out by Paul watching him and telling him he was going to slowly walk away, and Paul responding that he was going to watch him walk away. Paul also commented on all of Joe's nice things in his house and said he didn't have things, or even really live anyway. "Seems like you live outside my house, Paul," said Joe. "I don't have a life, Joe." Then Paul suddenly added the "time is money kick line" and startled Joe. Joe proceeded off on this rambling monologue about watching calendar pages fly out the window and eventually said, "Is it mentally ill in here or is it just me?"
After Mr. Me, Linnell commented on the fact that the Avatars live in a suitcase and how much that must suck. I would imagine, yes.
The Avatars did their plug for Pandor, but it was rather brief. Just fulfilling their contractual obligations. Then they dropped into stage whispers to talk about the diva trips They Might Be Giants were having back stage, making everyone clear the halls when they walked by because they didn't want anyone to look at them. Blue explained that they were only supposed to perform one TMBG song, but they only really liked the old songs and their real roots were in heavy metal. "It's like a total contradiction." He said one of the things they declared when they formed the Avatars was "no compromising." "And now look, we're traveling the world in a blue suitcase. Opening for a bunch of old, (*bunch of semi-derogitory names I didn't understand, but that implied the Giants were squares*). It fucking sucks." And they broke into Paranoid. Then there was an appearance by the Supreme Court. Green asked them why their heads were all folded over. They said it was because they had taken all the Pandor and began complimenting the Avatars. "By a nine to zero decision, we find you awesome!" The Avatars worked a tiny bit of the Pandor Jingle into the end of Spoiler Alert too.
Linnell chose to sit down on the drum riser to play the bass clarinet on Cloisonné. This kind of freaked Flansburgh out because he thought Linnell was sick and he had the crew bring a stool on stage for him to sit on. Except it turned out that Linnell had just forgotten the neck strap for the clarinet back stage and it was easier to play without it while sitting down. (He actually explained later that there were certain notes on the bass clarinet, that when you play them without the neck strap, the clarinet falls to the floor. Flans said this was why the instrument was an endangered species.) But since there was now a stool on stage, Danny took advantage of it later, sitting down to play. Which Dan then teased him about. Heeheehee.
The Johns made some humorous observations about the people filming video in the front row, wondering if they were actually having a good time or recording it so they could have a good time later. Then Linnell also commented on how odd it is when the theater is completely dark expect for a single person's face illuminated by their phone as they text.
Linnell to Dan before the guitar solo in Polk: "Dan Miller, you're thoughts?" Then after the solo, "thank you, Dan."
Linnell relayed a story that Dan Levine had told them about playing with Frank Sinatra. Apparently, Frank fell during a show and hit his head, and while he was still lying on the ground, half the orchestra was on their phones already looking for a new job. This story seemed to fall a little flat, and Linnell pointed out that it was a story about the music business, implying perhaps that it was funnier if you were a musician. Flans also told a story about Dan Levine. Apparently, he survived a small plane crash with Ray Charles in Europe. He said that the Rayettes could scream louder than you could ever imagine. "But no one was injured," added Flans.
They once again did the 123 band intro without actually introducing the members of the band. Everyone just took a little solo. The Johns delivered some nicknames to members of the audience. Jo-Jo Dancer, Rolf Dunger and The Decline of the West. This last came after an exclamation from Linnell of such emotion and feeling as the nickname hit him, that it was hard to tell if it was agony or ecstasy. (This actually cracked me up, because it sounded so inappropriate and ridiculous).
When the Johns returned for the first encore, Flansburgh made a terrible attempt at making a Jeremy Lin joke with Linnell's name. Even he admitted it wasn't a good effort. Linnell said they needed to work on it for when they came back "out of the box" in March.
Istanbul featured the customary fake endings but no intro. Time to wrap things up and go home.
I really like this picture, not because it is a great picture, because it isn't, but because it has all five of the guys in it, which pretty much never happens in my pictures.
I have to add too, that later, outside the venue, I witnessed Mr. Brunette being chased down the sidewalk by a seriously drunk girl in a TMBG hoodie. Not exactly the type of thing I would expect from a Giants concert, but I was amused.
The Rams Head is one of those venues with an early entrance deal. For $10 you can get in to the bar two hours early and be the first ones into the show.

Polk - The Mesopotamians - Fingertips Encore - How Can I Sing Like A Girl? - Can't Keep Johnny Down Encore 2 - Where Your Eyes Don't Go - Istanbul

Song of the Day - Day 827
Today's song is...
Now I Know
I enjoy the lyrics of this one. Very quintessentially Linnell. The verse about standing corrected is my favorite. There are a whole slew of Linnell songs that I feel like could in theory be sung by the same, slightly off-his-rocker, narrator. A little nuts. A little OCD. Actually, that idea really makes me want to go create a playlist of those songs. Hmmmmm :-)
