Well, you have to factor in the money you've thrown down the toilet.

I mean, spent on They Might Be Giants albums.

Rob Instigator · 08.25.2008, 11:41 AM

TMBG albums are CHEAP!

hahahah!

kenney chesney was married to renee squintwigger right?
I heard he swings for the "other" team though.

is he from texas?

demonrail666 · 08.25.2008, 11:42 AM

Haha,

never has one man been so socially hampered for his liking of a single band. I honestly don't think I've ever knowingly heard a They Might be Giants record. I assume it's an ordeal.

atsonicpark · 08.25.2008, 11:48 AM

they might be giants.. all I know is the malcom in the middle song.

SuperCreep · 08.25.2008, 12:11 PM

What are some good surf rock albums to start with? I'm a total n00b to it.

Rob Instigator · 08.25.2008, 12:34 PM

you gotta love art rock nerds from NYC circa 1981-86

The first three TMBG records are classic win forever

self titled
lincoln
flood

I love their deep psycotic depression, just unbelievable nearly pathogenic pessimism.
of course the MUSIC sounds bouyant, melodic, spaztic happy freakout, which creates a perfect dichotomy for my ears.

TMBG were two guys with a drum machine on stage for YEARS, before anyone else pulled it off. and the hipsters hate them cuz they use accordion. you know the hipsters. gotta look cool before everything....

that scene that flicks back and forth between scagged out travolta cruising in the car to the creepy shots of him tying off, and it has that incredible zoned out guitar melody.

anyways, man or astro man is probably the only surf band whos music i am very familiar with, meaning owning mutiple records, and i do love them so.

king_buzzo · 08.25.2008, 03:27 PM

cool.

Cantankerous · 08.25.2008, 03:37 PM

i love it
but only the stuff from the 60s and man or astroman.

To me they're like the epitome of everything shit and wrong with anything that dares calling itself ''alternative music''. To Rob Instigator, apparently, they are something to treasure while having a go at bands and styles that piss all over them quicker than you can say ''good taste''.

OK, i just searched them on youtube. Oh, they did Birdhouse. Jesus Christ. I'm sort of lost for words really. Fuck.

So I'll provide a link....

It's no wonder Guitar Player magazine called the Raybeats' GUITAR BEAT "one of the ten best instrumental albums of all time." A supercombo with members of the B-52's (Pat Irwin), the Golden Palominos (Jody Harris), and Los Straitjackets (Danny Amis), the Raybeats formed out of the ashes of legendary New York no-wavers the Contortions. During the early 80's they were one of the most popular touring bands on the underground rock scene. Their music blended the best of instrumental pop music: surf rock, lounge and Stax/Volt soul together with the experimental no-wave sound of downtown NYC. Bar/None is proud to release GUITAR BEAT for the first time on Compact Disc, complete with extra tracks, rare vintage photos, new liner notes, memorabilia and more!

How the hell have I never heard of this before?

dionysusundone · 08.25.2008, 07:58 PM

Oh and TMBG suck. Big time. I didn't even know they did that Malcom in the Middle song. Makes me hate them even more.

atsonicpark · 08.26.2008, 12:08 AM

THE DEATH POWDERS, the new surf project I'm going to do, I want it to be really really dark surf. Any tips on getting a dark sound? Like a certain tuning that would be really dark but not sound like nonsense when I play fast?
