The Technology of They Might Be Giants 75
Brian Heater writes "I recently did a two-part interview with John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants. It might be of interest, as we discussed the role of technology both in terms of their recording and distribution, from Dial-a-Song, to podcasts, to Myspace. Says John: 'All the song writing we do, we'll be working with a computer, just as a recording device, and maybe we'll be working with a program as a music-generating device. That's just the sound-making devices that are there. A lot of times it's good enough, but when you hear it played on a real instrument, it's much more persuasive and exciting. Or conversely, you've have some lumpy, homemade loop that has oodles of charm that you forget to leave on the final version of the song, because it seemed amateurish. Finding the balance is really the key for us. I'm very excited by the time we live in, but I feel like any time in the post-mechanical era would be good for me.'"

Rob Malda got on my nerves.
He slapped my Mom in the Ass.
He shot up my Dad's Station Wagon.
Then he came to my house and typoed my head.

After Eric Raymond smashed my Cock, he slashdotted my head.
Then 5 Gnus smashed my Gut.
My hands were tied.
