Dr. Frank's What's-it

Yay! The Go-Nuts! My wife and I love the song you wrote for them on the second record.

I was very pleased that MTX showed up on my list for S.

Thanks a lot COOP! Thanks for stopping by.

Michele: at the risk of sounding like an ass, I was pleased too...

Writing a song called "Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba" is a good way to ensure that you show up on this list.

talk about coming up with a bizarre playlist...

I would attempt this, but I don't want to even give anyone even an indicaiton of the sick amount of They Might Be Giants material I have on my hard drive. I obsessively collect their stuff, and anything not available on a CD, or a CD that I can find for under $50 or so, ends up on my computer. They would be the winner, but I would so clearly be the loser.

CF

then you have their film without a thought i presume?

...and both children's albums'?

...or just old things?

I put my list up on my blog, with links to mp3s.

http://positiveapeindex.blogspot.com/2005/06/to-z.html

Things old and new. I have the documentary film, the music video collection, both kids' albums, the kids' DVD, all their regular studio albums, a few singles, several live shows from their website... On and on. I'm not one of those that think the last good thing they did was "Flood." I'm a sick bastard. Ha ha.

CF

I still prefer the mixtape.
But I also like mailorder via carrier pigeon.

what about the They Got Lost album? I'm sure that's an of course but i thought i'd make sure.

would you give me a (good?)review(perhaps via email as its totally off topic)of the 2nd kids album? i only have No! but i am tempted.

Hey, a cool thing about this game is noticing the songs that you have in common with other people. Frank, you and I share Vacuum Cleaner by Tintern Abbey, and I share at least one song with each of the two other folks who posted their lists above.

At Least one person is listening to the Go Nuts. With all this child obesity hysteria, our mission is more important than ever.
