They Might Be Giants on Bloomberg

The Johns talk about stuff in April 2015.

[@Davis190]

Did John Flansberd just say meeting JFK must have been a 'mind blower' lmao

[@alpur214]

He did. And it's Flansburgh

[@sheekaloca]

They Might Be Giants kid's albums are like their normal albums, except not as many songs about death.

[@joseppi1121]

Lots of songs about going to sleep

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

No is one of my favorite albums of theirs!

[@mariesyvian8187]

have you HEARD the dial-a-song version of four of two?

[@pandanurse]

Not NO songs about death, just not as many

[@mr.drearygiraffe6005]

i love the text on the bottom it's so funny watching them blow up how Linnell doesn't use spotify

[@elijahlupe]

HOW DO 'THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS' LISTEN TO MUSIC?

[@romanabereneth5683]

This just in! "They might be giants embraced tech early" raises new and disturbing questions.

[@0okamino]

I'm surprised one of the quotes didn't get spun as "They Might Be Giants ventures into forbidden territory with kids."

[@steelingcable6350]

Yeah...

[@SeatonStudios1]

Aww yeah, the Flansbeard is back!

[@MisterAppleEsq]

They Might Be Giants now have a song in a musical with the Spongebob musical.

[@alpur214]

For some reason, I always think of TMBG as Linnell's band; even though he's not necessarily the designated spokesman.

[@ThreadBomb]

Linnell is happy to let Flans do most of the talking, as he is really the motor of the band.

[@Miauwen_]

THE CAPTIONS ARE KILLING ME 💀

[@Kaleidosope_Eyes]

wait ik you from xitter

[@Miauwen_]

@@Kaleidosope_Eyes and perhaps who are you

[@TT-zi7hi]

the failed vodka launches !!

[@daveidmarx8296]

Flansy's humor went clear over the guy's head

[@melanthamorgan4232]

And I thought I was the only one that heard that! LoL

[@henryyancey1117]

bruhh the captions underneath are so annoying “is spotify like the irs” THEY DIDNT SAY THAT

[@somehominid]

Weird how the interviewer just cuts Linnell off about his favorite book. I guess he didn't want to talk about something with the word sex on the show.

[@powerpopaholic876]

somehominid IMO: out of time.

[@samaraisnt]

idk every interviewer I've seen is rude to Linnell and a cut-off is almost mandatory. They treat him like George (or worse, Ringo!) of the Beatles, when they're a duo. He's just quieter, so I guess like George.

[@samaraisnt]

Middlesex has absolutely nothing to do with sex, it's a classic novel that won a Pulitzer Prize. He obviously just didn't care. He let JF talk explain his gossip novel, though. :/

[@snerp9699]

Flansy has aged very well

[@samaraisnt]

They both have!

[@NxDoyle]

There must and shall be a TMBG Broadway musical.

[@AlderDragon]

2:42 what an excellent segue by the interviewer, lol

[@Rave779]

That's strange, I never heard of them winning a grammy for that record at that time. I mostly remember them for back in the 90's for their earlier stuff which was cooler and awesome in a raw sense. But had no clue how really talented and refinely skilled they are as to how they market their skills around. This is a very insightful interview.

[@ThreadBomb]

I saw their two-man show in the early 90s (taken by a friend, and I confess I was not a big fan at the time), and they really rocked! Of course, I was right up in front of the stage. Maybe it was not so good "from a distance".

[@lefthandderivative]

the captions when they were talking about spotify im screaming

[@guycantspell]

"is spotify the irs?" LOL

[@NxDoyle]

I met my wife in their chat room.

[@noko1340]

I'm very curious about the wedding song y'all had

[@roblaaa1845]

​@@noko1340 where your eyes don't go

[@Loogaroo1]

The ticker at the bottom is fucking obnoxious. Pick a lower third and stick with it, don't change it every 8 seconds with a distracting animation each time.

[@MisterAppleEsq]

I agree.

[@francisarsenic9371]

I didn't know that's how Luddite was pronounced

[@onlizinenet]

Super

[@ArtFluids]

I like early "drum machine" TMBG better

[@4darin5]

#MeToo

[@skyblazeeterno]

I like how the 2 guys come across as normal rational and likeable

[@PatrickRob82]

Me too for the most part but c'mon, John Henry was an exceptional album!

[@grrrrarrgh]

I like all TMBG.

[@TheKing0fSting]

Idk I love them both. The earlier music they made is nice because it's raw and simple but also super visionary but their new shit is more seasoned and as a result is still good.

[@AnthonyWilsonLV]

Linnell: fake accordionist.

[@0okamino]

I didn't know he also played the fake accordion. That's amazing!

[@recordcollector0665]

@Tony Wilson get lost moron

[@deanevangelista6359]

I’m a fake harpsichordist.

[@fayta4331]

I know it’s been 7 years, but please explain yourself. What the fuck does this mean
