Thoughts on the (Petrojvic) Blasting Company

Community icontmbl@lemmy.world by

Have any of you guys heard of the Blasting Company/Petrojvic Blasting Company before? I find them TMBG-like in the sense that they have often dark, bizarre lyrics and play with accordions and horns, albeit in more of a folk/swing revival-esque way.

Do you have any TMBG songs where you like another variant over the album version?

Community icontmbl@lemmy.world by

I have several songs where I think they could have done better on the album version.

What is your favorite State song?

Community icontmbl@lemmy.world by

I like both “Maine” and “Louisiana”. “Maine” has John’s classic unreliable, evil narrator, while “Louisiana” just feels like a fun take on a hostage situation.

Thoughts on Cheekface

Do any of you guys listen to the band Cheekface? I like them a decent amount (not as much as TMBG, though).

Most oddly specific TMBG song you have seen a non-fan like

Community icontmbl@lemmy.world by

I had a bizarre experience once where I was telling a friend I like the band, and of all the songs he could have known from the band, he only knew (and really liked) “Let’s Get This Over With”. I love that song, but I find it funny it’s not one of their kids albums or Birdhouse in Your Soul.

What are your favorite demos/bootlegs?

Community icontmbl@lemmy.world by

Some of my favorites: - Snapping Turtles (Bangs Demo) - I like the lyrics better than album. - Man It’s So Loud in Here (Demo 1) - I prefer this arrangement over album. - Half a Boy - I’m a little mad this one was never on an album. It deserved a spot in Misc T or Then at least. - We Just Go Nuts at Christmastime - Pleasantly depressing.

Hot Take: Long Tall Weekend is an underrated album.

Community icontmbl@lemmy.world by

I feel like it is often called one of the band’s worst albums despite it having a lot of good songs: Certain People I Could Name, Reprehensible, and Counterfeit Faker.

Which song did you buy the Istanbul (Not Constantinople) EP for?

Also, hi. It’s been a while. I usually neglect this community, as I’m more active on TMBW Discord, but I like to post something every once in a while in case a BG fan stumbles onto Lemmy.

John Linnel, with combdage and visor, responds, "And I'm 'a dozen, a hundred, it's impossible to tell.'" Finally, a caption at the bottom says, "The Star Trek Time Loop Meme Brothers".

Got a copy of S-E-X-X-Y recently

Community icontmbl@lemmy.world by
A picture of my pristine copy of S-E-X-X-Y EP by They Might Be Giants.

Someone was selling a bit from their collection off the TMBW Discord. I’d been wanting “We’ve Got a World That Swings” and “Sensurround” for quite some time, so I snapped it. It came with the hype sticker, so I took a scan of it. It was a bit beat up, so after some post-processing, I intend to upload it to the wiki along with the inner box art, which the wiki is missing.

How do you guys protect your FLP case singles?

A picture of my pristine copy of S-E-X-X-Y EP by They Might Be Giants.

I recently got a rather pristine copy of They Might Be Giants’ 1996 single S-E-X-X-Y, mostly for a few bonus tracks unavailable on streaming. Like, it was in shrink wrap with hype sticker, albeit shrink wrap on its last legs - good enough that the rest of it was still in near mint condition, but too damaged for it to be worth keeping on, so I took a 2400 DPI scan of the hype sticker and removed it. Don’t worry - I kept the hype sticker.

reply to: Hear me out... in TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world

Technically, Fandom is MediaWiki, just used for its evil aims.

Since Trek is nearing a big lull in activity in the next year or two, I think that might be the optimal time to start up a Memory Alpha fork.

He’s using the magic he knows. He’s believing.

Spock from Star Trek: The Animated Series has his arms stretched forward, with rainbows around his hands. Caption: "Imagination"

Honestly, I wouldn’t be mad if we got a The Magicks of Megas-tu prequel even if it breaks a bunch of canon and they use a convenient memory wipe to solve all the problems, mostly because it would involve TAS getting any canon recognition whatsoever.
