21. I have an appreciation for them.

But I wouldn't say that I am a fan, necessarily.

[Richardo]

8. "But they're like the people chained up in the cave...

...in the allegory of the people in the cave by the Greek guy."

Tell them *I* know their plan. :)

Great, progmom! What a Glamour Profession you have.

[gollygee]

11. Oh cool!

You are a lucky lady! :D

[progmom]

But maybe we can coerce them into doing a medley of their greatest hits.

[unblock]

I got that for my nephew. His dad (my brother) hijacked it and I don't know if Sammy has even heard it yet... :eyes:

[progmom]

[Richardo]

25. Boyeee

They might be something else in the snow...

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

27. They Might Be Losers

Who would have thunk they would be reduced to playing kiddie songs? Not me.

[progmom]

28. Reduced?

Gosh.

This parent, for one, is happy to have an alternative to crappy kids music like Barney and Sharon, Lois & Bram. TMBG, Dan Zanes, etc make me very happy.

[fishwax]

32. I agree. I love their kids music

and I don't even have kids yet. When I do, you can bet the TMBG kids discs will be in heavy rotation. :)

[redqueen]

31. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

x(

[bunkerbuster1]

36. Schmuck.

You should be so lucky as to be "reduced to" the kind of career these gentlemen enjoy.

[WoodrowFan]

33. did they like "Fat Actress"?? (NT)

[On the Road]

34. Oh, Man, That is Wonderful!

Make sure they play "Dr Worm"!

[progmom]

37. UPDATE: They were awesome.

My in laws brought my 3 year-old in for the performance. It was only a few songs, but it was great. They ended the performance with Istanbul/Constantinople. Fun!

[tjdee]

38. My kid LOVES They Might Be Giants! "No!" was so welcome....

I think I may fire off a letter to them someday about how I was not feeling Barney and all the other "kids" songs....and then I heard the "No!" cd. Me and the kid LOVED it.

I've even been able to branch out to other TMBG cds...sooooo thankful to them for creating a cd that my kid likes, which doesn't make me throw up to listen to.

Must go out and get the new one.

[AlienGirl]

39. OMG, you are so lucky!

Can you arrange to bump into them in the hall and tell them AlienGirl loves their music?

Tucker

[progmom]

40. They're gone now.

But my kid got to meet them and now has an autographed CD, DVD and poster! :)

[XNASA]
