Review: The weird thing about They Might Be Giants is that, unlike other bands, their "Fans-Only" type releases are often really loose and fun and strangely essential. On their last tour, they wrote, on the fly, a song for every venue and show they played at, and this is a collection of a big chunk of them. Most of them are about a minute long, but there's a few "real" songs in here too (I'm fond of "Vancouver" myself -- if this were to have a single, that'd be the obvious one). It's only available at shows and through their website, but it's totally worth picking up. And the DVD side of it is pretty cool -- dig the awesome video for "Bastard Wants To Hit Me", and John Linnell's goofy video for "I'm All You Can Think About". Definitely worth picking up if you ask me. If you're a fan that's on the fence - YES GET THIS NOW. If you're a newbie to They Might Be Giants wondering whether or not to pick this one up -- eh, you could do worse. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
