not from concentrate

So I was sitting around discussing music with a friend of mine (we’ll call him “JB”). When we got to the subject of They Might Be Giants, I discovered he did not like Mink Car, while I consider it very possibly their best album.

The album starts off with Bangs, a glorious tribute to the “proscenium to stage a face that needs no makeup.”

My next favorite song is one that whenever I play it at a party, people are curious as to who it is & are stunned when they discover it’s They Might Be Giants: Man It’s So Loud In Here. This one proves that TMBG can make your booty shake with the best of them. It’s all about turning everything into a night club, including an airport: “Everyone’s excited & confused.”

The last song I will mention here is Another First Kiss.

I hope this gives you a little taste of the awesomeness that is Mink Car by They Might Be Giants. Head to your favorite local music retailer & pick it up, or if you’re feeling a touch lazy, surf on the information super highway over to Amazon

Enjoy!
