| The only time I ever heard TMBG was when they played on Conan and it was fucking hilarious. It was just a keyboardist and a vocalist and the singer had some kind of robot effect on his voice and he was talking smack on the crowd. Where's a good record to start with these guys? |

I wonder if Frank will include the verse from "Road Movie" that was cut out of the Flood version. TMBG usually plays it when they do the song live.
Heywood (if that IS your real name), the performance you saw was probably when they did a medley of "Robot Parade" and "Shoehorn With Teeth." The keyboardist was John Linnell. John Flansburgh usually plays guitar, but there's no guitar part on those songs, so he was just singing.
As for where to start, shouldn't you be asking that on the General Chat thread devoted to that subject? :P Seriously, though, everyone seems to enjoy Flood, so that wouldn't be a bad place to start. If you're of the slightly nerdier sort, you might want to try Apollo 18.

Taken from a posting on that myspace blog devoted to this album:
---Oh, and Frank Black has recorded "Road Movie To berlin" for us... with an interesting surprise for everybody. But, I'M certainly not going to spoil it for everybody.---
So, perhaps he did include the extra verse? I'm not sure what other interesting surprises there could be...maybe it's something about who he played it with?
C'mon, someone speculate!
Nothing is ever something. |

| Well, it might not be Courtney Love, but (according to the myspace page) it is someone named Molly McGuire. But the label's distribution stilled isn't firmed up just yet, so there's no official erlease date- THIS IS KILLING ME. |

Molly has recently collaborated on recordings with Frank Black....
The Frank Black session was with friend Bryan Brown on drums and was a cover song for a "They Might Be Giants" tribute record. The track is called "Road Movie to Berlin" and will be released sometime in 2006. Molly was called in to play bass on the song, but ended up singing the entire song with Frank as a duet. More info on that release coming soon.
And for those who want to see her,
i know i sure do:

Vilainde, the only release date I know of is sometime in 2006. |

Abour TMBG, is The Spine good?
Listening to Mink Car has been such a traumatic experience.
Even worse than Ween's White Pepper. |

They're very polished albums. I think that's shocking to most TMBG fans. TMBG has always been very thorough in their song writing/recording, but their last two albums have just been very glossy. I'm still adjusting, but I love the albums just the same. And how could you not like White Pepper, Grotesque? I listened to it again this morning (I saw Ween last night for the first time and it blew my mind) and W.P. is a very solid album. As a musician, I can really appreciate where they pushed their sound to on WP, and then to Quebec. They also played a couple new songs last night, so I think the folks will be pleased with their new album when it comes out. This is a bit of a digression. Sorry.

Ok, I admit I must have listened to white pepper a hundred time just to verify if it's so bad or not, so I must like it after all.
But it's not so lofi or weird anymore, it could be on a list along with Captain Beefheart's Bluejeans and Moonbeans or The Butthole Surfers Independant Worm Salloon. I just think weird music is not just an adolescent crisis consequence but a style in itself, that helps cut all the crappy big sound. Even the beatles where lofi: they did it all with at most a four track!
Well, it's far from Frank Black, sorry for mixing the subjects.
Frank Black, by the way, never made me that impression, and I don't understand people who found honeycomb sounding like anybody. I recognize hime in every second, wich is not the case with TMBG's Mink Car. The melodies are slower and weeker, no? Where is the adrenalin?
Just count the notes and you'll see (ho ho ho).

Mink Car is probably my least favorite of TMBG's studio albums, but it still sounds like TMBG. Really, though, artists like TMBG and Frank don't really seem to have very many limits on what kind of music they'll make.
