Be Sides
Paul, who founded Bulletproof Lincoln (this friday in Arlington!) has told me that he has no love for They Might Be Giants, so I once again found myself creating the TMBG Primer, but with a new angle.
I focused on the more purely rock and roll tracks and looked for stuff that isn’t readily available, unless you’re a raving fanatic like myself.
The following is a track list of Giants song for non-fans, in Song – Album format:
