■ They Might Be GiantsThey Might Be Giants (TMBG) is an American alternative rock and children’s band formed in 1982 in Brooklyn, NY, by core members John Flansburgh and John Linnell. Initially a duo, the band expanded in the early 1990s and is known for satirical, offbeat music blending punk, polka, and vaudeville. With 23 studio albums, including their 1986 debut and 1990’s Flood, TMBG wrote the Malcolm in the Middle theme and won a Grammy for “Here Come the 123s”

Despite being delayed for a over a year, that was fun to see TMBG play Flood in Oct 2022: “The other thing is that they decided to play Flood, but in completely random order and out of sequence. Which is fine, as I recently played the album on shuffle mode and it had the same effect. Each song stands on its own, they’re all good. Even so-so song “Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love” had something new to offer. The band played this song backward, in real time. They would play back the video in reverse during the intermission and it sounded pretty good! Even though they jokingly said, all we would hear is “Satan Join Us”. I thought I knew the Flood album from start to finish, so it was also a nice surprise and refreshing to hear a brand-new set of lyrics for “Road Movie to Berlin”, featuring the line about “the king of liars”. It does throw you off to hear something new, and now that I’ve heard it, I wish that was the full song on the record.”
