Comments for They Might Be Giants, Miscellaneous t

Great as always, but an annoyingly high number of tracks are re-mixes of some of their older songs, not always for the better. Still worth it for all the new songs, though.

What do you think, what do you make out of that recording I don't know, Gloria, I just don't know Some kind of singing They sound like all kinds of people, right? Yeah And then it says that another child is born in India every time you call this number, right Yeah, right Does that make any sense to you? No, it doesn't don't make no sense at all.

the remix of son-of-god is the best thing they've ever released

lots of remixes, if you're into that. the new songs are great, particularly 'hey mr. dj' and 'nightgown of the sullen moon'... to my mind, the most "tmbg-ish" of their full-length albums.

Of all TMBG''s albums, I think that Misc-T is rather poor. It''s interesting to have these songs, but these are all flip- side recordings. Why do you think that they were flip-side in the first place? Because they weren''t good enough to be on side A! And they weren''t good enough to go on a real album. I think that these songs lack the "spunk" that the other songs do.
