Found (circa 2007): TMBG at TED

Posted by admin in ideas, Music, nonfiction, streaming video on January 20, 2011

The other day I realized how much fun I have just linking to videos here at the blog. To think that I can embed video from TED, the nonprofit entity “devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading”. And one morning in 2007, in the early morning no less, one of my favorite bands, They Might Be Giants, appeared at TED. And now I get to share it with you.

Bonus detail: TED offers subtitles with these videos, which is always great with TMBG songs. At the nine-minute mark, they do one of my favorite songs (several songs in one song actually), Fingertips.

Things I Almost Missed from December: TMBG on Ferguson

Posted by admin in late night TV, Music on January 7, 2010

So, I’m finally catching up on some missed Craig Ferguson episodes that were still residing on my Tivo list. Back in mid-December, They Might Be Giants (TMBG) were on the show, promoting their latest children’s release (CD & DVD), Here Comes the Science.

And much to my delight, they played one of my alltime favorite TMBG tunes, Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas).

Enjoy.
