Grrrr!

Can I say how much They Might Be Giants is beginning to PISS ME OFF!
First, their newest project, Here Come the ABCs. As far as I can tell, No may have been a "kids" album, but it wasn't aimed at the Barney Crowd. Here Come the ABCs looks like it is. Not only that, but the music is... terrible. I won't download it and I consider myself a very devout fan.
Now amazon.com is telling me that, lo and behold, TMBG is coming out with Yet Another Frikkin' Compilation
Did I miss something here? Wasn't Dial-A-Song enough?
Grrrr..

Someone had better get their ass in gear and start coming up with some quality stuff cause I ain't buying this crap...
And I certainly as fuck don't want to go to a TMBG concert if they're playing "Here Come the ABCs"

Well, in fairness to them, I doubt they had anything to do with the new compilation, except giving permission. It is a cheap best-of disc (Dial-A-Song, being 2 discs, was not cheap).

I wasn't impressed with what I heard of ABCs either though, and I thought No was brilliant.

Did you ever download the Venue songs? I think that's what they've been playing in concert lately. (I have not heard them.)

I forgot to check out the Venue songs. The one I have heard "The Blue Note" is actually pretty good. Thanks for reminding me :)
I didn't think "No" was brilliant, but I did enjoy it :) It was a good album :) kid-centric but not like.. Barney or Teletubbies.. just kid-friendly decent music.

Yeah, because they totally owe it to you to produce a new album of fresh, musical tunes you'll love, every other year. :)

I've been waiting for a decade now for a certain musical artist to finish working with projects like polyphonic cell phone chips and get back to his keyboards and record something. I'm willing to wait for whatever comes though, and do other stuff in the meantime as well.

Eek. Sucky music is no good. And TMBG can do much better...
