I Payed for the Yip-Yap. I Can Get the Boom-Boom Twang-Twang at Home

They Might Be Giants: Podcast 32A! On first listen, full of intriguing sounds. Has the demo of Hotel Hell, a super early and not great TMBG song. Has an early version of Space Suit, very neat. Synthesized female voice is not as annoying as before; perhaps I become inured ( Read more... )

who took this one? autumnraina February 5 2008, 22:01:45 UTC

It wasn't me.

That podcast was soooo much fun! I wish we could've had the visuals with the conversations you transcribed - what's 'owie, owie, owie, owie'?!

Darned if I know! Someone's pretending to hit someone? He's pantomiming the keys being too hot? Or putting a sound track to someone else pretending their instrument is too hot?

I really enjoy the screwing around; it really adds. For me, anyway.

For some reason, I think the photographer is young and male, but I can't remember from whom I stole this. Drat.

The flubbed into to Birdhouse is great. It cracked me up when I heard it on the XM show, and it still cracks me up. Especially since they sit around and specificly talk about it being a segue beforehand. (Like, "oh yeah, there's a segway right? Yeah, there's a segway. I just wanted to double check, so that I could totally mess it up when we got there.")

The concert I went to was segue-tastic (opening with Damn Good Times into Birdhouse into The Guitar into WDTSS with literally no space in between songs), which would seem to prove Linnell wrong. If they can pull that off, why no Asbury to Birdhouse?

Owie-owie-owie-owie.

Oh! This is why I hadn't heard this, it's from the XM interview thingy recently? Dagnabbit.

No clue about what owie owie owie owie is about?

I was figuring he was imitating the sound of his keyboard. That was the first thing that came to mind.

Owie-owie-owie-owie. Sort of sounds like the part right before the chorus, right?

Podcast 32A is indeed love bec_87rb February 5 2008, 22:29:01 UTC

You know, I hadn't thought of that. I'll go re-listen.

EDIT: HEY, I bet this what he's doing, imitating the keyboard. Good call.

Oh that's a different demo of Hell Hotel too. I prefer the more up tempo one to this one.
