  • "The Spine Surfs Alone" is TMBG's best EP, in my opinion. An awesome collection of disturbing songs.

  • Linnell attempting a British accent had interesting results...

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone else hear Kermit the Frog start to sing at 1:13?

    Because I'm seriously worried that I am going insane.

  • Jon Hodgeman.

    Promoting.

    TMBG.

    I can now die happy. Thank you, internet. Thank you Jon. And thank you They Might Be Giants.

  • very silly, very funny:)

  • What A big Head :l

    and the other guy is just plain wierd

  • He's a PC.

  • And the Questerian geek kid from Galaxy Quest is a Mac.

  • ...the 4 on the clock is missing....

  • which is odd, if you look at the other videos it isn't

  • flash much?

  • lol...

  • Badass solo!

  • Classic!

  • I adore this song! I really wish he'd animated the whole thing.

  • you can only think of meee! lol/

  • Yet another John.

  • I REALLY REALLY Love this song!! so freak'n goooood!! =)

    U can only think of meeee(sticks in head oh yah) much so *

  • Holy hell, its John Hodgeman! Anyone ever notice that his voice and Linnell's voice are similar?

  • i thought it WAS linnel! lol

  • And Flans sings for his character in that movie "Coraline".

  • Its a conspiracy!

  • That was Linnell , dude!

  • No, John Linnel is thinner with a much weirder face.

    That was John Hodgeman, AKA "I'm a PC" or that guy from the Daily Show.

  • Wrong. It was Linnell.

  • why is it that all stop motion animation that hits main stream has to be this gothic stuff?!

    I'd like to see Tim Burton do sci fi. it is so like of him to remake alice in wonderland.

  • To be fair there isn't really much mainstream stop motion any more.

  • @nyctivoe MYSTERYGUITARMAN. nuff said

  • Why would someone who likes and it talented in one genre take a huge risk and change styles? Almost 100% if the time it fails, horribly. Now if he were allowed to use his creepy twists to make it HIS kind of sci fi, it would be good, by his standards, but it would suck to you cos it'd still be "goth".

    He already has an audience, if you like him, cool, if not, you most likely won't, no matter what he does, so he doesn't really care to try.

  • What in the World IS this? What are the "Venue Songs" (is it some sort of collection of TMBG songs, or a new album of some sort, or...?), and why is the PC guy from the Apple commericals a derranged millionaire?? haha. Seriously though, what's this all about?

  • songs named after TMBG singing venues, such as the TLA in Philly. John Hodgson, deranged millionaire and PC character, is the world's most brilliant comedian and author, with resemblance to a certain deranged Billion.., no it's purely coincidental. They Might Be Giants, of course, are the world's most Brilliant band, with resemblance towards no deranged millionaires or billionaires.

  • Linnell animation makes me happy

  • Does anyone notice how the various clips are arranged in chronological order? You can tell by looking at the clock as you slide the tracker forward.

  • Love the book in French! LOL!!

  • Seeing the comments below, I disagree with the people saying this should have been on "The Spine." That album had a distinct mood, and this song would feel out-of-place on that album.

  • His voice sounded a bit raspier in this, which fitted it perfectly. 5/5

  • awesome song! i love TMBG!!!

  • The clock part is cool. Plus thats a Seth Thomas clock. I have one just like it. It's the kind of clock you see in old schools. The elementry school I went to was being torn down years ago so I went inside and took some old stuff nobody wanted or needed. When the new shcool was build they ordered all new supplys so lots of stuff was left there, clocks, chalkboards with erasers left on them, paintings that kids did. It was pretty creepy.

  • I <3 TMBG and John Hodgman!

  • The song reminds me of Tom Waits. Has anyone watched the clock in the background of the deranged millionaire?

  • Kickass... these venue songs blow most of the Spine out of the water!

  • This isn't a venue song, it was recorded during The Spine's sessions for The Spine Surfs Alone, an EP that came out the same day as the album.

  • Why wasn't this on the Spine, then? Strange omission. Then again, Sensurround never ended up on a proper album either, and that was the best song ever.

  • Because it was on The Spine Surfs Alone. :)

  • Call me crazy, but this should be on the actual album.

  • Speaking of The Spine, check out my new series "The Pretentious Rock Snob", the first episode of which is devoted almost entirely to The Spine.

  • Awesome

  • beautiful. :D

  • Beautiful!

  • hodgman + tmbg = pure awesome

  • Yes. I like Mr. Linnell's flash animations. Please make more.

  • i hope linnell does more flash.
