Mine is the Cap'm I believe. Have that one live anywhere?

[quartertonality]

no, sorry, they played it that night, but I didn't get it on video. All the videos from the TMBG show that I got are up on my page.

[VonRichter]

I love the Cap'M. I'll be reviewing this album on my show "The Pretentious Rock Snob" soon.

[quartertonality]

awesome. if that is put on the internet somewhere send me the link, I would love to hear what you think of it.

[jadeybeans]

hooray! this is my favourite song on their new album I got today on iTunes :D

[quartertonality]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it!

[AlexandriaM]

Thanks for uploading this! Like a lot of people, "Climbing the Walls" is my favorite song off the new album and this is the first video I've seen of it live.

Mmm, John Linnell.

[pianoman930]

This album is so cool.

I thought it was about a lonely dog or cat whom the owner has stopped giving attention.

[OportoHallen]

No, it's about Spiderman. Probably having a midlife crisis.

[SidRoxTMBG]

I'd love to hear this one live someday. I predict a hundred years from now, Linnell is gonna be in the musicians hall of fame. He is one of the most awesome songwriters in history!

I love the way he looks down at the end, and slowly raises his eyebrows. So cute.

[ebonylark]

Is it true that this song is about Frank Kafka's "The Metamorphosis"?

[peeweeRamone]

Not to worry, TT. They played in a similar upscale venue in Albany(The Egg)and the first thing they did was urge everybody from the back to come down front. So everyone was standing, which may not be such a great thing since I suddenly found myself with two 6' 4" guys in front of me blocking my previously unobstructed view. Be careful what you wish for...

[gothicducks]

I'm going to be seeing them March 1st. It'll be awesome!

[ManInHat361]

I was there, in the very front left.

[TomsTrilogies]

this is bothering me...... i'm seeing them in october (yay for me). but it will be in a theater where there is an orchestra pit infront of the stage, so it will be a sit down and clap thing. Not a jumping around and going crazy thing. I hope it'll still be good.
