And Now We Do the Dance of Joy

They Might Be Giants released their new album, The Spine today. Now normally this is where I’d throw in a link to the disc on Amazon, for I am a shameless product pimp. However, TMBG, being the fantabulously forward-thinking group that They is, has opened their own online music store. And so, out of the great respect I have for They, I am foregoing the possibility of earning a few dimes in order to point you, instead, to that store.

Buy The Spine directly from They Might Be Giants.

On the you-got-your-chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter front, TMBG has also been doing some collaboration with the Brothers Chaps, better known as Matt and Mike Chapman, best known as the creators of Homestar Runner. In addition to that video there are some absolutely killer Puppet Jam sessions under “Puppet Stuff” in the Toons section.

What could They possibly do to be any cooler? I dunno… Maybe headline an inexpensive, open-air concert in DC in a week and a half. Oh, wait! They is.
