They Might Be The Best Band Ever

THIS LAST MONDAY NIGHT THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS,
WHOM YOU KNOW IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND,
PLAYED IN TUCSON AT THE RIALTO THEATER.

I CHOSE MASSIVE GLITTER FOR THE EVENT:

THERE WERE AT LEAST SEVEN DIFFERENT COLORS

NOT INCLUDING MY EYELASHES WHICH I DID IN THE DARK 

BLUE GLITTER WHILE MY MASCARA WAS STILL WET.

MATCHING BOW

THIS WAS MY FOURTH TIME SEEING THEM.

FIRST TIME WAS IN PHOENIX BACK BEFORE I MOVED

 TO BUFFALO NY (2001 OR 02??).  THEN I SAW THEM IN BUFFALO

(2003 OR 04).  AND THEN I SAW THEM THE LAST TIME THEY CAME

TO TUCSON, WHICH WAS A FEW YEARS AGO.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT TMBG IS THAT THEY

NEVER LET THEIR FANS DOWN.  THEY PLAY CLASSICS,

OBSCURE UBER-FAN TRACKS, AS WELL AS THEIR NEW STUFF.

ISTANBUL VIDEO

AT ONE POINT THEY HAD A CAMERA ON 

THE AUDIENCE AND THEY WERE PROJECTING 

IT ON THE BIG SCREEN BEHIND THEM.

THESE ARE THE AVATARS OF THEY.

CLICK ON THE LINK.  YOU WANNA KNOW MORE.

THE MESOPOTAMIANS VIDEO

JOHN LINNELL PLAYS EVERY INSTRUMENT!

KEYBOARDS, ACCORDION, AND I FORGET WHAT 

THEY CALLED THIS FANCY HORN THING.

JOHN FLANSBURGH IS HILARIOUS.

THEY ARE SO TALENTED AND HAVE DONE SO MANY

AMAZING THINGS IN THEIR 30 YEAR CAREER.

I LOVE THIS MAN!

I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!

HERE THEY ARE TALKING TO THE CROWD ABOUT THE

TIME THEY PLAYED TUCSON AT A PLACE CALLED CITY

LIMITS.  IT ISN'T AROUND ANYMORE, BUT IT WAS A TOTAL

DOUCHE BAR.  ANYWAY, THEY HAVE AN ALBUM CALLED

STATE SONGS WHERE THEY'VE WRITTEN SONGS ABOUT

DIFFERENT STATES, AND THEY REFERENCE HAVING 

WRITTEN A SONG ABOUT CITY LIMITS.  HA HA.

CLASSY TUCSON DOES IT AGAIN!

BIRDHOUSE IN YOUR SOUL VIDEO

THE AUDIENCE AT THESE SHOWS IS ALWAYS A
TOTAL GUMBO.  THERE ARE OLDER PEOPLE, YOUNGER
PEOPLE, NERDS, HIPSTERS, AND JUST NO LIMITS TO IT.

BOTTOM LINE:  EVERYONE WHO'S ANYONE LIKES TMBG.
(I KNOW YOU DON'T BUNNY BANANA!!!)

AT THE SHOW WE RAN INTO ERNIE'S COWORKER WHO
HAD THIS BIG HEAD CUT OUT WHICH IS A TOTAL TMBG
THEME FROM FOREVER AGO.  THEY HAD THREE OF
THEM BEHIND THEM LAST TIME THEY PLAYED IN
TUCSON AND YOU CAN FIND THEM IN MUSIC VIDEOS
FROM WAY BACK.  I TOLD ERNIE THAT I LOVED IT AND
THE NEXT DAY HE BROUGHT ONE HOME TO ME:

HA HA, THIS ANGLE MAKES IT LOOK FUNNY.
ANYWAY, I HAVE TO ADMIT, I STILL DON'T
KNOW WHO THAT IS...

AND THEY PLAYED TWO ENCORES AT THE SHOW.
I COULD'VE WATCHED THEM ALL NIGHT LONG.  AFTER
THE SHOW ENDED THE BASSIST AND GUITARIST
(THE TWO DAN'S) HANDED STICKERS OUT TO THE
AUDIENCE AND DAN THE BASSIST SAID THAT HE
LIKED MY EYE MAKEUP.  I WAS DELIGHTED!!!
